MAINTENANCE KIT INSTRUCTIONS

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 one end of the bag onto the Sealing Bar, leaving about 2” (5 cm) of the empty
part of the bag beyond the inside edge of the Sealing Bar.
3. Be sure not to cover the Vacuum Port with the bag. Covering the Vacuum Port
prevents the proper vacuuming of air from the bag.
4. Close the Vacuum Lid while holding the bag in place.
5. If the Manual Light is not illuminated, press the Mode Button until the Manual
Light is illuminated to select the Manual Mode.
6. Press the Start Button engaging the Vacuum Pump (the Vacuum Pump must be on
for the Seal Bar to heat up).
7. You may need to apply slight pressure to the Handle at the beginning of the
countdown process in order to create a proper seal.
8. Press the Manual Seal Button immediately after the Vacuum Pump starts. (Press
down on the Vacuum Lid to contact the Sealing Bar.)
9. After the Seal Window counts down to zero (0) the unit will automatically release
the vacuum and enable the Vacuum Lid to open.
10. 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.
11. Do not form side seals on the bags, the sides are already sealed.
12. 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.
