Hints and Tips
nJuices and moisture in foods can prevent a good seal,
therefore, we recommend to pre-freeze food for 1-2
hours before vacuum packaging. An alternative
method is to fold a paper towel. Fill the bag with food
and lay flat. Place the folded towel so it lies between
the top of the bag and the food. Ensure that the paper
towel is below the sealing strip. When you vacuum
seal, the paper towel will absorb the excess moisture.
nLiquids need to be cooled before vacuum packing. Hot
liquids will bubble up and over the top of the jar when
vacuum packed. Note: A jar attachment is necessary
for sealing jars.
nUse canning lids that have been checked for flaws. To
create and keep a good vacuum, soak lids in boiling
water for 3 minutes and rub a drop of mineral oil on
the gasket. This will lubricate and hydrate the gasket.
After vacuum packing, you may use the metal rim that
comes with the jar in order to hold the lid in place.
This rim is meant to assist in keeping the vacuum
sealed lid secure.
nStore perishable foods in the freezer or refrigerator.
Vacuum packing extends the shelf life of foods, but
does not preserve them.
nMany foods are sold pre-packed in commercial vacu-
um bags such as cheese and deli meats. Now,you can
maintain the taste and freshness of these foods, by re-
packaging with Deni Magic Vac™ Bags after the com-
mercially packed bags have been opened.
nPantry items such as flour, rice, mixes for cakes and
pancakes, all stay fresher longer when vacuum packed.
Nuts and condiments maintain their flavor while ran-
cidity is kept out.
nFor objects with sharp points and edges, such as bones
or dried pasta, pad the edges with paper towels to
keep them from puncturing the bag.
nThere are many non-food uses for vacuum packing.
Keep camping supplies such as matches, first aid kits
and clothing clean and dry. Keep flares for auto emer-
gencies ready.Keep silver and collectibles untarnished.
nFill a bag about 2/3full with water,seal the end (don’t
vacuum). Freeze the bag and use for ice in the cooler,
or ice packs for sports injuries.
Using the Deni Magic Vac above sea level (over 4800 ft)
The Vacuum Gauge is a device technically working on a differential basis
since it measures the difference between external pressure (room) and the
internal vacuum level. This means that, in the presence of the same inter-
nal vacuum level, the vacuum gauge change from yellow to green will
depend on the external pressure. Thus, when using the Magic Vac above
sea level, the vacuum gauge might not turn totally green when reaching
the maximum vacuum level due to the altitude; however,this does not
mean that the obtained vacuum value is lower than the vacuum achieved
at sea level.

Deni Magic Vac™ will change the way you purchase and store
foods. As you become accustomed to vacuum packing, it will
become an indispensable part of your food preparation. When
preparing and vacuum packing foods using your Magic Vac™
Select, there are certain procedures that must be followed to
ensure food quality and safety. Review this section carefully for
your protection.
nFood spoilage is caused by chemical reactions in the food to
air, temperature, moisture, enzyme action, growth of microor-
ganisms, or contamination from insects.
nOxygen in the air causes spoilage primarily through the
process of oxidation, which causes food to lose nutritive
value, texture, flavor and overall quality. Air contributes to the
growth of most microorganisms, and carries moisture into
and out of foods unless they are protected with moisture-proof
packaging. Freezer burnresults from frozen foods being
exposed to air.
nVacuum packaging with the Magic Vac™ Select removes up
to 90% of the air from the package. In scientific terms, the
vacuum level is measured up to 24” Hg (inches of Mercury).
Air contains approximately 21% oxygen, which leaves a 2%
to 3% residual oxygen level in Magic Vac™ vacuum pack-
aged foods. Most mold, moisture and microorganisms are
inhibited from growth when the oxygen level is at or below
5%.
nAlthough vacuum packaging extends the life of many fresh
foods by reducing oxidation, most fresh foods still contain
enough moisture to support the growth of microorganisms which
can grow with or without air. To prevent spoilage, foods need to
be stored at low temperatures.
nTemperatures in the refrigerator greater than 40°F (4°C) (espe-
cially for extended periods of time) may support the growth of
harmful microorganisms. Monitor the temperature and maintain
atemperature at 40°F(4°C) or below.
nSuitable temperature for the freezer is 0°F (-17°C). Freezing
retards the growth of microorganisms, BUT DOES NOT KILL
THEM.
nDried foods are also affected by storage temperature when
vacuum packaged. Their shelf life is extended 3-4 times for
every 18° F (10°C) drop in temperature.
nMicroorganisms can be divided into three categories: mold,
yeast, and bacteria. Although microorganisms are present
everywhere, they can only cause problems under certain
conditions.
nMold does not grow in a low oxygen environment or in the
absence of moisture. Yeast requires moisture, sugar and a
moderate temperature to grow,but can grow with or without air.
Refrigeration slows the growth of yeast and freezing stops it
completely.Bacteria can grow with or without air.
Food Storage and Safety Information

