Vacuum Chamber Seals; Cooling Fan; Thermal Overload Protector; Limit Switch - Weston PRO Series Manual

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 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.

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
DO NOT USE HOUSEHOLD BAGS! Any other uses of the Vacuum
lining.
Sealer, other than the uses described in this booklet, could potentially damage the
appliance and void the warranty!
