3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1 Place the sealer on a well-lit firm level surface with a
suitable working height.
3.2 It is best to position the sealer away from direct sunlight
and other direct heat sources such as ovens.
3.3
A distance of at least 10 cm from walls and other appliances
will help with ventilation and ease of use.

3.4 Assemble and attach the sealing-film roll holder: -
a) Loosen the set of four screws at the rear of the sealer
by 3 complete turns,
b) then assemble the four
roll-holder components,
c) and whilst holding them together, position over the
screw heads, lower and then slide the assembly back
towards you.
d) The final step is to re-tighten the four screws.

4.0 INSTALLING THE ROLL OF SEALING FILM
4.1 Place the roll on the roll-holder at the rear of the sealer,
with the start of the roll facing up.
4.2 Unwind 15 – 20 cm of the roll and feed it under the film
holder and over the film-grips. Please note that it is the
inside of the film that should be in contact with the
ready-meal tray.
3.5 The power lead should be plugged into a compatible
earthed socket to which you have access to at all times for
emergency unplugging.

5.0 INSTALLING THE TRAY-MOUNT
5.1 The tray-mount holds and supports the ready-meal tray
so that a perfect seal is created around each compartment.
5.2 Each tray configuration (1-compartment, 2-compartment
or 3-compartment) has its own specific tray-mount.
5.3 Lift up the lid of the sealer and identify the two tray-
mount locating studs. You will see one on either side,
just in front of the film grips.
5.4 Select the appropriate tray-mount and position it, silicon
beading side uppermost, so that the locating holes fit
over the locating studs.

6.0 THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER
6.1 The temperature controller displays:
a) The target temperature of the pressure-plate.
b) The actual temperature of the pressure-plate.
c) The status of the actual temperature compared to the
target temperature (above, below or the same)
7.0 USING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER
7.1 After switching the sealer on, the display will show the
actual temperature of the pressure-plate.
7.2 To set the target temperature, press button A (The
indicator light SP will illuminate.)
a) Press button Cto increase the value,
b) and button Bto decrease it.
Once you have set the target temperature, press button Ato
confirm it. (The indicator light SP will extinguish, and the target
temperature will be stored in the memory.)
The indicator light OUT will illuminate to show that the
pressure-plate is heating, and will extinguish as the actual
temperature approaches the target temperature.

12.0 FAQ
Q: Can I change the tray-mount?

one and put in the new one. Be careful not to burn yourself
on the pressure-plate.

to ensure that a perfect seal is created around each
compartment.
Q: Where can I purchase new tray-mounts?
A: Please contact your WIMEX distributor.
Q: Can I use non-WIMEX tray-mounts, ready-meal trays or
sealing film?
