This chapter provides instructions on the proper operation of your vacuum sealer:

5.1 Basics of sealing

5.2 Bags and rolls

Please only use specified bags and rolls designed for vacuum sealing. Do not use other materials such as plastic wrap.
All vacuum rolls and bags delivered by CASO international are appropriate for sous vide cooking.
Furthermore the vacuum rolls and bags can be used for defrosting and heating in the microwave at up to 158° (70° C ).
Please make sure when vacuum rolls and bags of other producers are used, whether they are also microwaveable and suitable for sous vide cooking.

5.3 Cutting a new bag

1. Place vacuum bag roll inside the detachable vacuum bag roll holder.
2. Attach vacuum bag roll holder to the back of the vacuum sealer. There are small tabs on the back of the unit that should slide into corresponding slots on the vacuum bag roll holder.

3. Open the top cover of the vacuum sealer and pull the desired length of bag through the slot in the top cover.
4. Push the Cutter Unlock Buttons located on either side of the top cover to release the cutter arm.

5. Firmly press the cutter arm down over the bag roll where you’d like to make the cut. Then move the slider on top of the cutter arm across the bag roll to make the cut.

PLEASE NOTE

► Cut the bag at least 3 inches longer than needed. The sealed ends will take up the extra space.

5.4 Sealing a new bag

1. Open the lid and place one end of the bag into the vacuum sealer (see Chapter 5.1, Step 1).
2. Press the cover down firmly on the right then left corner using two hands until you hear it click into place (see Chapter 5.1, Step 2).
3. Press the “Seal” Button. The Sealing Indicator Light will light.
4. When the Sealing Indicator Light turns off, the bag is sealed.
5. Unlock the cover by pressing the Cover Unlock Buttons and remove your finished bag (see Chapter 5.1, Step 3).

PLEASE NOTE

► Make sure the bag you want to use is at least 3 inches longer than the food you’re bagging.

5.5 Vacuuming and sealing
Place the unit on a dry surface. Make sure the area in front of the unit is unobstructed and wide enough to accommodate the food bags.
1. Place the food to be preserved inside the bag.
2. Clean and straighten the open end of the bag–ensure there are no wrinkles or ripples.
3. Place the open end of the bag into the vacuum sealer. (see Chapter 5.1, Step 1)
4. Close the cover and press down firmly on the right then left side by using two hands until you hear two clicks (see Chapter 5.1, Step 2).
5. Press the Vacuum & Seal Button. The Vacuum Indicator Light, then the Sealing Indicator Light with light as the bag is automatically vacuumed and sealed. Once it is finished, both lights will turn off.

6. Unlock the cover by pressing the Cover Unlock Buttons and remove your finished bag (see Chapter 5.1, Step 3).
Check the appearance of the sealed bag; it should have a double stripe across the seal and no wrinkles, otherwise the seal may not be complete.
If you need to interrupt the vacuum operation for any reason first press the Stop Button. It is then safe to unlock the cover.

PLEASE NOTE

► Do not overstuff the bag; leave enough empty length in the open end of the bag (at least a few inches) so that the bag can be properly placed in the vacuum sealer.

► Do not wet the open end of the bag. Wet bags may not seal properly.

► Clean and straighten the open end of the bag before sealing. Food or creases on the bag may result in a faulty seal.

► Press the bag to expel excess air before vacuuming it. Too much air inside the bag may result in a poor vacuum.

► If the food you’re sealing has sharp edges (such as bones or shells) pack the edges with kitchen paper to avoid tearing the bag

► We suggest you allow one minute of time in between sealing sessions to allow the sealer to cool.

► When vacuum sealing liquid-based foods (such as soups or stew) freeze them first in a baking pan or tempered dish before bagging and vacuum sealing them.

► Blanch vegetables by cooking them briefly in boiling water. Allow them to cool then vacuum seal them in convenient portions.

► 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.

5.6 Vacuuming Sealing Tips
This vacuum sealer will keep your food fresh and protect the quality and nutritional value of your food. By eliminating the air from the bag or container, you will cut down on oxidation and make your food last longer.

Vacuum sealing will also prevent mold, yeast, and bacteria from growing on your food. These can all be dangerous and affect your food if you do not store your food in a cool environment. To greatly lower the growth of these microorganisms, we suggest that you keep your food at or below 40F (4C). Keeping your food at 0F (-17C) will not kill the microorganisms but will stop them from growing. Freeze food for long term storage and, after thawing, keep in refrigerator.

Microwave
When thawing food, do so in a microwave or refrigerator.
Cut the corner off of the bag when reheating food in a microwave. We advise against reheating greasy foods or bone-in meats in the microwave, instead put them in 170F water on a low simmer.

