INSTALLATION
1. Place the heat press machine (A) on any rm, level, and heat-resistant surface able to
easily bear its weight.
2. Remove any heat-sensitive or easily ammable materials from the area.
3. Check that the mug attachment is securely xed to the heating unit, tightening its locking
bolts as needed.
4 Check that the heating unit is well connected to its cable and the handle opens and
closes easily and smoothly.
5. Connect the power cord (B) to the inlet on the left side of the machine and to a
compatible, stable, and grounded power supply.
6. Prepare one area for items about to be loaded into the press and a separate area for
cooling heated items after processing.

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 you
ʼ
re using.
2. Fix your design exactly into position on your product using the heat-resistant adhesive
tape (C).
Research your specic 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 ineective.
3. Check that your product will be able to t easily within the press without disturbing the
transfer. Adjust the pressure knobs as needed to provide room for placement but to allow
full contact when the handle is closed.
4. Put on the heat-resistant gloves (D) and any other necessary PPE. Connect the press to
power and ip its power switch to
I
. During rst use, the press should begin preheating to
its default setting of 180°C or 356°F. 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 re.
If you need to use a dierent heat or time setting, press
SET
once. The upper display
should read “SP” 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
SET
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
SET
a third time to conrm 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.
6
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 knobs to t your product, you may need to retighten
them now.
7. The countdown should begin immediately once the press detects that the handle has
been lowered. Some larger products may not trigger this automatic activation. If so,
manually begin the countdown by pressing . Each time you press after this will reset
or restart the counter but it will
NOT
stop the press from continuing to heat.
8. There will be an audible chime when your countdown is finished. Press to mute.
If necessary, loosen the pressure knobs. Support your product with one hand while
opening the handle with the other. 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, while the batch counter tracks the number
of repetitions. (Hold to reset this count.) For separate projects, use the instructions in
Step 4 to match the settings to your work.
10. When you are completely nished, turn o the machine by ipping 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.
To avoid damage to its internal components, the press will also shut itself off
automatically if it is ever left undisturbed for thirty minutes at a time. However, you
should never leave the heated press unattended in this way. If you need to leave during
the middle of a batch, make sure all heated items are safely placed and then turn o and
disconnect the press from power before leaving.

ADDITIONAL TIPS
• Remove transfer paper from nished 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 specic transfers and materials to nd the
best results, especially before large batches.
• Avoid washing newly printed products for at least 24 hours.

Hold
SET
to enter the settings adjustment menus. You will automatically start with Temperature
Units “C-F”. Press
SET
to cycle through the other parameters in order. Use ▲ and ▼ to adjust
any value. When you are done, hold
SET
to save your changes and exit.
Aside from the display units and heating cycle, the other parameters should never require
any adjustment. If they do,
ONLY
undertake such adjustment 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 re hazards.
Temperature Units (C-F)
By default, the temperature values are displayed in either metric or English customary units,
depending on the dominant local system. Use ▲ and ▼ to toggle between the two units. Setting
C is degrees Celsius and Setting F is degrees Fahrenheit.
Temperature Calibration (SC)
Sensor calibration is the oset 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”.
ADJUSTMENT
9
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.
