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 lid so the
arrow points to “Vacuum.”
2
Place lid on top of the open
container. Leave at least one inch
between the contents and the rim
of the container.
3
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.
4
With one hand press and release
the On Button to activate the
vacuum. With the other hand,
press down on the Universal Lid
until the vacuum takes hold
(this may take 3-5 seconds).
CAUTION: FoodSaver Universal Lids are not to be used with thin
glass, crystal, plastic or aluminum containers. The force exerted
by the FoodSaver vacuum packaging system is very powerful and
could implode a thin glass or a non-rigid container.
5
Once the vacuum takes hold on the container, the Universal
Lid can be released. Continue with vacuum packaging as you
would a Square Canister or Bulk Storage Canister. (See page
16, steps 5-7).
How to Open the FoodSaver Universal Lid
To open the FoodSaver Universal Lid, turn the knob so the arrow
points to “Open.” This will release the vacuum and allow the lid
to be removed.
IMPORTANT: Remember to remove the Accessory Hose from the
Accessory Port on the appliance before you vacuum package in
FoodSaver Bags. Remove the hose by gently twisting the gray
fitting while pulling it out. Never yank or tug the hose as this
may damage both the hose and the fitting.
