The Foodsaver is a wonderful cooking item, but you can also use it for storing clothing and other items. Here is store clothes with a Foodsaver.
Instructions
1. Plug Foodsaver in.
2. Take vacuum packaging roll and roll out to desired length. Remember to make it a little longer than the item you want to vacuum seal. This allows for opening and resealing and gives enough room to properly vacuum package.
3. Look on the front of the Foodsaver Vac 820. On the top there is a knob that has three choices: "seal only," "vacuum and seal," and "vacuum and extended seal." You want to set it at "seal only."
4. Lift the lid on the Foodsaver Vac 820. You will see an area marked "vacuum channel" and under that area you will see a long ridged straight seamed area. This is what seals the bag.
5. Place the unsealed top of the bag evenly against this area and hold it while closing lid. Remove your fingers as you are closing the lid.
6. After closing the lid press down and you will see the green light by the options knob light up. Keep pressing down and wait until the green light goes off.
7. Lift the lid and the bag will have been made.
