CONGRATULATIONS!
Your Super Seca Flash Unit is now fully assembled.

USING THE SUPER SECA FLASH CURE UNIT
The Super Seca Flash Curing Unit is very easy to function.
Place the flash element assembly over the platen. Make sure the placement of the flash does
not make contact with the platen when it rotates.
Once set, swing the element assembly out of the way as to not burn the shirt board when
the unit is turned on. Adjust the height by loosening the shaft collar and holding the element
assembly with one hand to slide the element assembly up or down to the desired height.
Once the position and height are set, plug the unit into a wall receptacle with the correct
voltage for the unit and turn the unit on. The element will take a few moments to reach full
temperature.
When ready to print, swing the element assembly over the platen and begin.
Leveling the base will ensure even heat distribution and an evenly cured print.
Adjusting the flash to an appropriate height will prevent damage to material.
Avoid plugging the Flash Unit into an extension cord. Use a wall receptacle with the correct
voltage.
If the Super Seca won’t heat up, check the power source. If the power source is working fine
and the issue is with the flash, call our Tech Support line for further assistance.
