Operating Instructions; Making Bags From Magic Vac; Rolls - Magic Vac Maxima Betriebsanleitung

Before use, always thoroughly clean your appliance and
any accessories coming in contact with food (contain-
ers, caps, jars etc.) as directed in the "INSTRUCTIONS
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 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 packaged, taking
into account an additional 2 cm for each time the bag will
be subsequently reused.
3 Adjusting the vacuum level
The higher the vacuum level set with the knob (2), the
greater the quantity of air that will be removed from the
MAGIC VAC ® container or bag you are using. This means
a longer storage life for the packaged food. However,
vacuum adjustments are allowed so that you can also
package the most "fragile" foods in MAGIC VAC
that is to say foods that would be crushed by the effect of
outside atmospheric pressure if the vacuum level were
set too high. By setting the value on 1 or 2, i.e. without
creating a vacuum, you can package foods such as pota-
to crisps or lettuce.
4 Adjusting the Sealing Time
In normal conditions, each time you use MAGIC VAC
Maxima you should turn the knob (5) to 7 for the first seal
and to 5 for subsequent sealing operations. If the seal is
not complete, gradually increase the setting until obtai-
ning a smooth and regular wrinkle-free seam across the
mouth of the bag; the characteristic MAGIC VAC
should no longer be visible.
Adjusting the knob to high values (8 and 9) is recommen-
ded when packaging foods that are moist or release
liquids. Low settings should be used for rapid packaging
of fragile foods that do not require a vacuum.

5 Making bags from MAGIC VAC

- Unroll the desired length of material (fig. A), close the
Lid (11), press the bag cutter blade (10) and keeping it
pressed down, start from either side of the bag and
slide it for the necessary distance according to width.
In this way you will cleanly and precisely cut a piece to
the desired size (fig. B).

rolls

- Raise the lid (11) to remove the cut bag and reposition
the roll in the bag compartment (15) (fig. C). Then seal
one open end of the cut bag as directed below: posi-
tion either of the two open ends of the bag on the sea-
ling bar (18) with the smooth side up (fig. D). Warning:
make sure the end of the bag is not inside the vacuum
chamber (17) or on the sealing gasket (14).
- Lower the lid of the appliance completely (11) and turn
the Vacuum knob (2) to the MAX" position.
- Press the ON(I)/OFF(0) switch (8); the green light will
remain lit while the machine is on (fig. E).
- Press on the lower part of both push buttons (3) (Lock
position) (fig. F) with the palm of your hands until the
lever is engaged (you will hear a click). The machine
will carry out a vacuum packing cycle. When the
package is sealed the lever releases automatically.
- Lift the lid (11) and remove the bag.
- If you want to interrupt the vacuum process (e.g. the
bag is not properly positioned) you must turn off the
MAGIC VAC
automatically) and press the two push buttons (3)
(upper part, Unlock position). (fig. G)
- 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. H)

® bags,
bags
- Lift the lid (11) and turn it in the open position.
- Place food in the bag without creasing it excessively
or stretching surfaces. Eliminate any liquids or food

led.
- Place the bag and its contents in front of the appliance
®
and place the open end inside the vacuum chamber
(17) (fig. I).
