New at 3D printing - A5S - a few beginner questions

Good morning everyone (8 am in Germany),
after I fought my way through the scarce engrish manual of the printer and the video guide that omits some steps completely I figured out how to level, adjust the Z axis and so on. A few questions remain:
1. The printer said it comes with a "resume feature". So I naively thought I could flip the switch while printing a test model and come back later to resume just to see it starts clean without offering me a resume option. Did I do something wrong or is there a time limit?
2. If the nozzle can get to 250°C there should theoretically be more materials the printer can use, right? I am interested in PP for instance. Would that work?
3. Are there some crucial things I should keep in mind so I don't harm this particular printer?
Thanks to everyone in advance!

2. 250C is the max limit you should consider printing at on the A5, because of the PTFE bowden tube and liner. Even at 250C you need to be careful with good ventilation because of the fumes from overheated PTFE.
3. Common tips:
