3. Operating Process
2. Set temperature required
Turn on power switch, temperature
light is ON. The digital display shows
.
Press button, the light is
on (C denotes Celsius). Press
arrows “△” or “▽” to select “℃” or
“℉” (F denotes Fahrenheit)
according to your habits.
Press button, the temp light
is ON. Press Up “△” or Down “▽”
button to set temperature according
to different transfer material.
(Normally 180℃~200℃)
Note: The temperature will be shown
on the controller only after it has
reached to
100℃, it’s normal that there is no
temperature showing right after the
setting.

3. Set time required
Press button after the
temperature setting andthe
time light is ON. Press Up “△” or
Down “▽” button to set time
according to different transfer
material.
Press button after time setting;
the display shows the temperature
starts to rise. “CD-L” shows the time
counting down during yourtransfer.
If there is a difference between the
actual temperature and temperature
shows on the controller, you can
use P5 mode to calibrate the
difference.
For example, when actual heat
platen temperature is 180 °C butthe
display shows 200°C, press
button for 5 seconds to enter the P5
mode. When enter P5 mode,
press UP button “ △ ”to set to 20,
and then press button again
for 5 seconds return to operation
mode. In the contrast, whenactual
heat platen temperature is 200 °C
but the display shows 180°C, press
4. Printing Methods
Step 1: Make sure the cord is connected well to the wall socket. Lift up the handle to open the press. The
press should always be in the open position when the press is heating. Place the object (i.e. T-shirt , Mouse
Pad etc) and transfer paper with images facing down the object on under plate; adjust the pressure to be
moderate and switch on the press.
Step 2: Temperature indicator light is on. Set the temperature according to different transfer material.
Recommended temperature is 180°C~200°C
Step 3: Then set the time according to different transfer material.
Step 4: When the temperature rise to the set temperature, the buzzer sends out sounds; then close
down heat platen (meantime the sounds stop) and starts to transfer.

Page 5of 9
Step 5: Time is counting down; once time is up, the buzzer will send out a sound again, then open up the
heat platen (meantime the sounds stop).
Step 6: Work finish and take out the object. If you want to print on another object, place the object on press
bed and confirm the TIME and TEMPERATURE set as last time, then repeat above process. Unplug the
power cord when is machine is not in use.
Step 7: Consult the Transfer Paper instructions on whether to peel cold or hot, Here are suggested Pressing
time guidelines for different transfer paper.
Ink-Jet Transfer Paper (fabric) 14-18seconds
Laser Copier/Printer Transfer Paper (fabric) 18-25
seconds Sublimation Transfers (onto Fabrics) 25-30
seconds Sublimation Transfers (onto FR-Plastic/Woods)
60-70 seconds
Step 8: Mouse pads, coasters and other thicker materials may also be pressed. Simply adjust the pressure
adjust gear - clockwise to increase pressure, and counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
5. Recommendations
1) Ceramic tile transfer: (Mugs & Plates transfer is similar)
Set temperature: 180℃.
Set time: 15 seconds
2) T-shirt transfer:
Set temperature: 180℃.
Set time: (for chemical fiber use sublimation transfer paper: 30-50seconds; for pure cotton use T-shirt transfer paper:
10-20seconds)
NOTE:
1) Please switch off the machine and unplug the power cord when the machine is not in use.
2) The heat platen will cool down to the room temperature, if heat press stays unused for more than 30 minutes.
3) The heat-releasing fan will automatically starts when the temperature of heat platen reaches 80 degree C
(176 degree F). It helps to reduce the temperature of electrical parts and prolong the service life ofthem.
4) For better maintenance of heat press, the maximum setting temperature is 210 degrees C (410 degreesF).
5) To avoid re-heating the first transfer when printing double sided T-Shirts, insert a sheet of cardboard inbetween
the shirt, adjust the height to less pressure, then press.
6) Heat platen may pivot slightly back and forth rotationally.This is due to movement allowance within the
clamp assembly, and is normal.

6. Maintenance
No action after turning on themachine
1). Check the plug whether it connects properly or whether it is broken.
2). Check the power switch or temp. & time controller whether it is broken.
3). Check the fuse whether it has been burnt out.
4). The indicating light is on, but no display on screen, check the 5 cables to the Railway transformer. If it
any are lose, this is showing the problem is a poor connection. If they are connected well, this is showing
that the Transformer is faulty.
After turning the power switch on, the light is illuminated, but the Temperature controller only
displays –L-- and there are no other changes.
Check the connection of Thermocouple whether it is loose. Or if the Thermocouple is broken.
After turning the power switch on, the light is illuminated, but the Temperature controller only displays –H--
and there are no other changes.
Check the temperature controller as to if the internals are damp, if this isn't the case, the controller is broken.
After turning the power switch on, the light is illuminated, but the Temperature controller displays incomplete
data.
Check the display screen to see if there is any visible damage, or if the cables to the display have become loose
(Secure the cables if so).
The machine is working but the timer isn't working: After pressing the time limit switch, the time controller
shows nocountdown.
1). Check the connection of the time limit switch as to whether it is loose.
2). Check the switch whether it’s pressed properly.
3). If above steps are not the problem, it's possible the time limit switch is broken.
The heat platen is heating well, but the Time Controller countdown even the platen is not pressed down.
Checking the two cables of Limit Switch whether they are connected mistakenly. If the connection is reversed, the
problem would exist.
The setting temp and time becomes abnormal after exchanging the heatplaten
1). Please reset the temp and time referring the operation process manual.
Other notice
1). In order to prolong the machine service life, please add lubrication oil regularly on the joints.
2). In order to keep the heat platen's good transfer effect, you need to protect the heat platen carefully whether
you are using it or not.
3). Please store the machine in a dry place.
4). If you are not able to solve the electrical parts problem, please kindly contact us at
[e-mail]

7. Troubleshooting for transfer print quality
1. If the print colour is pale: the temperature is too low / the pressure is not correct / or not pressed longenough.
2. If the print colour is too brown or the transfer paper is almost burnt: reduce the temperature setting.
2. If the print is blurring: too much transfer time causes proliferation.
3. If the print colour is different/ partial transfer effect is not good enough: the pressure is not sufficient enough / or not
pressed long enough / or poor quality transfer paper is used.
4. If the transfer paper sticks to the object after transfer: the temperature is too high/ or poor quality printingink.
