Weston Pro 3000 Vacuum Sealer - Manual (Page 10)

BEFORE ATTEMPTING VACUUM PACKAGING BE SURE THAT THE
VACUUM SEALER IS SET UP IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL OF THE SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS LISTED IN THIS BOOKLET.
1. With the
Vacuum Sealer
plugged in and the power turned
on, check to be sure the Auto
Mode Light is illuminated; press
the Mode Button until the auto light
is on (Figure 4).
2. Place the items to be vacuum
sealed into a vacuum bag. Allow at
least 2” (5 cm) at the open end of
the bag in order to create enough
seal space. Be sure not to cover
the Vacuum Port (Figure 5) .
3. Close the Clear Acrylic Vacuum Lid
and check that the bag opening is in the
center of the Vacuum Chamber (Figure 5).
4. Press and release the Start Button.
The 2-Piston Vacuum Pump will begin
removing air from the bag while the LED
Vacuum Window begins to count up. You
may need to apply light pressure to the Clear
Acrylic Vacuum Lid during the count-up
process. The LED Vacuum Window will
count up starting at the number “1” and going
thru to the number “9”, before automatically
engaging the bag sealing process. (These
numbers represent stages, not seconds.)
5. Once the LED Vacuum Window displays the number “9”, the sealing process
will begin by counting down from the seal set time to “0” on the LED Seal Window.
6. Once the LED Seal Window has reached “0”, the Vacuum Sealer will
automatically stop the 2-Piston Vacuum Pump and release the vacuum pressure
moments later. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PULL THE CLEAR ACRYLIC VACUUM
LID OPEN BEFORE THE VACUUM HAS BEEN RELEASED, SEVERE DAMAGE
TO THE SEALING BAR WILL RESULT.
