CASO Germany VC 300 Vacuum System - Manual (Page 43)

caso VC300 Pro 43
PLEASE NOTE
► 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.
17.7 Use of the function "Adjustable vacuum strength"
Since the pressure of the vacuuming becomes too strong for specific foods and these
could be crushed in the bag, you can adjust the length and strength of the vacuuming
process via the function "Adjustable Vacuum strength". So you can adjust the vacuum
strength to the consistency of your vacuum food and also seal soft foods (for example
berry fruit) without crushing them.
Due to the time and pressure control, the crushing of delicate foods is prevented. You can
also use this function for the packaging of juicy foods to prevent that fluids are aspirated
and drawn out.
Adjustable Vacuum strength
1. Put the foods you want to store into the bag.
2. Clean and smooth the open end of the bag and be sure that there are no folds or
waves on the surfaces of the open ends.
3. Be sure that the open end of the bag is within the vacuum chamber seal. This
guarantees that there is no escape of the vacuum.
4. Close the cover and firmly press it down on both sides until you hear two "clicks".
5. Press the button "Vakuumstärke". As long as you press the button, air is withdrawn.
Only when you release the button, the process stops. Thus you can exactly control the
vacuum and prevent the liquid from being sucked. Please hold the button pressed until
the required vacuum has been reached.
6. Then press the button "Schweißen" and seal the bag.
** Press the button “Stop” to interrupt the process.
17.8 Use of the function "selectable welding time"
When there are fluids in the bag and hence in the section where you want to seal it, the
welding procedure should be adjusted to "feucht". This would increase the welding time
and the bag is safely sealed. Press the button "Trocken & Feucht". If the lamp will
illuminate above "feucht", the welding time for moist vacuum food is adjusted.
Please note
► Do not put too much food inside the bag; leave enough empty length in the open end
of the bag so that the bag can be placed in the vacuuming plate more positively.
► Do not wet the open end of the bag. Wet bags may be difficult to seal tightly.
