THERMOSTAT (HEAT SETTING): The Thermostat is at the front of the Heater Head - a little Black Dial. This raises or lowers your temperature.
WARM UP: Allow about 15 minutes to reach temperature setting.
TIMER: The Timer is the WHITE Dial at the back of the Heater Head. This buzzes when you have reached a preset time for your application.
ON - OFF SWITCH: There is a toggle switch to turn off and on the machine at the back of the Heater Head below the timer dial. When the machine is ON a RED LIGHT will glow next to the switch.
The machine runs off a standard 120 Volt outlet.
The Heater Head does get hot - keep kids away to avoid an accident. Setting it on a separate table away from people is recommended. For the operator, handle with caution as you would a hot hand iron.
SPACE FOR HEAT PRESS: Make sure you have plenty of space for the heatpress to allow for the Heater Head to swing back and forth when applying garments.
Temperature: Set at 350 degrees for applying Color-Ons. No higher. Start with the temperature knob at the halfway setting and if needed, adjust slightly every 10 minutes to reach 350 degrees.
Time: 12-15 seconds.
Pressure: Medium, not light. Too little pressure and the Color-Ons will not adhere onto the shirt.
1. Preheat T-shirt for 3 seconds. Swing heat platen completely away from shirt.
2. Lay out t-shirt on rubber pad. Place transfer face down on garment. Make sure the imprint area is within the rubber pad.
(TIP- center and position the Color-Ons 3 inches below the neck of the t-shirt)
3. Swing heat platen over shirt & press for 12-15 seconds.
4. Swing head platen away
5. PEEL COLD: COOL for 30 seconds - Slowly remove paper in a smooth even motion.
If any edges of Color-Ons appear to not be adhered, replace paper and repeat steps 2-5.
TEST APPLICATIONS: Get a scrap t-shirt and cut a Color-Ons into 4 pieces. Apply one at a time to adjust the heat/pressure setting until satisfied.
