The FoodSaver Universal Lid, Bulk Storage Canister,

container is smooth and flat. Ragged edges will prevent the
Universal Lid from forming a vacuum.

of the container are free from food materials, crumbs, etc.

and that there are no food materials caught inside.

on the appliance and on the lid of the canister.
