Opening A Sealed Bag; Storage; Cleaning And Maintenance; Safety Information - CASO DESIGN VC350 Instruction Manual

Please note
► Suggest to vacuum seal one bag within 1 minute to let the appliance cool down
enough.
► In order to vacuum seal liquid-based foods, such as soups, casseroles or stew, freeze
them first in a baking pan or tempered dish, vacuum seal them, label and stack them
in your freezer as soon as they are in frozen solid.
► Blanch the vegetables by cooking briefly in boiling water or microwave oven, cool them
down , then vacuum seal them in convenient portions.
► To vacuum seal the foods not frozen, two extra inches are required for bag length to
allow for expansion while freezing. Place the meat or fish on a paper towel and
vacuum seal with the paper towel in the bag, this way will help to absorb moisture from
the foods.
► Before storing the foods such as tortillas, crepes or hamburger, use wax or parchment
paper between them to stack the pieces, this will be easier to remove some of the
food, reseal the rest and immediately replace in the freezer.
► The vacuum sealer can't be used directly for vacuum sealing canisters or canning jars