11
MAGIC VAC™Select
Commercial Quality Vacuum Sealer
nClostridium botulinum is an extremely dangerous type of
bacteria, which can grow under the right conditions without
air. Botulinum organisms grow in the temperature range of 40°
to 115°F (4° to 46°C). Conditions for growth are foods lacking
acid, low oxygen environment and temperatures greater than
40°F (4°C) for extended time.
nFoods that are resistant to botulinum are frozen, dried, high in
acid, salt or sugar.Foods susceptible to botulinum are non-
acid foods which include meats, poultry,fish, seafood, lye-
cured olives, eggs and mushrooms; low-acid foods are mostly
vegetables; medium-acid foods include overripe tomatoes,
onions, chili peppers, figs and cucumbers.
nThe foods most susceptible to botulinum should be refrigerated
for shorttermand frozen for long termstorage. Consume
immediately after heating.
nWarning: Do not heat low-acid vacuum packed foods in the
DENI MAGIC VAC™ bags unless you are going to eat them
immediately. Foods that are vacuum packed, heated, then left
out at room temperature while still sealed in the vacuum are
subject to microorganisms which may be harmful if consumed.
nEnzymes occur in foods and cause increasing changes in
color, texture and flavor as foods mature. To stop enzyme
action, vegetables must be blanched by heat, either in the
microwave or with steam. Note: Heat all the way through
briefly so vegetables are still crisp. Foods that are high in acid
(such as most fruits), do not need to be blanched.
nInsect larvae are frequently present on many dried foods.
Without vacuum packaging or freezing, they may hatch dur-
ing storage and contaminate the foods. Some products such as
flour and cereals may also contain larvae. DENI MAGIC
VAC™ vacuum packaging prevents weevils and other insects
from hatching because they cannot live without air.
GENERAL RULES FOR FOOD SAFETY
Food safety rules are based on scientific study as well as com-
mon sense. The following rules and important information will
guide you to improved food safety and optimal food storage.
nOnce you have heated, defrosted or un-refrigerated perishable
foods, consume them.
nAfter opening canned food or commercially vacuum packed
food, they can be re-vacuum packed. Follow the instructions to
refrigerate after opening and store re-vacuumed packages
properly.
nDon’tdefrost foods in hot water or via other heat sources. It
doesn’t matter whether they are vacuum packed or not.
nDon’tconsume foods if they are perishable and have been left
out at room temperature for more than a few hours. This is
especially important if they have been prepared with a thick
sauce, in a vacuum package, or in a low oxygen environment.
nSpread vacuum packages evenly throughout the refrigerator or
freezer to cool down food temperature quickly.

12
®
When packaging large volumes of meat, fish, or
any food products, we advise the following:
nMake sure to properly clean your hands, all utensils and
surfaces to be used for cutting and vacuum packing foods.
nOnce you’ve packed perishable foods, refrigerate or freeze
them immediately. Don’t leave them sitting at room tempera-
ture.
nVacuum packing will increase the shelf life of dry foods. Foods
that have high fat content develop rancidity due to oxygen and
warmtemperature. Vacuum packaging extends the shelf life of
foods such as nuts, coconut or cereals. Store in a cool, dark
place.
nVacuum packing will not extend the shelf life of fruits and
vegetables such as bananas, apples, potatoes and root
vegetables unless they are peeled before vacuum packing.
nVegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage emit
gases when vacuum packed fresh for refrigeration. To prepare
these foods for vacuum packing, blanch and freeze.
Troubleshooting
MAGIC VAC™ HAS NO POWER
nCheck that the unit is turned on.
nCheck to see that the Magic Vac is plugged in. Test electrical
outlet by plugging in another appliance.
nMagic Vac™ will shut off automatically if overheated. Allow to
cool down for 15 minutes and try again.
nCheck power cord and plug for damage. If damaged, do not
use the Magic Vac™.
MAGIC VAC™ DOES NOT PERFORM FIRST SEAL ON THE BAG
nMake sure the bag cut from the roll is properly positioned as
described in item 4 of the operating instructions.
MAGIC VAC™ DOES NOT PULL A COMPLETE VACUUM IN BAGS
nToseal properly,open end of bag should be resting entirely
inside Vacuum Chamber area.
nCheck Seal Bar and Gripping Gasket for debris and position.
Wipe clean and smooth them back into place.
nMagic Vac™ Bag may have a leak. Totest, seal the bag
with some air in it, submerge in water, and apply pressure.
Bubbles indicate a leak. Reseal or use another bag.

13
MAGIC VAC™Select
Commercial Quality Vacuum Sealer
nCheck Jar Attachment to make sure it is not worn or damaged.
nIf liquids bubble up when vacuum packing, remember they must
be cooled prior to vacuum packing. Cool liquids rapidly under
refrigeration and not at room temperature.
MAGIC VAC™ CANISTERS AND CONTAINERS LOSE THEIR VACUUM
nMake sure arrow on the knob of canister lid and universal lid is
turned to the closed position after vacuuming.
nExamine jar or canister rims and lids for defects in the sealing
areas. Clean rim and lid with damp cloth and vacuum again.
nCheck that canister lid and universal lid gasket are in place and
are not damaged.
nCheck that the O-rings under canister lid and universal lid are in
place and completely seated.
nCanning jar lids must be perfect and not bent.
nCanning jar lid may need to be replaced with a new one.
Storing your Deni Magic Vac™
Keep your unit on your counter or hang it on the
wall. Tomount it on the wall, insert two screws
into the wall the same distance apart as the
holes on the back of the unit. Be sure the screws
are sturdy enough to hold the weight of the unit.
Place the holes on the back of the unit over the
screws and hang unit. You will be surprised how often you use it. This
is an appliance that will be used every day to keep your foods fresh-
er longer.
MAGIC VAC™ LOSES VACUUM AFTER BEING SEALED
nLeaks 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.
nThe 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.
nCheck 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
nShould 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.
nBuilt-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.
MAGIC VAC™ DOES NOT DRAW VACUUM IN CONTAINERS
nEnsure the Accessory Hose is secured on both ends.
nLeave adequate head space at the top of the jar or canister.
nMake sure arrow on canister lid knob points to Vacuum setting.
nUse the correct size Jar Attachment. Large size is used with wide-
mouth canning jars. Small size is used with narrow mouth jars.
