When using your heat press, basic precautions should always
be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. Use heat press only for its intended use.

3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the heat press in water or other liquids.

4. Never pull cord to disconnect from outlet, instead grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

Safety Instructions

5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces, allow heat press to cool completely before storing.

6. Do not operate heat press with a damaged cord or if the equipment has been dropped or damaged.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair the heat press. Take it to
a qualified service person for examination and repair. Incorrect assembly or repair could increase the
risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when the equipment is used. Power supply cord must
be disconnected before cleaning or servicing press.

7. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

8. Close supervision is necessary for any heat press being used by or near children. Do not leave equipment
unattended while connected.

9. To avoid burns, do not touch hot metal parts or the heated platen during use.

10. To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate other high voltage equipment on the same circuit.

11. If an extension cord is necessary, then a 20-amperage rated cord should be used. Cords rated for less
amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be pulled or tripped over.

12. Keep hands clear of the upper heat press platen during lock down as the pressure may cause injury.

13. Heat press should be placed on a sturdy, suitable stand at least 36"L x 24"W x 29"H.

14. Work area must be kept clean, tidy and free of obstructions.

Connecting the System

Insert power cord into IEC inlet located on the side of press (1.1).

Connect the power cord into a properly grounded
electrical outlet with a sufficient amperage rating.

To remove a locking power cord (if equipped), depress
the two red buttons while pulling on the plug (1.2).

Voltage

120 volt presses require a full 15-amp grounded circuit.
240 volt presses require a full 10-amp grounded circuit.

Extension Cords

If used, extension cords should be as short as possible and
not less than 12 gauge. Heavy duty cords are recommended.

Circuits

Circuits that have less than 15 amps, or have other high demand
equipment or appliances (especially more than one heat press)
plugged in, should not be used.

Note: If supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent, or a similarly qualified person to avoid hazard. Use SJT
type rated 300 V cord for replacement.

displaying an orange background as a warning if the platen is still hot (above 100°F / 38°C).

NOTE: Standby Mode must be used for the Auto On feature to function (10.1).
The Auto On feature will not work if the power switch (2.1) is in the OFF position.
