How to Make a Custom-Made Bag with FoodSaver Rolls
THE FOODSAVER USER MANUAL
6
When using FoodSaver Rolls you first need to make a bag, then
vacuum package your food in the bag. (If you are using ready-
made FoodSaver Bags, go to page 8.)
1 Place the Vac 550 on a flat, dry surface and plug the power cord
into a standard electrical outlet.
2 Lay the item(s) you want to vacuum package near the FoodSaver
Roll so you can see where to cut the bag material. Leave at least 3
extra inches at one end of the bag and more if you want to reseal
or reuse the bag. (One inch per reseal.)
3 Cut the FoodSaver Roll to the
desired length, making sure you
cut straight. The marks on the side
of the roll are at 3" intervals and
will assist you in cutting straight.
4 Open the lid of the Vac 550. If the lid is locked, release locks by
pressing down firmly on the stars.
5 Place one end of the
bag on the sealing strip.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the end does not go over the black foam
rubber ring, or into the vacuum channel.
