Thank you for purchasing the DIABLO10 vacuum packaging
unit. With the help of the DIABLO10, you will now be able to
keep food fresher longer in the refrigerator, freezer, and pantry.
The DIABLO10 effectively removes air and extends freshness
up to 5 times longer than normal preservation methods. Also,
the DIABLO10 can be used to preserve and organize
household items like keepsakes, small toys, and easy-to-lose
items. Youwill soon find your DIABLO10 to be so versatile and
convenient, it will never leave your countertop.
The DIABLO10 is a chamber vacuum system, which offers two
distinct advantages over non-chamber, external bag type units.
First, a much higher level of vacuum can be achieved, which
means a longer shelf life for foods that you package. Secondly,
liquids and liquid-rich foods can be effectively vacuum
packaged. Foods like fresh meats, fish, soups, and stews are
no longer a problem to vacuum packaging. Marinated
vegetables and meats are packaged quickly with ease and no
mess.
The DIABLO10 chamber appliance uses a commercial
technology. Simply place the pouch to be sealed inside the
chamber and close thelid. Press “Start” and the sealing process
begins! First, the air is removed from the entire chamber and
vacuum pouch. Once the pre-set vacuum level is achieved, the
pouch is sealed. Upon completion of the sealing cycle, the air
flows back into the chamber. The beep sounds when the
process is complete.
With the DIABLO10, you can easily package a wide variety of
sizes and shapes. Prep and store smaller, individual serving
portions as well as bulk items.The maximum vacuum bagwidth
is 10".

Vacuum Packaging and Food Safety
Vacuum packaging extends the life of foods by removing most of
the air from sealed containers and prevents fresh air escaping from
sealed containers, thereby reducing oxidation. Vacuum packaging
helps preserve flavours and overall quality. It also helps inhibit the
growth of aerobic microorganisms, which can lead to the problems
below under certain conditions:
Mold: It cannot grow in a low-oxygen environment; therefore,
vacuum packaging can virtually eliminate it.
Yeast: Results in fermentation, which can be detected by smell and
taste. Yeastneeds water,sugar, and moderate temperature togrow.
It can also survive with or without air. Slowing the growth of yeast
requires refrigeration while freezing stops it completely.
Bacteria: Cause unpleasant odours, discoloration and/or soft or
slimy texture. Under the right conditions, clostridium botulinum
(organism causing botulism) can grow without air and cannot be
detected by smell or taste. Although it is extremely rare, it can be
very dangerous.
As with any other storage container, it is important to inspect food
for spoilage prior to consumption.

-4-
To preserve foods safely, it is important to maintain low
temperatures. You can significantly reduce the growth of
microorganisms at 39.2°F (4ºC) or below. Freezing at 1.4°F (-17ºC)
will not kill microorganisms, but it will stop them from growing. For
long-term storage, always freeze perishable foods that have been
vacuum packaged.
Please note that vacuum packaging cannot reverse the
deterioration of foods, it can only slow down quality changes. It is
difficult to predict how long foods will retain their top-quality flavour,
appearance, or texture as it depends on the age and condition of
the food on the day it was vacuumed packaged.
Note: Vacuum packaging is not a substitute for refrigeration or
freezing. Any perishable foods that require refrigeration must still be
refrigerated or frozen after being vacuum packaged.
Preparation Instructions
Vegetables need to be blanched before vacuum packaging. This
process stops the enzyme action that is responsible for loss of
flavour, colour, and texture. To blanch vegetables, place them in
boiling water or in the microwave until they are cooked, but still
crisp. Then, immerse the vegetables in cold water to stop the
cooking process. Finally, dry the vegetables on a towel before
vacuum packaging. Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, sprouts,
cabbage, cauliflower, kale, turnips) naturally emit gases during
storage. Therefore, after blanching, they must be stored in the
freezer only.

