SOLIS RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

We at Solis are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition, we ask that you exercise a degree of

care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions:

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

The manufacturer takes every step necessary 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 appliance for the first time, and periodically throughout its life, check the power supply cord for any damage; if you detect any damage, do not plug it in. Take the appliance immediately to an authorised service centre or your dealer.
- Carefully read the directions before using your MAGIC VAC® Exclusive and keep them handy for future reference.
- The appliance is not designed for continuous operation. Do not carry out more than one complete cycle every 2 minutes. In extreme ambient conditions, an intensive use of the appliance may trigger the automatic 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 against the penetration of liquids.
- Do not draw liquids into the vacuum chamber. Should this happen, immediately dry the vacuum 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 different 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 personnel only. Any unauthorised repairs will invalidate the warranty.
• The Manufacturer, the Retailer and the Importer are responsible for safety, reliability and performance only if:

a) the appliance is used in accordance with the operating instructions;
b) the electrical system of the premises where the appliance is used is in conformity with current laws.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Warning: Do not store the machine with the LOCK buttons engaged

Before use, always thoroughly clean your appliance and any accessories coming in contact with food (containers, caps, jars etc.) as directed in the "INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING" paragraph.

1. Positioning the appliance

Position the appliance in a dry place on a level surface, making sure that the work area in front of the appliance itself is clear of obstacles and there is enough room to accommodate the bags with the food to be packed. Plug the power cord into a power socket corresponding to the voltage of the appliance (see technical details).

2. Tips on using bags

MAGIC VAC® bags are available in two widths: 20 and 30~cm . Choose the bag size suited for the food you intend to preserve. Check that the bag you are going to use is at least 8cm longer than the food to be packaged, taking into account an additional 2cm for each time the bag will be subsequently reused.

3. On/off switch

Press the switch (1) (fig. A) and the green ON light (2) will go on.

Note: If you are using pre-cut bags, go directly to step 5 below.

4. Making bags from MAGIC VAC rolls

• Unroll a bag of suitable length (fig. B) and close the roll compartment lid (7). Press the bag cutter blade (11) starting from either side of the bag and slide it for the necessary distance according to width. In this way you will cleanly and precisely cut a piece (fig. C). Now you can seal an open side of the cut bag as follows:
• Lift the lid (8) and turn it in the open position.
• Seal either of the two open ends of the bag by positioning it on the sealing bar (16) with the smooth side up (fig. D).

Warning: be careful not to let the bag hang over into the vacuum chamber (15) or on the sealing gasket (14).

• Close the lid (8) and push down on the front

corners of the lid with your thumbs, then push the LOCK buttons (12) into the locked position (fig. E). The appliance will carry out a vacuum packing cycle. Wait until the SEAL MIN (6a) or the SEAL MAX light (6b) goes off.

• Press down on the rounded recessed area of the manual valve (9) to release the lid (fig. F).
• Lift the lid and remove the bag.
• Check the quality of the seal obtained, which should appear as a regular, wrinkle-free crosswise strip with no internal ridges in the bag. (fig. G)

5. Vacuum packing with bags cut from a roll or pre-cut bags

• Lift the lid (8) and turn it in the open position.
• Place food in the bag without creasing it excessively or stretching surfaces. Eliminate any liquids or food residues from the area inside the bag that will be sealed.
• Place the bag and its contents in front of the appliance and place the open end inside the vacuum chamber (15) (fig. H).
• Close the lid (8) and push down on the front corners of the lid with your thumbs, then push the LOCK buttons (12) into the locked position (fig. 1). The appliance will carry out a vacuum packing cycle. Wait until the SEAL MIN light (6a) or the SEAL MAX light (6b) goes off.
• Press down on the rounded recessed area of the manual valve (9) to release the lid (fig. L).
• Lift the lid and remove the bag.
• Check the quality of the seal obtained, which should appear as a regular, wrinkle-free crosswise strip with no internal ridges in the bag. (fig. M)
• The appliance can be stopped at any time by pressing down the manual valve (9). The appliance stops only when the lid is raised.

6. How to use the MAN VAC button (4)

Pressing this button when the VACUUM light (3) turns yellow enables you to obtain a higher vacuum than the one set for the automatic cycle. The pump will continue drawing out air as long as the MAN VAC button (4) is pressed (fig. N). When you release the button the appliance automatically starts sealing for the time previously set with the SEAL TIME button (6)

7. How to use the MAN SEAL button (5)

Pressing this button, causes the SEAL MIN light (6a) or the SEAL MAX light (6b) to go on and the sealing process starts immediately. This allows you to prevent delicate, fragile foods from being crushed (e.g. biscuits, etc.) (fig. O).

8. Setting the sealing time (6)

The factory set sealing time is MIN. If the bag is not completely sealed, change the sealing time by means of the TIME SEAL button (6) (fig. P); refer to the control description on page 28. The sealing time must be adjusted before starting the vacuum packing cycle. The manually selected sealing time is cancelled when you unplug the unit or put the switch (1) into the OFF position.

