Vacuum Packaging With A Bag - CASO DESIGN FastVac 1200 Mode D'emploi Original

16.2 Vacuum packaging with a bag

Place the unit on a dry surface. Make sure the area in front of the unit is unobstructed and
wide enough to accommodate the food bags.
Check the LED status of "vacuumstreng" and the "sealing time" to confirm sealing time
depending on the moisture status of packed items and desired vacuum pressure according
to the type of food;
Press the "Vacuum & Seal" button. Air is automatically withdrawn. At the end the bag is
sealed, during this the indicator lamp "manual seal" lights up.
If you need to interrupt the vacuum operation for any reason first press the "Cancel"
button.
► Do not overstuff the bag; leave enough empty length in the open end of the bag (at least
a few inches) so that the bag can be properly placed in the vacuum chamber.
► Do not wet the open end of the bag. Wet bags may not seal properly.
► Clean and straighten the open end of the bag before sealing. Foreign matter or creases
on the bag may result in a faulty seal.
► Press the bag to expel excess air before vacuuming it. Too much air inside the bag may
result in a poor vacuum.
► If the food you're sealing has sharp edges (such as bones or shells) pack the edges
with kitchen paper to avoid tearing the bag
► We suggest you allow one minute of time in between sealing sessions to allow the
sealer to cool.
► When vacuum sealing liquid-based foods (such as soups or stew) freeze them first in a
baking pan or tempered dish before bagging and vacuum sealing them.
► Blanch vegetables by cooking them briefly in boiling water. Allow them to cool then
vacuum seal them in convenient portions.
► When vacuum sealing unfrozen food, allow at least two additional inches of bag length
for expansion while freezing. Place unfrozen meat or fish on a paper towel and vacuum
seal with the paper towel in the bag to absorb any extra moisture.
► Before storing foods such as tortillas, crepes or bread, use wax or parchment paper
between them to stack the pieces. This will make it easier to remove an individual piece,
reseal the rest and immediately replace them in the freezer.
Place the food to be preserved inside the bag.
Clean and straighten the open end of the bag--ensure there are
no wrinkles or ripples.
Place the open end of the bag within the vacuum chamber
area. Make sure the air intake is not covered by the bag.
Close the lid and press down firmly on the front handle
