6 MAINTENANCE
6.1
Cleaning
The machine has to be cleaned regularly. Dirt and dust will have a negative influence on
the result of the lamination processes.
CAUTION:
Do not use abrasive materials for cleaning the machine. This can damage
the painted surfaces or the silicone covering of the rollers.
Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
CAUTION:
Make sure water does not run into any of the cabinets. This can damage the
electrical circuits when power is applied.
Clean the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth as needed. If necessary, use a
household-cleaning solution to remove difficult stains.
Clean the shafts and the rubber cords on it as required.
6.1.1 Cleaning the silicone covered rollers
The rollers must be cleaned regularly to prevent a build-up of adhesive residue. This may
eventually damage the rollers.
Use a damp lint-free cloth to remove dust and other dirt.
Use a silicon-cleaning block to remove the adhesive stains from the rollers.
Note:
Adhesive is easier to remove when the rollers are hot.
Put a waste panel between the rollers when cleaning the upper roller, to prevent adhesive
remnants from falling onto the lower roller.
WARNING:
MAKE SURE THE ROLLERS ARE COLD WHEN USING ALCOHOL FOR
CLEANING. ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL IS VERY EASY FLAMMABLE.
Difficult stains can be removed with the aid of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and a clean lint-free
cloth.
Do not pour isopropyl alcohol directly on the machine.
