RECEIVING & INSTALLATION

Please read this manual in its entirety before operating your press.

UNPACKING

Remember to save all packing materials - including box, liner and board.
You may need these for shipping your machine or if a repair is necessary
in the future.

INSPECTION

Inspect your 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 upper 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 box and place on cart or other sturdy surface.

2. If press is to be placed on counter top stick black plastic foot pad on
the bottom of the legs.

3. Place four set screws of the desired docking platen through the bottom
holes on the platen mount plate.

4. Place one at washer and wing nut on each set screw and tighten

with ngers.

CAUTION: Over tightening nuts can cause stripping on the set screws and/

or make future removal and assembly of the docking platen(s)

difcult.

NOTE: Upon receiving your new equipment, some debris or residue may

be present on the aluminum platen(s). Clean the platens per the

instructions provided prior to rst use.

OPERATION

THICKER

PRESSURE

1. The pressure control knob, located at the top / rear of the machine,
should be set so that the teeth of the docking platen just touch the
lower platen.

THINNER

WARNING: Make all adjustments while press is open. Adjusting the

thickness while under pressure will result in damage to the
press.

2. Pressure is reduced by turning knob (with machine open) counter-

clockwise and increased by turning it clockwise.

NOTE: Adjustments may be required from one product to another and will

vary to achieve the desired result.

CAUTION: Excessive pressure can cause structural damage, voiding the

machine warranty!

3. To set the nished product thickness, turn the dial on the top of the
machine as indicated.

OPERATION

DOCKING PRODUCT

Your doughXpress DXDD docking press is designed for easy use and will
reliably dock your dough.

Your DXDD docking press is designed to dock dough in diameters from 8”
up to 18” in steps of 2”.

1. Make sure the size of dough that will be docked matches that of the
docking platen. Interchange the docking platen if necessary.

2. Move the magnetic stoppers to the appropriate notch for docking the
size of dough you wish. [See Figure 1]

16”

14”

12”

10”

8”

NOTE: When docking an 18” dough, no stoppers will be used. Simply line

up the try with the lower platen.

3. Place the pressed dough on a baking tray.

4. Slide the baking tray on to the lower platen of the DXDD up to the
stoppers to assure dough and tray are perfectly centered under the
docking platen.

5. Make sure the docking platen is swung above dough. Docking arm
will reach a stop when it is directly above the lower platen. Using the
handle, lower the docking platen until the teeth of the docking platen

sufciently press the dough.

NOTE: Minimal pressure is needed to effectively dock dough. Pressing too

hard can break the teeth or damage the press in other ways and
void the warranty.

6. Lift the handle to the locked position and swing docking platen away
from lower platen.

CLEANING / MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE PLATENS

1. Swing the upper platen away for easier access.

2. Use a soap or detergent and nonmetallic scrubbing sponge to remove
any excess material from the platens.

WARNING: Do not use abrasives such as steel wool scrubbies, kitchen

cleansers, griddle cleaner, or griddle bricks or any other kind
of abrasive material. This will damage the coating.

CLEANING XYLAN COATED PLATENS

You may clean the Xylan coated platens with a mild soap and warm water.
Use a soft cloth or sponge. Do not use steel wool, scrubbies, kitchen
cleansers, or other abrasives. None abrasive oven cleaners are acceptable.

CLEANING OUTSIDE SURFACES OF MACHINE

Use a mild soap and warm water with a soft cloth or sponge. Do not use
steel wool, kitchen cleansers, or other abrasives.

LUBRICATION

Your press requires lubrication every 15,000 cycles or every 6 months.

Lubricate weekly in a heavy use production environment. Use NSF/NLG12
rated food grade grease (such as Bel-Ray No-Tox #2 or equivalent). A
general purpose food grade machine oil spray is also acceptable such as
CRC03055 lubricant (available from retailers such as Amazon). Lubricate
all moving or hinged points.
