B1. 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.
B2. 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.
B3. If you are using pre-cut bags, go directly to step B5 below.
B4. Making bags from MAGIC VAC
®
rolls
- Unroll a bag of suitable length and cut it using the MAGIC Cutter (15) as shown in Fig. E, moving it from
rim to rim. Now you can seal an open side of the cut bag as follows:
- Position either of the two open ends of the bag on the sealing bar (11) with the smooth side up (fig. F).
Warning: be careful not to let the bag hang over into the vacuum chamber (10) or on the sealing
gasket (9).
- Create a vacuum as directed in paragraph A.
B5. Vacuum packing with bags cut from a roll or pre-cut bags
- 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 vacuum
chamber (10) (fig. G).
- Create a vacuum as directed in paragraph A.

remain depressed throughout storage of the vacuum-packed food item. Should this indicator return into
a raised position, it means that there is no longer a vacuum inside the container.
