MAGIC VAC
Commercial Quality Vacuum Sealer
MAGIC VAC™ LOSES VACUUM AFTER BEING SEALED
I
Leaks along the seal can be caused by wrinkles, crumbs, grease or
liquids. Reopen bag, wipe the top inside of the bag and smooth it
out along the sealing strip before resealing.
I
The release of natural gases or fermentation from foods (such as
fresh fruits and vegetables) may occur. Open bag if you think food
has begun to spoil and discard food. Lack of refrigeration or fluctu-
ating temperatures in the refrigerator can cause food to spoil. If
food is not spoiled, consume food immediately.
I
Check the bag for a puncture or hole which may have released the
vacuum. Cushion sharp edges in the contents of the bag with paper
towels.
MAGIC VAC™ NOT SEALING BAG PROPERLY
I
Should Sealing Bar overheat and melt the bag, it may be necessary
to lift the Lid and allow the Seal Bar to cool for a few minutes.
I
Built-in safety shut-off may shut the machine off if it becomes
overheated. Allow Magic Vac™ to cool down for 15 minutes and
try again.
