Initial Setup

1. Inspect the Packaging: Carefully examine the cup sealer's packaging for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping.
2. Unboxing: Open the packaging with care. Use scissors or a box cutter to cut open the box, taking precautions to avoid damaging the cup sealer or its components.
3. Remove All Components: Take the cup sealer and any included accessories out of the box, ensuring that all parts are accounted for.
4. Placement: Ensure a minimum clearance of 6" on all sides of the cup sealer to ensure proper airflow. Avoid positioning the cup sealer directly adjacent to a heat source. Place the cup sealer on a stable surface near an electrical outlet. It is required to place the cup sealer in a climate-controlled room to enhance its durability. Level placement is crucial for the cup sealer to work effectively.

Assembly

Adjustable Parts

1. Adapter Rings: Use either the cup sealer's 95mm lower mold, or 88mm or 90 mm included adapter rings to match your cup's diameter.
2. Cup Jack Height: Adjust the cup jack height to ensure that the cup does not touch the lower mold when in the outward position. Improper adjustment can affect the seal and result in sealing issues.

Sealing Film Installation

The process involves several steps:

1. Remove Clamps: On the right side of the machine, remove the butterfly clamp, spring, and washer. To remove the butterfly clamp, grasp both metal "wings" and compress by pushing the two "wings" towards each other. The spring, film clamps, and washer should then easily slide off the shaft.
2. Install Film Roll: Slot the narrow side of the film clamp into the roll of film. Make sure that the large side of the film clamp is flush with the roll. Note: If the film roll is not properly seated, it may shift during operation, causing the machine to malfunction and not properly seal cups.
3. Reattach Clamps: Reinsert the film roll into the right arm. Then reattach the washer, spring, and butterfly clamp to the right arm. Note: Make sure that the end of the roll of film unrolls from the bottom of the roll and away from the machine.
4. Left Side: Repeat Step 1 on the left side of the machine.
5. Install Discharge Roll: Place the plastic discharge roll between the two plastic film clamps, ensuring that the steel bar is positioned correctly.
6. Reattach Washer and Butterfly Clamp: Reinsert the discharge roll into the left arm. Then reattach the washer, spring, and butterfly clamp to the left arm. Ensure the roll rotates counterclockwise.
7. Position Film: Ensure film is positioned under the retention nut and through the film sensor on the right side of the machine.
8. Feed the Film: Feed the film through the bottom of the machine, making sure that the film is below the plastic rollers and over the steel bars.
9. Reassemble: Attach film to the discharge roll by removing the front plastic clamp and feeding the film through the slit. Replace the front plastic clamp, with the steel bar securing the film in place. Then, reattach the washer, spring, and butterfly clamp. The film is now properly installed and ready to use.

Cleaning

1. Emptying: Ensure that the cup sealer is empty and free from any food residues before proceeding.
2. Unplug: For safety, always unplug the cup sealer from the electrical outlet before cleaning to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
3. Gloves: Wearing gloves is recommended. This helps protect your hands from grease or any sharp edges.
4. Between Uses: Wipe down the cup sealer with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Ensure that you have removed any food particles. Always make sure the cup sealer is cool before cleaning.
5. Water Temperature: Use warm water combined with a gentle dish detergent to clean the removable parts.
6. Soft Sponge: Always use a non-abrasive sponge to prevent scratching any of the cup sealer's surfaces.
7. Wiping Down Exterior: Regularly wipe down the exterior and the lower mold of the cup sealer to prevent buildup and maintain its appearance.
8. Cleaning Sensor: Wipe all faces of the cup and film sensors with a damp rag and dry to ensure consistent and effective use.
9. Air Dry: Allow all removable parts to air dry in a well-ventilated area. Ensure that they are entirely dry before reassembling.
10. Inspection: Before reassembly, make sure all parts are clean, sanitized, and completely dry.

Start-Up Procedure

1. Plug in the Cup Sealer:
   • Before plugging in, ensure all settings on the cup sealer are in the "OFF" position and all components are installed according to the user manual.
   • Connect the appliance to a dedicated circuit with the appropriate breaker size, as specified on the data plate.
2. Powering Up:
   • Plug in the cup sealer. The power indicator light will turn on, indicating that the unit is receiving power.
   • Press the power button to activate the cup sealer. The lower mold will extend outward while the upper mold heats up automatically.
3. Preheat:
   • After 5 to 7 minutes, the temperature indicator light will turn off, signaling that the upper mold has reached the desired temperature and the machine is ready for use.
   • Note: The unit has a thermostat that cycles the heating element on and off to maintain a close temperature range to the set temperature. It is common for this light to turn on and off.
   • Note: The automatic sealing mode becomes available once the temperature indicator light turns off. If the machine has not reached the desired temperature, it can only be operated manually.
4. Choose Mode:
   • Press the Auto/Manual Toggle button to switch between the two modes.
5. Sealing Cup:
   • Place a cup securely in the lower mold. In automatic mode, the machine will retract the cup and seal it automatically. In manual mode, press the Start button to retract the lower mold and seal the cup.
6. Removal:
   • Once the cup is sealed, remove it from the lower mold.

Safety

• Never insert your hands into the cup sealing machine during use.
• If the safety bar is pressed during operation, the unit will automatically stop, emit a beep, and display an error code.

Long-Term Storage

• After using and cleaning the equipment, turn off and unplug the machine.
• Store the cup sealer in a dry place, preferably covered, to protect it from dust and maintain its longevity.

Maintenance

Regular Cleaning

Daily Wipe

Purpose: To prevent the buildup of food particles, grime, and bacteria, which could affect the quality of the food and the machine's overall performance.

1. Turn off the machine and disconnect it from the power source.
2. Please perform a complete cleaning process as outlined in the “Cleaning” section.
3. Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe down all exterior surfaces.
4. Dry all wiped areas with a clean, dry towel to prevent moisture buildup.
5. Inspect the upper and lower molds and wipe them clean with a damp cloth to prevent dirt, dust, or residue from beverages adhering to the heating plate.
6. Ensure both the right and left lower mold slides remain clean and properly lubricated to maintain smooth movement. Failure to do so may result in uneven motion of the lower mold.
7. Wipe all faces of the cup sensor found below the lower mold and film sensor on the right side of the machine with a damp cloth and dry to ensure consistent and effective use.

Monthly Checks

Inspect for Wear

Purpose: To regularly check all components for signs of wear, tear, or damage, and replace as necessary.

1. Turn off and disconnect the machine from the power source.
2. Wait 30 minutes for the heating element to cool.
3. Inspect the plug and cord for any indications of excessive wear, which may encompass discoloration, burn marks, cuts, and tears.
4. Check the integrity of electrical cords and plug points.
