You may need these for shipping your machine or if a repair is necessary
in the future.

Inspect your machine for hidden shipping damage. Contact the delivery
company immediately, should you nd damage.
PLATEN SURFACE
Slight surface imperfections are a normal part of the aluminum casting
process for the platens on your press. These are not considered a defect
and do not affect the functionality of the machine in any way.
SHIPPING OR RETURNS
NOTE: Save all of your shipping/packing materials.
DO NOT RISK COSTLY SHIPPING DAMAGE!
SHIP ONLY IN ORIGINAL BOX.
1. Fasten machine to plywood shipping base with bolts provided.
2. Make sure handle is pressed down so that the upper platen will not

OPERATION
PRESSURE
1. The pressure control knob, located at the top / rear of the machine,
should be set so that the teeth of the docking platen just touch the
lower platen.
WARNING: Make all adjustments while press is open. Adjusting the
thickness while under pressure will result in damage to the
press.
2. Pressure is reduced by turning knob (with machine open) counter-
clockwise and increased by turning it clockwise.
NOTE: Adjustments may be required from one product to another and will
vary to achieve the desired result.
CAUTION: Excessive pressure can cause structural damage, voiding the
machine warranty!
3. To set the nished product thickness, turn the dial on the top of the
machine as indicated.

OPERATION
DOCKING PRODUCT
Your doughXpress DXDD docking press is designed for easy use and will
reliably dock your dough.
Your DXDD docking press is designed to dock dough in diameters from 8”
up to 18” in steps of 2”.
1. Make sure the size of dough that will be docked matches that of the
docking platen. Interchange the docking platen if necessary.
2. Move the magnetic stoppers to the appropriate notch for docking the
size of dough you wish. [See Figure 1]
NOTE: When docking an 18” dough, no stoppers will be used. Simply line
up the try with the lower platen.
3. Place the pressed dough on a baking tray.
4. Slide the baking tray on to the lower platen of the DXDD up to the
stoppers to assure dough and tray are perfectly centered under the
docking platen.
5. Make sure the docking platen is swung above dough. Docking arm
will reach a stop when it is directly above the lower platen. Using the
handle, lower the docking platen until the teeth of the docking platen
sufciently press the dough.
NOTE: Minimal pressure is needed to effectively dock dough. Pressing too
hard can break the teeth or damage the press in other ways and
void the warranty.
6. Lift the handle to the locked position and swing docking platen away
from lower platen.

CLEANING / MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE PLATENS
1. Swing the upper platen away for easier access.
2. Use a soap or detergent and nonmetallic scrubbing sponge to remove
any excess material from the platens.
WARNING: Do not use abrasives such as steel wool scrubbies, kitchen
cleansers, griddle cleaner, or griddle bricks or any other kind
of abrasive material. This will damage the coating.
CLEANING XYLAN COATED PLATENS
You may clean the Xylan coated platens with a mild soap and warm water.
Use a soft cloth or sponge. Do not use steel wool, scrubbies, kitchen
cleansers, or other abrasives. None abrasive oven cleaners are acceptable.
CLEANING OUTSIDE SURFACES OF MACHINE
Use a mild soap and warm water with a soft cloth or sponge. Do not use
steel wool, kitchen cleansers, or other abrasives.
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 equivalent). 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.