9. Vacuum packing in MAGIC VAC Executive containers or in containers sealed with MAGIC VAC Universal Caps with new knob

The MAGIC VAC® Executive containers and the MAGIC VAC® Universal Caps with star-shaped knob (fig. Q) make vacuum packing easier, because the connection hose can be directly introduced into the knob central hole (fig. R).

MAGIC VAC Universal Caps, available in two diameters (100 mm and 125 mm), are to be used on jars for preserving food and bowls and receptacles made of tempered glass. The Universal Caps work just like the Caps for MAGIC VAC Executive containers.

WARNING: When using Universal Caps do not use plastic or glass containers that are not suitable since they could implode under the vacuum pressure of the appliance and cause injury.

• Fill the container leaving at least 3cm of room between the contents and upper rim and position the lid on the container. Turn the knob to the "VACUUM" position". (fig. Q)
• Connect the container lid knob to the appliance air inlet (10) by means of the connection hose (20). (fig. R)
• Lock the lid (8) by pushing the LOCK buttons (12); the machine will carry out a vacuum packing cycle and turn off automatically on its completion.
• Remove the hose from the container lid knob.
• Turn the knob to the "CLOSED" position.
• To open the containers turn the knob to the "OPEN" position; you should hear a hissing

of air as it enters the container. This sound guarantees that the contents have been packed in a vacuum.

10. Vacuum packing in MAGIC VAC Family containers

Multipurpose containers ideal for storage of frequently used products such as dry and fragile foods; powder foodstuffs; fresh, pureed or strained fruit and vegetables. Their transparency and design makes them attractive to display on kitchen shelves while ensuring that their contents are clearly visible.

• Fill the container leaving at least 3cm of room between the contents and upper rim and position the lid on the container.
• Connect the container lid knob to the unit air outlet port (10) by means of the connection tube (20) (fig. S).
• Lock the lid (8) by pushing the LOCK buttons (12); the machine will carry out a vacuum packing cycle and turn off automatically on its completion.
• Remove the hose from the container lid.
• Press the central button (21) to open the containers (fig. S).

11. Vacuum packing in glass jars sealed with metal caps (Leifheit type)

Use the large-sized cap attachment to pack foods in large-mouthed glass jars with a metal cap. A small-sized cap attachment is also available for narrow-mouthed jars sealed with metal caps.
- Fill the container leaving at least 3cm of room between the contents and upper rim.
- Connect the cap attachment (22) to the air inlet (10) of the appliance by means of the connection hose (20). Place the cap attachment directly on the jar with the metal cap only (23) and press down, making sure it fits correctly (fig. T).
- Lock the lid (8) by pushing the LOCK buttons (12); the machine will carry out a vacuum packing cycle and turn off automatically on its completion. Make sure that the cap attachment holds firmly, keeping it pressed with the your hand.
- Disconnect the hose from the cap attachment. Remove the cap attachment from the jar.
- Apply the ring (24) supplied with the jar and

screw it down all the way (fig. T).

• To open a glass jar vacuum-sealed with a metal cap, use the cap opener provided (the side with writing should be turned up). Position the cap opener as shown in figure U and gently pry open the cap until the vacuum is released. Remove the metal cap. This accessory allows you to reuse the cap.

12. Vacuum packing with MAGIC VAC bottle caps®

The MAGIC VA® Bottle Cap may be used to seal partly filled bottles of wine or non-fizzy beverages. Using the Bottle Cap will allow you to create a vacuum inside the bottle so as to slow

TROUBLESHOOTING

The MAGIC VAC® does not work

• Check the switch (1) position.
• Make sure the MAGIC VAC® has been plugged in properly. Check the electric socket by plugging another appliance into it.
• The MAGIC VAC® will stop automatically if overheated. Allow it to cool down for 15 minutes and try again.
• Check for faults in the power cord or the plug. Should you detect a fault, do not use the appliance.

The MAGIC VAC® fails to apply the first seal on the bag cut from the roll

• Make sure the bag cut from the roll is properly positioned as described in the paragraph: "Making bags from MAGIC VAC® rolls"

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 the bag, seal it with air inside, place it underwater and apply pressure on it. The appearance of bubbles means that there is a leak. Reseal or use another bag.

The MAGIC VAC® does not seal the bag properly

• Whenever the machine does not seal the bag completely, press the TIME SEAL knob (6) and increase 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.
• The MAGIC VAC® is built in conformity with current safety standards. Overheating will cause it to turn off automatically. Allow the appliance to cool down for 15 minutes and try again.

The MAGIC VAC® bag does not maintain a vacuum after being sealed

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 3cm ) 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 refrigerator, 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 damaged.

MAGIC VAC® Executive containers or MAGIC VAC® Universal Caps do not maintain a vacuum

• 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.

MAGIC VAC® Family containers do not maintain a vacuum
