The MAGIC VAC
®
does not create a complete vacuum in the bags
• To seal the bag properly, you must make sure that the open end remains completely inside the Vacuum
Chamber.
• Make sure that the Sealing Bar, the Sealing Gaskets and Airtight Gaskets are free of impurities. After cleaning
them, put them properly back in place.
• The MAGIC VAC
®
bag might have a hole in it. To check it, seal the bag with air on the inside. Dip the bag in
water and apply pressure. The appearance of bubbles means that there is a leak.
Reseal or use another bag.

• If the Sealing Bar overheats and melts the bag, you may have to raise the Lid and allow the Sealing Bar to
cool down for a few minutes.

• Leaks along the seam may be caused by creases, crumbs, grease or liquids. Reopen the bag, clean the upper
inside part of the bag and remove any foreign material from the Sealing Bar before resealing it.
• Check that the bag has no holes in it which have caused air to leak in. Use paper napkins to protect any sharp
edges on the contents of the bag.
The MAGIC VAC
®
does not create a vacuum in the containers
• By means of the Connection Hose, connect the container lid (or the Cap Attachment if necessary) to the Air
Inlet of the appliance.
• Leave enough room (at least 3 cm) between the contents and the top of the jar or container.
• If liquids come out during the vacuum-packing process, remember that they must first be chilled in a refrig-
erator, not left at room temperature.
• Check that the rim of the jar or container and the universal lid are not damaged in the sealing area. Wipe the
rim and cap clean with a cloth moistened with lukewarm water and repeat the vacuum-packing process.
• Make sure that the gasket of the container cap or the universal cap is set properly in place and is not dam-
aged.
