How to use your Vacu Pro 2

WARNING: When not using the machine, keep the Handles (1) in the STORAGE position. Do not close completely in order to avoid damaging the Airtight Gasket (7).

Before each use, carefully clean your machine and accessories that come in contact with food (canisters, lids, jars, etc....) following the instructions provided in paragraph 'CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS'.

1. Positioning the machine

Position the machine in a dry place on a horizontal surface, being careful to leave the work zone around the machine itself free of obstacles and wide enough to allow for placing the bags of food to be packaged. Connect the power cable to an electrical outlet corresponding with its voltage (see the information label).

2. Connecting the machine

Insert the Power Cable Plug (17) in the outlet. Check for correct connection by rotating the Handles (1) in the START position; on the display of the Mod. EP6400, the GREEN ON LED (2a), the BLUE LED (20) for the 'turbo' pump speed and the RED LED (2L) for the 'Humid' sealing mode will light up.

3. Adjustments

3.1 Setting the sealing mode

The Espressions Vacu Pro 2 is equipped with an intelligent sealing function that auto-adjusts the sealing according to the temperature of the Sealing Bar which increases little by little with consecutive packing cycles. Therefore, the final bag sealing result can be influenced by the type of food to be packed or the temperature of the room. Thus, to optimise the final result you can choose form 3 sealing modes:

  • 'Dry' for dry foods like cookies, rice and coffee..
    • 'Humid for cheeses, dry meats and salami.
  • 'Humid' for red meats, which have liquids or blood, and fish. When the machine is turned on, the sealing option is always set to 'Humid'

To set the sealing mode, before starting the packing cycle, press the 'sealing mode' button (2M) to select the mode desired (fig. A).

fig. A

ATTENTION: The sealing mode selected remains memorized until the Handles (1) are rotated to the OPEN position. The selection must be done at every packing cycle.

3.2 Set the pump suction speed

The Espressions Vacu Pro 2 is equipped with a pump suction speed regulator to make the packing operation easier. When the machine is activated by rotating the Handles (1) to the START position, the speed is automatically set to 'turbo' or the highest that can be used in normal packing operations. However, when packing fragile foods in Espressions MAGIC VAC® bags, it is best to select the 'slow' function which reduces the pump speed, thus allowing control over the performance of the operation by manual activating the sealing process with the 'seal' button (2h) at the proper time. If the 'slow' speed is selected and the 'canister' or 'marinating' functions are then activated, the speed will automatically set itself to 'turbo'.

3.3 Cancel Button - (21)

To stop the machine at any time, press the 'cancel' button (21) as shown in figure B. All the LEDs will flash for several seconds. When they go off, the machine can be reactivated for any function.

fig. B

4 Recommendations for bag use

Espressions MAGIC VAC® bags are available in various sizes. Check the ideal bag size for the food that you intend to store. Make sure the length of the bag to be used is at least 8 cm greater than the food to be stored and add another 2 cm for each time the bag is to be reused.

5 Making bags from Espressions MAGIC VAC® rolls

a) Open the machine by rotating the Handles (1) to the OPEN position (fig. C and D).
b) Unroll the correct length from the roll (fig. E).
c) Close the Cover of the Roll Compartment (12) and cut the piece using the Bag Cutter (13), as shown in (fig. F), by running it from one side to the other.
Now you can seal one open side of the piece by following these steps:
d) set one of the two open ends of the bag on the Sealing Bar (6) (fig. G and G1).

fig. I fig. I1

fig. J 2528.16

a) Insert the food in the MAGIC VAC® Bag (see point 4), and eliminate any liquids or food residues from the inside of the end of the bag that must be sealed.

TIP: When vacuuming moist food, fold approx. 5 cm of the open side of the foil inside out and only then place the food in the bag. Fold back so that the foil is dry and clean where it needs to be sealed.

b) Lay the bag with its contents in front of the machine, placing the open end inside the Vacuum Chamber (8) (fig. L and L1).
c) Close the machine by rotating the Handles (1) to the START position (fig. M) and, looking through the Lit WINDOW (3), make sure the open end of the bag is inside the vacuum chamber (8) (fig. M1).
d) Start the automatic cycle by pressing the 'vacuum & seal' button (2D) (fig. N and N1). If you want to seal the bag before the automatic completion of the cycle, press the 'seal' button.
e) Wait for the LED seal light (2B) in the centre of the Progress Display (2C) to stop flashing.
f) Unlock the Cover (5) by rotating one of the two Handles (1) (fig. O) and remove the bag.
g) Check the seal obtained which should look like a regular horizontal line, smooth and without wrinkles (fig. O1).

PLEASE NOTE: Interrupting the automatic vacuum cycle and premature sealing does not fully extract oxygen from the food and will cause it to spoil and dry out sooner.

