FoodSaver Designer Canisters are both functional and attractive
and an excellent way to store delicate items in the refrigerator,
pantry, or on the countertop. FoodSaver Designer Canisters
cannot be stored in the freezer, and unlike the Bulk Storage and
Square Canisters, cannot be used in the microwave. The bases
can be put in the dishwasher for cleaning. However, do not put
the lids in the dishwasher.
1 Place the Vac 550 on a flat, dry surface and plug the power cord
into a standard electrical outlet.

at least one inch between the contents and the rim of the canister.
3 Place the lid on top of the canister.
4 Insert one end of the accessory
hose into the accessory port on
the Vac 550.

hose into the hole on the top of the canister.
