USE
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
a.) When removing the machine from the packaging, make sure that all the
components are included and that the machine and its accessories are in
pristine condition.
b.) It is essential that you read the User Manual before first use.
c.) Place the machine on a level smooth surface with enough room for
placing foodstuffs into the bags.
LATCH LOCKING SYSTEM
The system can be set in two positions:
- Lock-free mode is used for automatic vacuum packing function. You need to press in the bottom center part of the lid in the beginning of the vacuum packing process until you notice change in the vacuum bag.
- Locked mode is used with manual vacuum packing function and for sealing the bag when forming bags out of foil rolls. You need to lock the lid by pressing on the right and left corner of the lid before starting the process of vacuum packing/sealing. At the end of those processes, you need to press the buttons to unlock the lid. In order to switch from locked to lock-free mode, press the button and push the latch forward. For switching back to locked mode, push the latch backward
Figure 2 : Latch locking system.
PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE
ATTACH THE STATUS STIKI DOUBLE-SIDED ADHESIVE TAPE
a.) Clean the area where Status Stake tape will be attached with alcohol
or acetone.
b.) Peel off one side of the double-sided tape and attach it to the
cleaned surface. Press firmly to allow for the glue to adhere.
c.) Peel off the upper side of the tape. Stiki is now ready for use.
d.) The vacuum bag attaches to the Stake tape and stays in place
throughout the process of vacuum packing. e.) Removal: When Stake gets dirty
or the bag no longer attaches to it, remove it manually and place a new one
following the procedure described above. The double-sided Status Stake tape
does not leave marks on the machine
Figure 3 : Adhere Status Stake tape next to the Sealing Strip
TURNING FOIL ROLLS INTO BAGS: SEAL BUTTON
Switch the latch locking system to locked mode as described in 2.1.1.
a.) Determine the correct length of the foil by adding some extra
centimeters to the length of the foods you intend to vacuum pack.
b.) Cut the foil with the enclosed blade.
c.) Place the foil over the sealing strip aligning it with the gasket
(see detailed Figure 4). Attach the bag to the Status Stake tape to prevent
movement and creasing of the bag.
d.) Close the lid and lock it by pressing on the right and left corner of
the lid.
e.) Press the Seal button. During the sealing process, the vacuum sealer
is quiet and the Seal light blinks.
f.) The bag is sealed when the light Seal stops blinking. Unlock the
machine by pressing the side buttons.
Figure 4 : When sealing, position the bag over the Sealing Strip all the way to the gasket.
BAG BUTTON: VACUUM PACKING OF SOLID AND DRY FOODSTUFFS (CURED MEAT PRODUCTS, HARD CHEESES, NUTS, AND ALIKE)
Switch the latch locking system to lock-free mode as described in 2.1.1.
a.) Place the foods into a bag. The bag should always be longer than the
length of the foodstuff, which is to be vacuum packed.
b.) Position the open end of the bag into the vacuum channel, between the
sealing gaskets. Stick it to the Status Stake tape to ensure that the bag
remains in the correct place and without creases (see 2.2.1. on how to attach
the Status Stake).
c.) Close the lid and press the Bag button. Press and hold in the lower
middle of the lid until you notice the change in the bag. The light Seal is
on.
d.) When the machine switches to sealing, the pump stops and the light
Seal starts blinking. Vacuum bag is vacuum packed and sealed, when the light
Seal stops blinking.
e.) Lift the lid and detach the bag from the Status Stiki double-sided
adhesive tape.
Recommendation : When vacuum packing greasy cured meat products
(particularly bacon), fold the edges of the bag outwardly before placing the
foodstuff into the bag and then unfold the edges back into place. This will
ensure that the edges do not become greasy.
Figure 5 : During the vacuum packing process, position the open edge of
the bag in the middle of the vacuum channel.
HOW TO ACT IF THE MACHINE STARTS TO DRAW LIQUID WHILE VACUUM PACKING?
If you notice that the machine is drawing liquid, IMMEDIATELY stop the vacuum
packing process by pressing the Stop button. Stop button only stops the vacuum
packing process (the button no longer works when the machine is sealing).
If the vacuum packing process is not stopped in time and the liquid enters the
vacuum channel, the Liquid Trap sensor will stop the vacuum packing process
and the control light Liquid Trap will turn on. Follow this procedure:
a.) Open the lid. Lift the Liquid Trap tray (Item 10 in Figure 1) from
the Vacuum Channel directly upwards.
b.) Pour the liquid out and thoroughly wipe the trayuntil completely dry.
If the liquid made its way under the tray, wipe and dry the channel as well.
Use the hair dryer to make sure the Liquid Trap tray and liquid sensor are
completely dry.
c.) Put the tray back into place and continue with vacuum packing.