Getting Started with Vacuum Packaging
If you are working the food processing or food service industry, you probably already know
the advantages of vacuum packaging. It has been used with success for many years as a
safe and cost-effective method for extending shelf life and maintaining the quality of food
products. If vacuum packaging is new to your home or business, you will soon wonder
how you lived without it!
Whether you are a beginner or expert, there are certain basic guidelines that should
always be followed to package foods safe to eat. Neglecting these basic guidelines can
result in food spoilage and, in some cases, illness or death.
Once you familiarize yourself with the DIABLO10 procedures, you will feel at ease using
the chamber machine and enjoy a higher quality stored food.
1. Package fresh foods only. Do not package old or rancid foods. Vacuum packaging
will not improve poor-quality products.
2. Fresh foods (meats, vegetables, cheeses, etc.) should be refrigerated at 34˚F (1°C)
or below, or frozen after vacuum packaging.
3. Vacuum packaging removes a high percentage of air. This slows the growth of
most food-degrading microorganisms such as aerobic bacteria and molds.
However, some forms of bacteria like clostridium botulinum (responsible for
botulism) are anaerobic and grow in the absence ofoxygen.
4. Foods sensitive to botulinum should be refrigerated for a short period of time and
frozen for a longer period. Consume immediately after heating.
5. Vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage will emit gasses when
vacuum sealed. To prepare these foods for vacuum packaging, you must blanch
them first.
6. All perishable foods must be refrigerated or frozen to prevent spoilage.
7. Vacuum packaging is not a substitute for canning.

-11-
Packaging with Vacuum Pouches
With the DIABLO10, you can easily package a wide variety of sizes and shapes. You can
also prep and store smaller individual serving portions as well as bulk items.
1. Food stays fresh 3-5 times longer than conventional storage bags.
2. Several sizes are available to meet your packaging needs.
3. Ideal for hundreds of applications in and out of the kitchen.
4. Safe for freezer, refrigerator, and microwave use. Pouches can also be boiled.
5. Pouch thickness is available in standard 3 mil or heavy duty 4 mil.
6. Pouches are economically priced, giving you a better value.
7. Vegetables must be blanched before vacuum packaging. Place in boiling water or
microwave until heated but still crunchy. Vacuum package asnormal.

or “∨”to adjust the marinate time from 9- 99 minutes according to the actual
need. (One cycle lasts 9 minutes.)
Note: The appliance must be powered ON and lid open to set any time.
5. Fill the pouch and place in the chamber
a. Keep pouches that contain liquids or wet products below the height of the seal
bar.
b. Open the clamp, put the pouch in the chamber, and make sure the opening of
pouch crosses the seal bar and is retained by the clamp.
Note: The entire pouch, including the opening, must remain inside the
chamber.
6. Vacuum and seal

-13-
a. After closing the vacuum lid, the appliance will vacuum and seal automatically.
b. When the vacuum lid is closed, the appliance will automatically enter the
vacuum process and the LED display will start the countdown from the pre-set
value (vacuum time) to 0.
c. When the vacuum is finished, the appliance will seal automatically. The number
on LED display will count down from the pre-set value (Seal Time) to 0.
d. Air is let back into the chamber. You will notice the bag tighten around the
product in the vacuum pouch.
e. When the appliance BEEPS, the cycle is complete.
7. Vacuum and marinate
If the marinate mode is selected and lid is closed, the appliance will automatically
enter the vacuum/marinate mode. One cycle includes a few processes: 1 minute
for vacuuming, 8 minutes for maintaining the vacuum status, and the air returns to
the chamber for the next cycle. When the entire process is finished, the appliance
will make a buzzing sound, prompting you to open the lid and take out the food for
the next making process (if applicable).
8. Inspect the pouch
a. Vacuum: Check the vacuum quality by looking at the pouch and product
tightness. If you notice air pockets, increase the vacuum timeby 5 seconds and
test again. The vacuum time could take up to 60 seconds depending on the
pouch size and volume of product being packaged.
b. Seal: Inspect the pouch seal.
Note: A positive seal will look “clear” upon inspection. If the seal is “spotty
or incomplete”, increase the sealing time by 1 second. If the seal is “white
or milky”, decrease the seal time by 1 second.
9. Restore the default settings
When the appliance is powered on and “OFF” is displayed, press the “SEAL” and
“SET”buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. When the appliance sounds “DE”and
displays “rS”, it means that the default settings were reset successfully.

Food Storage and Safety Information
The DIABLO10 will revolutionize the way you buy and store food. Because vacuum
packaging has the ability to eliminate freezer burns and slow food spoilage, you are now
able to take advantage of buying bulk food without the threat of food waste.
Vacuum packaging with the DIABLO10 removes up to 90% of the air from the package.
This will help keep food fresher up to 5 times longer than normal storage. Dry foods like
pasta, cereals and flour will stay fresh from start to finish. Vacuum packaging also prevents
weevils and other insects from infesting dry goods. Only package the freshest foods
possible.
However, keep in mind that not all foods can be vacuum packaged. Never vacuum
package garlic or fungi like mushrooms. A dangerous chemical reaction occurs when air
is removed, causing these foods to be dangerous if ingested. Vegetables should be
blanched before packaging to kill anyenzymes that may causedeterioration of out-gassing
when vacuumed.
