Setup:
Operate the machine on a flat and stable surface.

Ensure there is enough clear space at the rear of the machine for the

laminated pouch to exit the machine.
The KD-LMVC operates with laminating pouches 100 (2 x 50) microns –

250 (2 x 125) microns thick, (Credit card size to A4 size)
Operating the Laminator:
The KD-LMVC is operated by a rocker switch, located at the right-hand

side of the appliance. There are 2 positions ON and OFF.
Plug the machines cable into a convenient 13 Amp domestic supply

outlet.
To Laminate press the switch to the ON position, laminating can begin

when the Green "Ready" light comes on, which indicates the Laminator
is hot enough to laminate, (Allow approx 3-5 minutes for the Laminator
to warm up).
Prepare the laminating pouch for inserting into the machine. See How

to load a laminating pouch below. Do not use pouches thicker than 250
microns (2 x 125microns per side)
When the machine has reached operating temperature, you may insert

the pouch, (sealed edge first), squarely into the machine until it
engages with the rollers. Never insert a pouch open edge first into the
machine.
The pouch will move through the machine and exit at the rear.

During the process the READY light may go out as heat is absorbed by

the laminating pouch, this is normal.
There may be a slight smell from the laminating Pouch, this again is

normal.
Do not cut down Laminating Pouches to Laminate smaller sizes of Paper,

smaller sizes of Pouches are available, see back of IM for details,
please use these.
Turn the laminator to OFF after use and remove the plug from the mains

socket
DO NOT laminate thermal printed paper, such as concert tickets,

ultrasound photos as they may turn black.
How to load a Laminating Pouch:
The laminating pouch is sealed along one side. Open the pouch and

place the paper to be laminated centrally inside the pouch as close to
the sealed edge as possible.
Ensure there is an equal border all around the paper (e.g.: A4 paper

should have a 3mm border). The sealed edge (not the open edges) is
placed into the entry slot to start the lamination process.
Always watch the pouch during the laminating process to ensure it

comes out the other side of the Laminator. It may wrap around the
rollers if not placed squarely and centrally in the entry slot, see below
images.
It takes approx. 60 secs to laminate an A4 pouch. If after 25-30secs the

pouch has not started to emerge from the back of the machine, stop
the laminator. At the
the back of the Laminator, on the right-hand side is a jam release button.
Push it across to the left and hold, then pull the jammed pouch out from
the front of the laminator.
In the unlikely event the pouch is completely jammed inside the

Laminator, please switch off, don't open the appliance. Only a qualified
service engineer should repair the appliance.
