Troubleshooting Guide - Keystone THE MACHINE III Manual Del Usario

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

1. Insufficient detail: This is often caused by improper heating or
vacuum time. If your adaptation does not show enough detail, allow
the material to heat longer prior to forming and/or increase vacuum
time.
2. Material creasing or tearing: This is a result of excessive heat.
Reduce the heating time. When using materials .040 or thinner, it is
important to stabilize the heater temperature by pre-heating the unit
for approximately 3 minutes prior to forming.
3. Material sticking to the model: Spray the model with a small
amount of silicone lubricant prior to forming.
4. Material sticking to the gaskets: Replace the gaskets.
5. Material stuck in the vacuum holes: This can occur if the material
is overheated and pulled into and through the vacuum holes. Allow
materials to cool completely. Attempt to pull the material from the
platform. If the material is not protruding through the vacuum holes,
gently pry the material off.
6. Bubbles appearing in clear material during heating: This is caused
by the absorption of moisture from the air. Bubbles can be removed
from unformed material by placing it into a warm oven (160˚F) for
approximately one hour. Store materials in a Ziploc bag with desiccant
gel and in a cool dry area.
7. Heater does not function: Ensure power cord is properly
connected to the wall outlet and rear of The Machine III. If the
indicator light does not illuminate when turned "on", disconnect the
power cord from the wall outlet and rear and check the fuse. Replace
if necessary. (see Page 11 for fuse replacement instructions).
If the Machine III remains non-operational, please call your dental
distributor for further assistance.
