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.
5. Safety instructions
• This appliance is not intended for use by individuals
(including children) with restricted physical, physiological 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.
• Unplug the power cable after every use and before cleaning, so as to prevent the appliance from
inadvertently switching itself on.
• Check the appliance and all parts for visible
damages. The safety concept can work only if
the appliance is in a faultless condition.
• 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 appliances. Errors with the laminator can result in
damage to the document being laminated.
• 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 laminating pouch could cant itself inside the laminating
appliance. This would damage the laminating pouch,
the document being laminated as well as the laminator.
• 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be quickly withdrawn.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emergency the plug can be quickly withdrawn.
Risk of electrical shock!
• Connect the appliance to a mains power socket
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.
• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables
to be replaced at once by qualified technicians
or our Customer Service Department.
• 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.
- 3 -
Risk of fire!
• Do not use the appliance in the vicinity of hot
surfaces.
• Do not place the appliance at locations exposed
to direct sunlight.
This could lead to overheating and cause irreparable damage.
• 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.
RISK OF INJURY!
•
Keep children away from the connecting cable and
the appliance. Children frequently underestimate the
dangers of electrical devices.
• 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.
6. Suitable laminating pouches
• For hot lamination you can use pouches with a
width of up to 230 mm and a maximum thickness
of 125 micron.
• Please note that each laminating pouch may only
be used once.
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.
Take note that the laminating pouches in-
cluded with the laminator are intended
exclusively for hot lamination.

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

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

Only after hot lamination:
When the finished laminated pouch is discharged from the pouch ejector slot
the appliance, it is hot and can easily
change its shape. For this reason, allow
the laminated pouch to cool down for at
least one minute before touching it.
To improve the lamination result, you can
weigh a still hot laminated pouch down with
a book, a file folder or any other heavy,
flat object. This helps achieves a flat and
flawless surface.

13.Cleaning and care
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!
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.
Cleaning the interior of the appliance:
With every lamination, contaminants are deposited
on the rollers inside the laminator. Over time, this reduces the performance of the laminator. You should
therefore clean the rollers inside the laminator after
use.
➩ Release the sheet as soon as you notice it
being pulled in automatically.
• The contaminants on the rollers inside the laminator 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.
14. Storage
Allow the appliance to cool down completely
before putting it into storage.
Do not store the laminator in damp loca-
tions where moisture could enter inside
the appliance. (E.g. cellars)!
15. Disposal
➩ Prepare the appliance as described in Chapter
8 "Preparing for hot lamination", up to the point
where the green indicator lamp "Ready"
glows.
u
➩ Then run a sheet of DIN A4 paper, folded in
the middle (maximum thickness 1.0 mm) …
• without a laminating pouch and
• with the fold first
… slowly into the slot for manual pouch input t.
Do not dispose of the appliance with
your normal domestic waste. This
product is subject to the provisions of
European Directive 2002/96/EC.
Dispose of the appliance through an approved waste
disposal centre or at your community waste facility.
Observe the currently applicable regulations.
