5.1 Maintenance
Keep the hot-pressing device clean at all times. Clean the heating plates (4) regularly and remove all
material residues.
WARNING
For cleaning with a cloth moistened with water or solvent, the press must be
disconnected from the power supply.
Do not reconnect to the power supply until the press is completely dry.
Periodically inspect the power supply cable and connector plug for defects (insulation damage, etc.)
and rectify or replace with the correct type where necessary.
5.2
Measuring of the plate temperature
Check the operating temperature of the hot-pressing device once a month.
Carry out this check in an interior room in a draft-free environment with an ambient temperature of
between 18 °C /
64 °F
and 25 °C /
77 °F
Clamp sensor of temperature gauge between the heating plates (4) and heat for 5 minutes. Both
plates are thus measured jointly.
Heat up press for at least 5 minutes.
The operating temperature has been reached when the electronic control switches the heating on and
off in short intervals; the light indicator (2) will blink.
The temperature gauge ought to indicate 190°C ± 3°C /
374°F ± 5,4°F
If this is not the case, the temperature regulator has to be adjusted. See 5.3, Adjusting of the
thermostat.
