the Seal Bar Tape back over itself until fully
removed.
5. Remove the backing from a new strip of Seal Bar Tape. Be careful not to allow the
Seal Bar Tape to contact anything including itself while the adhesive side is exposed.

Seal Bar Tape in each hand. Stick the left end of the Seal Bar
Tape to the flat area on the Base just left of the Seal Bar Heating Element. Apply the

Stainless Steel Lid. If it is not, then the Lid Screws may be improperly installed (i.e.
crooked or not tight enough).
