Vacuum Chamber Seals; Limit Switch; Thermal Overload Protector; Assembly - Weston PRO-1100 Mode D'emploi

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.

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.

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.

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.
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!
