COLOR-ONS APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS - USING JP12 HEATPRESS
UNDERSTANDING YOUR JP12 HEATPRESS
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.
