VACUUM CHAMBER SEAL
There is a factory-installed Oval
Chamber Seal on the Vacuum
Sealer (Figure 2). When the
Vacuum Lid is closed they form
an airtight seal so the Vacuum
Chamber can be evacuated.
The Oval Chamber Seal
may wear over time and
require replacement. See the
“Maintenance Kit”
section of
this manual for information on
replacing the Oval Vacuum
Chamber Seal, if necessary.

Some parts of the Vacuum Sealer may need replacing after repeated use. The Vacuum
Sealer Maintenance Kit will be necessary for the Vacuum Sealer to properly function.
REPLACING THE OVAL VACUUM
CHAMBER SEALS:
1. Remove the Power Cord from the power supply.
2. Make sure the unit is completely cool.
3. Open the Vacuum Lid.
4. Remove the Oval Chamber Seal from the
groove in the Vacuum Chamber (Figure 8).
5. Set a new Oval Chamber Seal from the
Maintenance Kit (Figure 9) on the groove in the
Vacuum Chamber. Work the seal into the groove
with your fingers until done.
REPLACING THE SEAL BAR TAPE:
1. Remove the Power Cord from the power supply.
2. Make sure the unit is completely cool.
3. Open the Vacuum Lid.
4. Pick at either end of the Seal Bar Tape covering the Seal Bar Heating
Element with a fingernail until it lifts slightly. Grasp the loose end and slowly pull
the Seal Bar Tape back over itself until fully removed (Figure 8).
5. Make sure that there is no residue or adhesive left on the Seal Bar Heating
Element or the machine. Use a dry paper towel to remove and excess residue.
6. Remove the backing from a new strip of Seal Bar Tape from the Maintenance Kit
(Figure 9). Be careful not to allow the Seal Bar Tape to contact anything including
itself while the adhesive side is exposed.
7. Hold one end of the Seal Bar Tape in each hand. Stick the left end of the Seal
Bar Tape to the flat area on the Vacuum Lid just left of the Seal Bar Heating Element.
Apply the Seal Bar Tape from left to right over the Seal Bar Heating Element until
done. Make sure there are no wrinkles or folds in the Seal Bar Tape once applied.
The Seal Bar Tape should fully cover the Seal Bar Heating Element.
