BEFORE YOU START BAG SEALING

Before using the Vacuum Sealer, familiarize yourself with the bag sealing functions.
A vacuum bag is sealed when the Seal Bar Heating Element is activated and heats
the bag to its melting point, which then permanently welds the bag layers together,
sealing the bag shut. This appliance comes pre-set from the factory to engage
the Seal Bar Heating Element for 3 seconds. This is the correct amount of time
required to fully seal Weston's Vacuum Bags. Different brands of vacuum bags may
require slightly more or slightly less sealing time. NOTE: THIS BAG SEALER IS
INTENDED TO BE USED ONLY WITH VACUUM BAGS. FOR BEST RESULTS
USE ONLY WESTON'S VACUUM BAGS. DO NOT USE HOUSEHOLD BAGS!
The Seal Bar Heating Element of the Vacuum Sealer is covered with a high
temperature resistant Seal Bar Tape. DO NOT TOUCH the Seal Bar Tape or the
Seal Bar Heating Element after a bag has been sealed.
Test seal a couple of bags to be sure that the Seal Time is set properly. The Seal
Time may need to be increased (+) or decreased (-) to optimally seal a bag.
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!
