We recommend you observe the following temperature guideline for storing foods:
Refrigerator: 40°F or below
Freezer: 0°F
Please note
►Once perishable foods have been heated, defrosted or un-refrigerated, consume them
immediately.
►Before vacuum sealing, wash your hands, any utensils and all surfaces that may come in
contact with food.
►Refrigerate or freeze the perishable foods immediatelyafter vacuum sealing them. Do not
leave perishable foods sitting at room temperature.
►The shelf life of dry foods such as nuts, coconut or cereals that have been vacuum
sealed will be extended significantly if they are stored in a cook, dark place. Exposure to
oxygen and warm temperatures will cause high-fat content foods to become rancid.
►Before vacuum sealing some fruit and vegetables such as apples, bananas, potatoes
and other root vegetables, it is best to peel them to extend their shelf lives.
►Some vacuum-sealed fresh vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage can emit
gases. Blanch and frewwze these foods before vacuum sealing to reduce this effect.

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

Caso Vacuum Sealer System VC100 17
Please note
►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.
5.5 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. Keeping your food at 0F 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.

Caso Vacuum Sealer System VC100 18
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
5.6 Opening a sealed bag
Cut the bag straight across with scissors, just inside the seal.
5.7 Resealing store-bought bags
You can reseal many foods in their original store packages (i.e. potato chip bags). Follow
the steps shown in chapter 5.4 Vacuuming and Sealing.
Please note
►The vacuum sealer can’t be used directly for vacuum sealing canning jars.
5.8 Storage
Store the unit in its upright position, out of reach of children.

Caso Vacuum Sealer System VC100 19
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.
