—Useful Information —
1. You can preset up to 9 temperature and speed settings in the memory for faster
easier use.
2. When laminating continuously "WAIT" may appear on the display, if this occurs
lower the speed by 1 increment, "READY" should appear and you may continue
laminating.
3. When laminating a document much smaller than the film, place the document in
the center of the film for better lamination results.
4. When laminating at high temperatures (> 248°F/120°C) you may want to press
the FAN button to allow the cooling fan to cool the document being laminated.
5. When laminating continuously High Temperature may appear,if this ocuurs
lower the speed or lower the temperature or stop for a minuate.

Cleaning the Body of the laminator
To clean the machine body, dampen a cloth with water only and gently wipe the machine clean.
Removing Adhesive Build Up
1. Remove the film from the laminator.
2. Use a damp (water only) cloth and a rubber gum eraser to remove
the adhesive on the Teflon (metal) and silicone rollers.
NOTE: Rub firmly but do not scrub the rollers vigorously as this may
scratch the surface. Do not use sharp metal objects, steel wool,
or abrasive, as these may also damage the rollers.
