Important Safety Instructions
Page 3
WHEN USING YOUR APPLIANCE, BASIC PRE-CAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED,
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Use appliance only for its intended use.
3. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
4. Never pull cord to disconnect from outlet, instead grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
5. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces, let appliance cool completely before putting away.
6. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord, or if the appliance has been dropped or damaged. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair the appliance, take it to a qualified
service person for examination and repair. Incorrect reassembly or repair could cause a risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons when the appliance is used.
7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children. Do not leave appliance
unattended while connected.
8. Burns could occur from touching hot metal parts.
9. To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high voltage appliance on the same
circuit.
10. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 20 ampere rated cord should be used. Cords rated for less
amperage may overheat, care should be taken to arrange the cord so that the cord cannot be pulled or
tripped over.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Operating Instructions are designed with you in mind. Carefully read and follow the
step-by-step instructions for best results. If you experience any difficulty, carefully re-readthe instructions and try again.
STEP 1CONNECT THE POWER CORD:
Connect the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet witha sufficient amperage rating.
120 VOLT
Your MUG PRESS requires a minimum 4.0 amp grounded circuit for 120 volt operation.
240 VOLT
Your MUG PRESS requires a minimum 2.0 amp grounded circuit for 240 volt operation.
Extension Cords, if used, should be as short as possible and not lessthan 12 gauge. Heavy duty cords are recommended.
Circuits rated less than 15 amp or are connected to other high demandequipment or appliances (especially more than one heat seal machine)should not be used.
CAUTION:
Do not close press without first inserting mug!
NOTE:
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer o
its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
CAUTION:
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL CAUSE:
1. Erratic controller functions.2. Inaccurate displays and slow heat-up.3. The circuit breaker to disengage.

STEP 2 SWITCH THE SYSTEM ON
Locate the Power ON/OFF Switch on the press.
NOTE: Make sure handle is in the open position before turningmachine on, and also when making adjustments ontemperature, time or pressure.

STEP 3 ADJUST THE IDLE TEMPERATURE
Locate the Control Panel on the Mug Press.
Press the (MODE) Select Button located in the center of the ControlPanel. The (SET) Light located next to the display will illuminateindicating you are in the Adjust Idle Temperature Mode.
Adjust the temperature by pressing either the left (-) Button todecrease temperature or the right (+) Button to increase temperature.
0 0 0 0The idle temperature can be set from 205 F (95 C) to 300 F (149 C). Th
0 0default is 205 F (95 C).
The display will show your changes as you make them.
NOTE: Lower the idle temperatures help extend heater life.
ADJUST THE PRINT TEMPERATURE
Press the (MODE) Select Button again. The (SET) and(TEMP) Lights located next to the display will illuminate indicatingyou are in the Adjust Print Temperature Mode.
Adjust the print temperature in the same manner that you adjusted the0 0
idle temperature. The print temperature can be set from 205 F (95 C)0 0 0 0
to 430 F (221 C). The default temperature is 390 F (199 C).
The display will show your changes as you make them.

STEP 4 ADJUST THE PRINT TIME
Once you have completed adjusting the temperature, press the ModeSelect Button again. This will advance you to the Adjust Print TimeMode. The (SET) and (TIME) Lights will illuminate indicating you arein the Adjust Time Mode. Adjust the time in the same manner that youadjusted temperature. The time can be set from 001 to 999 seconds.
NOTE:The Print Time will begin once the mug press reaches Print Temperature
To exit the Adjust Temperature and Time Modes press the Mode SelectButton a fourth time. All lights will be off and the press will return to thePrint Mode.
The temperature and time settings become the new defaults and willbe remembered (even if the press is shut off) until changed again. Thefactory defaults can be restored, while the press is idling, by pressingand holding both of the outside buttons until all three lights begin to flash(approximately 5 seconds). The lights will flash three times indicating thathe factory defaults have been restored.

Adjustment Mode not the Print Mode.
REMEMBER:
PRESS the MODE SELECT button ONCE to ENTER the ADJUST IDLETEMPERATURE MODE.
PRESS the MODE SELECT button AGAIN (Second Time) to ADVANCEto the ADJUST PRINT TEMPERATURE MODE.
PRESS the MODE SELECT button AGAIN (Third Time) to ADVANCE tothe ADJUSTMENT TIME MODE.

STEP 6PRINT
Once the time, temperature and pressure are set, you are ready to begiprinting.
Fasten transfer to mug making sure it is straight and completely contactthe surface of the mug.
NOTE: COVER SHEET MAY BE REQUIRED FOR SOME APPLICATIO
Lower the mug into the press with the mug handle positioned so it iscentered between the press halves. While closing the press apply alight rearward pressure against the mug handle. This allows the heater assembly to wrap evenly around the mug thereby improving print qualityUse caution so as not to pinch fingers between the mug handle and preshalves as they close.
Once the press handle is locked into the closed position the press willheat up to the print temperature. When the print temperature is reachedthe timer will automatically count down and audibly signal you to openthe press. Opening the press will automatically re-set the timer for thenext print cycle.
CAUTION: MUG AND MUG HEATER SHROUD WILL BE VERY HOT.
Lift mug out of press grasping it by is handle only. Proceed accordinglyto the application instructions.
MUG PRESS SETTINGS
The machine when first turned on will be set at least pressure with thecontroller pre-programmed for:
0 0Idle Temperature = 205 F (95 C)
0 0Print Temperature = 390 F (199 C)Print Time = 2 Seconds
0 0200 F (93 C) = The lowest temperature the unit will display
0 0
205 F (95 C) = The lowest idle and print temperature possible0 0300 F (149 C) = The highest idle temperature possible
0 0430 F (221 C) = The highest print temperature possible
Light pressure is best for the true-sublimation transfers. Medium to higpressure is best for dye-sublimation transfers.
0 0The average Print Temperature for printing a mug is 390 F (199 C)The average Print Time for printing a mug is 2 seconds. (Total print timis approximately 2 minutes.
