Marinating With Your Foodsaver ® Appliance - FoodSaver V4400 series User Manual

Marinating with your FoodSaver
Your FoodSaver Vacuum Sealing System has a special
®
Quick Marinate Cycle which will last about ten minutes.
The FoodSaver Quick Marinating Canister is the perfect
®
FoodSaver accessory for marinating foods.
®
During the Marinate Cycle, the vacuum pump will "hold"
the vacuum for several minutes then release the vacuum,
allowing the food to "rest" for 30 seconds. This process then
repeats. This "pulsing" action of "vacuuming and resting"
will allow for quicker more flavorful marinating.
Important Note: During the Quick Marinate Cycle, make sure
knob on lid of the Quick Marinating Canister
is set to OPEN. Do not set knob to Vacuum
during the Marinate Cycle.
1. Prepare enough of your favorite marinade to fully cover
food inside a marinating canister.
Always leave at least one inch (2.54 centimeters)
of space between contents and top of rim.
2. Make sure rubber gasket underneath lids as well as rim
of marinating canister is free from food materials.
3. Pull out Retractable Handheld Sealer from your
FoodSaver appliance. Remove clear bottom portion
®
of handheld from top handle (Fig. 1).
4. Insert the end into the port on the canister.
Make sure knob on accessory lid is set to OPEN (Fig. 2).
5. Make sure lid is firmly attached to marinator base.
6. Press Marinate button
7. Your FoodSaver
Quick Marinate Cycle. The Marinate Indicator Light will flash
to indicate the marinating process has begun.
8. During the initial vacuum cycle the Marinate Mode Indicator
will illuminate. While Marinating, the Vacuum Progress
Display will blink during the Vacuum Hold or Rest Cycle.
9. To preserve food safely, after completing the marinating
cycle, the appliance will signal with short beeps to indicate
your Quick Marinate Cycle is completed. Press any button
to silence the signal. You may now cook or refrigerate your
marinated food.
10. To use the Quick Marinating Canister for extended vacuum
storage (beyond the short Marinate Cycle): Rotate knob to
Vacuum/Canister position, connect the Accessory hose
(as above) and select Accessory Mode
control panel. When motor turns off, rotate knob clockwise
to the "Closed" position, then gently twist and remove
