► 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 on the sealing bar.
► 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.
► 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.
► 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.

17.3 Sealing a bag without vacuuming

You can seal a bag without vacuuming it. Place the bag in the vacuum chamber as usual,

the bag from the outside over the sealing bar.
Then close the lid and press Seal.

17.4 Vacuuming a bag outside the vacuum chamber

You can also vacuum a bag outside the vacuum chamber. To do this, place the bag from
the outside over the sealing bar. Then close the lid and proceed as described under
"Vacuum packaging with a bag in the vacuum chamber. However, this works only with
structured bags. For best results, use double-sided bags.
► Vacuuming outside the vacuum chamber can only be done with structured bags.

materials such as plastic wrap. All vacuum rolls and bags delivered by CASO are
