IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For your own safety, always follow these basic precautions when using a
FoodSaver®appliance:
1. Read the Owner’s Manual carefully for operating instructions. Read all
instructions in this manual before use.
2. When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions are required to
always be followed, including the following:
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
DANGER – To reduce the risk of electric shock:
1. Do not reach for an appliance that has fallen into water. Unplug
immediately from receptacle.
2. Do not use while bathing or in a shower.
3. Do not place or store appliance where it is able to fall or be pulled into a
tub or sink. Do not place in or drop into water or other liquid.
4. Always unplug this appliance from the electrical outlet immediately after
using.
5. Unplug this appliance before cleaning.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock:
1. Do not use appliance on wet surfaces or outdoors.
2. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse any part of appliance,
power cord or plug in water or other liquid. Unplug from outlet when not
in use and before cleaning.
3. To disconnect, unplug power cord from electrical outlet. Do not
disconnect by pulling on cord.
4. Do not operate appliance with a damaged power cord or plug. Do not
operate appliance if it malfunctions or is in any way, damaged.
For details, contact Consumer Services at number listed below.
1. Use appliance only for its intended use.
2. Closely supervise children when using any electrical appliance. Do not
allow appliance to be used as a toy.
3. Caution: A short power cord is provided to reduce risks from
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be
used when marked electrical rating is no less than electrical rating of
this appliance.
4. No cords should drape over counter or tabletop, where cords can be
tripped over or pulled on unintentionally, especially by children.

5. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or heated oven.
Extreme caution must be used when moving products containing hot
liquids.
Important Tips
1. Vacuum sealing is NOT a substitute for the heat process of canning.
Perishables still need to be refrigerated or frozen.
2. For best results, use only with FoodSaver®Bags, Rolls, Containers and
Accessories.
3. During the vacuum sealing process, small amounts of liquids, crumbs
or food particles can be inadvertently pulled into the Vacuum Channel.
Empty the Drip Tray after each use.
4. Avoid overfilling; always leave at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) of bag material
between bag contents and top of bag. This allows room for the bag
material to cinch tightly against the food and prevents the bag from
pulling out of the Vacuum Channel during the sealing process. Then
leave at least one additional inch (2.54 cm) of bag material for each
time you plan to reuse bag.
5. Do not create your own side seams for a FoodSaver®Bag. These bags
are manufactured with a special side seam, which is sealed all the way
to the outer edge.
6. To prevent wrinkles in the seal when vacuum sealing bulky items, gently
stretch bag flat while inserting bag into Vacuum Channel and continue
to hold bag until Vacuum Pump starts.
7. When you are vacuum sealing items with sharp edges (dry spaghetti,
silverware, etc.), protect bag from punctures by wrapping item in soft
cushioning material, such as a paper towel. You may want to use a
FoodSaver®Container or Mason jar instead of a FoodSaver®Bag.
8. When using accessories, remember to leave one inch (2.54 cm) of
space at top.
9. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum sealing for best
results. (See “Guidelines” for food storage safety, pg 14-19.)
10.Wait 20 seconds between seals to allow appliance to cool.
11. Never store lid in Operate position as gaskets may become compressed.

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS:
A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is
provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or
extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is
used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance;
b. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding type 3-wire cord; and
c. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over unintentionally.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce
the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the
AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
