CLEANING ALUMINUM UNCOATED HEAT PLATEN(S).
1.
Unplug the machine and allow it to cool.
2.
Open the heat platen for easier access.
3. Dampen a nonmetallic scrubbing sponge with a mild soap or detergent to remove any
excess material from the heat platen(s).

CLEANING PTFE COATED PLATEN(S)
(OPTIONAL FEATURE).
1.
Unplug the machine and allow it to cool.
2.
Open the heat platen for easier access.
3. Clean the PTFE coated platen with a mild soap and warm water applied with a soft
cloth or sponge. Do not use steel wool, scrub sponges, kitchen or oven cleaners or any
other kind of abrasive material. This will damage the coating.
4. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
CLEANING OUTSIDE SURFACES OF THE MACHINE
Use a mild soap and warm water applied with a soft cloth or sponge. Do not use steel wool,
scrub sponges, kitchen or oven cleaners or other abrasives that will damage the painted
surface.
LUBRICATION
Your press requires lubrication every 15,000 cycles or every 6 months. Lubricate weekly
in a heavy use production environment. Use NSF/NLG12 rated food grade grease (such
as Bel-Ray No-Tox #2 or equivalent). A general purpose food grade machine oil spray is
also acceptable such as CRC03055 lubricant (available from retailers such as Amazon).
Lubricate all moving or hinged points.
CIRCUIT BREAKER RESETTING
Should the circuit breaker trip, simply allow the machine to cool for 2 minutes and then
reset the circuit breaker by pressing the button back in to allow the machine to come back
on. If the circuit breaker continues to trip, have an electrician diagnose the cause of the
fault.
