
As far as regards fish, first of all it is necessary to wash it well, eliminate the scales, gut it
and remove the gills, dry it and as for meat, cool it properly before vacuum-packing it. Keep it in
the fridge at a temperature of not more than +3°.

For hard cheeses, such as Parmesan, Pecorino, etc., it is not necessary to undertake any
special procedures, while for soft cheese, in order to avoid them being squashed, it is a good
idea to wrap them in cellophane, or to opt for preserving them in vacuum-pack containers.

For salamis and for salads, if you use vacuum-pack containers, it is not necessary to
undertake any special procedures. If you do wish to pack the product in bags, make sure it is
dry before beginning to pack it.

For sauces, proceed in the following way: once you have prepared them as you usually
do, pack them in glass jars, then pasteurise them in the microwave for 12 minutes at maximum
power. Immerse the container in water and ice to cool the sauce; then vacuum-pack it by putting
it into the special vacuum-pack container.

PREPARATION: USING VACUUM-PACKING BAGS
Open the drawer as far as it will go, signalled by a stoppage CLICK.
Turn the machine on using the ON/OFF switch on the side.
Choose a bag depending on the usage (preservation or cooking), which is adapted to the size of
the product (the product should not occupy more than 2/3 of the volume of the bag).
Open the lid and ensure that the vacuum-chamber is empty and the product to be packed is dry.
When inserting the food into the bag, be careful not to dirty or dampen the internal part near to the
opening in order not to affect the efficacy of the seal.
Position the bag support grill depending on the size of the product, by resting it on the supports in
case of small bags or on the horizontal side in the case of larger bags.