Figure 6 : When liquid finds its way into the vacuum channel, lift the
Liquid Trap tray directly upwards, pour the liquid out, wash the tray, and dry
it thoroughly
START / STOP BUTTON: VACUUM PACKING OF DELICATE AND MOIST FOODS (FRESH MEAT, FISH, VEGETABLES, FRUIT, CAKES, SOFT CHEESES)
With manual vacuum packing function you can stop the vacuuming process as soon as you assess that enough air has been removed out of the bag or that further removal of air could damage delicate foods.
Switch the latch locking system to locked mode as described in 2.1.1 and shown in Figure 2.
a.) At the process of manual vacuum packing you should keep in mind that
with soft and moist foods you have to pay extra attention to what is happening
in the bag during vacuum packing.
b.) Place the foods into a bag. The bag should always be longer than the
length of the foodstuff, which is to be vacuum packed.
c.) Position the open end of the bag into the vacuum channel, between the
sealing gaskets. Stick it to the Status Stake tape to ensure that the bag
remains in the correct place and without creases (see 2.2.1. on how to attach
the Status Stake).
d.) Close the lid and lock it by pressing on the bottom right and left
corner of the lid
e.) Remove the air from the bag by pressing Start button and pay
attention to what is happening with the food. If liquid is starting to slip
toward the machine or if further removing of air could damage soft foods,
press the Stop button. The pump stops and sealing is activated (light Seal is
blinking).
f.) When the light Seal stops blinking, the process is finished. Unlock
the lid by pressing the side buttons (Item 7 in Figure 1). Remove the bag by
detaching it from the Status Stake tape.
Figure 7 : While in manual mode, the latch locking system needs to be in
the locked mode.
Recommendation : The simplest way to vacuum pack almost all sorts of fruit and most vegetables, fresh meats, mushrooms and similar, is to keep them in a freezer for a few hours before vacuum packing. This way foods like strawberries will retain their shape completely and there will be no risk of liquid seeping into the vacuum channel.
CONTAINER BUTTON: VACUUM SEALING STATUS’ VACUUM CONTAINERS, LIDS, AND JUG
A tube with an attachment for the vacuum sealing of Status vacuum accessories (containers, lids and jug) is included in the set
a.) Connect the aperture of the tube to the attachment located on the
extreme right edge of the vacuum channel (Item 11 in Figure 1).
b.) Place and hold the other end of the attachment on the top of the
valve of the chosen vacuum container (see Figure 8).
c.) Press the button Container. Once the pre-set negative pressure is
achieved inside the container, the process ends automatically.
When storing liquid foodstuffs (soups, sauces, and similar) in vacuum containers, do not fill them to the top. Leave at least 1.5 cm space between the surface of the liquid and the lid.
Figure 8 : Vacuum sealing vacuum containers
VACUUM PACKING DIFFERENT TYPES OF FOOD
Vacuum packing is not a substitute for freezing or canning. Vacuum-packed foods still need to be stored in the refrigerator or freezer or in a cool place (e.g. dried meat products in a cellar)
Soups, sauces and liquids should either be pre-frozen before packing in a vacuum bag or vacuum packed in a vacuum contained
Boiled meat, raw meat and fish : For the best results, we recommend you
to pre-freeze meat and fish for 1-2 hours prior to vacuum packing to ensure
the retention of juices and shape, and to help guarantee a good seal. If pre-
freezing is not possible, place a folded paper towel between the meat and the
top of the bag, avoiding the area to be sealed. Leave the paper towel in the
bag when vacuum packing to absorb excess moisture and juices.
Note : Beef may appear darker after vacuum packing due to the removal of
oxygen. However, this does not affect its quality.
Vegetables : Vegetables should be blanched before freezing. The process of blanching stops the enzyme action and preserves flavor, color and texture. 1 to 2 minutes in boiling water is enough for fresh leafy vegetables or beans. For chopped zucchini or broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables allow 3 to 4 minutes, for carrots allow 5 minutes. After blanching, submerge the vegetables in cold water to stop the process then dry them with a paper towel prior to vacuum packing. We recommend you to store leafy vegetables in vacuum containers with drip trays. This way, spinach and lettuce will stay fresh up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
Herbs : Herbs containing a high level of essential oils, such as sage, thyme, rosemary or peppermint are not suitable for vacuum packing only for drying. Basil, tarragon, garden dill, parsley, and chive should be frozen. If dried, they lose too much flavor
Mushrooms, raw garlic and raw potatoes : We strongly recommend the manual – pulse vacuum packing function. Refer to books about mushrooms for information about correct preparation (if blanching is needed or not). Clean them using a brush, chop them and then store them in single use portions. We recommend that you put them in the freezer for an hour before vacuum packing. Do not thaw the mushrooms before cooking them. Boil frozen mushrooms in hot salty water or add them directly to sauces or soups.
