Before You Start Bag Sealing; Protective Tape; Cooling Fan - Weston PRO-1100 Manual De Instrucciones

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 Vacuum
Bags. Different brands of vacuum bags may require slightly more or slightly
less sealing time.
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.

PROTECTIVE TAPE

There is one factory installed
strip of Seal Bar Tape on the Vacuum Sealer.
DO NOT REMOVE THE TAPE!

The Seal Bar Heating Element is covered with Seal Bar Tape to
protect vacuum bags during sealing (Figure 1). DO NOT remove the
Seal Bar Tape. See the "Maintenance Kit" section of this manual for
information on replacing the Seal Bar Tape, if necessary.

COOLING FAN

The Vacuum Sealer has an Internal Cooling Fan that runs whenever
the unit is plugged in and turned on. To save energy, turn the unit
"OFF" and unplug the Power Cord when not in use.
