BATTERY INSTALLATION
UNDERSTANDING BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHT
Prior to first use you will need to install and charge the rechargeable battery. Follow steps below:
1. Place Vacuum Food Sealer upside down on a clean, soft surface (such as a towel or cloth).
This will protect the finish from scratches.
2. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove two captured screws located on Battery
Compartment Door.
3. Plug in Battery Connector. Battery Connector is keyed and will only connect in one direction.
Do not force.
4. Replace Battery Compartment Door and tighten screws, making sure that battery wires are
clear of the door and screws.
5. Attach Power Cord at rear of unit and plug into AC outlet.
6. Charge for 12 or more hours before first use. See instructions below to check battery status to
verify when fully charged.
Your Seal-a-Meal
®
Cord/Cordless Vacuum Food Sealer can be used both plugged in and without a
cord for added flexibility. The convenient Battery Indicator Light will keep you informed of the
battery charge.
Before you prepare bags for vacuum sealing in the cordless mode, it is recommended to check the
battery status. Battery status should also be checked if Sealer has been in storage.
To check the status:
Press the Vacuum and Seal Buttons at the same time, the Battery Indicator Light will show the following
battery levels:
•Green = fully charged
•Yellow = low charge, recommend charging
Red = battery needs to be charged before use
During cordless operation the Battery Indicator will also illuminate when either the Vacuum or Seal
Buttons are pressed.
When using with AC Power Cord plugged in, the Battery Indicator Light will always be on to indicate
the charge status. Sealer is fully charged when Battery Indicator Light turns green.