Meats and Fish
For meats and fish, best to portion out and seal while fresh.
Our double sealing system provides a secure seal for added protection

Vacuum seal hard cheese after each use.
When sealing, leave one inch (2.54 cm) of extra space for each time you will reseal the bag.
Never vacuum seal soft cheeses because they are susceptible to bacteria.

Vegetables
To vacuum seal leafy vegetables, first wash and then dry using paper towels or a salad spinner. Use a container as opposed to a bag and then seal as normal.

Coffee / Powdery Foods
At the top of the bag, place a coffee filter or paper towel when vacuum sealing coffee or powdery foods.
You can also vacuum seal these foods in their original packaging by putting them in a vacuum sealing bag.

Liquids
Freeze all liquids before vacuum sealing in a bag. Keep the vacuum sealed liquid in your freezer. When you need to use your liquid, cut the corner off of the bag and put in a bowl in a microwave or put them in 170F water on a low simmer.

Non- Food items
Non-food items can also be stored using a vacuum sealer. This will prevent moisture and oxygen from ruining your items. Seal like you would with food.

Sous Vide Cooking
Sous Vide is a French term that translates to” under vacuum”. It is the process used by gourmet restaurants of vacuum sealing food in a bag and cooking at a precise temperature in a water bath. This technique provides healthier, better tasting meals that are never overcooked…never dried out! Sous vide cooking enables your foods to retain all of their unique tastes, vitamins, nutrients and minerals. The Caso vacuum bags are perfect for Sous Vide cooking

5.7 Use of the function “Adjustable vacuum strength”
Sometimes vacuum pressure can be too strong for certain foods and the food can be crushed in the bag. This feature allows you to adjust the time and strength of the vacuuming process. You can now adjust the vacuum strength to the consistency of your food and also seal soft foods (i. e. berries) without crushing them. Due to time and pressure control, the crushing of delicate food is prevented. You can also use this function for juicy foods to prevent liquid from being 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 sealer. This guarantees that there is no escape of the vacuum.
4. Close the cover and firmly press down on the right and then left side of the corners until you hear two “clicks”.
5. Press the button “Adjustable Vacuum”. 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. Please hold the button pressed until the required vacuum has been reached.
6. Once the required vacuum has been reached, press the seal button to seal the bag.
** Press the button “Stop” to interrupt the process, if needed.

5.8 Adjustable seal time function
When there is liquid in the bag, the “Dry & Moist” button should be adjusted to “Moist”. This will increase the sealing time to ensure the bag is sealed. Press the “Dry + Moist” button before beginning the vacuum sealing process. The light above moist should be illuminated. This will adjust the sealing time for moist foods.

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 sealed properly.

► Do not wet the open end of the bag. Wet bags may be difficult to seal properly.

Please note

► Clean and straighten the open end of the bag before sealing the bag. Make sure nothing is left on the open area of the bag. Food or creased bags may make it difficult to o seal tightly.

► Press the bag to expel excess air before vacuuming it. Too much air inside the bag may result in a poor vacuum.

► If the foods you’re sealing have sharp edges, such as bones, spaghetti or shellfish, pack the edges with kitchen paper to avoid tearing the bag

► We suggest you allow one minute of time in between sealing sessions to allow the sealer to cool.

► When vacuum sealing liquid-based foods (such as soups or stew) freeze them first in a baking pan or tempered dish before bagging and vacuum sealing them.

► Blanch the vegetables by cooking briefly in boiling water. Allow them to cool , then vacuum seal them in convenient portions.

► When vacuum sealing unfrozen food, allow at least two inches of additional bag length for expansion while freezing. Place unfrozen meet or fish on a paper towel in the bag to absorb any extra moisture.

► Before storing the foods such as tortillas, crepes or hamburger, use wax or parchment paper between them to stack the pieces, this will make it easier to remove some of the food, reseal the rest and immediately replace in the freezer.

5.9 Opening a sealed bag
Cut the bag straight across with scissors or the cutter, just inside the seal.

5.10 esealing store-bought bags
You can reseal many foods in their original store packages (e.g. potato chip bags). Follow the steps shown in Chapter 5.5 Vacuuming and sealing.

PLEASE NOTE

► The vacuum sealer can’t be used directly for vacuum sealing canisters or canning jars. It can only be used with CASO canisters (with the included hose).

5.11 Storage
Store the unit in its upright position, out of the reach of children.

PLEASE NOTE

► Always unplug the appliance from its outlet immediately after using and before cleaning.

► For the correct storage, please slightly close the cover, do not lock, it will deform the gaskets and affect the machine function.
