WARNING: DO NOT LEAVE THE LID WITH LOCKS ENGAGED WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT IN USE.
Before use, always thoroughly clean your appli-
ance and any accessories coming in contact with
food (containers, caps, jars etc.) as directed in the
"CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS" paragraph.
1 Positioning the appliance
Position the appliance in a dry place on a level sur-
face, making sure that the work area in front of the
appliance itself is clear of obstacles and there is
enough room to accommodate the bags with the food
to be packed. Plug the power cord into a power socket
corresponding to the voltage of the appliance (see
technical details).
2 Tips on using bags

MAGIC VAC

bags are available in two widths: 20 and
®
30 cm. Choose the bag size suited for the food you
intend to preserve. Check that the bag you are going to
use is at least 8 cm longer than the food to be packa-
ged, taking into account an additional 2 cm for each
time the bag will be subsequently reused.
Note: If you are using pre-cut bags, go directly to step
4 below.
3 Making bags from MAGIC VAC
- Unroll a bag of suitable length and cut it using the
MAGIC Cutter (12) as shown in Fig. A, moving it from
rim to rim. Now you can seal an open side of the cut
bag as follows:
- Lift the lid (5) and turn it in the open position.
- Position either of the two open ends of the bag on
the sealing bar (9) with the smooth side up (fig. B).
Warning: be careful not to let the bag hang over into
the vacuum chamber (10) or on the sealing gasket (8).
- Close the lid (5) and push down on the front corners
of the lid with your thumbs, then push the two vacu-
um locks (6) into the locked position (fig. C).
- Press the START/STOP/MAN SEAL switch (1). The
appliance will automatically carry out a vacuum
packing cycle (fig. D). Wait until the ON / VACUUM /
SEAL light goes off (2).
- Press down on the rounded recessed area of the
manual valve (4) to release the lid (fig. E).
- Lift the lid (5) and remove the bag.
- Check the quality of the seal obtained, which should
appear as a regular, wrinkle-free crosswise strip
with no internal ridges in the bag. (fig. F)
4 Vacuum packing with bags cut from a roll or pre-
cut bags
- Lift the lid (5) and turn it in the open position.
- Place food in the bag without creasing it excessively
or stretching surfaces. Eliminate any liquids or food
residues from the area inside the bag that will be
sealed.
- Place the bag and its contents in front of the
appliance and place the open end inside the vacu-
um chamber (10) (fig. G).
- Close the lid (5) and push down on the front corners
of the lid with your thumbs, then push the two vacu-
um locks (6) into the locked position (fig. H).

6 Vacuum packing in MAGIC VAC

tainers or in containers sealed with MAGIC VAC
Universal Caps with new knob
The MAGIC VAC ® Executive containers and the MAGIC
VAC ® Universal Caps with star-shaped knob (see fig. N)
make vacuum packing easier, because the connection
hose can be directly introduced into the knob central
hole (see fig. O).
MAGIC VAC Universal Caps, available in two diame-
®
ters (100 mm and 125 mm), are to be used on jars for
preserving food and bowls and receptacles made of
tempered glass. The Universal Caps work just like the
Caps for MAGIC VAC ® Executive containers.
WARNING: When using Universal Caps do not use
plastic or glass containers that are not suitable since
they could implode under the vacuum pressure of the
appliance and cause injury.
- Fill the container leaving at least 3 cm of room
between the contents and upper rim and position
the lid on the container. Turn the knob to the
"VACUUM" position". (fig. N)
- Connect the container lid knob to the air inlet (3) of
the appliance by means of the connection hose (13).
(fig. O)
- Lock the lid (5) by pushing the vacuum locks (6) and
press the START/STOP/MAN SEAL switch (1); the
appliance will automatically carry out a vacuum
packing cycle and turn off on its completion.
