What to do when you get your new 220 v.a.c Vacuum Chamber Machine!
1. Remove all the items from the vacuum chamber. Some of the things that you may have:
A box of characters for your heat sealing bar for coding your bags.
An extra gasket for your lid.
An extra heating element
A wrench
A screwdriver
A part bottle of Vacuum Sealer Oil
A spacer for the bottom of your chamber
2. Clean the chamber with food grade cleaner
3. Set up your 220 v.a.c. circuit
You may or may not have a plug installed on your cord. Trust no one - make sure you know the ground is the ground. Find the end of your cord and determine which is the ground lead. Do this with an ohmmeter. (Available almost anywhere for about $10). Put one lead on the housing of the machine and touch each lead on the power cord. When you get a reading of "0", that's the ground. The other two are your hot leads. Make sure they are connected to each leg of your power center. It is possible to get 110 on two leads and not have 220 at the outlet. The leads must be connected to two different legs in your breaker box. A 30 amp breaker is most popular for outlets but you can try a 20 amp breaker if you are only going to run this machine on the circuit. When you have the outlet ready, set the voltmeter on A.C voltage and MAKE SURE it reads 220 or more. If NOT, don't try it. (This is very important! The unit is 220 v.a.c. and you will destroy the pump motor if it runs on 110 v.a.c. and void your warranty)
4. Start Vacuum packing
Plug in the cord
Lift the lid - the spring load will catch and hold up the lid.
Set the heat on the sealer bar by pushing the button until the low button is lit.
Put something in a bag and place it inside the chamber with the open end on the sealer bar and under the holder wire.
Push down the lid and hold it until the vacuum holds the lid down.
Watch the vacuum gauge and note the time that the gauge no longer moves lower. Add 2 seconds and set your vacuum time to that time the next cycle.
Examine the seal on the bag and see if the sealing time needs adjustment
