self-cleaning cutters (7)
After emptying and replacing a full bin, the shredder will run in forward for 4 seconds, stop for
2 seconds and then reverse for 4 seconds to clear away any remaining paper from the cutter
mechanism. This unique ‘self-cleaning’ mechanism is additional jam prevention technology
from Kensington.
over heating
If the OfficeAssist™ A3000 is used continuously for over 16 minutes the shredder may overheat
and the cool down indicator will flash red ( ). Please allow the shredder to cool down. When
the shredder is ready to be used the thermometer symbol will no longer illuminate. If the shredder
needs to cool down while shredding, no action is needed. The shredder will automatically restart
shredding paper once it has cooled down after periods of continuous use. All you need to do is
ensure paper is loaded into the chamber and the bin is empty when the machine is cooling down.
