ULG 350 B1 Preparing for hot lamination ♦ Insert the plug of the laminator into a mains power socket. ♦ Switch the appliance on by pushing the On/Off switch 5 to the “ON” posi- tion. The red Power indicator light 2 lights up. ♦ Set the selector switch for hot and cold lamination 6 to “HOT”. ♦ Place the pouch thickness switch 4 at the corresponding pouch thickness (see also chapter Switching levels). NOTICE ► The attainment of the operating temperature is indicated by the glowing of the green indicator light Ready

3. For a more uniform laminating result

we recommend, especially for thinner foils (below 125 Micron), and after adjustment to a different foil thickness, to first wait an additional 2-3 minutes before beginning with lamination. ♦ Place the document to be laminated into a laminating pouch of the appropriate size. NOTICE ► Ensure that all edges of the document have at least two millimetres of space to the edges of the laminating pouch, as shown in Fig. 1. ► Make certain that you use only one pouch for laminating. First flip it up, as shown in Fig. 2. ► For further information about the lamination process, please read the section Lamination process. Fig. 1 Fig. 2GB

 23 ■ ULG 350 B1 Preparing for cold lamination IMPORTANT ► After hot laminating, allow the laminator to cool down completely before beginning with cold lamination. Bear in mind, the rollers inside the laminator will still be hot. This could damage the laminating pouch and the document to be laminated! ♦ Insert the plug of the laminator into a mains power socket. ♦ Switch the appliance on by pushing the On/Off switch 5 to the “ON” position. The red Power indicator light 2 lights up. ♦ Set the selector switch for hot and cold lamination 6 to “COLD”. The green Ready indicator light 3 lights up. ♦ Place the pouch thickness switch 4 at the corresponding pouch thickness (see also chapter Switching levels). ♦ Place the document to be laminated into a laminating pouch of the appropriate size. NOTICE ► Ensure that all edges of the document have at least two millimetres of space to the edges of the laminating pouch, as shown in Fig. 1. ► Make certain that you use only one pouch for laminating. First flip it up, as shown in Fig. 2. ► For further information about the lamination process, please read the section Lamination process. Lamination process ♦ Place the pouch centrally on the small supporting surface at the pouch slot 1. If the size permits, the pouch should be placed with the closed side towards the pouch slot 1. ♦ Slide the pouch slowly and straightly into the pouch slot

♦ When you have slid the pouch several centimetres into the slot 1 it will then be pulled in automatically. Release the laminating pouch as soon as you notice it being pulled in automatically. IMPORTANT ► Ensure there is at least 30 cm of open space in front of the laminator. Oth- erwise, the pouch will not be ejected completely from the laminator after lamination. This could damage the pouch. ♦ The finished and laminated pouch is ejected from the pouch ejector slot

of the laminator.■ 24 

ULG 350 B1 NOTICE ► Only after hot lamination: When the finished laminated pouch is ejected from the pouch ejector slot 7 of the laminator, it is hot and can easily change its shape. For this reason, let the laminated pouch cool for 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 will give it a smooth and flawless surface. ♦ If you do not wish to start another laminating procedure, move the On/Off switch 5 to “OFF“ and rotate the pouch thickness switch 4 to the ABS position. ♦ Disconnect the plug from the mains power socket. Anti-blocking function At the start of the lamination process, the pouch may be pulled in at an angle or jam itself inside the appliance. ♦ Turn the anti-blocking switch

to the position ABS. The pouch will no longer be drawn in. ♦ Remove the pouch and turn the anti-blocking switch

back to the desired pouch thickness. ♦ Re-start the lamination process. Cleaning DANGER Risk of potentially fatal electrical shock! ► Remove the plug from the mains power socket before beginning to clean the appliance. ► Ensure that moisture cannot permeate into the appliance during cleaning. IMPORTANT Possible damage to the appliance ► Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the surface of the housing. ♦ Clean the housing of the appliance only with a lightly moistened cloth and a mild detergent.GB

 25 ■ ULG 350 B1 Cleaning the inside 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. ♦ Prepare the appliance for use, as described in the chapter Preparing for hot lamination, until the green indicator light Ready 3 glows. ♦ Then guide a sheet of folded in the middle A4 paper (maximum thickness 1.0 mm), without a pouch and with the fold forward, slowly into the manual pouch insertion slot

♦ Release the sheet as soon as you notice that it is being pulled in automatically. The contaminants on the rollers inside the laminator now firmly attach themselves to the sheet of paper. The paper will be ejected from the pouch ejector slot

of the laminator. ♦ 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. Storage ♦ Store the appliance in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.
