caso Vakuumierer SMART VAC20
This vacuum system will change the way you purchase and
store foods. Once you are accustomed to vacuum packing, it
will become an indispensable part of your food preparation.
Please follow certain procedures when using this appliance to
ensure food quality and safety.
Please note
► If perishable foods have been heated, defrosted or un-
refrigerated, consume them immediately.
► Before vacuum packaging, it's necessary to clean your
hands, and all utensils and surfaces to be used for cutting
and vacuum sealing foods.
► Refrigerate or freeze the perishable foods immediately, if
you have vacuum-sealed them, and do not leave them
sitting at room temperature.

will be extended in vacuum-sealed package, while storing

► Before vacuum sealing some fruit and vegetables, such as
apples, bananas, potatoes and root vegetables, peel them,
this will extend their shelf lives.
► When vacuum seal some vegetables such as broccoli,
cauliflower and cabbage fresh for refrigeration, they will emit
gases, so it's need to blanch and freeze these foods before
vacuum sealing.
