Other Consumer Safety Information; Thermal Overload Protection - Hamilton Beach 78211 Manual

This appliance is intended for household use only.
w WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided
with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric
shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any
way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician
replace the outlet.

Thermal Overload Protection

The vacuum sealer will automatically shut off if it overheats. If this
occurs, unplug the unit and open the vacuum lid. Resume normal
operation after the unit cools or about 20 minutes.
Always allow 20 seconds minimum for cool down between
operations.
•
This allows the heat-seal bar to cool down.
•
Placing a new bag in the unit and closing the lid when the
heat-seal bar is still hot will cause the bag to prematurely melt
together before vacuum seal operation.
w CAUTION Burn Hazard. Avoid touching the heat-seal bar.

Other Consumer Safety Information

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce
the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If
a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater
than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the
extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
