Initial Testing Of The Bag Seal - Weston PRO-2500 CHAMBER Mode D'emploi

INITIAL TESTING OF THE BAG SEAL

WARNING!
Vacuum Sealer, make sure the Vacuum Sealer is OFF and the PLUG IS REMOVED
FROM THE OUTLET/POWER SOURCE!
1. ALWAYS allow the sealing bar to cool
for approximately 20 seconds between
bags. Leave the Vacuum Lid OPEN
between uses, this allows the Heating
Element to cool more quickly between
bags.
2. Place a bag in the vacuum chamber
with the opening of the bag facing the
Seal Bar. Lift the bag holder latch to
open the rings in front of the seal bar.
Slide the bag in the ring opening and
close the hook latch to secure the bag
in place (FIGURE 7). Allow for 1"-2" of extra headspace at the top of the bag to
ensure a quality seal.
3. Press the ON/OFF Button. Close the lid and select the Seal Function. Choose
your desired vacuum and seal time settings by pushing the function button to
move between vacuum pressure and seal times. Press the Vacuum Degree
button to choose one of the preset vacuum pressure degrees or choose the
adjustable option to manually set your own pressure using the + or - buttons.
Vacuum pressure is measured in inches of mercury.
4. Press the Start Button, engaging the Vacuum Pump to initiate the vacuum and
seal process.
5. After the Seal Window counts down to zero (0), the unit will automatically
release the vacuum and enable the Vacuum Lid to open. Do not try to open the
lid while chamber is .pressurized. The unit will beep 3 times when complete.
NOTE: the lid is very heavy, so you may need to use some force to open.
6. Remove the bag and inspect the seal. The seal should appear smooth and
consistent all the way across the bag. The seal SHOULD NOT melt through the
bag at any point. Be sure there are no creases or wrinkles that may allow air to
leak into the bag. A properly sealed bag will not pull apart, the bag must be cut
open.
7. Do not form side seals on the bags, the sides are already sealed.
8. If the seal is good, proceed with vacuum packaging. Otherwise:
. If the seal is melted through the bag, trim off the bad seal with
scissors and adjust the Seal Time Down (-) in one second
increments and try the test process again.
. If the seal has not fully welded the bag closed, trim off the bad
seal with scissors and adjust the Seal Time Up (+) in one second
increments and try the test process again.
NOTE: The Chamber Vacuum Sealer is ONLY intended to be used with CHAMBER
VACUUM BAGS. DO NOT USE HOUSEHOLD BAGS OR EMBOSSED BAGS
INTENDED FOR USE WITH OUT OF CHAMBER SEALERS! Any other uses of
the Vacuum Sealer, other than the uses described in this booklet, could potentially
damage the appliance and void the warranty!
