Working with Heat Transfer Materials (cont.)
3.2.4
Set the time required
for the material being used. Close the
press by lowering the handle and the pressing cycle is
automatically activated. A buzzer will sound when the set time
has elapsed and the heat plate will rise automatically from the
locked position.
Make sure all operations can be completed
without interference.
3.2.5
Unload the garment
from the table of the machine taking care
not to touch the heat plate, to avoid the risk of a burn.
3.3
Pressing Pad Assembly
The pressing pad
normally supplied with this machine is silicone
rubber. The pressing pad must be maintained in good condition at all
times and replaced when showing signs of wear. A worn pressing pad
will always affect the quality of printing/fusing. Do not insert items
into the machine, which would tend to cut the pressing pad, i.e. buttons,
pins, press-studs or zips.
Never allow
the hot heat plate to rest on the pressing pad when the
press is not being used as the pad may be damaged.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The pressing pad
supplied with the machine is of the correct thickness.
Using a thicker pad may invalidate your warranty.
3.4
Shutting Down the Machine
To shut down the machine
, turn off the on/off switch at the side of the
machine. The handle should be in the up position.
3.5
Auto Shut Down Feature
After a period of approximately 45 minutes of inactivity
, the press
will power down (symbolised by the word ‘OFF’ on the controller
display). To restart the heating process the ‘OK’ button on the controller
should be pressed 4 times; the user is then required to wait until the set
temperature is achieved (notified by a bleeping sound) before the press
cycle can recommence.
N.B.
This is a safety feature for the benefit of the user and cannot be
disabled; it does not indicate a fault or any mechanical failure
of the press.
