The Advantages Of Vacuum Packing - Flama 1905 FL Manual De Instrucciones

The Vacuum Packing System does not create a vacuum
in the containers
• By means of the Connection Hose, connect the container
lid (or the Cap Attachment if necessary) to the Air Inlet of
the appliance.
• Leave enough room (at least 3 cm) between the contents
and the top of the jar or container.
• If liquids come out during the vacuum-packing process,
remember that they must first be chilled in a refrigerator,
not left at room temperature.
• Check that the rim of the jar or container and the universal
lid are not damaged in the sealing area.
Wipe the rim and cap clean with a cloth moistened with
lukewarm water and repeat the vacuum- packing process.
• Make sure that the gasket of the container cap or the
universal cap is set properly in place and is not damaged.
Vacuum packing will revolutionise the way in which you buy
and keep food. By keeping food under vacuum (i.e. without
air), the shelf-life of foods is greatly extended, whether it
is kept in the larder, fridge or freezer. Air can make food rancid
and stale, it can cause it to ferment, dry out, and it may even
cause freezer burns. Vacuum packing keeps your food
fresher and more flavourful for longer.
Now you can pack fresh food bought from the market, or
food picked from your vegetable garden, in handy portions
for future use, even in large quantities. Food bought already
vacuum-packed, like cheese and meat, will retain its flavour
and freshness once opened, without problems of moisture
and mould, if it is vacuum-packed after use in bags and
containers. Meat, fish and vegetables can be frozen without
the risk of frost burns and will keep their freshness and
quality. Foodstuffs like coffee, rice, flour and nuts will last much
longer if they are vacuum packed. Fresh or perishable foods
must in any case be frozen or kept in the fridge.
The original quality of the food must be of the very highest
order, in terms of freshness and environmental hygiene,
when you decide to vacuum pack it.
There are in fact no preservation methods which will
transform a poor product into a good one.

THE ADVANTAGES OF VACUUM PACKING

Executive containers or Universal Caps do not maintain
a vacuum
• Make sure that the arrow on the knob of the container cap
is positioned on "VACUUM" before creating a vacuum in
the container and it is positioned on "CLOSED" after a
vacuum is formed.
• Make sure that the O-ring beneath the knob of the container
cap or the universal cap is set properly in place.
Family containers do not maintain a vacuum
• Make sure that the gasket beneath the central button (14)
of the container cap is set properly in place and is not
damaged.
Always keep your bags and containers handy and you will
quickly appreciate the many advantages and ease of use that
offers when it comes to preserving the quality of food.
Consult the "Food preservation times" chart to see how
vacuum packing can extend the life of any food without in any
way altering or impairing its taste, smell, appearance, hygiene
and nutritional value.
