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.

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:
•
C l o u d y
– 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.
•
Wa v y
– 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.
•
S p o t t e d
– 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.
