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 “Maintenance Kit” section of this manual for information on replacing the
Oval Vacuum Chamber Seals, if necessary.
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
or 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 Vacu-
um 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.
ASSEMBLY
• Place the Vacuum Sealer on a flat,
dry surface.
• Plug the female end of the Power
Cord into the Power Supply Port on the
right side of the appliance (Figure 2).
• Plug the male end of the Power
Cord into a standard, grounded 120-volt
household electrical outlet. DO NOT
attempt to modify the plug to fit into an
unsuitable outlet.
