RECOMMENDATIONS

MEAT

Piece of meat, steak, 

ground beef, chicken 

breast, chicken 

drumstick, etc.

 

Meat products should be stored only in the freezer after vacuuming.

 

Meat products should not be vacuumed if stored in the refrigerator.

! For the meat products, it's recommended to freeze them for two hours before 

attempting the vacuum process. After freezing, make sure that the meat solidifies. 

It should be confirmed that there is no blood water before vacuuming the meat 

products. Remove the water on the surface of meat with a paper towel before the 

vacuum process.

SEAFOODS

Sardines, shrimp, 

squid etc.

 

Small fish such as anchovies, sardines and seafoods should be frozen and then 

vacuumed.

 

Vacuuming should not be done if sea foods are to be stored in the refrigerator.

Do not vacuum pack objects with sharp edges, such as fishbone and hard shells.

Sharp-edged objects can cause the bag to rupture and tear. The freezing of the food 

before the vacuuming will preserve the structure of the food and the water content.

GREEN LEAFY 

VEGETABLES

Lettuce, parsley, 

spinach etc.

 

Due to the nature of green leafy vegetables, it is recommended to store without 

vacuuming. In addition, it is recommended to store fresh mushrooms, onions and 

garlic without vacuuming.

OTHER 

VEGETABLES

Peas, broccoli, 

cauliflower, corn, 

green beans, cabbage 

etc.

 

Vegetables should only be stored in the freezer after vacuuming.

 

Vacuuming should not be done if the vegetables are to be stored in refrigerator.

It is recommended to keep the vegetables specified in this section in accordance with 

the blanching instructions in the "Food Storage Table" section of this user manual. For 

vegetables, it is recommended to freeze them for two hours before attempting the 

vacuum process. Once your vegetables have been vacuumed, they should only be

6.   Food Storage Table -  vacuum food bags

All storage times given in the table below are intended to be 

used 

as a guide only

. Storage times of fruits and vegetables 

depend on the quality of the food. Individual cases may vary.
Packaged fruits and vegetables are consumed until 

expiration. 

 

n

Important

The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, 

basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, 

onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes 

and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a 

long period of time. Therefore, add small amounts of spices to 

food to be frozen, or the desired spice should be added after 

the food has thawed 
The storage time of food is dependent on the type of oil 

used. Suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter. 

Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups/

tupperware and other food should be frozen in plastic folios 

or bags.
The table below is a quick guide to show you the most 

efficient way to store the major food groups in your freezer 

compartment.

 

The vacuuming process can be applied.

 

Not suitable for vacuuming. Vacuuming is not
