6 JAW MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE SPARES
Under normal operating conditions it will be necessary to replace certain expendable items that
are readily available from our spares department. Use of non-Star genuine parts or the incorrect
part number can cause damage to the machine and invalidate the warranty.
Before replacing any sealing jaw items ensure the machine is switched off and unplugged.
Replacing consumable items
Barrier Tape: The barrier tape is a brown Teflon coated cloth designed to prevent plastic sticking
to the element ribbon. If this becomes burnt or damaged peel the old tape off, removing any
excess adhesive from the jaws. Take a length of new tape, remove one of the adhesive strips
and stick it to the front of the jaw, remove the other adhesive strip and stick to the back of the
jaw. The tape should be applied loosely so it is not in contact with the element ribbon when the
jaws are open.
