POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than

intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the

plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into
the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)

An extension cord may be used when care is exercised in its use. When
an extension cord is used the marked electrical rating of the electrical
cord shall be the same or more than the rating of the sealer. The
extension cord shall be arranged so that it does not drape over the
counter top where it is capable of being tripped over, snagged, or pulled
on unintentionally, especially by children.

Always use Food Sealer on a level, flat surface.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts
inside. Power unit never needs lubrication. Do not attempt to service this
product. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Seal-a-Meal®bags are provided in two different ways – on customizable
Rolls (8" and 11" wide) and pre-cut bags (1-Quart and 1-Gallon sizes).
Our durable bags are made of high-density material that can be frozen,
boiled, are microwave safe and are reusable. The pattern that appears on
the bag helps provide an airtight seal that lasts longer than standard zip
or sandwich bags.

on the wall.

2. Hammer one screw anchor into each wall hole.

3. Screw the screws into screw anchors leaving 8 mm head outside of
the wall.
