• Use the power cable included in the delivery to connect the transfer press

with a 230V power socket.

• Switch on the press with the flip switch on the back.

• The small lamp next to “Current Temp“ is on, the current temperature is

shown on the display. By pressing “SAVE“ or “CLEAR“ you can choose between “°C“ and ”°F“.

• Select the individual menu items by pressing ”SELECT“.

• Set the desired temperature (“Setting Temp.“) and the desired time (“Setting

Time”) by selecting ”SAVE“ or ”CLEAR“. Confirm the entry by pressing “SAVE” for longer.

• Select the "START/STOP" button to start the heating process to the set

temperature.

• “Temp. Rising“ will light up.

• When the set temperature is reached, you will hear a signal and the small

lamp will light up “Temp. Hold“.

• Now you can carry out the first transfers. The time clock will start running as

soon as the press is closed with the press lever.

• You will see the time on the display.

• You will hear a warning signal after the set time has expired.

• You can regulate the contact pressure by increasing or reducing the leverage

by turning the large fixing screw on the upper side of the press. The contact pressure is increased by turning in the clockwise direction. The pressure is reduced by turning in the other direction.

• No settings can be changed during the pressing process.

• With each completed pressing process the counter will rise by one, when the

stated time has completely expired.

• Reset the counter by pressing “CLEAR“ for a longer moment. Previously select

the menu item “COUNTER“ by pressing “SELECT”.