Marinating is the best method for flavouring a meat or game dish and tenderizing it. Food is marinated in just a few minutes when it is vacuum-packed because the vacuum-packing process opens the pores in the food allowing for greater and faster absorption of the marinade. Using the exclusive 'rapid marinating' function, the machine maintains the vacuum for several minutes and then releases it, allowing the food to 'rest' for 30 seconds. This process is repeated several times. The pulsating vacuum and rest action allows for a much faster marinating time. When the rapid marinating cycle is complete, the device will beep to signal that the marinating is finished. The entire cycle lasts about 14 minutes.

Proceed as follows:

a) To marinate meat, fowl and fish, poke the surface of the food and place it in the square Espressions MAGIC VAC® Executive 2,5 litre canister, cover it with the marinade chosen, leaving an air space of about 3 cm from the upper rim of the canister, and place the cover on the canister.
b) Attach the Side Handles on the lid itself and then turn the knob to the 'OPEN' - (M)' position (fig. T).

PLEASE NOTE: It is very important that the knob on the container is left in the 'OPEN - (M)' position for the entire marinating cycle.

PLEASE NOTE: Ensure that the seal on the lid and the rim of the canister are clean and dry.

c) Using the Connection Tube (16), connect the ACCESSORY PORT (4) on the machine with the Canister Lid Knob (fig. T1).
d) Close the machine by rotating the Handles (1) to the START position (fig. T2).
e) Press the 'marinating' button (2F) (fig. T3 and T4); the corresponding BLUE LED light will turn on and remain steady during the vacuum phase and flashing during the rest phase. The machine will turn itself off automatically after the third vacuum phase. The entire cycle lasts about 14 minutes.
f) A beep indicates that the cycle has ended.
g) Detach the tube from the canister first and then from the machine air intake.

PLEASE NOTE: At the end of the cycle, if you wish to vacuum-pack your marinated food, turn the knob on the canister to the 'CLOSED' position.

h) Then, to end the cycle, press the 'cancel' button (21) or turn the Handles (1) to the OPEN position.

You can stop the machine at any time by pressing the 'cancel' button (2I) or turning the Handles (1) to the OPEN position; if you wish to repeat the marinating operation you must detach the tube from the canister ad wait for it to refill completely with air. Then, re-attach the tube to the knob (in the OPEN - M position) on the container, then restart the rapid marinating cycle by pressing the 'marinating' button (2F).

The advantages of vacuuming

Vacuum packing will revolutionise the way in which you buy and keep food. By keeping food under vacuum (i.e. without air), the shelf-life of foods is greatly extended, whether it is kept in the larder, fridge or freezer. Air can make food rancid and stale, it can cause it to ferment, dry out, and it may even cuse freezer burns. Vacuum packing keeps your food fresher and more flavourful for longer.

Now you can pack fresh food bought from the market, or food picked from your vegetable garden, in handy portions for future use, even in large quantities. Food bought already vacuum-packed, like cheese and meat, will retain its flavour and freshness once opened, without problems of moisture and mould, if it is vacuum-packed after use in Espressions Vacu Pro 2 bags and containers. Meat, fish and vegetables can be frozen without the risk of frost burns and will keep their freshness and quality. Foodstuffs like coffee, rice, flour and nuts will last much longer if they are vacuum packed. Fresh or perishable foods must in any case be frozen or kept in the fridge.

IMPORTANT: The original quality of the food must be of the very highest order, in terms of freshness and environmental hygiene, when you decide to vacuum pack it. There are in fact no preservation methods which will transform a poor product into a good one.

Always keep your Espressions MAGIC VAC® bags and containers handy and you will quickly appreciate the many advantages and ease of use that Espressions Vacu Pro 2 offers when it comes to preserving the quality of food. Consult the 'Food preservation times with Espressions Vacu Pro 2' chart to see how vacuum packing can extend the life of any food without in any way altering or impairing its taste, smell, appearance, hygiene and nutritional value.

Approximate values which in any case depend on pack integrity and on original food quality characteristics. These values also refer to packaging obtained with Espressions MAGIC VAC® bags/rolls, containers and accessories combination. The times shown on the chart cannot be guaranteed with use of bags/rolls, containers and accessories of other brands. The manufacturer therefore disclaims liability.

IMPORTANT: Keep perishable foods in the freezer or fridge. Vacuum packing extends the life of food, but does not turn it into a 'preserve', i.e. a stable product at ambient temperature.

