FoodSaver Universal Lids are ideal for keeping foods, such as
sauces, peanuts and coffee, fresh longer in their original con-
tainers. These lids work with metal cans, thick glass jars and
rigid plastic containers. Remember, perishable goods should
still be refrigerated. Also, if you plan to store food in cans for
more than a day, it is advisable to transfer food into a plastic
or glass container to prevent off-flavor from developing from
the can.
1 Turn the knob on the
Universal Lid so the arrow
points to Vacuum.
2 Insert one end of the Accessory
Hose into the Accessory Port on
the appliance. Insert the other end
of the Accessory Hose into the
hole on the top of the Universal
Lid. Twist the gray hose fitting
while inserting to ensure a tight fit.
3 Place the lid on top of the open
container. Leave at least one inch
between the contents and the rim
of the container.

CAUTION: FoodSaver Universal Lids are not to be used with thin
glass, crystal, plastic or aluminum containers. The vacuum force
exerted by the FoodSaver Vacuum Packaging System is very
powerful and could implode a thin glass or a non-rigid container.
