IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
The manufacturer takes every step neces-
sary to ensure utmost product quality and safety.
However, as for all electrical appliances, you
should follow some basic safety rules to avoid cre-
ating a hazard for people, animals and/or property.
• Before using the product for the first time and
periodically during its lifetime, check the power
cord to make sure it is intact; if you observe any
damage do not insert the plug, since the power
cord must be replaced with a special cord avail-
able from your dealer or an authorised service
centre.
• Carefully read the directions before using your
Maxima and keep them handy for

future reference.
• The appliance is not designed for continuous
operation. Do not carry out more than one com-
plete cycle every 2 minutes. In extreme ambient
conditions, an intensive use of the appliance
may trigger the automatic thermal protection
devices. In such a case you must wait until the
appliance cools down enough in order to reset
the safety devices.
• Do not use the appliance on or in proximity to hot
surfaces.
• The casing of this appliance is not protected
again the penetration of liquids.
• Do not draw liquids into the vacuum chamber.
Should this happen, immediately dry the vacuum
chamber.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water and do
not use it if the cord or plug are wet; should they
get wet during use, immediately pull out the plug
wearing dry rubber gloves. Do not remove or
touch the appliance under water until you have
pulled out the plug. Do not use the appliance
after its removal from water (take it immediately
to an authorised service centre or your dealer).
• To avoid burns, do not touch the sealing bar
while using the appliance.
• Never use adapters for power supplies different

Servicing may be performed by authorised per-
sonnel only. Any unauthorised repairs will inval-

• Using MAGIC VAC
®
mt): The vacuum level indicator (vacuum gauge)
is an instrument that measures the difference
between external pressure (ambient pressure)
and the internal vacuum pressure; this means
that given the same internal pressure, the vacu-
um level indicated will depend on the external
pressure. Therefore, if you use MAGIC VAC
Maxima at a certain altitude, the yellow indica-
tor (1) might not become completely green when
the maximum vacuum has been reached: how-
ever, this does not mean that the vacuum level
reached is any lower. Then turn the vacuum
knob (2) counterclockwise until the automatic
sealing process is activated (the yellow indica-
tor lights up).
• The Manufacturer, the Retailer and the Importer
are responsible for safety, reliability and perfor-
mance only if: a) the appliance is used in accor-
dance with the operating instructions; b) the
electrical system of the premises where the
appliance is used is in conformity with current
laws.
