pass through freely.

STORAGE & CLEANING
Turning off the machine – if the power button is pushed, the machine will completely shut down, turning off the heaters and rollers. Unplug the machine at the wall. The outside of the machine
can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or flammable materials to polish the machine. This machine is equipped with a 'Clean Alert System' that will remind the user to clean the
laminator. When the machine is warm, simply feed the cleaning sheet through the laminator to clean any residue off the rollers. Please refer to 'Clean Alert System' under 'Features & Tips' for
more information regarding this feature. Cleaning sheets can be purchased to clean the rollers of this machine. It is recommended that the cleaning sheets are used with the machine regularly for
optimal performance. (Cleaning Sheet order # 5320603)

• For best results, use Fellowes brand thermal pouches:
®
Enhance 80, Impress 100, Capture 125, Protect 175, Preserve 250 and cold pouches
• For self-adhesive (cold pouches) only use the cold setting.
• This machine does not need a carrier to laminate. It is a carrier-free mechanism.
• Always put the item to be laminated into the appropriate sized pouch.
• Always test laminate with a similar size and thickness before final process.
• Prepare pouch and item for lamination. Place item within pouch centered and touching
the leading sealed edge. Ensure the pouch is not too large for the item.
• If required, trim excess material from around the item after lamination and cooling.
3.
Plug the machine into an easily accessible wall socket.
4.
Fit the Exit Tray to the rear of the machine.
10.
Upon exit, the laminated pouch may be hot and soft. For the best quality and to prevent
jamming remove the pouch immediately. Place the pouch on to a flat surface to cool. Take
care when handling a hot pouch. Always remove laminate pouch before starting next
laminate.
11.
For cold lamination, press the cold lamination button. When the laminator is ready for cold
lamination, the ready light will turn green. Note: To use the cold setting after hot lamina-
tion, you may have to wait for the laminator to cool down for 30-60 minutes.
