1. 15 x15 7 16 x20 16 x24 Flat Heat Press Instruction Manual Warning and Caution There are high voltage electrodes inside the heat press Do not remove the panels from the heat press The heat press will heat up very quickly Do not place any object on top or near the heat press Heat press operated at 180 C 380 degrees F and above It is very hot Please remove object around heat press Keep away from flammables Very important Keep away from children Do not let small children play near the press when it is hot Unplug heat press when not in use Even the unit is unplugged the heat press will remain hot for a long period of time over 40 minutes Make sure do not touch heat surface Provide ample working surface Accident tends to happen when the area is tight Do not try to move the heat press until it is cool to touch Heat press is rated at 1200 to 1400 watts Make sure it is on a 20 amp circuit with minimal other electrical equipment on the same electrical circuit Make sure the electrical circuit is property grounded before plug the heat press in Never use a 3 prong adapter Keep away from water or wet environments We recommend turning off the press when not in use It saves energy Furthermore the fuse tends to burn out during prolong nonstop operation Save the packing box It is almost impossible to ship the press for warranty service unharmed without the Styrofoam packaging When taking the heat press2. er word about browning of T shirt The cotton fibers will get scorched around 350f due to direct contact to the hot metal surface One way to alleviate this browning is using Teflon sheet It will help and make it less obvious To bet int ter describe the mechanism here imagine an oven heated up to 400 F You will not get burned when your hand is he oven for few seconds But you will get a blister immediately when you touch on the metal hot surface of the oven 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Close press handle The timer will begin to count 15 to 20 seconds Open the handle when alarm buzz Remove the t shirt and peel off the backing immediately to get matted finish for hot peel If your paper has cold peel property then peel the transfer paper after 2 minutes to get glossy transfer Not all paper has hot and cold peel option Most transfer paper only can do hot peel How good of transfer depends mostly on the iron on paper Caution If the paper is a hot peel only and the backing is not removed in time it will be almost impossible to remove the backing For purchase info see notes in the back Turn off the press and unplug the unit when not using the press any more Do not close the lid until the press is cooled The rubber pad may still be hot and get scorched e There are no exact ways to for heat transfers If using very high pressure the time and temperature can be reduced If set at lower temperature

4. out of the box check for any damage loose parts screw or nuts before plugging the press The press is very heavy and it is very possible that it might be damaged or some parts got shaken loose during transportation SET TEMPERATURE TO 180 200 C or 355 390 F FOR MOST TRANSFER Temperature Conversion Chart 100 C 212 F 149 C 300 F 163 C 325 F 180 C 356 F 193 C 380 F 199 C 390 F 204 C 400 F 300 C 572 F Operating Instruction 1 Remove the machine out of the carton and place it on a wide and flat working surface Make sure clear all Styrofoam and packaging material 2 There is an only gauge on the press and a pressure adjustment knob that you will need to adjust We will use light color iron on transfer as an example 3 To adjust temperature press the SET button once press UP and Down Arrows to adjust the temperature setting 4 To adjust time press the SET button again press UP and Down Arrows to adjust the time setting 5 Press the SET button once again to get to the real time mode for the machine to start heating 6 Note If you press SET button for longer than 5 seconds secondary menu will comes on The gauge will indicate F3 than F or C will be shown Press up and down arrow to change the scale to your preference 7 Press Set button again than the gauge will shown F4 This is number is used for calibration Normally it is set between 20 to 20 Important to get back to the real time mode need to pre
