Is this black seal important or necessary for the heating strip to work properly. Can we just remove it, or do we need a replacement? </h2> <div class="bvseo-question-detail"> </div> <div class="bvseo-author">Asked by: IL Gma</div> <div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="8923041"> Hello,&#10;&#10;Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your FM2100 Vacuum Sealing System. Based on your description, it sounds like you&#39;re referring to the protective tape that covers the heating element. This tape is an important part of the sealing process, as it protects the heating element and helps prevent bags from sticking while creating a proper seal.&#10;&#10;We do not recommend removing or operating the vacuum sealer without this tape. If it has become wrinkled, torn, or split, it should be replaced before further use.&#10;&#10;To confirm whether this is the part you&#39;re referring to, please contact us directly with a photo of the area in question and your vacuum sealer model number. We&#39;ll be happy to confirm the part and advise on the appropriate replacement, if available. You can reach us via the &#39;Contact Us&#39; form on our official website.
