help you get the most out of your new vacuum sealer:
We recommend you observe the following temperature guidelines for storing foods:
Refrigerator: 40°F or below
Freezer: 0°F or below

CASO VC 200 9
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 immediately after 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 cool, 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 freeze these foods before vacuum sealing to reduce this effect.

standard storage methods. Below are just a few of the ways you can use your vacuum
sealer:
Cook in advance then vacuum seal and store individual portions or entire meals.
Prepare foods in advance for picnics, camping trips and barbecues.
Keep frozen food safe from freezer burn.
Package foods, such as meat, fish, poultry, seafood and vegetables for refrigerated
storage.
Maintain the freshness of dry foods, such as beans, nuts, and cereals.
Besides storing food, there are many other uses for vacuum sealing: Protect moisture-
sensitive items such as camping supplies, matches, first aid kits, roadside flares and
clothing. Protect prized collectibles from dust and moisture.

3.5 Disposal of the packaging

disposal.
