ENGLISH INSTRUCTIONS

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!

PROTECTIVE TAPE

There are two (2) factory installed

strips of Seal Bar Tape on the Vacuum Sealer.

DO NOT REMOVE THE TAPE!

SEAL BAR TAPE

DO NOT 

REMOVE!

The Seal Bar Heating Elements and Vacuum Lid Seal are each 

covered with Seal Bar Tape to protect vacuum bags during sealing 

DO NOT remove the Seal Bar Tape.  See the “Service Instructions” 

section of this manual for information on replacing the Seal Bar Tape, 

if necessary.

*NOTE one extra piece of Seal Bar Tape is included with the original unit as a 

spare. 

OVAL VACUUM CHAMBER SEALS

DO NOT REMOVE!

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

. NEVER IMMERSE the Vacuum Sealer in water or other liquid.

. Make sure the Vacuum Sealer has completely cooled before cleaning it.

. Wipe clean all outside surfaces including the Plastic Vacuum Chamber and  

Vacuum Lid with a damp cloth or paper towel. Most household spray cleaners 

are safe to use. Avoid spraying directly into the vent on the left side of the 

unit.  DO NOT use abrasive cleansers!  Abrasive cleansers will spoil the 

clarity of the Vacuum Lid.

. Be careful while cleaning not to peel or damage the strips of Seal Bar Tape 

covering the Seal Bar Heating Element and Vacuum Lid Seal. 

. Dry all surfaces and close the Vacuum Lid before storing the Vacuum 

Sealer. 

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 FANS

The Vacuum Sealer has Internal Cooling Fans that run 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. If replacing the fans, please  

note that there are two intake fans at the sides of the machine and one 

exhaust fan at the center. All three fans are the same replacement part, 

however, the direction in which you replace the fan differs for exhaust 

and intake. Use your original factory installation for reference. 

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 

Vacuum 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.

NOTE:

  The 

Vacuum Sealer 

is ONLY intended to be used with VACUUM BAGS.  

For best results, only use the recommended vacuum bags with an embossed or mesh 

lining.   

DO NOT USE HOUSEHOLD BAGS! 

 Any other uses of the 

 Vacuum 

Sealer, 

other than the uses described in this booklet, could potentially damage the 

appliance and void the warranty!
