RECEIVING & SETUP
PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL IN ITS ENTIRETY
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR PIZZA PRESS.
INSPECTION
Inspect your box and machine for hidden shipping damage. Contact the delivery
company immediately, should you nd damage.
PLATEN SURFACE
Slight surface imperfections are a normal part of the aluminum casting process for
the platens on your press. These are not considered a defect and do not affect the
functionality of the machine in any way.
SHIPPING OR RETURNS
NOTE: Save all of your shipping/packing materials.
DO NOT RISK COSTLY SHIPPING DAMAGE!
SHIP ONLY IN ORIGINAL BOX.
1. Fasten machine to plywood shipping base with bolts provided.
2. Make sure handle is pressed down so that the heat platen will not swing around
during shipment.
3. Place in original box, and put side liner and top liner in place. Fold in aps and
seal the box.
*Additional bottom boards, box and liners may be obtained from your supplier
for a nominal cost.
INSTALLATION
1. Lift press from skid and place on cart, if you purchased one with the press.
Align legs with holes in top of cart and bolts (supplied) fasten to cart. You will
need a 9/16 wrench.
2. Remove plywood shipping base from press.
CAUTION: Heavy lifting can cause injury. We recommend two person lifting
or use of a mechanical aid when handling this press. Remember
to always maintain natural curves of back and bend knees to lift.
3. Plug the cord of the press into a correctly grounded electrical outlet. The correct
voltage is indicated on the identication tag of the press.
WARNING: When using an extension cord, use 12 or 14 ga.-3 conductor.
Maximum length, 25’ (7.62 m).
4. Remove wrap from handle and platens.
5. Supply a clean (void of oils) and dry (void of water) air source of 110-130 P.S.I.
(7-8 bar) to the 1/4” NPT air inlet located on the back panel of the machine.
Requires 1 CFM (30 L/min). It is strongly recommended that an external air lter
and water trap be installed at the machine’s air inlet connection. This equipment
has small valves and ports that can become blocked from moisture and residue
in compressed air causing it to malfunction. Damages to the equipment’s
internal air operated components resulting from unltered air are not covered
under warranty. Combination air lter/water traps are available at any major
hardware store or may be purchased directly from doughXpress (part #71145).
