Remove the bag and inspect the heat seal. The heat source is from the
bottom, so the heat will go upward on your bag. The lower two (2) layers
of the bag will most likely be sealed, but you want to make sure that the
upper two (2) layers are also sealed. This will ensure that if you do seal a
wrinkle in your bag (which is essentially four (4) layers of bag material) it
will definitely be air tight.
NOTE: Explanation applies to units not equipped with Bi-Active sealing.
6.
Raise Heat Timer setting one half (1/2) second if the seal is weak or lower
by one half (1/2) second if the seal is good. Test again by repeating from
step #3 onward. Adjust Cool Timer so material has time to set before
sealing bar opens, usually about 50% higher than the Heat Timer.
NOTE: To avoid overheating and to extend the life of the Heating Element,
set the Heat Timer to lowest possible setting that will result in a strong
seal.
Before continuing, please read and understand the following
steps before doing them, as the process will be very fast.
OPERATING YOUR AMERIVACS
RETRACTABLE NOZZLE VACUUM SEALER
Now that your seal parameters are set, let’s start vacuum sealing:
7.
Keep your Heat and Cool Timer settings just as you determined on the
previous steps.
WARNING:
Please do not vacuum seal products with liquids only. Small
amounts of liquids, powders or other small particles will be sucked by the
vacuum nozzle. Make sure your Vacuum Sealer has a Vacuum Filter
installed on it (by AmeriVacS), or the product will go directly to the vacuum
pump making the vacuum sealer inoperative.
NOTE:
Avoid activating sealer without a bag between the sealing jaws.
Doing so will make the Retractable Nozzle deteriorate the Rubber seals
and Teflon between the jaws.
