SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The Salton Smartsealer
TM
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 Smartsealer
TM
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 SMARTSEALER
TM
The Salton Smartsealer
TM
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 Smartsealer
TM
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 Smartsealer
TM
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 Smartsealer
TM
. Hold the bag in one hand and the Sealer in the other
hand. Preheat the Smartsealer
TM
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 Smartsealer
TM
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
Smartsealer
TM
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 Smartsealer
TM
. 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 Smartsealer
TM
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 Smartsealer
TM
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.
