OPERATION

1. Prepare your design on a suitable transfer.Remember that most transfers (but not all!) require the design to be applied in reverse. Make the necessary adjustments for the style of transfer youʼre using.
2. Fix your design exactly into position on your product using the heat-resistant adhesive tape (D).Research your specific material and its ideal settings before use. Most ceramics can be pressed, but some sublimation plates and mugs are especially formatted for easy design transfer. Use medium to low pressure for glass but apply full and even contact with the transfer. Sublimation transfers are suitable for using this machine on stainless steel surfaces while other transfer types can be ineffective.
3. Check that your product will be able to fit easily within the press without disturbing the transfer. Adjust the pressure nut as needed to provide room for placement but to allow full contact when the handle is closed.
4. Put on the heat-resistant gloves (E) and any other necessary PPE. Connect the press to power and flip its power switch to I. During first use, the press should begin preheating to its default setting of 180°C. The default countdown is 30 seconds.The press preheats the ENTIRE time that it is connected to power and turned on. DO NOT leave it unattended and be careful to avoid any risk of burns or fire.
   • If you need to use a different heat or time setting, press MODE once. The upper display should read “SH” and the lower display should show the current target temperature.
   • Use + and – to set your new temperature. Hold either button to speed up adjustment.
   • Press MODE a second time. The upper display should read “St” and the lower display should show the current countdown in seconds. Again, use + and – to set the new timer value.
   • Press MODE a third time. The upper display should read “C-F” and the lower display should show the current temperature unit.
   • By default, the temperature values are displayed in degrees Celsius “C”. Use + and – to toggle between this and degrees Fahrenheit “F”.
   • Press MODE a fourth time or wait without operation to confirm your changes. These values will be saved and reused the next time you start the press. The display should reset to the current temperature of the press.
5. Check your transfer and its placement while the press finishes preheating. When it reaches your target temperature, slowly and carefully place your product into the press without disturbing the transfer. Position it with one hand so the transfer will be in full contact with the heated press once it is closed.
6. Lower the handle with your other hand until your product is securely held. If you previously loosened the pressure nut to fit your product, you may need to retighten it now.
7. Press to begin the countdown. Each time you press this button after this will reset or restart the countdown but it will NOT stop the press from continuing to heat.
8. When your countdown is finished, there will be an audible chime lasting for a few seconds. If necessary, loosen the pressure nut. Support your product with one hand while opening the mug attachment using the handle with the other hand. Remove the product and then remove the transfer at the appropriate time so there is no damage to the area of the transfer. Place your heated product in the area you previously prepared for cooling objects.
9. For batch work, simply repeat the positioning and activation steps. The temperature and timer will continue from one use to the next. For separate projects, use the instructions in Step 4 to match the settings to your work.
10. When you are completely finished, turn off the machine by flipping its power switch to O and then fully disconnect it from power.
    • Continue to be careful and to keep any children or pets away from the area until the press and your heated objects have fully cooled.

ADDITIONAL TIPS

• Remove transfer paper from finished products quickly to prevent it from cooling and sticking to your design, but continue to be careful of all heated surfaces. Allow vinyl a little more time to set but still remove it before it cools.
• To achieve optimal outcomes, use the recommended settings for the exact transfers and materials as described above. Experiment with your specific transfers and materials to find the best results, especially before large batches.
• Avoid washing newly printed products for at least 24 hours.

ADJUSTMENT

Hold MODE to enter the settings adjustment menus. You will automatically start with Temperature Calibration “SC”. Press MODE to cycle through the other parameters in order. Use + and – to adjust any value. When you are done, hold MODE or wait without operation to save your changes and exit. Apart from the Heating Cycle, these parameters should never require any adjustment. If they do, ONLY undertake such adjustments in coordination with customer service or a trained technician. Failure to do so may cause abnormal functioning, void any warranty stated or implied, and create a risk of electrical and/or fire hazards.

• Temperature Calibration (SC)
  • Sensor calibration is the offset applied to the device’s sensors and is set separately for each machine at the factory. Do not adjust the default value for your press.
• Overheating Protection (P)
  • Overheating protection is the hysteresis value used to smooth the machine’s heating adjustments. Do not adjust the default value of “5”.
• Input Reaction (I)
  • Input reaction is the speed at which the system responds to sensor inputs. Do not adjust the default value of “150”.
• Heating Cycle (t)
  • Heating cycle is the length of each period of heating in seconds.
  • It is followed by an equal duration of rest before the next cycle begins.
  • For optimal service, the default setting of “8” may need to be reduced somewhat in colder environments to maintain more constant heat but doing so under normal conditions simply produces needless wear on the press components.
  • The value can be increased somewhat in warmer environments to reduce wear. Only adjust the value up or down a little at a time and undo your adjustments or contact customer service if any abnormality occurs.

MAINTENANCE

• Always completely disconnect this machine from power and wait for it to cool before any cleaning, repair, or other maintenance.
• Clean with a soft dry cloth. If a damp cloth is necessary, be sure not to get any electronic components wet. Do not use caustic chemicals or harsh abrasives.
• Check this machine periodically for any looseness, wear, or damage. Tighten, repair, or replace any problematic parts before further use. Only allow trained technicians to do any testing or repairs to internal components.
• Store in a cool dry location inaccessible to children and away from direct sunlight. For best results, disconnect from power after each use. Always disconnect completely from power if it will not be used for an extended period of time.
