5. 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.

6. 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.
