Bag Guidelines; Canister Guidelines - Grifo CSB100 Manual De Uso

7. - Bag Guidelines

The following instructions apply to vacuum packaging foods and other items with pre-cut bags or roll material. For best results, only
use Vacuum bags and canisters.
Pre-Cut Bags
Select the proper bag size for items being packaged. Pre-cut bags come in Pint, Quart and Gallon sizes. Be sure to allow enough
space, 1"-2", for sealing.
Roll Bags
Before cutting bag to fit item, seal open end of roll by following Seal Now instructions. After end is sealed, measure bag to size of item,
allowing 1"-2" of space and cut roll. Place item in bag and follow Vacuum and Seal instructions.
▪ Package the freshest foods possible. The Vacuum Sealer allows you to maintain the food's freshness up to five times longer than
under normal stored conditions.
▪ delicate foods, moist foods and foods that need to hold their shape require pre-freezing. Foods like meat, berries and bread can be
frozen for up to 24 hours without harm of freezer burn. Once food is hard, it is ready to be vacuum packaged.
▪ If packaging fresh meats without pre-freezing, place a folded paper towel in between the meat and the top of the bag. This will help
absorb moisture.
▪ To vacuum liquids like soups, stews and casseroles, pre-freeze in a dish or ice cube tray. Once frozen, vacuum package, label and
stack in your freezer.
▪ For objects with sharp points or edges (bones, pasta, rice) pad the edges with paper towels to prevent the bag from puncturing.
▪ Vacuum bags are reusable, boilable and microwavable. We do not recommend reusing bags that have been boiled or micro-waved.
Do not reuse bags that have been used to store fresh fish or greasy foods.
▪ Vegetables must be blanched before being packaged. Place in boiling water or microwave until heated through but still crunchy.
Vacuum package as normal.
** Never vacuum package mushrooms or garlic. **
8. - How To Use With Canister
YJS100 is also used for canisters. The knob on the top of the lid controls vacuuming, closes and locks vents inside lid after vacuuming,
and opens the vents to allow air back in the canister and releases the lid to access the contents.
1. Place the items into the canister. Make sure the canister lid is dry and the lid gasket is without any powder or food debris. Also
please allow some space after the items are put into the canister. And then close the lid.
2. Turn the knob to "Vacuum" position.
3. Press the door of the storage room for hose at the machine right side, pull out the hose. Connect the hose to the vacuum port on the
canister lid.
4. Begin "vacuum and seal" packaging process
5. After the vacuum cycle. Remove the hose from the canister and turn the knob to "Lock" position. Store canister in refrigerator.
6. To open vacuum canister, twist knob to "Open" position. With proper care, the canisters may be reused many times.
8.1. - Security Tips
Hot food must be cooled before been vacuum sealed, otherwise it will affect the vacuum effect.
Due to the pressure difference on air, the lid of canisters must be taken off before putting the canister into a microwave oven.
When you put the canister (opened) into the microwave oven, it must be on defreeze mode or normal temperature, 100ºC at maximum.
When you put the canister (opened) into the dishwasher, it must be at a temperature of 100ºC at maximum. Clean the canister lid by
hand NEVER into the dishwasher.
The maximum temperature for freeze is -18ºC, temperatures under -18ºC or over 100ºC will damage the canisters.

9. - Canister Guidelines

▪ Use only canisters designed for vacuum packaging. Other containers can implode under the vacuum pressure of the Vacuum
Sealer.
▪ Cool liquids in refrigerator before vacuum packaging. Hot foods should be cooled before vacuum packaging.
▪ Do not freeze vacuum canister. Suggested lowest temperature is -18º. Too low (lower than -18℃) or too high (higher than 100℃)
temperature will make the canister materials endure lower pressure or melt.
▪ Hand wash canister lid. Do not put in dishwasher and micro-oven. The canister body itself is dishwasher safe and micro-oven safe.
Suggested highest temperature is 100℃.
▪ If liquids are caught in the accessory hose, run warm water through hose. Be sure hose is not attached to accessory port.
▪ Powdered or granulated foods should be covered with a paper towel before vacuuming to prevent food from traveling into the
vacuum mechanism.
▪ Vacuum packaging is not a substitute for canning. Perishable foods still need to be refrigerated or frozen.
