SETTING THE SEAL PART OF YOUR AMERIVACS
RETRACTABLE NOZZLE VACUUM SEALER
1. Turn on your Vacuum Sealer by pressing the main On/Off (I/0) switch.
The built-in Air Compressor will fill up the internal pressure tank. Always
wait until the Air Compressor stops before stepping on the Foot
Switch.
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.
4. 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 Foot
Switch long enough so
that the Pressure Bar
closes, then release; The
Nozzle will retract, the
Pressure Bar will close
tighter and the bag will
be heat sealed as indicated by the LED lights on the Heat and Cool
Timers then, the Pressure Bar will rise, releasing your bag and the nozzle
will slowly extend outward, ready for the next cycle.
5. Remove the bag and inspect the heat seal. The heat source is from the
bottom, so the heat will go upward on your bag. The lower two (2) layers
of the bag will most likely be sealed, but you want to make sure that the
upper two (2) layers are also sealed. This will ensure that if you do seal a
wrinkle in your bag (which is essentially four (4) layers of bag material) it
will definitely be air tight.
NOTE: Explanation applies to units not equipped with Bi-Active sealing.
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.
