4. Maintenance of the Machine

4.1

Daily Maintenance

For good press results it is important to keep the press surfaces clean.
Wipe the surface of the heat plate with a dry non-abrasive cloth before
use when the plate is cold.
When heat plates are hot and not in use, keep open position away from
the silicone pad.
4.2

Periodic Maintenance

Put a few drops of oil onto the various pivot pins every three months.
Periodically clean the Teflon® coated heat platen with a non-abrasive
piece of cloth. Stubborn stains may be cleaned, when platen is cool,
with mineral.
4.3

Cleaning

First unplug the machine. Clean the outside of the machine frequently
with a clean, moist cloth. This may conveniently be carried out when
the machine is cold.
To prevent soiling of substrate, periodic wiping of entire exterior
machine, including platens, with a clean rag is recommended. If
necessary, use mineral spirits for cleaning a cold machine. Since
mineral spirits are flammable, use precautions at all times and keep
away from sparks, flames or hot heat platen.
