14 INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HINTS & TIPS
NOTE:
Vacuum sealing may cause meat to darken. This is due to the
removal of oxygen and does not indicate spoilage.
• Pro-line Vacuum Sealer’s can also protect non-food items from
oxidation, corrosion and moisture. Simply store and seal items in a
Pro-line vacuum bag and follow the “Storing food in a vacuum bag”
instructions.
• Vacuum seal items to help keep them dry, and take up less room for
storage e.g. camping, batt eries, important documents, travelling and
emergency equipment.
• Vacuum seal wet paint brushes between paint jobs without cleaning,
it keeps them moist and saves on clean up time.
• The marinate bowl is a great solution for marinating meats in
minutes, not hours, as vacuum sealing opens the pores in foods
such as meat, poultry and seafood’s allowing foods to absorb
marinades in a fraction of the time.
• For the busy family, on-the-go meals can be prepared ahead and
vacuum sealed in individual servings, ready to heat any time.
• Prepare foods in advance for picnics and camping trips or
barbecues.
• To make an ice pack, pour water into a bag, allowing at least 8cm of
space at the top of the bag (this allows space for expansion of liquid
when frozen and sealing space for the bag). Do not seal at this point.
Place the fi lled liquid bag upright into a freezer, when liquid is frozen,
remove bag from freezer and vacuum seal. Use for ice in the cooler,
or ice packs for sports injuries.
• Primarily the vacuum sealer is used for vacuum sealing, however you
are able to reseal foil based bags such as chip and biscuit bags using
the manual seal function.