About vacuum packing

The deterioration of food is caused by chemical reactions that occur in food which is exposed to the air, temperature, moisture, the action of enzymes, the growth of micro-organisms or contamination by insects. Vacuum packing reduces the absolute pressure of the air inside the package or container, by removing the oxygen and eliminating volatile compounds. The oxygen in the air causes food to deteriorate, firstly through a process of oxidation, causing the loss of nutritional values, flavour and all the food's qualities. Air also promotes the growth of most micro-organisms and causes the frost burns which occur on frozen food. Vacuum packing extends the shelf life of many fresh foods, by reducing oxidation and preventing the proliferation of microbes (bacteria and mould). However, many fresh foods contain sufficient moisture to encourage the growth of micro-organisms that can grow with or without air. To prevent the deterioration of such foods, they must be preserved at low temperatures.

Micro-organisms like mould, yeast and bacteria are present everywhere, but they can cause problems only in certain conditions. For example, mould will not grow in environments with a low oxygen content, or in the absence of moisture or humidity. To grow, yeast requires moisture, sugar and a moderate temperature, but it can grow in the presence or absence of air. Refrigeration slows the growth of yeast and freezing blocks it completely. Bacteria can multiply with or without air, depending on their type. Clostridium Botulinum is a very dangerous type of bacteria which can develop in environments which do not contain acids, are without oxygen and are exposed to temperatures in excess of 4°C for long periods of time. Foodstuffs vulnerable to attack by Clostridium Botulinum are those with low acidity (like red meat, poultry, fish, seafood, olives in brine, eggs, mushrooms and vegetables) and medium acidity foods like virtually all vegetables and many fruits (ripe tomatoes, onions, red pepper, figs and cucumbers). To prevent contamination by this bacterium, it is essential to observe the basic rules of hygiene and, to prevent its harmful proliferation in preserved foods, they must be refrigerated for short periods and/or frozen for long-life preservation. However, such foods must be eaten immediately after heating.

IMPORTANT: You must consume immediately any food which has been heated while still sealed in Espressions MAGIC VAC® bags. Leaving the food to cool slowly at room temperature in the sealed vacuum bag may cause several harmful micro-organisms to multiply, in just a few hours, to values that are healththreatening.

Several enzymes found in foods cause increasingly noticeable changes in colour, structure and flavour; such changes depend on the preservation time, temperature and, above all, the presence of air. To halt the action of enzymes, vegetables must be blanched briefly using steam or a microwave oven. Food which contains a high percentage of acidity, like most fruits, do not require blanching. The absence of air created by the vacuum will in any case slow down or prevent the action of these enzymes. Insect larvae are frequently found in many low water content or dried foods which have not been vacuum packed or frozen, and they can develop during preservation and thus contaminate the food. Some products like flour and grain might contain larvae, but using vacuum packing will stop them developing into insects.

How to preserve food in Espressions MAGIC VAC® bags

Vacuum packing for the freezer

First of all, use the freshest possible food. The Espressions Vacu Pro 2 system will allow you to retain all the freshness of the food only if it is properly preserved. Some foods have a soft consistency which could be damaged by vacuum packing the product when fresh. To prepare delicate foods like meat, fish, berries, bread, etc., it is advisable to pre-freeze them first. In the first twenty-four hours there is no risk of freezer burns, so you can vacuum pack the products frozen the previous day in Espressions MAGIC VAC® bags, and then keep them in the freezer for long periods so as to preserve all the nutritional values and flavour of the product you have packed. When vacuum packing soups, stews or other liquid food, pre-freeze it in a pan or high-strength dish. When the food becomes solid, vacuum pack it, add a label and replace in your freezer. To vacuum pack vegetables, peel them and then blanche them briefly in boiling water or a microwave oven until they are warm but still firm. Then vacuum pack them in convenient portions. If the food is not pre-frozen, leave an extra 5 cm in the length of the bag to allow for expansion due to freezing. With regard to meat and fish, it is advisable to place the food on a paper towel and vacuum pack it with the towel in the bag. This will absorb any moisture in the food. To preserve food like focaccia, crêpes and small hamburgers, stack them on top of each other, placing greaseproof paper or film between each piece. This will make it easier to remove some of the food, repackage the rest and replace it immediately in the freezer.

Vacuum packing for the fridge

For busy households, food can be prepared in advance, then vacuum packed and kept in the fridge for use at different times, ready to be heated as and when necessary.

Vacuum packing for the larder

Even foods that can keep at room temperature (like, for example, coffee, flour, pasta, sugar, etc.) can benefit from vacuum packing. If these products are to remain unused for several days, such as when you go away on holiday, it is advisable to protect all foods by vacuum packing. They will keep better and moisture, mould and insects will not attack and ruin them.

Defrosting Espressions MAGIC VAC® bags

To defrost vacuum packed food such as meat, fish, fruit, vegetables or other delicate foodstuffs, place it on the lowest shelf in the fridge to defrost slowly; bread and focaccia should be left at room temperature, while soups or other liquid foods should be immersed in hot water still in the vacuum bags until they reach the right temperature. When you leave food at room temperature or heat it in a bain-marie, make sure you cut one corner of the bag to let the steam escape. When the food has been defrosted, it must be consumed immediately. Do not re-freeze it.

