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
"INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING" 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.
3 On/off switch
Press the switch (1) (fig. A) and the green ON light (2)
will go on.
Note: If you are using pre-cut bags, go directly to step
5 below.
4 Making bags from MAGIC VAC
- Unroll a bag of suitable length and cut it using the
MAGIC Cutter (18) as shown in Fig. B, moving it from
rim to rim. Now you can seal an open side of the cut
bag as follows:
- Lift the lid (7) and turn it in the open position.
- Seal either of the two open ends of the bag by posi-
tioning it on the sealing bar (14) with the smooth side
up (fig. C).
Warning: be careful not to let the bag hang over into
the vacuum chamber (13) or on the sealing gasket
(12).
- Close the lid (7) and push down on the front corners
of the lid with your thumbs, then push the LOCK
buttons (10) into the locked position (fig. D). The
appliance will carry out a vacuum packing cycle.
Wait until the SEAL MIN (6a) or the SEAL MAX light
(6b) goes off.
- Press down on the rounded recessed area of the
manual valve (8) to release the lid (fig. E).
- Lift the lid (7) 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)
5 Vacuum packing with bags cut from a roll or pre-
cut bags
- Lift the lid (7) 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 (13) (fig. G).
- Close the lid (7) and push down on the front corners
of the lid with your thumbs, then push the LOCK
buttons (10) into the locked position (fig. H). The
appliance will carry out a vacuum packing cycle.
Wait until the SEAL MIN light (6a) or the SEAL MAX
light (6b) goes off.
- Press down on the rounded recessed area of the
manual valve (8) to release the lid (fig. I).
- Lift the lid (7) 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. L)
- The appliance can be stopped at any time by pres-
sing down the manual valve (8). The appliance stops
only when the lid is raised.
6 How to use the MAN VAC button (4)
Pressing this button when the VACUUM light (3) turns
yellow enables you to obtain a higher vacuum than the
one set for the automatic cycle. The pump will conti-
nue drawing out air as long as the MAN VAC button
(4) is pressed (fig. M). When you release the button
the appliance automatically starts sealing for the time
previously set with the SEAL TIME button (6).
7 How to use the MAN SEAL button (5)
Pressing this button, causes the SEAL MIN light (6a)
or the SEAL MAX light (6b) to go on and the sealing
process starts immediately. This allows you to prevent
delicate, fragile foods from being crushed (e.g. biscu-
its, etc.) (fig. N).
8 Setting the sealing time (6)
The factory set sealing time is MIN. If the bag is not
completely sealed, change the sealing time by means
of the TIME SEAL button (6) (fig. O); refer to the control
description on page 14.
The sealing time must be adjusted before starting the
vacuum packing cycle. The manually selected sealing
time is cancelled when you unplug the unit or put the
switch (1) into the OFF position.

9 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 (fig. P)
make vacuum packing easier, because the connection
hose can be directly introduced into the knob central
hole (fig. Q).
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.
