INSTALLATION

The environment for the sealer should be clean and dust-free.

. After unpacking the sealer, place it at the desired position. This should

1

be a flat and firm surface.

2. Make sure, the voltage and frequency match those specified for the sealer. (Important

for warranty cases).

3. Put the lever in the upright position.

4. Connect the sealer to the mains.

Now the sealer is installed.
Fill out the guarantee-card and send it in, in the supplied envelop.

START-UP

) REMARK:

The sealer can seal all sterilisation-packaging materials.
The sealer with roll-support and a cutting device can be used to seal roll-material as well.

* Important:

Both sealers are built for short time use, this means, the sealers are not built for
continuous use. When the sealers are used for a long period of time, it will start to heat
up and switch off at a certain temperature. After about 15 minutes, the sealer can be
used again.
To prevent this from happening, please notice the following:
Seal-frequency: Pause of 15 minutes after ... seals
1 /Min - -
2-3 /Min 200
4-5 /Min 100
from 5 /Min 50

HOW TO USE THE SEALER

1. Put the adjust-knob “sealing time” to "0" (fig. 1).

By turning the adjust-knob clockwise the sealing-time can be adjusted.

) Advise: Increase the sealing-time in small amount starting from "0".

2. Place the material to be sealed between the sealing-bars. Make sure, the paper-

material is below and the foil-material is on top.

3. Close the sealing-bars by pushing the lever down.

Warning:
Do not seal without any material and do not place any objects besides
pouches between the sealing-bars! In this way you will prevent the PTFE-

material from getting damaged. Damaged parts will produced a bad seal.

4. After the lever is in its lowest position, you can hear two sounds; one low tone and

one high tone.
ÖLow means: The sealing-bar is being heated.
ÖHigh means: The produced heat is now sealing the pouch.

5. After the tones have stopped, you can put the lever back in the upright position.

The sealing-procedure has ended.
After you have adjusted the sealer to the optimal sealing-time-adjustment for one specific

material, you could memorise this position for further use.
Most laminate-sterilisation pouches can be sealed at a 2-3 seconds adjustment.

* Important:

To make sure, your sealer always produces a good quality seal, we advise you to check
the sealing result at least once every week.
