Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your PixMax, place the machine on a level, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance for the swing arm to move freely. Ensure the power cable is connected to a stable, grounded outlet. For care, always allow the unit to cool completely before swapping attachments or cleaning. Clean the PTFE-covered plate with a soft, dry cloth; do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads, as these will damage the non-stick coating. When not in use, ensure the top platen is in the locked 'open' position to prevent wear on the internal springs and silicone pad. Keep the machine in a dry environment to protect the electronic components from moisture damage.
