VACUUM CHAMBER SEALS
There are two factory-installed
Oval Chamber Seals
on the
Vacuum Sealer
(Figure 2).
When the
Vacuum Lid
is closed
they form an airtight seal so
the
Vacuum Chamber
can be
evacuated.
The
Oval Chamber Seals
may wear over time and
require replacement. See the
“Maintenance Kit”
section of
this manual for information on
replacing the
Oval Vacuum
Chamber Seals
, if necessary.
THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
The
Vacuum Sealer
will automatically shut down if it overheats. If this occurs, turn
the unit off and open the
Vacuum Lid
. Resume normal operation after the unit cools
or about 20 minutes.
To help prevent overheating, wait at least 20 seconds between cycles with the
Vacuum Lid
open. Avoid touching the
Seal Bar Tape
. The
Seal Bar Tape
will
remain hot for a brief period of time after each sealing cycle.
WARNING!
Before cleaning, assembling or disassembling the Vacuum
Sealer, make sure the Vacuum Sealer is OFF and the PLUG IS REMOVED
FROM THE OUTLET/POWER SOURCE!
