Instructions for Food Storing

Vacuuming, i.e. air suction from the packaging, is a
proven method to extend the storage time of food.
With the PC-VK 1134, you have chosen a product that
enables you to quickly and practically use the advan-
tages of air-tight packaging. Our food quickly loses
its fresh taste and quality due to atmospheric oxygen.
The air-tight packaging prevents this.
Approx 90% of the air is removed from the seal
pouches. Compared to conventional storage methods,
the storage time of vacuumed and heat sealed food is
therefore extended by a factor of eight. Freezer burn is
prevented. Ready-to-serve meals can be portioned as
required and packaged.

Also, cooking of the food is possible in the vacuum
packaging. During the so called "sous vide cooking"
(vacuum cooking) nutrients and natural taste are
preserved even better.
In addition to solid foods such as nuts or beans,
non-consumable objects, that are sensitive to mois-
ture, such as coins, silver jewelery, clothes or matches
for the next canoe trip, can also be protected.
The following rules and notes will assist you,
especially if you have never had a vacuum sealer
before.
• Wash your hands and clean the accessories before
you begin the work.
• The bag should be approx. 8 centimeters longer
than the goods to be inserted.
• Do you have loose items like herbs, and would like
to cut open and re-seal the bag? In that case, add
another 2 centimeters of material.
• Add another 5 centimeters in length if you want to
freeze the product, since water-containing fluids can
expand under the cold influx.
• To create a vacuum, use only sheets with a struc-
ture, for example a rib, honeycomb or rhombic struc-
ture. Optimal results can be achieved with the diago-
nal ribbed foil included in the distribution package.
• Keep the area of the weld seam dry and clean. Avoid
creases, as the seam may start leaking in such
places.
