Maintenance

To keep your laminator free of adhesives that could hurt the quality of your work, you should clean the rollers from time to time, or frequently, depending on how often you use the machine. The best way is to do this right after you have finished hot laminating, because the rollers will still be hot, which is necessary for the cleaning process.

To clean the rollers:

• Press temperature button

if it is not already on this setting

•Wait for the readiness light and signal, if necessary

•Insert the cleaning sheet included in the package, repeating one or two times

•Insert a plain white sheet of paper to test for remaining traces, and

•Reinsert the cleaning sheet, if necessary, and retest.

To clean the exterior of your machine, just wipe with a soft cloth dampened with plain water.

Troubleshooting

If the motor does not start at all when you press the power button, it is most likely because the cover is not completely open. Check behind the machine to make sure noth- ing is in the way.

If you are not getting the quality you should be, you can probably solve the problem quickly. If, for example, your end product is:

•Cloudy – The temperature is too low or the filled pouch too thick. Try passing it through the machine one or more times, or raising the temperature if you can. Otherwise, choose a thinner pouch or reduce the weight or thickness of the contents.

•Wavy – The temperature is too high. Turn the machine to the lower setting. Pa s s i n g through the cleaning sheet will help cool down the rollers and reduce the amount of time you have to wait.

•Spotted – The rollers have deposits of adhesive. Follow the cleaning procedure, as described under M a i n t e n a n c e.

•Open on edges – Your contents are too close to the edge of the pouch to create a strong seal. Next time make sure your contents are at least 3 mm, or 1/8 inch, from the unsealed edges of the pouch.

If a pouch is not going in straight or gets stuck in the rollers, you can realign or remove it as follows: Turn off the machine, then press and slide the motor release button G over and up to the higher position, as shown at the right. This will disengage the roller drive, enabling you to adjust the pouch or pull it back out of the entry. Press and slide the button back to its original position to continue laminating.
