MAGIC VAC ® does not work
• Check that the MAGIC VAC ® is plugged in. Check
the electrical outlet by trying another device in the
same outlet.
• Make sure the power cable and/or plug are not
defective. If so, do not use the machine.
MAGIC VAC ® does not perform the first seal on the
piece of cut roll
• Check that the piece of cut roll is correctly posi-
tioned as described in the paragraph: "Making bags
from MAGIC VAC ® rolls".
MAGIC VAC®does not completely vacuum-pack
the bags
• In order to correctly seal the bags, the open end
must be entirely inside the Vacuum Chamber.
• Make sure the Sealing Bar, the Airtight Gasket and
Sealing Gasket are not dirty. After cleaning, cor-
rectly replace them.
• The MAGIC VAC ® bag may be punctured. To check,
seal the bag with air inside, place it under water and
squeeze. If you see bubbles, there is a leak. Reseal or
use another bag.
MAGIC VAC® does not correctly seal the bag
• If the Sealing Bar overheats and melts the bag, lift
the Cover and allow the Sealing Bar to cool for a few
minutes.
The MAGIC VAC® doesn't maintain its vacuum
after sealing
• Leaks along the seal can be caused by wrinkles,
crumbs, grease or liquids. Open the bag, clean the
upper part of the inside of the bag and remove any
residue from the Sealing Bar before resealing.
• Make sure the bag is not punctured and thus did
not maintain the vacuum. Protect any pointed
edges of the contents in the bag using paper nap-
kins.
MAGIC VAC® does not seal containers
• Using the Connection Tube, connect the lid of the
canister (or Lid Attachment if necessary) with the
Air Intake on the machine.
• Leave adequate space (at least 3 cm) between the
contents and the top of the jar or canister.
• If liquids escape during the vacuum-packing
phase, remember that they must first be refriger-
ated and not at room temperature.
• Make sure that the rim of the jar or canister and
universal lid are not damaged in the sealing zone.
Clean the rim and the lid with a damp cloth and
reseal.
• Make sure the gasket on the canister lid or uni-
versal lid is placed in the correct position and not
damaged.
MAGIC VAC® Executive canisters or MAGIC VAC®
Universal Lids do not maintain their seal
• Make sure the knob on the canister lid is set to
"VACUUM" before vacuum-packing and that it is set
to "CLOSED" after it is complete.
• Check that the O-Ring under the knob on the canis-
ter lid or universal lid is correctly positioned.
