Food Storage Information
Storage time will vary depending on the freshness of foods that are being
vacuumed packaged. The fresher the foods the longer the storage time will be.
The main element that causes food to lose its nutritional value, texture, flavor, and
overall quality is oxygen. Vacuum packaging helps to extend the life of foods by
removing most of the oxygen in a sealed bag or container. Removing oxygen from
stored foods helps to inhibit the growth of micro-organisms. There are three main
types of micro-organisms that effect stored foods. They are mould, yeast and
bacteria.
•Mould: Easy to identify due to its characteristics fuzz. Moulds cannot grow in
vacuum packaging because of the low oxygen environment. Therefore,
vacuum packaging eliminates mould.
• Yeast: Yeast is the fermentation of foods. It can be identified by smell or
taste. Yeast requires sugar and a moderate temperature to grow and it can
grow with or without air. Refrigeration will slow the growth of yeast and
freezing stops it completely.
• Bacteria: Bacteria can grow with or without air. Bacteria results in
discoloration, soft or slimy texture and an unpleasant smell. The best way
to combat bacteria is to both vacuum pack and freeze foods.
Storing foods at low temperatures is critical for preserving foods safely. Growth of
micro-organisms is reduced at temperatures below 4° C. Storing foods at -17°C
will not kill micro-organisms but it will stop them from growing. For the best results
freeze perishable foods that have been vacuumed sealed.
Food Storage Information
Thawing and heating vacuumed packages foods
Always thaw frozen foods in the refrigerator or microwave. Do not leave foods to
thaw at room temperature. When microwaving a vacuumed packaged food cut a
corner of the bag and place on a microwave safe tray.
You can reheat foods in a vacuum sealed bag by placing in water at a low simmer

Tips for Vacuum Packaging
P/9
Vacuum Packaging Meat & Fish
For the best results when vacuum packaging meats and fish, pre-freeze for
1-2 hours before vacuum packaging in bag. This helps meats to retain their shape
and prevents any liquids form overflowing into vacuum sealer.
Vacuum Packaging Cheese
To keep cheese fresh you can vacuum pack after each use. Make the bag extra
long when sealing for the first time. Cut sealed edge when you’re ready to use
cheese. To re-package simply place the cheese back in to the bag and re
vacuum seal.
Vacuum Packaging Vegetables
Vegetables need to be blanched before vacuum packaging. This stops enzymes
from effecting the flavor, colour and texture of the vegetable. To blanch vegetables,
place in boiling water for approximately 1 minute. After blanching place the
vegetable in to iced cold water to stop the cooking process. Then dry vegetables
on paper towel before vacuum packaging.
Note: Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and
cauliflowers naturally emit gases during storage. Therefore, after blanching and
vacuum packaging they must be stored in freezer only. Mushrooms and garlic
should not be vacuumed packed.
Vacuum Packaging Fruits
Fruits can be vacuumed sealed whole or sliced. For longer lasting storage place
fruits in freezer.
Vacuum Packaging Coffee or Powdery Foods
To prevent food particles from being drawn into vacuum pump place a coffee fliter
or piece of paper towel at the top of bag before vacuum packaging. You can also
place the food in its original bag inside a vacuum sealer bag.
Vacuum Packaging Liquids
Before vacuum packaging liquids such as stock, pre-freeze in a ice cube tray until
frozen. Place frozen cubes into vacuum sealer bag. When ready to use place
frozen cube straight in to dish being prepared

P/10
Tips for Vacuum Packaging Non-Food Items
The Luvelo supreme Vacuum Sealer can also be used to protect non-food items
from corrosion, oxidation and moisture. The same process can be used to vacuum
seal non-food items as food items.
Vacuum Packaging Silverware & Cutlery
When vacuum packaging silverware and cutlery make sure all sharp edges are
covered with a cushioning material such as paper towel to avoid puncturing bag.
Vacuum Packaging First Aid Kits
Vacuum packaging first aids kits to store in your home, boat or car is a great way
to keep items dry and free from dirt and mould. Also consider vacuum sealing
flares, batteries, flashlight, candles and matches.
Vacuum Packaging for Outdoor Activities
When campling vacuum packing your clothes can save space in your bag and
keep dry at the same time. Also, vacuum seal your maps, matches and snacks.
Vacuum Packaging paint brushes
When painting around the home you can vacuum package your wet paint brushes
between coats rather that washing. This is particularly useful for oil based paints
that require mineral turpentine to clean.
Vacuum Packaging Ice
You can vacuum package ice to use as an icepack for picnics and other outdoor
activities. When the ice melts you then have fresh drinking water or refreeze to use
again as an icepack
Tips for Vacuum Packaging
Vacuum Packaging for Marinating
Vacuum sealing opens the pores in foods such as meats, poultry and seafood
absorbing marinades much aster that traditional methods. When vacuum sealing
marinades do not overfill bag. This will ensure that liquid does not enter the
vacuum chamber.
Re-sealing Chip Packets
You can utilise the seal strip to re-seal packaging that has already undergone a
commercial quality seal.This allows half consumed packets of chips, crackers and
cereals to be resealed by placing on sealing strip. When resealing, ensure that the
bag does not reach into the vacuum chamber, as it will crush delicate items. Use
this method to reseal suitable packets only.

