CLEANING ALUMINUM UNCOATED HEAT PLATEN(S).
1. Unplug the machine and allow it to cool.
2. Open the heat platen for easier access.
3. Dampen a nonmetallic scrubbing sponge with a mild soap or deter-
gent to remove any excess material from the heat platen(s).

CLEANING PTFE COATED PLATEN(S) (OPTIONAL FEATURE).
1. Unplug the machine and allow it to cool.
2. Open the heat platen for easier access.
3. Clean the PTFE coated platen with a mild soap and warm water
applied with a soft cloth or sponge. Do not use steel wool, scrub

CLEANING OUTSIDE SURFACES OF THE MACHINE
Use a mild soap and warm water applied with a soft cloth or sponge.
Do not use steel wool, scrub sponges, kitchen or oven cleaners or other
abrasives that will damage the painted surface.
LUBRICATION
Your press requires lubrication every 15,000 cycles or every 6 months.
Lubricate weekly in a heavy use production environment. Use NSF/
NLG12 rated food grade grease (such as Bel-Ray No-Tox #2 or equiva-
lent). A general purpose food grade machine oil spray is also acceptable
such as CRC03055 lubricant (available from retailers such as Amazon).
Lubricate all moving or hinged points.
CIRCUIT BREAKER RESETTING
Should the circuit breaker trip, simply allow the machine to cool for 2
minutes and then reset the circuit breaker by pressing the button back in
to allow the machine to come back on. If the circuit breaker continues to
trip, have an electrician diagnose the cause of the fault.
