Cleaning the Hopper and Melt Plate
WARNING! Risk of injury. Wear proper protective gear.
1. Open the lid.
CAUTION! Risk of equipment damage. The inside of the melter is
release-coated. Do no use metallic tools or wire brushes to clean the
reservoir.
2. Wipe/remove any residual hot melt from the inside of the hopper and the
top of the melt plate. When the melter is cool, adhesive can typically be
peeled from the release-coated parts. If the adhesive cannot be peeled
off, heat the melter to the softening point of the adhesive and use a
wooden or plastic scraper to remove the adhesive.
3. Remove all debris from the flat portion of the outer diameter of the melt
plate.
NOTE: It is particularly important to remove the adhesive from the flat
portion of the outer diameter of the melt plate. This surface must be clear
so that a good seal with the adhesive slug foil bag is possible.
4. Restore the system to normal operation.
