Installing New Replacement Parts.
1. Remove the backing of the liner found on the PTFE adhesive.
2. Apply it to the sealer’s sealing platform. The PTFE adhesive must always extend past the sealing
platform by approximately ¼” to ½” on both ends. Bend down the excess on both ends. (The
PTFE adhesive acts a barrier between the metal body and the heating element. Never allow the
heating element to come in direct contact with the sealer’s body because it will damage the timer.)
3. Place a new element on top of the PTFE adhesive by screwing the element in the heating terminal
assembly block. To attach the element to the other side, lift the latch found on the heating
terminal block to push the block inward and securely screw the element to the block. Check the
elements to ensure it is tight and intact.

4. Cut off any worn out PTFE cover. Ease out enough footage of PTFE cover to cover the heating
element and extend to the front of the PTFE cover plate.
