Bag Guidelines; How To Use With Canister - Excalibur EPV12 Manual Del Usuario

BAG GUIDELINES

• 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 microwaved. 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.** A dangerous chemical reaction takes
place when air is removed, causing these foods to be dangerous if ingested.

HOW TO USE WITH CANISTER

HOW TO USE WITH CANISTER
Vacuum sealer 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 allow some space after the items are put into the
canister. Then close the lid.
2. Turn the knob to "Vacuum" position.
3. Connect the hose to the Accessory Port on the machine and the Port on the canister lid.
4. Press the two ends of the machine lid with some strength, the lid is locked when you hear
a "da" sound.
5. Press "Vacuum & Seal" button, slightly press the canister lid for 3-5 seconds. The machine
will start the vacuum process.

canister and turn the knob to "Lock" position. Store canister in refrigerator.
