The main feature that makes the Digital Combo so versatile is the
interchangeability of the heat platens. Because the heat platens are
modular in their method of connection, one platen can be unplugged
and another attached, in its place. These platens are “Hot Swappable”.
You do not need to wait for the platens to cool off to remove.
The following instructions apply to the 14x16, 12x14, cap, plate & mug
heat platen attachments. All of them disconnect and connect in the same
manner.
The heat platen can be safely disconnected with
the machine on. However, thermal gloves or
oven mitts must be used when handling hot heat
platens.
