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
"CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS" 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.
Note: If you are using pre-cut bags, go directly to
step 4 below.
3 Making bags from MAGIC VAC
- Unroll a bag of suitable length and cut it using the
MAGIC Cutter (12) 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 (5) and turn it in the open position.
- Position either of the two open ends of the bag on
the sealing bar (9) with the smooth side up (fig. B).
Warning: be careful not to let the bag hang over into
the vacuum chamber (10) or on the sealing gasket (8).
- Close the lid (5) and push down on the front cor-
ners of the lid with your thumbs, then push the two
vacuum locks (6) into the locked position (fig. C).
- Press the START/STOP/MAN SEAL switch (1). The
appliance will automatically carry out a vacuum
packing cycle (fig. D). Wait until the ON / VACUUM
/ SEAL light goes off (2).
- Press down on the rounded recessed area of the
manual valve (4) to release the lid (fig. E).
- Lift the lid (5) 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)

pre-cut bags
- Lift the lid (5) and turn it in the open position.
- Place food in the bag without creasing it exces-
sively 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
chamber (10) (fig. G).
- Close the lid (5) and push down on the front cor-
ners of the lid with your thumbs, then push the
two vacuum locks (6) into the locked position (fig.

/ SEAL light goes off (2 ).
- Press down on the rounded recessed area of the
manual valve (4) to release the lid (fig. L).
- Lift the lid (5) 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. M)
- You can turn the appliance off at any time by
pressing again the START/STOP/MAN SEAL switch
(1). If necessary, release the vacuum locks (6), by
pressing down on the front corners of the lid with
the palms of your hands.
5 Using the MAN SEAL function (1)
During the automatic packaging cycle, you can
prevent delicate foods from being crushed by the
vacuum by activating the sealing function at the
right moment. To do so, press and hold down the
START/STOP/MAN SEAL switch (1) until the ON/
VACUUM/SEAL red light starts blinking (2). Release
the button and wait until the end of the cycle, when
the ON/VACUUM/SEAL light goes off (2).

6 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 (see fig.
®
N) make vacuum packing easier, because the con-
nection hose can be directly introduced into the
knob central hole (see fig. N).
MAGIC VAC Universal Caps, available in two diam-
®
eters (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.
- Fill the container leaving at least 3 cm of room
between the contents and upper rim and posi-
tion the lid on the container. Turn the knob to the
"VACUUM" position". (fig. N)
- Connect the container lid knob to the air inlet (3)
of the appliance by means of the connection hose
(13). (fig. N)
- Lock the lid (5) by pushing the vacuum locks
(6) and press the START/STOP/MAN SEAL switch
(1); the appliance will automatically carry out a
vacuum packing cycle and turn off on its comple-
tion.
- Remove the hose from the container lid knob.
- Turn the knob to the "CLOSED" position.
- To open the containers turn the knob to the
"OPEN" position, you should hear a hissing of air
as it enters the container. This sound guarantees
that the contents have been packed in a vacuum.
