Fault Diagnostics / Maintenance
Before any maintenance work is carried out, both electrical and air supplies must be locked in the
OFF position. Only a qualified electrical technician may work on any parts carrying mains voltage.
That person is responsible for ensuring that the machine is in a safe condition before allowing
services to be restored.
Replace a damaged or worn seal
Remove the existing seal with a sharp knife. Remove as much of the original sealant as possible. Using
masking tape, make a frame inside where the seal will go (table) or outside (clamp) squeeze some glue
around the area where the seal is to be placed. Do not be too economical with the glue. Bed down a strip of
silicon seal until it is firmly seated in the glue.
Do not attempt to stretch the rubber seal, it will contract back to its original size before the glue is dry. Cut
the ends at 45 degrees. Continue this process for all 4 sides of the seal. Fill up any gaps in the mitred joints
with glue. Place masking tape over the mitred corners to help keep them firmly positioned until the glue is
dry.
Leave overnight, then remove masking tape and trim any excess glue off with a sharp knife.
We supply a kit comprising the necessary seal and glue for the IMD508
Cleaning
Ensure the inside of the machine and the heater tray is cleared of dust, dirt and debris. Do not allow dirt and
loose particles to build up, particularly on the heater tray.
