BEFORE YOU START BAG SEALING
Before using the
Vacuum Sealer
, familiarize yourself with the bag sealing functions.
A vacuum bag is sealed when the
Seal Bar Heating Element
is activated and heats
the bag to its melting point, which then permanently welds the bag layers together,
sealing the bag shut. This appliance comes pre-set from the factory to engage
the
Seal Bar Heating Element
for 3 seconds. This is the correct amount of time
required to fully seal Weston’s Vacuum Bags. Different brands of vacuum bags may
require slightly more or slightly less sealing time.
NOTE:
THIS BAG SEALER IS
INTENDED TO BE USED ONLY WITH VACUUM BAGS.
FOR BEST RESULTS
USE ONLY WESTON’S VACUUM BAGS. DO NOT USE HOUSEHOLD BAGS!
The
Seal Bar Heating Element
of the
Vacuum Sealer
is covered with a high
temperature resistant
Seal Bar Tape
.
DO NOT TOUCH
the
Seal Bar Tape
or the
Seal Bar Heating Element
after a bag has been sealed.
Test seal a couple of bags to be sure that the
Seal Time
is set properly. The
Seal
Time
may need to be increased (+) or decreased (-) to optimally seal a bag.
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!
NOTE:
The
Vacuum Sealer
is ONLY intended to be used with VACUUM BAGS. For
best results, only use the recommended vacuum bags with an embossed or mesh lining.
DO NOT USE HOUSEHOLD BAGS!
Any other uses of the
Vacuum Sealer,
other
than the uses described in this booklet, could potentially damage the appliance and void
the warranty!