Troubleshooting
P/11
Nothing happens when I try to vacuum package
• Check power cord to see if it is firmly plugged into electrical outlet.
• Examine power cord for any damage.
• See if electrical outlet is functioning by plugging in another appliance.
• If your appliance has a mode switch, make sure it is set to the correct mode.
Refer to the above
operating instructions
• Make sure bag is placed correctly inside Vacuum chamber and beneath the
air intake.
Air is not removed from the bag completely
• To seal properly the open end of the bag should be resting entirely inside
the vacuum chamber area.
• Check sealing strip and the foam gasket beneath the lid for debris and
position. Make sure there is no breaking or distortion of the foam seal
gaskets on both the cover and on the base of the vacuum chamber. Wipe
clean and smooth them back into place.
• Vacuum bag may have a leak. To test, seal the bag with some air in it,
submerge in water, and apply pressure. Bubbles indicate a leak. Reseal or
use another bag.
• Use only the specified vacuum bag with vacuum channels provided by the
manufacturer.
• Leaks along the seal can be caused by wrinkles, debris crumbs, grease or
liquids. Reopen bag, wipe the top inside of the bag and smooth it out along
the sealing strip before resealing.
• There is a vacuum pressure sensor built in this machine. The machine will
not turn to seal automatically if the vacuum pressure inside the bag is not
able to reach the predetermined vacuum pressure. Check sealing strip and
the foam gasket beneath the lid for debris and correct position. Wipe clean
and smooth them back into place, and try again.
The bag melts
• Should sealing strip or sealing element be overheat and melt the bag, it may
be necessary to lift the lid and allow sealing strip or heating element to cool
for a few minutes.

Air has re-entered into the bag after being sealed
• Leaks along the seal can be caused by wrinkles, debris crumbs, grease or
liquids. Reopen bag, wipe the top inside of the bag and smooth it out along
the sealing strip before resealing.
• The release of natural gases or fermentation from foods such as fresh fruits
and vegetables may occur. Most vegetables require blanching prior to
vacuum packaging. See page 9 for further instructions.
• Open bag if you think food has begun to spoil, and discard food. Lack of
refrigerator or fluctuating temperatures in the refrigerator can cause food to
spoil. If food is not spoiled then consume food immediately.
• Check the bag for a puncture or hole which may have released the vacuum.
Do not vacuum package hard items with sharp points like bones or shell.
Cushion sharp edges in the contents of the bag with paper towels.
Troubleshooting
Vacuum Sealing moist or liquid items
Many troubles faced when vacuum sealing are from trying to seal moist or liquid
items. Moist items are more difficult to vacuum seal because the moisture in the
items naturally wants to get sucked towards the seal area where the vacuuming is
taking place. If the moisture reaches the seal area the vacuum sealer will
automatically start to seal the item. This can happen while there is still air in the
bag and can give the appearance that the vacuum sealer is not working correctly.
Following are some tips to overcome this:
• If attempting to seal moist meats like fish and chicken, it is recommended
that you cut you vacuum bag with extra length, so there is room for the
moisture to move during the vacuuming process and so the moisture does
not reach the seal area. 15cm should be enough length from the end of the
meat item to the seal area.
• Another solution to sealing high moisture items is to wrap them in plastic
wrap then place them in the vacuum bag to be vacuum sealed. This should
prevent most of the liquid being sucked towards the seal area.
• If placing large moist items in a bag like a whole fish, it is very important you
do not leave any moisture near the seal area. Once you have placed this
type of item in the bag use some dry paper towel to wipe down the seal area
for a successful outcome.
• Liquid items like soups, stocks, gravy etc should all be frozen before
attempting to seal.
