Thank you for purchasing this heat press from VEVOR. The following are important
things you need to know before you begin:
• Intended usage of this Heat Press: This heat press is designed to press heat transfer
vinyl (HTV), sublimation and transfer papers onto soft garments.
Also avoid use of this heat press for other activities such as food preparation or extraction
of oils from plant materials and other alternative uses.
Use of this heat press in a manner other than intended will void the warranty, will damage
the machine, and may constitute a fire hazard.
• Preserve the shipping carton: Please do not discard or disassemble the carton this heat
press came in. It was designed to hold the weight of this machine during shipping.
Should you need to return the equipment due to warranty or repair, you will need it. Do
not attempt to ship this equipment in a different container.
• Follow manufacturer instructions on materials you press: Always use recommended
settings from the manufacturer for any material used in this press. Those instructions are
usually always available on-line from the material maker.
Instructions on the most common and recommended materials are enclosed within this
documentation.
• Test before you press: We encourage you to always do a test of your fabric and HTV
or transfer paper together using a small sample of the materials before you do volume
production.
If possible your test should include actually washing and drying a pressed garment to
assure that the media has properly adhered to the garment using the heat and pressure
setting you have selected.
• Use extreme care during operation: Please also be careful as you operate the heat press.
During operation the platens will get hot enough to do serious injury to you should you
touch them, and surrounding metal parts will also reach high temperatures.
Please educate children and others around this equipment that it is not a toy and can
cause severe burns and/or injury if the unit is closed onto fingers or other body parts.
• Electrical Source: This heat press is designed to plug into a standard household 3
prong outlet. (110-120V/60Hz.) Do not attempt to use this press with a two prong
electrical cord or otherwise use it without proper grounding.

Overview of Your Heat Press
From the “Medium” setting, High pressure will be clockwise one to two turns. Low pressure
will be counterclockwise one to two turns. (The number of turns will depend the thickness
of the garment.

How to calibrate your new Heat Press:
Instructions from manufacturers of heat transfer vinyls and transfer papers will instruct
you to use Low, Medium or High Pressure during the application process. Here’s how to
calibrate your machine and identify those settings. (Do this while the platens are cold.)
Turn the pressure knob counterclockwise a few times to lower pressure on the platens.
2. Place a piece of paper onto bottom of the platen
3. Close the revolve press using the handle.
4. Pull on the paper.
5. If the paper moves at all, turn the knob clockwise and try again.
6. Try again and repeat until the paper doesn’t move at all. This is your “Medium” pressure.

210℃ (410℉）, and the longest time is 999s.
When I transfer, my colors look faded.
You need to increase the amount of time you’re pressing and/or increase the heat by
20 degrees.
My Heat Press won’t heat up.
Heat presses use a lot of energy while they are heating up. It’s possible that the
energy drain has tripped the internal breaker in the press. Use the reset button on the
side of heat press to reset it. If that doesn’t work, take a moment to plug something else
into the wall outlet you’re using for the press. It might be that you’ve tripped a circuit
breaker.
Troubleshooting:
When I pressed my HTV, the material would not stick to the garment and/or
fell o ffduring washing. How do I fix this?
First double check manufacturer instructions – especially on heat and pressure
settings. If you are following them to the letter, increase your pressure. Remember:
Pressing isn’t just about heating the vinyl – it’s about pushing the vinyl into the materials
so that the adhesive finds a grip. Increasing the pressure is often the solution.
You might also need to increase your temperature a bit, but try this after you’ve
increased the pressure, and don’t up the temperature by more than about 5% over
manufacturer instructions.
When I peeled the carrier sheet from my HTV, the color vinyl came up o ffthe
garment but the adhesive below it stayed in place. What happened?
You are most likely peeling the material too hot. HTV’s like metallic,printed/fashion,
and many others are usually recommended for cold peel.
If that’s not it, double check the garment you are pressing and make sure it’s
appropriate for the HTV you are using. If the material has a coating of any kind, you might
need to use a special HTV specifically designed for sticking to coated materials. A
common example of this is someone trying to heat press HTV onto a water resistant fabric..
My Transfer paper is sticking to the heated platen. How do I fix this?
We really recommend the use of Teflon paper for most transfer pressings.
The above temperature is for reference only, the temperature of different materials will be different.
Using your Heat Press to press Transfer Paper:
As with all media you’ll use on your heat press, we encourage you to look for the pressing
recommendations from the manufacturer of the transfer material on-line if possible. If you
can’t find specific instructions, the following are general guidelines for your consideration.
