IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

including the following:
• Read all instructions.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. NEVER TOUCH THE HEATING WIRE OR TOUCH
ANOTHER PERSON WITH THE HEATING WIRE. INJURY MAY OCCUR AS A
RESULT.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Never store in a drawer or conned area when the batteries are installed in the
Sealer. If the Heat Pad is depressed, the unit will turn-on and cause a potential
re hazard and will certainly be damaged.

is very sharp. Be sure to keep the Bag Sealer out of the reach of small children

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The Salton SmartsealerTM is portable as it can be operated by installing two ‘AA’
Alkaline batteries. Open the Battery Cover by sliding your thumb nail under the
Battery Cover and lift. Install the batteries and snap the Battery Cover back on.
The Salton SmartsealerTM has a built in magnetic bottom so it can be stored on the
front of your refrigerator, convenient and ready to use.
ABOUT THE SALTON SMARTSEALERTM
The Salton SmartsealerTM is easy to use. However, it does take a little practice to
get used to the ‘feel of the seal’. So take the time to read the instructions below
and learn about how the Salton SmartsealerTM works. You’ll quickly get the ‘feel
of the seal’. Always use light pressure, just enough pressure to depress the
Heat Pad using the Press Bar. The Salton SmartsealerTM is a heat sealer, not a
pressure sealer. So press, don’t squeeze.
HOW TO USE
Install 2 ‘AA’ batteries. Take the heat sealable bag and smooth out the top of the
bags edges evenly to eliminate wrinkles. The insides of the bag’s edges must be
able to touch one another. No food, dirt, or oil should be between the inner
walls of the bag where the seal is to be made. Place the open bag to be sealed
into the Salton SmartsealerTM. Hold the bag in one hand and the Sealer in the other
hand. Preheat the SmartsealerTM by holding down the Press Bar until it engages
the Heat Pad. Hold the Press Bar in this position for 3 seconds, before you start to
move the sealer across the bag to be sealed as this preheats the Heat Wire, then
begin to make the seal. The Salton SmartsealerTM only needs to be preheated one
time per use. Use light pressure. Press don’t squeeze.

IMPORTANT NOTES
While virtually all plastic and foil bags are heat sealable, a few are not. The Salton
SmartsealerTM can be operated equally easy by either a right or left handed person.
Most plastic or foil bags used by manufacturers to store food have a seam running
vertically on the backside of the bag from the top to the bottom. Start the seal
so that the initial seal line runs across the seam moving in the direction of the
seam. HINT: Position the bag either to the left or right of center and initiate the
sealing point so that you slide the Sealer in the same direction as the seam of the
bag to be sealed, not against the seam. Applying light pressure slide the Sealer
over the bag on a line where you want the bag sealed. Be sure to seal from your
starting point, then across the edge of the bag. Now turn the bag over. Start to
seal the open side of the bag by crossing the initial seal line with the second seal
line then continue across the other edge of the bag. The time you take to move
the Sealer across the bag should be determined by the thickness of the bag. For
example, thin sandwich bags can be sealed by moving the Sealer quickly across
the bag while thicker bags used for frozen foods or snack foods may require a
slower motion. Have patience when rst using the Salton SmartsealerTM. It takes
some practice to become comfortable with the sealing motion. If any part of the
bag is not sealed entirely when the sealing motion is complete, simply re-apply the
Salton SmartsealerTM to the unsealed spot and move it over the area until a seal
is achieved. Make sure that the interior walls of the bag are clean and that the
opposite interior walls of the bag are touching one another.
ABOUT THE BAG CUTTER
This feature makes the Salton SmartsealerTM a very versatile appliance. While
holding the Sealer in your hand, use the tip of the index nger on your other hand
to ip-open the Bag Cutter. Open all the way. Smooth the bag to be opened and
insert the edge of the bag into the slot of the Bag Cutter. Move the Bag Cutter
across the bag slitting it open as required.
