Instrucións de funcionamento
Follow these steps for successful heat transfer:
- Prepara o teu deseño: Create and cut your design using HTV vinyl. Weed excess vinyl, leaving only the desired design on the carrier sheet.
- Axustar a temperatura e o tempo: Use the control panel to set the desired temperature (104-410 °F / 40-210 °C) and time according to your material and vinyl specifications. The machine heats up quickly (approximately 0.5℃/S) due to NTC thermistor technology and a dual-tube heating engine.
- Pre-Press (Optional): Place your garment or item on the lower platen. Close the heat press for 5-10 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles. Open the press.
- Deseño de postos: Carefully place your weeded HTV design onto the garment, ensuring it is correctly oriented.
- Apply Teflon Sheet: Place a Teflon sheet over your design to protect both the heating plate and your material.
- Axuste de presión: Use the pressure knob to adjust the pressure. Turn clockwise for more pressure, counter-clockwise for less. Ensure even pressure across the entire design. The 180° swing-away heat plate allows for easy material placement and reduces burn risks.
- Press the Item: Close the heat press handle firmly. The timer will begin counting down.
- Open and Remove: Once the timer alerts, open the heat press. Carefully remove the Teflon sheet.
- Peel Carrier Sheet: Allow the design to cool slightly (if cold peel) or peel immediately (if hot peel), following your vinyl manufacturer's instructions.

Mantemento
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your heat press machine:
- Limpeza da placa de calefacción: Allow the machine to cool completely. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the heating plate. For stubborn residue, a specialized heat press cleaner can be used sparingly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects.
- Cleaning the Lower Platen: Wipe the lower platen with a damp pano. Asegúrese de que estea seco antes do próximo uso.
