FOOD SAFETY Vacuum-packaging When vacuum-packaging food in vacuum-storage boxes, most of the surrounding air is extracted whilst the inflow of fresh air is being prevented. This way the storage life of food is lengthened. Vacuum-packaging helps to prevent freezer burn, which is the dehydration of the surface layer of the food.
PREPARATIONS Before you can start vacuum-packaging vegetables, they need blanching. This will inhibit the enzymatic activity which causes loss of flavour and colour fading. Cook the vegetables or place them in the microwave until they are done, but still a bit crispy. Subsequently you immerse the vegetables in cold water, stopping the cooking process.

USING THE VACUUM DEVICE Unpacking the vacuum device and preparations for first use Take the vacuum device out of the box and remove all packaging materials. Place the vacuum device on a horizontal surface in a location where the vacuum device cannot tip over, even when passing. Switching on the vacuum device Insert the plug of the vacuum device into a wall socket.
Tips for packaging Pack the food as freshly as possible. By means of vacuum-packaging, the freshness of the food can be retained up to five times longer, compared with food that is stored under regular circumstances. Delicate and moist food, as well as food of which the shape should be retained, must first be frozen. Food such as meat, berries and bread can be frozen up to 24 hours before freezer burn starts.
AFTER USE Cleaning Allow the sealing strip to cool off first before cleaning it and remove the plug from the socket. Clean the outside of the vacuum device with a damp microfiber cloth and soft soap. Remove all moisture from the vacuum chamber and keep the sealing strip free from dust and dirt. Storing After the sealing strip has been made dust and dirt-free and the vacuum chamber is dry, you can store the vacuum device.
RECYCLING THE VACUUM DEVICE If the vacuum device is at the end of its life cycle, you can deliver it to a collection point for the recycling of electrical equipment. The vacuum device should not be disposed of along with regular household rubbish.
APPENDIX: STORING ADVICE FOR FOODS The vacuum device will change the way you purchase and store foods. As vacuum-packaging decelerates spoilage and prevents freezer burn, you can buy more foods at a time without the risk of waste. Using the vacuum device, you remove up to 90% of the air from the packaging. As such, foods can be kept up to five times longer than when storing it the normal way.
APPENDIX: OTHER VACUUM-PACKAGING APPLICATIONS You can also use the vacuum device for domestic applications other than food packaging. Vacuum-packaging is quite suitable for camping and outdoor activities Reusable cooling packs you can make yourself, by half filling a vacuum bag with water to which a few spoons of methylated spirit were added.
