4.1 Switching the device on
• Move the On/Off switch (5) to the "COLD" or "HOT" position to switch the device on.
• The Power status LED (7) lights up solid blue.
4.2 Cold lamination
• Move the On/Off switch (5) to the "COLD" position for cold lamination.
Note
• If hot lamination was carried out beforehand, it can take up to around 40 minutes
before the device has fully cooled.
• Special pouches are needed for cold lamination. The seal is created with pressure
rather than heat. It is not permanent and does not offer one hundred per cent
protection against oxygen and water. The process is suitable for heat-sensitive
documents, such as thermal paper, till receipts, driving licences or laser copies. In
other words, anything that would be damaged or altered by hot lamination.
• Wait until the Ready status LED (6) lights up solid red. The device is cool or is not
heating up.
• Place the object to be laminated in the corresponding cold lamination pouch.
• Guide the pouch into the middle of the front opening (4) on the device. Ensure that the
sealed end (see Fig. 2) is introduced first.
• The document is output again at the back (1).
• If the document has not been fully laminated, repeat the initial steps.
• To interrupt the lamination process (e.g. if the intake angle is incorrect), press the roller
unlocking button (2) and correct the position of the pouch.
4.3 Hot lamination
• For hot lamination, move the On/Off switch (5) to the "HOT" position.
Warning - Danger of burns on the housing
• Do not touch the housing.
• Be aware that laminated objects are hot.
• Place the laminated object on a level surface to cool down in order to prevent it
from curling up.
Note
Special pouches
are needed for hot lamination. They are sealed using heat. This seal
is permanent and cannot be undone. Only objects that are insensitive to heat should
be laminated. From a pouch edge of around 4 mm, the objects are protected so they
are virtually waterproof. The thickness of the pouch determines the object's stability /
kink protection.
• The Ready LED (6) lights up solid red once the required temperature has been reached.
• Place the object to be laminated in the corresponding hot lamination pouch.
• Guide the pouch into the middle of the front opening (4) on the device. Ensure that the
sealed end (see Fig. 2) is introduced first.
• The document is output again at the back (1).
• If the document has not been fully laminated, repeat the initial steps.
• To interrupt the lamination process (e.g. if the intake angle is incorrect), press the roller
unlocking button (2) and correct the position of the pouch.
4.4 Switching the device off
• Move the On/Off switch (5) to the "OFF" position to switch the device off.
• Both status LEDs (6/7) go out.
• Remove the mains lead from the socket.
• Allow the device to cool down completely before tidying it away.
5. Care and maintenance
Danger – risk of death from electric shock
Disconnect the mains plug from the socket before starting any cleaning work.
Warning - Danger of burns on the housing
Do not touch the housing.
Warning - damage to the device from moisture
Ensure, when cleaning, that no moisture penetrates the device in order to avoid
irreparable damage to it.
The rollers on the laminator must be regularly cleared of dust and any glue residue. To do
so, proceed as follows:
• Switch the device on - as described in 4.1 Switching the device on .
• Move the On/Off switch (5) to the "HOT" position.
• Wait until the Ready status LED (6) lights up solid red.
• Guide a piece of paper into the middle of the front opening (4).
• Repeat the process if there is a lot of dirt on the paper.
• Clean the outside of the device with a slightly damp cloth.
6. Troubleshooting
Error Possible cause Remedy
The Power LED (7) does
not light up solid blue.
The On/Off switch (5) is in
the "OFF" position.
Move the On/Off switch
(5) to the "COLD" or
"HOT" position.
The mains cable (3) is not
connected correctly.
Ensure that the mains
plug is in the mains
socket.
The socket is not live. Check the domestic fuses.
The device is faulty. Notify Customer Services.
Pouches are not
laminated correctly.
The required temperature
has not yet been reached.
Wait until the Ready
status LED (6) lights up
solid red.
