Operating Instructions
Sealing Bags
To seal a bag and preserve its contents:
- Ensure the bag is clean and dry at the sealing point.
- Place the bag opening between the sealing plates of the device.
- Press the upper cover down firmly to activate the heating element.
- While maintaining pressure, slowly and steadily slide the sealer along the edge of the bag to create a tight seal. A consistent speed is crucial for an effective seal.
- Release the pressure once the seal is complete.
Cutting Bags
To use the built-in cutter:
- Push the slide button on the top of the device forward to expose the cutting blade.
- Carefully slide the blade along the desired line to open the bag.
- Retract the blade after use for safety.
Note: The device does not require preheating. The heating film instantly reaches sealing temperature upon pressing the upper cover.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the sealer with a soft, dry cloth. Do not immerse the device in water or use abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the sealer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high humidity. The magnetic base allows it to be conveniently stored on a refrigerator or other metal surfaces.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the sealing performance diminishes. Always use new AA batteries.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sealer not heating or sealing effectively. | Low or dead batteries; incorrect battery polarity; bag material too thick or unsuitable; insufficient pressure or speed during sealing. | Replace batteries with new ones, ensuring correct polarity. Check bag thickness (should be no more than 0.3mm) and material (PP, PE, PVC, coated aluminum foil recommended). Apply firm, consistent pressure and slide slowly. |
| Bag tears during sealing. | Too much pressure; sliding too slowly; bag material too thin. | Reduce pressure slightly. Increase sliding speed. Ensure bag material is appropriate thickness. |
| Cutter not working. | Blade not fully extended; dull blade (unlikely for new product). | Ensure the slide button is pushed completely forward to expose the blade. |
