INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

Inspection of Shipment  

After unpacking, check thoroughly for any damage which may have occurred in transit. Claims 
should be filed immediately with the transportation company. The warranty does not cover 
damage that occurs in transit, or damage caused by abuse, or consequential damage due to the 
operation of this machine, since it is beyond our control. 

Setup 

Your new floss machine unit is completely assembled and tested at the factory. Remove all 
packing material and tape before starting operation. 

1.

 

Lower the shipping bracket so the bell housing "floats" freely on the springs. Unscrew 
and push down the two knobs on each side of the cabinet top to lower the shipping 
bracket completely. 

2.

 

Make sure the floss ribbon(s) (heating element) located inside the head assembly has 
not shaken out of the band during transportation. If the ribbon is out of the band, push 
it back into place manually, before plugging in machine.
