Cleaning and maintenance
The unit should only be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use any solvents or other
cleaning agents. To ensure that the unit maintains its full suction the rubber seals require
replacing once a year. The new seals should be firmly pushed into position.
We wish to advise you that the unit should only be used for its intended purpose, in case of
non-observance we cannot take any liability or guarantee for damages.
Operation:
to 7: Put the thermoforming material into the foil frame
(H)(ill. 7), insert the foil cover ring (I) and secure by
rotating the securing screws (J).
8. On completion of the heating up period an acoustic
signal and a green light will switch on. The foil frame is
moved backwards by handle (G) under the heating
element (ill. 8) until the stop is reached.
9. The required heating time is displayed and runs
automatically. Control light green. The vacuum pump is
automatically switched on 1 min. before completion of
the heating process.
10. After completion of the heating time an acoustic signal
is sounded, the display shows 0.00 and the control light
goes out. Move the foil frame rapidly over the model
(ill. 9) and downwards (ill. 10).
11. The deepest position of the foil frame provides by a
contact an immediate vacuum. It is sufficient to press
the frame totally downwards without a special effort.
12. The thermoforming material is now formed and the
vacuum pump continues to run for 1 min. Then the
vacuum is released and the thermoformed foil can be
taken out (ill. 11). It may be necessary to allow thicker
materials to continue to cool down before removing
them from the unit.
13. The heating time entered before is flashing in the
display. If the thermoforming procedure shall be
continued, either change the time for another foil or
confirm. The procedure will then pass again.
Otherwise switch off the machine at the main switch.
Advice:
The heating element automatically extinguishes after
app. 20 sec. if the following working steps are not
made. Once the heater has gone out, the programm
will have to be repeated.

Installation instructions
The ERKOFORM-RVE is connected to electricity independent on compressed air equipment.
In order to avoid water getting into the appliance (for example water splashes), the appliance
should be installed in dry conditions.
When working with the ERKOFORM-RVE unit, please observe the general instructions for
avoidance of accidents. If the appliance is not used, separate it from electricity.
Supplies:
188 000 ERKOFORM-RVE

granules, collecting con-
tainer for filling granules

Operation:
The machine should always be filled with granules (ill. 1).
To fill it in, hold on the foil frame (H) and lift it upwards with
the aid of the handle (G) and turn forwards round the pivot
until the stop is reached. Smooth out granules. Surplus gra-
nules should be brushed away with supplied brush and col-
lected in the granule overflow reservoir (L). Please ensure
that no granules remain on the seals. Recommendation:
Test the movement of the foil frame when the appliance is
switched off. The below instructions relate to the construc-
tion of a splint made from ERKODUR thickness 1 mm.
Please note that other thicknesses and materials require
different heating time.
1. Switch on main switch (A).
2. The visual display flashes (D).
3. Enter heating time referring to our recommended time
chart (foil heating times) by pressing switch (C) (ill. 2),
ERKODUR 1 mm = 50 sec. (press top of switch to
increase time, press bottom of switch to decrease time,
to speed press switch firmly).
4. Confirm the heating time by pressing switch (B) (ill. 3).
This will initiate the pre-heating time 1.45 (105 sec.).
Keep the switch pressed until the time at the visual
display changes to 1.45. The red control light becomes
illuminated (E). If the unit remains switched on, the pre-
heating time for all further thermoforming processes
will be 1 min. 30 sec. The change of the pre-heating
time will be made automatically so that the operation
will be as usual.
5. If not already done, move foil frame (H) upwards and
then forwards.
6. Place the model in filling granules (ill. 4) or on top of
the net model support (K) (ill. 5). If this support is set in,
the filling granules should be level with the top of the
form pot so that the support lies flatly (this can be done
before entering the heating time).
7. Release the foil cover ring (I) by rotating the securing
screws (J) and take it off (ill. 6).
Putting into operation
Fit the supplied plug in the
rear socket of the machi-
ne. Plug in at the wall sok-
ket, the unit is operational.
ATTENTION! Security advices
Do not touch heater - hot surface!
Operate the unit only under supervision.
Do not keep slightly inflammable materials in direct area
of the machine. Heat and work only with suitable thermo-
forming materials.
