ESSIX® MACHINE USER MANUAL
Thank you for your purchase of the Essix® Vacuum Machine.
Please read the important notes and the entire instruction manual before use.
The Essix® Machine utilizes an electrically driven vacuum motor to fabricate all types of orthodontic &
dental appliances more accurately than traditional vacuum forming machines. By incorporating a two
stage motor, it helps produce maximum adaptation, ease of use and professional results.
Please read the entire instruction manual before operating the Essix® Machine. You can learn correct
operating procedures by carefully reviewing the following pages, however, mastering vacuum forming
techniques may require a longer period of time. Practice with appropriate materials is recommended.
Also, pay close attention to all "Note" and "Caution" statements included in each section.

UNPACKING AND SETUP

The Essix® Machine requires minimal preparation for use. A few simple steps are necessary before
operating the unit:
1. Handles: Attach the two enclosed "tear drop" shaped knobs into the threaded holes located
at the rear of the hinged frame, attach the remaining knob on the front of the hinged frame
according to your preference. Install the heating unit handle into the hole centered in the front of
the heater unit.
2. Placement: The Essix® Machine should be placed on an open level counter, within 4' of a standard
properly grounded electrical outlet.
CAUTION: The unit should not be placed closer than 6" from walls, cabinets or other equipment
while in operation because of the temperature emitted from the heater. Under no
circumstances should this unit be operated while located under or in a cabinet. Turn off the
machine when not in use. Do not place any items under the heating element.
3. Electric Cord: Plug the female end of the cord into the electrical inlet located on the back of the
unit and the male end into a properly grounded electrical outlet. NOTE: The unit's power cord
should not be placed near the heating unit or any other hot surface.

MODEL PREPARATION GUIDELINES
BASE – The base of the model should be as slim as practical – no more than 3/4" from the base
to the incisal edge. Excessive base can result in thinning of the material and/or decreased details.
STONE – Quality stone or gypsum that produces a hard, dense model is suggested. Softer
materials may be dusty. This dust may settle into the finished appliance.
UNDERCUTS – The trimmed sides should be flat and cut at a 90º angle. Undercuts and angles
that cut into the base will create a vacuum lock and make it difficult to remove the appliance.
If possible, it is best to have the base flare out by a few degrees. This is completed during the
trimming stage.
