Cleaning the Melter
To prevent components from overheating due to heat build‐up or loss of air
circulation, regularly remove any hot melt that collects on the exterior of the
melter, hoses, and guns.
If hot melt inadvertently spills inside the melter's interior spaces, the side
panels can be removed in order to clean out the spilled hot melt.
WARNING! Risk of electrocution and fire! Do not clean the melter with a
direct stream of water or steam. Use only water or an appropriate,
non‐flammable cleaning solution that is applied using a clean cloth. Cleaning
the melter using a direct stream of water or steam or a flammable solvent can
result in property damage and personal injury, including death.
To clean the exterior of the melter
Use only cleaning compounds that are compatible with polyester.
Apply cleaning compounds using a soft cloth.
Do not use pointed or sharp tools to clean the exterior surface.
