Caring For Your Vacuum Sealer
1. Before attempting any cleaning operation, remove
the plug from the outlet.
2. Simply wipe the sealer with a soft, damp cloth.
Do not
immerse in water.
Do not
use any abrasive
cleaners.
3. If particles of plastic adhere to the sealing wire,
wipe them off carefully to avoid damage to the wire.
It may help to carry out a sealing operation (closing
the lid and pressing fully down) without a bag in
position. This will heat the wire and soften any
plastic adhering to it.
