7 Vacuum packing in Executive containers or in containers sealed with Universal Caps
ATTENTION: Only use MAGIC VAC® canisters since they are resistant to the vacuum created by the Mod. P0519ED,
while other types of canisters could implode due to the vacuum created by the machine and cause injury.
Executive containers and the Universal Caps with star-shaped knob (see fig. L) make vacuum packing easier,
because the connection hose can be directly introduced into the knob central hole.
Universal Caps, available in two diameters (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 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. Place the lid on the
container and turn the knob to the "VACUUM" position (fig. L).
- Connect the container lid knob to the appliance air inlet (15) by means of the connection hose (fig. L).
- Press the VAC button (4) and the machine will create vacuum and switch off when the operation has been
completed.
- Remove the hose from the container lid knob.
- Turn the knob to the "CLOSED" position.

container. This sound guarantees that the contents have been packed in a vacuum.