Repackaging pre-packed food

Many foodstuffs, like cheese and meat, are sold pre-packed in factory-prepared vacuum bags. To retain the flavour and freshness of these foods, repackage them in Espressions MAGIC VAC® bags after the factory package has been opened.

Pre-packed foods must always be consumed by the use-by date shown on the original package. They must also be handled with the greatest care and hygiene when repackaging.

Useful tips

  • For food with tapered ends or sharp edges, like bones and spaghetti, pad the edges with paper towels to prevent perforating the bag.
  • Fragile and delicate foodstuffs like strawberries, crackers or biscuits should be preserved in Espressions MAGIC VAC® containers.

- There are many non-food products which can be vacuum packed, such as camping equipment including matches, first aid kits and clean, dry clothes. You can even preserve the emergency triangle in the car. Silverware and collections can also be vacuum packed to protect the items against oxidation, etc.

How to preserve food in Espressions MAGIC VAC ^® containers

WARNING: Do not use plastic or glass containers that are not suitable since they could implode under the vacuum pressure of Espressions Vacu Pro 2 and cause injury.

Freezing in containers

To freeze food in plastic containers use only Espressions MAGIC VAC ^® containers or, in the case of glass receptacles, used tempered glass suitable for freezer temperatures.

Vacuum packing food in containers

Vacuum packing in containers is ideal for products that you use frequently. Dried foodstuffs like pasta, rice, flour, sugar, crisps, savouries or biscuits, and pet food, will maintain all their shape and freshness. Salad foods and vegetables can be cleaned for the whole week and kept in an Espressions MAGIC VAC® container. They will remain firm and fresh. To absorb excess moisture, fold a paper towel and place it on the bottom of the container.

WARNING: Liquids must be cooled before vacuum packing. Hot liquids will expand and leak from the container during depressurising.

Food in powder or granule form can be covered with a paper towel before vacuum packing. This will prevent the powder or granules from getting into the vacuum paths or being deposited in the Vacuum Cap seal. Oil used once for frying can be filtered, cooled, vacuum sealed in an Espressions MAGIC VAC ^® container and kept in the fridge. This will enable you to use the oil again at least once, since it has been preserved in an airless and cold environment, thereby retaining its characteristics. Larder items like flour, rice and cake mixes stay fresh for longer if they are vacuum packed. Nuts and condiments retain their flavourand will not become rancid.

Tips for preserving food in jars

To preserve food in jars, use lids which have been checked and are free from defects. To create and maintain a good vacuum, the seals of the lids must be in perfect condition. To keep the lids in good condition, immerse them in boiling water for three minutes and then rub the dry seal with a drop of oil. This will restore the necessary elasticity to the seals of the lids.

Points to remember

In order to optimise the preservation of foods and ensure perfect hygiene, a number of important rules must be followed:

  • Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly and clean all the implements and surfaces you will be using to cut and vacuum pack the food.
  • If possible, wear gloves when handling the food.
  • Once perishable food has been packed, place it in the fridge or freeze it immediately, maintaining a constant fridge or freezer temperature. Do not leave the food for a long time at room temperature.
  • Place the containers of vacuum packed food carefully in the fridge or freezer so that the food will cool rapidly to a low temperature.
  • After opening tinned food or food that has been factory vacuum packed, it can be vacuum packed again. Follow the instructions to cool the food after opening and put it away as soon as it has been vacuum packed.
  • Pre-packed foods must in any case be consumed by the use-by date shown on the original package.
  • Once you have warmed up or defrosted perishable food, it must be eaten. Do not eat perishable food if it has been left at room temperature for many hours. This is especially important if the food has been prepared with a dense sauce, in a vacuum pack or in other low-oxygen content environments.
  • Do not defrost food in boiling water or using other heat sources, unless the food in question is liquid (soups, juices, etc.).
    • Vacuum packing extends the life of dried food. Food which has a high fat content becomes rancid due to oxygen and heat. Vacuum packing extends the life of food like nuts, coconuts, or cereal products. Store in a cool, dark place.
    • Vacuum packing will not extend the life of fruit and vegetables such as bananas, apples, potatoes and several vegetables, unless it has been peeled prior to vacuum packing.

  • Soft foods and food with a delicate structure (like fish, berries, etc.) must be pre-frozen for one night before they can be vacuum packed and placed in the freezer.

  • Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage give off gas when they are vacuum packed fresh for storage in the freezer. To prepare these foods for vacuum packing, heat and freeze them.
  • To ensure correct and safe vacuum packing, use only original Espressions MAGIC VAC® bags, containers and accessories.
