CO Time
• Do NOT laminate any document which, together
with the laminating pouch, would have a thickness
of more than 1,0 mm. Should you do so, the lami-
nating pouch could cant itself inside the laminating
appliance. This would damage the laminating pouch,
the document being laminated as well as the la-
minator.
The C.O. Time (Continuous Operation) details how
long an appliance may be used without the motor
overheating and being damaged. After the appliance
has run for this period it must be switched off until
the motor has cooled itself down.
• Do not use an extension cable. Place the appliance
where the mains power socket is easily accessible,
so that in the event of an emergency the plug can
be quickly withdrawn.
• Do not use an external timing switch or a separate
remote control system to operate the appliance.
• Place the appliance where the power wall socket
is easily accessible, so that in the event of an
emergency the plug can be quickly withdrawn.
5. Safety instructions
• This appliance is not intended for use by individuals
(including children) with restricted physical, physio-
logical or intellectual abilities or deficiences in
experience and/or knowledge unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their safety
or receive from this person instruction in how the
appliance is to be used.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
ƽ Risk of electrical shock!
• Connect the appliance to a mains power socket
• Unplug the power cable after every use and be-
fore cleaning, so as to prevent the appliance from
inadvertently switching itself on.
with a mains voltage of 220-240 V 50 Hz.
• Do not take the appliance into use if the power
cable or the plug is damaged.
~
• Check the appliance and all parts for visible
damages. The safety concept can work only if
the appliance is in a faultless condition.
• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables
to be replaced at once by qualified technicians
or our Customer Service Department.
• Never perform hot lamination on flammable,
heat-sensitive and/or meltable materials and do
not laminate drawings on temperature-sensitive
paper or material that will undergo changes in
colour or quality when subjected to heat.
• Never laminate valuable or unique documents.
Although the laminator satisfies all predominant
safety norms and standards, errors can never be
completely discounted - as with all electrical ap-
pliances. Errors with the laminator can result in
damage to the document being laminated.
• NEVER immerse the appliance in water.
Wipe it only with a damp cloth.
• Do not expose the appliance to rain and never
use it in a humid or wet environment.
• Ensure that the power cable never becomes wet
during operation.
• Unplug the appliance immediately after use.
The appliance is free of electricity only when you
remove the plug from the mains power socket.
• Do not open the housing or attempt to repair the
appliance yourself. Should you do so, device safety
can no longer be assured and the warranty will
become void.

ƽ Risk of fire!
6. Suitable laminating pouches
• Do not use the appliance in the vicinity of hot
surfaces.
• For hot lamination you can use pouches with a
width of up to 230 mm and a maximum thickness
of 125 micron.
• Do not place the appliance at locations exposed
to direct sunlight.
This could lead to overheating and cause irrepa-
rable damage.
• Please note that each laminating pouch may only
be used once.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when in
use.
• NEVER cover the ventilation slits on the top of the
appliance while it is switched on.
ꢀ For hot lamination, use only laminating
pouches that are expressly designated
for hot lamination.
For cold lamination, use only laminating
pouches that are expressly designated
for cold lamination.
ƽ RISK OF INJURY!
•
Keep children away from the connecting cable and
the appliance. Children frequently underestimate the
dangers of electrical devices.
ꢀ Take note that the laminating pouches in-
cluded with the laminator are intended
exclusively for hot lamination.
• Ensure that the appliance stands with a safe and
secure positioning.
• Do not operate the appliance if it has sustained
a fall or is damaged. Arrange for the appliance
to be checked and, if necessary, repaired by a
qualified expert.
• Some parts of the appliance become very hot
during operation. To avoid burns, do not touch
these parts.

After hot laminating, allow the laminator
to cool down completely before beginning
with cold lamination. Remember, the rollers
inside the laminator will still be hot. These
can damage the laminating pouch and the
document to be laminated!
Lay the right or left edge of the laminating pouch
against the pouch format lock (closed side
r
leading). Slide the pouch format lock together
r
until the selected format size is reached. This pre-
vents the laminating pouch from being pulled in
at an angle.

ꢀ Ensure there is at least 30 cm of open space
in front of the laminator. If you do not, the
laminating pouch will not be completely
ejected from the laminator after lamina-
tion. This could damage the laminated
pouch.

13.Cleaning and care
➩ Release the sheet as soon as you notice it
being pulled in automatically.
Potentially fatal electrical shock:
• Never open the appliance housing. There
are no user-serviceable elements inside.
• Never submerse the appliance into water
or other liquids!
• The contaminants on the rollers inside the lamina-
tor are now transferred to this sheet of paper.
The paper will be discharged from the pouch
ejector slot
of the laminator.
a
➩ Repeat this cleaning process several times.
Use a fresh clean sheet of paper each time.
When you no longer see any contaminants on
the paper, the rollers inside the laminator are
clean.
Cleaning the housing:
ꢀ Clean the surface of the housing with a
slightly moistened cleaning cloth.
➩ First remove the plug.
➩ Allow the appliance to cool down completely.
➩ Ensure that no moisture can permeate into the
appliance.
14. Storage
Allow the appliance to cool down completely
before putting it into storage.
Cleaning the interior of the appliance:
ꢀ Do not store the laminator in damp loca-
tions where moisture could enter inside
the appliance. (E.g. cellars)!
With every lamination, contaminants are deposited
on the rollers inside the laminator. Over time, this re-
duces the performance of the laminator. You should
therefore clean the rollers inside the laminator after
use.

8 "Preparing for hot lamination", up to the point
where the green indicator lamp "Ready"