Coffee : If you want to properly vacuum pack coffee or other ground food, leave the items in their original packaging and place them into the Status vacuum bag. If you do not have the original packaging, use a regular bag and insert it in the vacuum bag. This way you can prevent grains from being sucked into the machine
Thawing vacuum packed foods : Foods should always be thawed in the refrigerator to preserve quality.
BENEFITS OF VACUUM PACKING
WHAT IS VACUUM?
Oxygen provokes chemical changes on the food and as a consequence grease can go rancid, color of the food changes, mold and bacteria multiply, flavor, vitamins aroma and minerals are lost. Vacuum packing dramatically slows down such undesired effects, prolongs the shelf life of food and preserves its quality
WHAT IS FREEZER BURN?
Signs of freezer burn are rancid meat, rotten vegetables and tasteless fruit. Freezer burn appears when the packaging is permeable to air (common one-ply PE bags) and frozen food is exposed to oxygen. Consequently, water evaporates and the surface of the frozen food dries out. Oxygen penetrates through the porous cracks and initiates oxidation. Therefore, food loses its aroma and fresh taste. You can recognize freezer burn by the white and dun stains on the food
DEEP FROZEN OR CHILLED
The advantage of storing deep frozen food is in preserving its essence – vitamins, minerals and taste. Besides, at temperatures between -30 °C and -40 °C the texture of raw food changes only to a minimum extent (e.g. meat). Food should be frozen as quickly as possible, because if you freeze it slowly, big ice crystals form on the surface. They overgrow food cells and subsequently damage their structure. When you freeze food quickly, small ice crystals form and they do not damage the food to such an extent. If possible, freeze food at a constant temperature (–18 °C at the most). Some foods have to be blanched (scalded) in order to avoid unwanted changes during freezing or deeply refrigerating (enzyme activation, ceased germination). Blanched or in any other way heat-treated foods must be chilled before freezing. To ensure better quality of stored fruit, use sugar as additive. This also preserves the aroma and the colors. Foods should be kept as close together as possible in the freezer.
THAWING AND REFREEZING
Thawing should be a slow (the most suitable way of thawing is in the
refrigerator) and natural process. It should not be forced (as thawing in hot
water or in the microwave). Once the food is defrosted, it should not be
refrozen. When refreezing, mechanical damages occur and food can perish more
quickly. Taste, color and aroma are decomposed. Microorganisms (bacteria,
mold) multiply much faster. These consequences cannot be eliminated by
refreezing. It is therefore recommended that once the foods are thawed, they
should be used as soon as possible.
SOUS VIDE COOKING
Cooking Sous Vide is a cooking technique where food is cooked in vacuum-packed bags immersed in hot water. The Sous Vide technique provides a superior flavor of your home-cooked food, where foods optimally retain their natural taste, color and texture. Food for Sous Vide cooking can be seasoned before vacuum packing. The best Sous Vide vacuum bags on the market are the ones that have the perfect combination of materials (airtight Polyamide and food-grade Polyethylene) and where the thickness of materials is just right. Status’ bags perfectly fulfil both of these characteristics.
SAILING, CAMPING AND PICNICKING
Vacuum packing is also suitable for picnics, sailing, and camping. Food, equipment and documents will stay dry and protected. Batteries, mobile phones and cameras can also be vacuum packed to stay protected. Vacuum packing prevents mixing of odors and keeps food from perishing due to moisture, which is particularly important in small spaces.
WHY USE STATUS’ BAGS AND FOIL ROLLS?
Status vacuum bags are impermeable, food safe, neutral in taste and smell, reusable, BPA free and suitable for Sous Vide cooking. The foodstuffs stored in them will remain the same at least half a year after vacuum packing.
The quality of the vacuum bag is determined by the thickness of the foil, the combination of materials and the height of the ribbed profile.
The thickness of the bag: Status’ bags are characterized by a 100 μm thick smooth foil and a 120 μm thick ribbed foil. Their embossed crisscross pattern helps that the air is removed more effectively during the vacuum sealing process.
The combination of materials: Status’ bags are made of Polyamide and Polyethylene each of which has its function in quality vacuum packing. Polyamide in the outer layer of the foil guarantees impermeability of the oxygen which guarantees quality stored food. Compared to competing brands, Status’ bags and foils boast the thickest layer of polyamide (20 μm) which makes them the most quality option for storing food.
The height of the ribbed profile: Status’ bags feature at least 0.2 mm high ribbed layer which ensures a uniform process of sealing throughout all cycles. Thinner bags can be vacuum sealed well during the initial cycles but later even the quality vacuum sealers cannot generate enough negative pressure.
Status bags and foil rolls are compatible with all brands of vacuum packing machines.
