9 - Rapid Marinating

Marinating is the best method for flavouring a meat or game dish and tenderizing it. Food is
marinated in just a few minutes when it is vacuum-packed because the vacuum-packing process
opens the pores in the food allowing for greater and faster absorption of the marinade.
Using the exclusive "rapid marinating" function, the machine maintains the vacuum for several
minutes and then releases it, allowing the food to "rest" for 30 seconds. This process is repeated
several times. The pulsating vacuum and rest action allows for a much faster marinating time. When
the rapid marinating cycle is complete, the device will beep to signal that the marinating is finished.
The entire cycle lasts about 14 minutes.
Proceed as follows:
a) To marinate meat, fowl and fish, poke the surface of the food and place it in the square canister
(ACO1073), cover it with the marinade chosen, leaving an air space of about 3 cm from the
upper rim of the canister, and place the cover on the canister.
b) Attach the Side Handles on the lid itself and then turn the knob to the "OPEN" - (M)" position
(fig. U).
Please Note: it is very important that the knob on the container is left
in the "OPEN - (M)" position for the entire marinating cycle.
Please Note: Ensure that the seal on the lid and the rim of the
canister are clean and dry.
c) Using the Connection Tube (16), connect the ACCESSORY PORT (4) on the machine with the
Canister Lid Knob (fig. U1).
d) Close the machine by rotating the Handles (1) to the START position (fig. U2).
e) Press the "marinating" button (2F) (fig. U3 and U4); the corresponding BLUE LED light will turn
on and remain steady during the vacuum phase and flashing during the rest phase. The machine
will turn itself off automatically after the third vacuum phase. The entire cycle lasts about 14
minutes.
f) A beep indicates that the cycle has ended.
g) Detach the tube from the canister first and then from the machine air intake.
Please Note: At the end of the cycle, if you wish to vacuum-pack your marinated food, turn the
knob on the canister to the "CLOSED" position.
h) Then, to end the cycle, press the "cancel" button (2I) or turn the Handles (1) to the OPEN
position.
You can stop the machine at any time by pressing the "cancel" button (2l) or turning the Handles
(1) to the OPEN position; if you wish to repeat the marinating operation you must detach the tube
from the canister and wait for it to refill completely with air. Then, re-attach the tube to the knob
(in the OPEN - M position) on the container, then restart the rapid marinating cycle by pressing the
"marinating" button (2F).
