one way into a grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug
by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not

replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the
hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord
is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of
the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance.
Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.
Thermal Overload Protection
The vacuum sealer will automatically shut off if it overheats. If this occurs,
unplug the unit and open the vacuum lid. Resume normal operation after the
unit cools or about 20 minutes.
Always allow 20 seconds minimum for cool down between operations.
