Vacuum Packaging Non-Food Items
THE FOODSAVER USER MANUAL
33
Your FoodSaver vacuum packaging
system also protects non-food items
from oxidation, corrosion and
moisture. Just follow the directions
for vacuum packaging using the
FoodSaver Bags or accessories.
◗ Vacuum package your silver.
Without exposure to air, the silver
will not tarnish. Be sure to cover
fork tines in something cushion-
ing like a paper towel, so they
won’t puncture the bag.
◗ Vacuum package your children’s
clay so that it won’t dry out and
get cracked.
◗ Camping and hiking gear stays
dry and compact. Vacuum pack-
aging your clothes and equipment
will help save space in your pack.
Vacuum package matches, maps
and anything you want to stay dry.
◗ For picnics, fill a FoodSaver Bag
with ice and seal. When it melts,
you’ll have fresh water for drink-
ing or you can put it back in the
freezer as a reusable ice pack.
◗ Vacuum package your food and
equipment for a boating or sailing
outing. Food will stay dry in the
cooler, batteries and film won’t get
damaged by water, and you’ll appre-
ciate having a dry change of clothes.
◗ FoodSaver Bags are also great for
storing extra keys or any spare parts
you need for your boat. They will
be dry and in one place.
◗ Vacuum package first aid kits and
emergency kits for your house,
your boat and your car. Items will
all be in one package and will stay
dry and without dirt and mold.
Include flares, batteries, flashlight,
candles and matches.
◗ Vacuum package extra spark plugs
and precision tools that always
seem to get lost. Seal nuts, bolts
and screws by size in separate bags.

Preparation Guidelines for Powdery Foods:
For best results when vacuum pack-
aging powdery foods in a FoodSaver
Bag, leave the item in its original
bag, then place that bag inside a
FoodSaver Bag. This will prevent
fine or powdery food from being
drawn into the vacuum pump and
help guarantee a good seal.
Keep powdery foods fresh and
protect them from insect infesta-
tion by repackaging them with the
FoodSaver after each use. You can
open the container and take what
you need for baking or cooking.
Preparation Guidelines for Snack Foods:
Keep snack foods fresh even if you
use them every day by vacuum
packaging them. Open the canister,
take what you need, then repackage
it to maintain freshness.
NOTE: Placing a box inside a FoodSaver Bag may puncture the bag. Therefore, it
is best to use the inner bag in which most powdery foods are generally packaged.
