TAPE AND HEATING ELEMENT REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION! Unplug sealer from socket before
proceeding.
1. Remove screws along with the cover plates (A)
and top teflon cover (B). Remove element (C) from
terminal posts. (See Figure 1)
2. If bottom adhesive teflon tape (D) is worn, burned or
ripped, it needs to be changed. Teflon tape keeps
the element insulated from the sealer housing to
ensure proper sealer operation. (See Figure 1)
If this tape is not worn, go to step 5.
3. After removal of metal cover plates, teflon tapes
and element, clean surface with a damp rag
until free of glue and debris. Adhesive remover is
recommended. (See Figure 2)
4. Peel off backing of new or replacement Uline kit
adhesive teflon tape. Apply evenly onto sealer.
Excess tape should extend all the way to the
terminal posts (E). If the element touches any metal,
the sealer will short out. (See Figure 2)
5. Attach new heating element.
6. Reassemble in reverse of step 1. Teflon cover must
be flush against the sealer before replacing cover
plates.
