How To Vacuum Package Using FoodSaver Universal Lids
THE FOODSAVER USER MANUAL
20
FoodSaver Universal Lids give you the flexibility of vacuum
packaging some foods in their original containers. They work on
most metal cans and glass jars. They’re excellent for retaining the
freshness of tomato and pasta sauces, coffee, mustards, and toppings.
However, vacuum packaged canned foods still must be refrigerated
to minimize micro-organism growth. If you are planning to store
canned foods for more than a day, transferring foods from the can
into a FoodSaver Bag, FoodSaver Canister, a glass, or a hard plastic
container is recommended to prevent “off-flavor” from developing
from the can.
1 Place the Vac 1050 on a flat, dry surface
and plug the power cord into a standard
electrical outlet.
2 The universal lid is labeled “Open,”
“Vacuum,” and “Closed.” Turn the knob
on the universal lid so the arrow points to
“Vacuum.”
3 Place the universal lid on top of
the open container.
4 Insert one end of the accessory
hose into the accessory port
on the Vac 1050.
5 Insert the other end of the
accessory hose into the
hole on the top of the
universal lid.
CAUTION: FoodSaver Universal Lids are not to be used with thin
glass, crystal, plastic, or aluminum containers. The vacuum
force exerted by the Vac 1050 is very powerful and could implode
a thin glass or a non-rigid container.
