4. Grasp the aluminum base of the thermocouple on 

either side of the rivets to provide support as shown 
in Figure 4-1. Using your fingers, gently bend the 
thermocouple where the “guitar pick” sensor meets 
the aluminum base. 

Figure 4-1: Adjusting the Thermocouple

Once installed, the critical point of the thermocou-
ple MUST make direct contact with the roll as 
shown in Figure 4-2.

Tools required:

80% isopropyl alcohol (or dishwashing detergent)

Several 100% lint free paper or cotton terry cloths

Protective rubber gloves

Soft cleaning pad

To clean dust and dirt from the rolls:

The silicone (lower) main roll can be cleaned of dust 
and dirt by passing an adhesive coated board through 
the nip. (Be sure to set the nip for the thickness of the 
board used).

 WARNING

To clean beads of adhesive from the rolls:

1. Allow the heat press to cool completely.

2. Set the FWD/REV switch to the REV position.

3. Clean the upper main roll using a fine, soft clean-

ing pad.

4. Clean the lower main roll with either a mild dish-

washing detergent or a moderate amount of 80% 
isopropyl alcohol on a cotton terry cloth.

 CAUTION

Firmly hold the thermocouple where the “guitar 

pick” sensor is riveted to the aluminum base 

while bending. You can break the sensor off the 

base if you do not provide this added support.

Exercise extreme caution while cleaning the heat 
press. You can be caught in the turning rolls and 

crushed or burned.

Use the minimum amount of pressure necessary 

to clean the rolls. You can destroy the silicone 

layer on the lower main roll by pressing too hard 

or scrubbing too long in one spot.
