IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
The manufacturer takes every step nec-
essary to ensure utmost product quality and
safety. However, as for all electrical appliances,
you should follow some basic safety rules to
avoid creating a hazard for people, animals
and/or property.
• Before using the product for the first time and
periodically during its lifetime, check the
power cord to make sure it is intact; if you
observe any damage do not insert the plug,
since the power cord must be replaced with a
special cord available from your dealer or an
authorised service centre.
• Carefully read the directions before using your
MAGIC VAC
®
Maxima

for future reference.
• The appliance is not designed for continuous
operation. Do not carry out more than one
complete cycle every 2 minutes. The operat-
ing cycle is 50 seconds approx and after then
there’s the break until 2 minutes
. In extreme ambient conditions, an intensive
use of the appliance may trigger the automat-
ic thermal protection devices. In such a case
you must wait until the appliance cools down
enough in order to reset the safety devices.
• Do not use the appliance on or in proximity to
hot surfaces.
• The casing of this appliance is not protected
again the penetration of liquids.
• Do not draw liquids into the vacuum chamber.
Should this happen, immediately dry the vacu-
um chamber.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water and do
not use it if the cord or plug are wet; should
they get wet during use, immediately pull out
the plug wearing dry rubber gloves. Do not
remove or touch the appliance under water
until you have pulled out the plug. Do not use
the appliance after its removal from water
(take it immediately to an authorised service
centre or your dealer).
• To avoid burns, do not touch the sealing bar
while using the appliance.

• Never use adapters for power supplies differ-
ent from the one indicated on the bottom of
the unit (plate details).
• Always unplug the appliance after you finish
using it.
• Do not open or tamper with the appliance.
Servicing may be performed by authorised

invalidate the warranty.
• Using MAGIC VAC
®
at high altitudes (above
1500 mt): The vacuum level indicator (vacuum
gauge) is an instrument that measures the dif-
ference between external pressure (ambient
pressure) and the internal vacuum pressure;
this means that given the same internal pres-
sure, the vacuum level indicated will depend
on the external pressure. Therefore, if you use
MAGIC VAC
®
Maxima
at a certain altitude, the
yellow indicator (1) might not become com-
pletely green when the maximum vacuum has
been reached: however, this does not mean
that the vacuum level reached is any lower.
Then turn the vacuum knob (2) counterclock-
wise until the automatic sealing process is
activated (the yellow indicator lights up).
• The Manufacturer, the Retailer and the
Importer are responsible for safety, reliability
