OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Insert power plug into socket.
Allow the sealer to heat up approximately 5 minutes (warm-up time will vary with the thickness of the bag to be sealed). Choose either the low setting for a light material or a the high setting for thicker materials. We recommend starting at the lowest setting and gradually moving up as needed.
After a suitable temperature has been reached, put the bag edge between the heated sealing bars and press down for 3 seconds. If the seal weld holds, continue this way. *If the welding appears to damage the bag, apply pressure on the sealing bar for less than 3 seconds. If the welding appears incomplete, apply pressure for more than 3 seconds.

- Insert the power plug into the socket.
- Let the sealer heat up for about 5 minutes; warm-up time varies with bag thickness.
- Choose the low setting for light material or the high setting for thicker material, starting low and increasing as needed.
- Place the bag edge between the heated sealing bars and press down for 3 seconds.
- If the seal damages the bag, press for less than 3 seconds; if the seal is incomplete, press for longer.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix (from the manual) |
|---|---|---|
| Power on but no heating | The heating part cable is broken or the heater is broken. | Have the heating cable or heater repaired or replaced. Page 2 |
| Bad or uneven sealing line | Low heating temperature, low pressure or short pressing time. | Raise the heat setting and hold the sealing bars down longer. Page 2 |
| Unable to control heat | Faulty heat temperature potentiometer. | Replace the heat temperature potentiometer. Page 2 |
