Marinating with your FoodSaver

®

Appliance

Your FoodSaver ® Vacuum Sealing System has a special

Quick Marinate Cycle which will last about ten minutes.

The vacuum motor will “hold” the vacuum for several minutes then release the vacuum allowing the food to

“rest” for 30 seconds. This process will then repeat two more times. This “Pulsing” action of “vacuuming and resting” will allow for quicker marinating. When the

Quick Marinate Cycle is completed the appliance will beep to signal marinating is complete.

The FoodSaver

FoodSaver ®

® Quick Marinator Canister is the perfect

Accessory for marinating foods. Foods will marinate in minutes when vacuum sealed because the vacuum process opens the pores of the food and absorbs the marinade more quickly.

Important Note: Use the FoodSaver ® Quick Marinating

Canister with clear lid and large white knob. During the

Quick Marinate Cycle, make sure knob on accessory lid is set to OPEN. Do not set knob to Vacuum. The

Vacuum position on the knob will allow the Quick

Marinating Canister to be used for extending vacuum storage.

1. Prepare enough of your favorite marinade to fully cover food inside a marinating canister.

Always leave at least one inch of space between

contents and top of rim.

2. Make sure rubber gasket underneath lids as well as rim of marinating canister is free from food materials.

3. Make sure Accessory Hose is securely inserted into port on the FoodSaver ® Quick Marinator lid.

4. Make sure knob on accessory lid is set to OPEN.

5. Make sure lid is firmly attached to marinator base.

6. Press Marinate button 3 on the control panel.

7. Your FoodSaver ® Vacuum Sealing System will now begin the Quick Marinate Cycle. The Marinate

Indicator Light will flash to indicate the marinating process has begun.

8. During the initial vacuum cycle the Marinate Mode

Indicator will illuminate. While Marinating, the

Vacuum Progress Display will blink during the

Vacuum Hold or Rest Cycle.

9. To preserve food safely, after completing the marinating cycle, the appliance will signal with short beeps to indicate your Quick Marinate Cycle is completed. Press any button to silence the signal.

You may now cook or refrigerate your marinated food.

Tips for Successful Vacuum Sealing

General Tips

Tips for Successful Vacuum Sealing

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 FoodSaver ® and Accessories.

brand Bags, Canisters

3. During the vacuum sealing process, small amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles can be inadvertently pulled into Drip Tray (O), clogging the pump and damaging your appliance.

To prevent this, follow these tips:

a. For moist and juicy foods: Freeze first and avoid overfilling bags. You can also place a folded paper towel inside top of bag, and below seal area, before vacuum sealing.

b. For soups, sauces and liquids: Freeze first and avoid overfilling bags. Or, use a canister in refrigerator.

c. For powdery or fine-grained foods: Avoid overfilling bags or use a canister. You can also place a coffee filter or paper towel inside before vacuum packaging.

d. Empty drip tray (O) after each use.

4. To avoid overfilling, always leave at least 3 inches of bag material between bag contents and top of bag. Then leave at least one additional inch of bag material for each time you plan to reuse bag.

5. Do not create your own side seams for a FoodSaver ® brand

Bag. Our bags are manufactured with a special side seam, which is sealed all the way to the outer edge.

6. To prevent wrinkles in a seal when vacuum sealing bulky items, gently stretch bag flat while inserting into the vacuum channel and hold until pump begins.

7. If you are unsure your bag was sealed properly, simply reseal bag.

8. 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 canister or Mason jar instead of a bag.

9. When using accessories, remember to leave one inch of space at top of canister or container.

10. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum sealing for best results. See FoodSaver ® Reference Guide included with your appliance for more information.

b. Examine power cord for any damages.

c. See if electrical outlet is working by plugging in another appliance. d. Check to be certain the Upper Bag Detection Tray (P) is properly inserted.

e. Make sure bag is placed correctly inside Vacuum

Channel (E). (See How to Vacuum Seal with FoodSaver ®

Vacuum Sealing Bags) f. Check to ensure Release Buttons (K) are properly latched.

g. Check Foam Gasket (M) around Drip Tray to make sure it is free from food material and is properly inserted into gasket channel.

h. Check Upper Gasket (Q) around Upper Bag Detection

Tray (P) to be sure it is free from food material.

i. If overheated, allow appliance to cool for 20 minutes.

j. For more usage tips and safety information, please refer to the FoodSaver ® Reference Guide or visit our website at www.foodsaver.com.

Tips on Removing Air from a Bag

Avoid wrinkles when inserting the bag into the

Vacuum Channel (E).

Wrinkles in seal may cause leakage and allow air to return into bag. To eliminate any wrinkles while inserting bag into the vacuum channel (E), hold bag with two hands gently stretching bag flat until vacuum pump begins. If you find wrinkles after sealing bag, simply cut bag open and vacuum seal again.

If motor runs for more than 30 seconds without

stopping, consider the following:

If you are vacuum sealing with a bag, make sure the bag is properly sealed (See “How to Make a Bag From a Roll”). Check foam gasket around Drip Tray to make sure it is free from food material and is properly inserted into gasket channel.

If vacuum sealing with an accessory, check Accessory

Hose connections to ensure a tight fit.

Tips on Sealing a Bag when making a bag from a roll:

Press the Seal Button (C) before placing bag material into the Vacuum Channel (E). Once bag in inserted the Seal process will begin immediately.

Note: If you forget to press the Seal Button (C) before inserting the bag into the Vacuum Channel (E), the vacuum pump will turn on, this is not a problem, simply press the

Seal Button to prevent the pump from running continuously, and the sealing process will begin.

How to Prevent moisture or liquid from being pulled into the

Drip Tray (O) or getting trapped in the seal:

Either pre-freeze moist food such as raw meat for 1-2 hours before vacuum sealing, or place a folded paper towel between food and end of bag to absorb excess liquids. Be sure to leave at least 3 inches between paper towel and end of bag so that bag seals properly with paper towel inside and is not positioned in between the seal area.

Make sure appliance has time to cool down.

Wait at least 20 seconds between seals. Under very heavy usage, appliance will stop operating to prevent overheating.

If it does, wait 20 minutes to allow appliance to cool off.

Tips on Using the Intergrated Bag Opener

The Bag Opener is a handy and convenient way to open sealed bags.

To Use:

1. Press Bag Opener to extend (press again to retract Bag

Opener for storage).

2. Fold end of bag to create a loop (as shown in Fig.5) with the sealed bag so the Heat Sealed area is above the cutter.

3. Hold bag taught with two hands and pull bag through the cutter (See Fig. 6).

Note: Bags that previously contained fruits, vegetable and dry goods can be resealed. Bags that contained raw meats, fish eggs or unpasteurized cheese should be discarded after use becase they may contain invisible bacteria that will remain after washing.
