WHAT’S IN THE PACKAGE?
Looking at the top of the unit, you will find from left to right:
• Vacuum Gauge.
• Nozzle Enclosure in the middle.
• Heat Timer.
• Cool Timer.
• Main On/Off power switch.
• Pressure Bar at the front of the unit.
If you ordered the Vacuum Regulator and/or Vacuum Filter accessories, you will
also find these on the back of the Vacuum Sealer and user instructions on the
last page of this manual.
GETTING CONNECTED
But first, let’s show you HOW TO USE THE AIR PUSH FITTINGS
2. Set Heat Timer to four (4) seconds and Cool Timer to six (6).
3. Take one bag and fold it in half. Place your folded bag between the jaws
back enough to extend past the Pressure Bar. Placing it above, below or
to one side of the nozzle is ok.
6. Raise Heat Timer setting one half (1/2) second if the seal is weak or lower
by one half (1/2) second if the seal is good. Test again by repeating from
step #3 onward. Adjust Cool Timer so material has time to set before
sealing bar opens, usually about 50% higher than the Heat Timer.
NOTE: To avoid overheating and to extend the life of the Heating Element,
set the Heat Timer to lowest possible setting that will result in a strong
seal.
7. Keep your Heat and Cool Timer settings just as you determined on the
previous steps.
WARNING: Please do not vacuum seal products with liquids only. Small
amounts of liquids, powders or other small particles will be sucked by the
vacuum nozzle. Make sure your Vacuum Sealer has a Vacuum Filter
installed on it (by AmeriVacS), or the product will go directly to the vacuum
pump making the vacuum sealer inoperative.
NOTE: Avoid activating sealer without a bag between the sealing jaws.
Doing so will make the Retractable Nozzle deteriorate the Rubber seals
and Teflon between the jaws.
9. Hold bag taut on the sides close to the front of the Pressure bar (to avoid
any wrinkles in your seal), and keeping fingers away from the Sealing
Jaws, press and hold the Foot Switch. When you see that the package
has reached the desired amount of vacuum, release the Foot Switch and
the Nozzle will immediately retract. The Pressure Bar will close tighter
and the bag will be heat sealed as indicated by the LED’s on the Heat and
Cool Timers. The Pressure Bar will rise, releasing your bag and the nozzle
will slowly extend, ready for the next cycle.
