Weston Pro 3000 Vacuum Sealer - Manual (Page 6)

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 “Service Instructions” section of this manual for information on replacing the
Oval Vacuum Chamber Seals, if necessary.
COOLING FAN
The Vacuum Sealer has an Internal Cooling Fan that runs whenever the unit
is plugged in and turned on. To save energy, turn the unit “OFF” and unplug
the Power Cord when not in use.
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
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.
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 Vacu-
um 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.
WARNING!
Before cleaning, assembling or disassembling the
Vacuum Sealer, make sure the Vacuum Sealer is OFF and the PLUG IS
REMOVED FROM THE OUTLET/POWER SOURCE!
REPLACING THE FUSE
If the Vacuum Sealer does not operate when it is plugged in and turned on, try
any or all of the following:
1. Make sure the
Fuse is not blown. The Fuse is located on the right side of the unit
directly above the Power Cord Port. Turn “OFF” and unplug the Vacuum Sealer.
Twist off and remove the Fuse Cap. Remove and check the Fuse (Figure 10). The thin
metal band in the center of the Fuse should be clean and unbroken. If it is burned and/
or broken, replace it with a new Fuse (10 Amp). Replace the Fuse Cap.
2. Make sure the Connector at the end of the Power Cord is plugged completely into
the Power Cord Port.
3. Make sure the Power Cord is not damaged. DO NOT use a damaged Power
Cord. Call the Customer Service line for information on part replacement.
4. Try connecting the
Power Cord Plug to another electrical outlet.
