ADJUSTMENT AND QUALITY Your OLIVER Model 1208 was tested at the factory using Oliver trays and film. NOTE · THE TEMPERATURE CANNOT BE ADJUSTED BY THE OPERTATOR · THE PRESSURE CANNOT BE ADJUSTED BY THE OPERATOR. The heater platen temperature is factory set at approximately 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
It is important that the surface of the heater platen is kept clean and smooth. Regularly clean the OLIVER Model 1208 with a mild cleaner and a damp cloth. If food product comes in contact with the surface of the platen, it tends to burn on and become hard.
CLEANING PROCEDURES 1. Remove tray carrier by pushing the carrier in, lifting the tray carrier straight up, and then pull out. 2. Wipe down tray carrier and gaskets with a standard cleaning solution. 3. Tip the machine up on its side, and then wipe off the heated platen. 4.
