Warning: DO NOT LEAVE THE LID WITH LOCKS ENGAGED WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT IN USE.
Before use, always thoroughly clean your appliance
and any accessories coming in contact with food (con-
tainers, caps, jars etc.) as directed in the "INSTRUC-
TIONS FOR CLEANING" paragraph.
1 Positioning the appliance
Position the appliance in a dry place on a level surface,
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 correspond-
ing to the voltage of the appliance (see technical
details) N.B.: the indicator light ON (1) does not come
on when the power cord is plugged into the power
socket.
Note: If you are using pre-cut bags, go directly to step
4 below.
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 pack-
aged, taking into account an additional 2 cm for each
time the bag will be subsequently reused.
3 Making bags from MAGIC VAC
- Unroll a bag of suitable length and cut it using the
MAGIC Cutter (14) 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 (4) and turn it in the open position.
- Seal either of the two open ends of the bag by posi-
tioning it on the sealing gasket (10) with the smooth
side facing down (fig. B).
Warning: be careful not to let the bag hang over into
the vacuum chamber (11) or on the sealing gasket (9).
- Close the lid (4) by pushing down on the front cor-
ners of the lid with your thumbs, then push the LOCK
buttons (7) into the locked position (fig. C). The green
ON light turns on and the unit will automatically start
the packing cycle and will stop at the end of the
cycle, when the SEAL red light (2) goes off.
- Press down on the rounded recessed area of the
manual valve (5) to release the lid (fig. D).
- Lift the appliance lid putting the fingers under the
central projecting part 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. E).
4 Vacuum packing with bags cut from a roll or pre-cut
bags
- Lift the lid (4) and turn it in the open position.
- Place food in the bag without creasing it excessive-
ly 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 appli-
ance and place the open end inside the vacuum

5 How to use the MAN SEAL button (3)
Pressing this button causes the SEAL light (2) to go on

you to prevent delicate, fragile foods from being
crushed (e.g. biscuits, etc.) (fig. L).
