VACUUM CHAMBER SEALS
There are two factory-installed Oval Vacuum Chamber Seals on the Vacuum
Sealer. When the Vacuum Lid is closed and downward force applied, they form
an airtight seal so the Vacuum Chamber can be evacuated.
The Oval Vacuum Chamber Seals may wear over time and require replacement.
See the "Service Instructions" section of this manual for information on replacing
the Oval Vacuum Chamber Seals, if necessary.
COOLING FANS
The Vacuum Sealer has Internal Cooling Fans that run 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. If replacing the fans, please
note that there are two intake fans at the sides of the machine and one
exhaust fan at the center. All three fans are the same replacement part,
however, the direction in which you replace the fan differs for exhaust
and intake. Use your original factory installation for reference.
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 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.
LIMIT SWITCH
The Vacuum Sealer is equipped with a switch to prevent actuation of the Seal
Bar Heating Element in manual mode when the Vacuum Lid is open. When the
Vacuum Lid is closed, heat made by the Seal Bar Heating Element is absorbed
by the vacuum bag and Vacuum Lid Seal.
When the Vacuum Lid is open, there is no means to dissipate the heat and unit
damage may occur.
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!
