manufacturing defects in material and workmanship for a
period of one year on parts (lifetime on the upper heating
element) and 90 days on labor from the invoice date.

by the purchaser in taking delivery of this product.
Operation
1. Push ON/OFF switch to ON position. Set desired
temperature and lift handle so that the upper platen
arm is away from lower platen.
CAUTION
The temperature adjustment knob gets very
hot during operation. Adjust only when
machine is cold.
2. Allow the machine to warm up for approximately 20
minutes. When the selected temperature is reached,
the neon lamp on the power switch will cycle on and
off.
3. Set the desired pressure by adjusting the pressure
adjust knob on the top-center of the machine. To
reduce pressure, turn knob clockwise.
4. Place the substrate on lower platen. Smooth out all
wrinkles.

5. Position transfer or lettering on substrate.
6. Close machine by pulling handle down into locked
position.
7. At end of the time cycle. Pull handle up slowly and
move the upper platen handle to its full open
position. This technique will avoid transfer paper
(cover) from being pulled off prematurely due to
suction from the separating platens.
Preventive Maintenance Suggestions
The Insta heat seal machines are relatively maintenance
free. For a long, trouble-free life, the following preventive
maintenance steps should be followed:
1. Do not heat seal items such as buttons, pins, snaps, or
zippers which tend to cut the silicone rubber pad or
scratch the Teflon heat platen.
2. Periodically clean the Teflon-coated heat platen with
a non-abrasive piece of cloth. Stubborn stains may be
cleaned, when platen is cool, with mineral spirits.
3. When the heat platen is hot and not in use, keep in
open position (away from the silicone rubber pad).
4. To prevent soiling of substrate, periodic wiping of
the entire exterior machine, including platens, with a
clean rag is recommended. If necessary, use mineral
spirits for cleaning a cold machine. Since mineral
spirits are flammable, use precautions and keep away
from sparks, flame, or hot heat platen.
5. Occasionally apply a few drops of heavy machine oil
to the moving parts and pressure adjustment screw.
NOTE
Wipe off any excess oil or grease.
