 Set the device to cool or heat using the switch. (2)
 Select the temperature level using the switch(2)
 Start the machine by pressing the main switch(1)
 After 1.5 minutes, the machine is ready for use
 Place the part of frame to be softened between the heat

conveyors(5)

 Mold the part according to requirements; if necessary the
