2. INSTALLATION AND FIRST USE

OPENING

• Carefully remove the machine from the wrapping

• Make sure the electric tension is 230 V

• Set the machine so that the plug is accessible
SET UP
Connect the main air to the terminal labelled INPUT AIR on the back panel. The input hole has a 6 ø. Pressure must not
exceed 6 bars.
Connect the 8 ø hose to the OUT output and unwind it to a water drain or a water collecting container. This hole is on the
left side of the side lid.
IMPORTANT
Do not soak this hose into any liquid as to not damage the unit. The safety valve is on the back panel.
Put the instrument in such a position as to not damage anything if the valve is activated. Do not direct it towards
combustibles.

3. MODE OF USE AND CHARACTERISTICS

• APOLIX has a total of ten programs, four of which are pre-set for VERTYSYSTEM® acrylic

• materials

• A work cycle consists of the necessary time and temperature settings

• Use the selection arrows (e) to set timing and temperatures

• After using the selection arrows, you will see the current setting flashing on the display (f)

• When the setting is flashing, you can change its value by using the selection arrows (e)

• To save the setting, you must once again push the corresponding selection button

• You will then exit the parameter setup mode

3. MODE OF USE AND CHARACTERISTICS

• Put the Furbo Alu Big/Small flask in the machine. Pour the necessary water in the tank (leaving at least a 2-cm gap to
the top)

• Close the lid until it latches. Start the process using the RUN/STOP button (17)

• The process can be stopped at any time using the RUN/STOP button (17)

• Once the process is started, it’s necessary to push the water release button (16). The LED will flash, and water and air
will be automatically released at the end of the process.

• In case of need, you can manually release the water by pushing and holding the water release button (16) for 5 se­conds. The machine will automatically release the water.

• In case of extreme need, you can manually drain the water using the nozzle for water (6). This can only be done while
the machine isn’t running a program. Before emptying the water, push the RUN/STOP button (17).

• Once the machine has been emptied, you must press on the nozzle (6) again to close the electromagnetic valve.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• Before the first use of the day, it’s necessary to wet the orange gasket with a little water before closing the lid, to pro­tect it from accidental damage.

• Once the pressure setting is memorized, it will stay so for all other programs as well

• Do not set the pressure at values exceeding 6 bars

• If the dierence between the set temperature and the actual chamber temperature is below 10° C, it’s necessary to
hold the RUN/STOP button (2) for a few seconds to start a new cycle. The new cycle will start after an acoustic signal.

• Pressure will stay active until you manually release it. Do not open the machine lid until the temperature has gone be­low 100°C, as to not risk burns with boiling water.

• The machine is engineered for use in places up to 2000 m above sea level

• Maximum air humidity has to be below 80% for temperatures up to 31°, and goes down to 50% for temperatures from
40° C.

• If the machine is used with accessories that were not provided by the manufacturer, safety is compromised.

4. SAFETY RULES

• The following precautions must be observed to avoid damages to personnel or to the machine:

• The machine musn’t be used by an operator who hasn’t read the instructions

• Before plugging the machine in, make sure that the grid tension is the same as the work tension. In case of dicrepancy,
consult a specialist

• Under no circumstance tamper with and/or modify the machine

• The stickers and warnings must be kept in legible conditions and must not be removed

• In case of damages the machine must not be activated, in order to protect the user or bystanders.

• Keep the power cord away from sources of heat, oils or damaging objects

• When moving the machine, do not hold it by the cord

• Do not use spare parts that don’t come from the manufacturer

• Prevent the machine from falling or receiving hits

• To function correctly, the machine has to be heated. Be mindful of the possible explosion hazard, or toxic/combustible
gas emission hazard that derive from heating

This symbol warns you that there is dangerously high tension

This symbols guarantees that the machine conforms to the Low Tension and
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive, and related norms
