Model T1242 (Mfd. Since 04/18)
Cleaning &
Protecting
Cleaning the Model T1242 is relatively easy. Wipe
off any dust or debris with a dry cloth. If any oil
or grease has built up, use a grease-dissolving
cleaner to remove it.
Protect the unpainted cast-iron press bed by wip-
ing it clean after every use—this ensures moisture
does not remain on bare metal surfaces. Keep the
bed rust-free with regular applications of products
T-9 (see Page 22 for more details).
