MAIN FUNCTIONS

The main function of this unit is to vacuum and seal a wide variety of foods, keeping them fresh for longer while preserving flavours and aromas. With the vacuum model VT52 you can easily:

Bake in individual portions or entire meals in advance to consume later, by heating them directly into the bag.

Prepare food for picnics and camping trips or barbecues.

Eliminate freezer burn, by simply sealing all foods before freezing them.

Eliminate bulky packaging of meat, fish, poultry and vegetables before you freeze or refrigerate.

Store pre-packaged foods (i.e. for diets with special needs).

Protect a wide variety of valuable items such as photos, important documents, stamps, collections, collections of books, cards or comics, etc... hardware such as screws, nails, rivets and bolts, or keep medicines, bandages and other elements of first aid kit.

OPERATING THE UNIT

To ensure best performance, use bags and rolls with opening up to 28.5cm.

1. SEALING

Use this function with vacuum rolls, where both sides are opened.

• Take the power cord, connect the plug to a suitable power socket (AC230V), the connector to the socket (14) on the back of appliance. Place a side of the roll over the rubber strip (8), then close lid.
• Press the lid down firmly on both sides by using both hands until it clicks in position (see Fig.2).
• Press the “Seal” button (1), the working light (6) turns blue during function; when it becomes green, the bag is sealed.
• Press the release buttons (10) to open the lid and take out the bag.

2. VACUUM THE BAG

- Fill bag with the food you want to store.

Fig 1 Fig 2

• Clean and straighten the open end of the bag, make sure that there are no ripples on it.
• Ensure the open end of the bag is inside the vacuum area (9) edged by the gasket (13), as shown in Fig.1.
• Press the lid down firmly on both sides by using both hands until you it clicks in position (see Fig.2).
• Press DRY button (3) to vacuum and then seal dry food (without humidity): for this food the sealing time is short. The button light switches on; when it turns off, the processes are completed.
• Press MOIST button (4) to vacuum and then seal moist food (with humidity): for this food the sealing time is longer. The button light switches on; when it turns off, the processes are completed.
• Press PULSE button (5) to make vacuum by pulses and manually regulate the vacuum level. This is useful to close fragile products, that can be damaged by automatic function. When you reach the desired vacuum level, close the bag with the “Seal” button (1).

WARNING: with the pulse (Impulsi) function the vacuum level may not be optimal, and therefore the conservation time may be shorter than expected.

- Press the release buttons (10) to open the lid.

3. HINTS FOR A BETTER USE

• Do not put too much food in the bag and leave at least 5cm empty space before sealing.
• Do not wet the open end of the bag since this would cause difficulties during sealing.
• There are many non-food uses for vacuum packaging (store camping items such as matches, first aid kit or keep clean and dry clothing, protect from dust some collectors items etc...).
• Clean and straighten open end of bag before sealing. Foreign materials can cause difficulties while sealing.
• Do not leave too much air inside the bag: press the bag before vacuuming.
• Do not store anything with sharp points (such as fish bones, hard shells etc...), sharp points can penetrate and tear the bag! Fill a bag with about 2/3 of water, seal the end (no vacuum), freeze it and use the ice bag for body injuries, muscle aches etc...
• To seal and put vacuum food intended to be frozen, it is necessary to leave two inches longer gaps to allow the expansion during freezing. We recommend that you put the meat or fish on a paper towel and vacuum with the paper towel in the bag since this will help to absorb the moisture from foods.
• Before storing in the freezer foods such as pancakes or burgers, it is advisable to divide them using parchment paper and stack the pieces before you close and vacuum the bag.

4. GENERAL SAFETY RULES IN FOOD STORAGE

Before using the vacuum machine, you must thoroughly wash your hands, all utensils and surfaces used for cutting and preparing food.

Refrigerate or freeze perishable foods immediately and do not leave them at room temperature.

The shelf life of dried foods such as nuts or grains stored and vacuumed will increase if stored in a dry place away from direct light.

The oxygen and heat can cause rancidity of high-in-fat foods, so it is advisable to vacuum, seal and stored them if you do not want to eat them soon. Before vacuuming fruits and vegetables (such as apples, bananas, potatoes and root vegetables), it is recommended to peel them.

If you want to vacuum, seal and store some vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and fresh cabbage, you need to blanch and freeze these foods before to keep them cool.

If perishable foods have been heated, thawed or non-defrosted, you need to consume them immediately.

The most suitable way to defrost food is to put it in the refrigerator until thoroughly unfrozen. It is not advisable to defrost food in hot water, in the oven or in the microwave oven.

Will be harmful if you consume foods that have been left at room temperature for more than a couple of hours, especially if they have been prepared with a thick sauce, vacuumed or stored in some oxygen-poor environment. To cool the temperature of the food quickly, evenly distribute the vacuum bags throughout the refrigerator or freezer.

CLEANING - Unplug the unit and wait until the complete cooling down of each part before starting cleaning operations.

o not use abrasive cleaners as this may scratch the surface of the unit. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth or sponge and mild soap. To clean the inside of the unit, wipe away any food with a paper towel. Thoroughly dry all parts before using the appliance again. The vacuum bags can be washed by hand or in the top rack of the dishwasher to be used multiple times. Dry thoroughly before using.
