Proluxe machines are relatively maintenance
free. For a long lifespan, the following
preventative maintenance should be
followed:
Daily Care:
1.
Platens:
Turn your machine off and allow
to cool down before attempting to clean.
These platens should only be cleaned with
mild soap and warm water then wiped off
with a clean, soft cloth or soft sponge.
2.
Exterior surfaces:
Wipe daily with mild
soap and warm water will do the job quite
nicely.
DO NOT use ice or cold water to cool the
unit down. This can cause platens to warp.
Piston Maintenance:
In order to ensure pop and trouble free
operation of the press piston, it is important
that the machine be lubricated once every
three months, under normal operation. High
volume users may require more frequent
lubrication.
Please follow these instructions:
1. Locate the grease port on the
machine. Machines with pull down
arms have a single grease port
located below the upper head on the
right side of the vertical post.
2. Place grease gun head against grease
port and apply enough pressure to
allow gun head to engage the grease
port.
3. Squeeze handle of grease gun. This
will force the grease into the piston.
The lubricant use must be USDA-H-I
authorized for food machinery. This lubricant
can be ordered through Proluxe, part #
110-002.
Service Problems:
Contact our factory at (800) 624-6717 (U.S.
only) or approved service agency. When
contacting the factory for information, parts
or service instructions, please provide the
serial number of the machine be provided.
This number can be found on the serial plate
located on the rear of the machine.
