Recommended Settings
When stored correctly, vacuum-sealed food stays fresh
longer. At higher vacuum-sealing levels, the quality,
appearance, and ingredients of the food are better
preserved.
The following table provides you with recommendations
for the vacuum-sealing levels for different foods. Observe
the specific information on the recommended vacuum-
sealing levels as well as on preparing the food.
Notes
Only use fresh food. Check the quality of the food
before vacuum-sealing it.
Only vacuum-seal cold food – within a temperature
range of 34 – 46 °F (1 – 8 °C) is best.
Start at the lowest of the recommended vacuum-
sealing levels.
Check the quality of the food after you remove it from
storage. Do not use any food that is of questionable
quality.
