Product Overview
Keep your laminator running smoothly with Fellowes Laminator Cleaning Sheets. These sheets are designed with a special coating that effectively picks up and cleans extra adhesive or glue residue that accumulates on laminator rollers over time. Regular cleaning is recommended, especially when your laminator's "Clean Alert" notification light activates, to ensure smooth and trouble-free operation.

Setup and Operation (for your Laminator)
While these cleaning sheets are for maintenance, understanding basic laminator operation is key to their effective use. The following general steps apply to most thermal laminators, including Fellowes models:
1. Power On and Warm-Up
When you turn on your laminator, the instant heat feature typically warms up the machine quickly, usually within 30 to 60 seconds. A long beep will sound, or an indicator light will illuminate, to signal that the machine is ready for laminating.

2. Preparing Documents for Lamination
Insert your document into the laminating pouch, ensuring the edge of the document fits snugly against the sealed seam of the pouch. For documents requiring UV protection, consider using ImageLast pouches, which offer superior protection against fading.

3. Feeding the Pouch
Insert the sealed edge of the pouch into the laminator. Use the guides on the machine to ensure proper alignment. It is crucial not to trim the laminating pouch before lamination, as this can lead to jams or improper sealing.
4. AutoSense Feature
If your laminator has an AutoSense feature, it will automatically detect differences in pouch thickness when laminating multiple documents. This eliminates the need for manual adjustments, simplifying the process.
5. Post-Lamination
Once laminated, promptly remove the document from the receiving tray. After the pouch has completely cooled, you may trim the laminated document to your desired size if necessary.

Maintenance: Using Fellowes Laminator Cleaning Sheets
Regular maintenance with Fellowes Laminator Cleaning Sheets is essential for extending the lifespan of your laminator and ensuring optimal performance. These sheets are designed to remove adhesive and glue residue from the rollers.
How to Use Cleaning Sheets:
- Ensure your laminator is powered on and warmed up.
- Feed a Fellowes Laminator Cleaning Sheet through the laminator just as you would a regular laminating pouch. The special coating on the sheet will pick up and clean excess adhesive.
- For best results, use cleaning sheets regularly or whenever your laminator indicates a need for cleaning (e.g., via a "Clean Alert" light).
- These 10-pack cleaning sheets are designed to be reusable multiple times, depending on the frequency and intensity of laminator usage.

Troubleshooting
- Jamming Issues: If your document becomes jammed in the machine, or if you inserted the document incorrectly, press the release/reverse button on your laminator to eject the document. This allows for proper re-insertion. Regular cleaning with Fellowes Laminator Cleaning Sheets helps prevent jams by keeping rollers free of adhesive buildup.
- Clean Alert Notification: For Fellowes laminators equipped with a "Clean Alert" notification light, using these cleaning sheets will automatically reset the notification after the cleaning process is complete.
- Suboptimal Lamination Quality: If laminated documents appear cloudy or have residue, it may indicate dirty rollers. Use a cleaning sheet to remove any accumulated adhesive or glue.
