appliance.
• Make sure the bag cut from the roll is properly positioned as described in the paragraph:
"5 - Making bags from MAGIC VAC rolls
• Make sure that the sealing gasket is intact and in the correct position
• 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 and the Airtight and Sealing 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 the bag, seal it with air inside, place it

increase the sealing time.
• 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

chilled in a refrigerator.

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 damaged.
• Make sure that the arrow on the knob of the container cap is positioned on "VACUUM"
before creating a vacuum in the container and it is positioned on "CLOSED" after a vacuum
is formed.
• Make sure that the O-ring beneath the knob of the container cap or the universal cap is set
properly in place.
• Check that the rim of the jar or container and the universal cap are not damaged in the
sealing area. Wipe the rim and cap clean with a cloth moistened with lukewarm water and
repeat the vacuum-forming process.
