    Understanding my new Heat Press instructions for temp & time setting

    Hello All,

    Just want to quote from the the instructions & see if anyone can simplify or explain it for me, probably having a senior moment but when I try it, I just get a continual beeping Both helpful & amusing answers are invited

    Quote "Setting temperature, you should set between the initiative lowest temperature 230F and the highest temperature 330F.
    A: Set initiative lowest temperature
    Press the `Mode` in the area directly over the press first time, the setting indicator light turns red, press ">" or "<" to raise or lower the temperature, make sure it is 230 (230 Fehrenheit), the initiative lowest temperature.
    B: Set the highest temperature
    Press the `Mode` second time, the temperature indicator light will turn red, Press ">" or "<" tp raise or lower, setting the temperature around 330F;
    2. Setting time, Press the`Mode`third time, the time indicator light will turn red, Press ">" or "<" to raise or lower to adjust time around 45 seconds;
    3. Setting is finished, press the `Mode` forth time to confirm the setting program;

    Hi Justin,
    It`s a "Digital combo heat press series" swing away press from a friend of ours on the forum. Would contact him but he may be doing his xmass shopping

    OK, not an awful lot to go on, maybe someone will recognise and be able to help, doesn't look overly complicated. No model numbers etc?

    This looks similar to ours so here goes. Settings differ for mugs and for flat press.

    For flat bed press:
    1. Press Mode button and this will set the 'idle temperature'. Set this to 190-200 degrees (if in C) or 374 (if in F). < and > buttons decrease/ increase.
    2. Press Mode button again and this will set the 'operating temp'. This should be the same as (1)
    3. Press Mode button again and this will set the time. Set this to 60 seconds if that's what you need for the time.
    4. Press Mode button again and you get back to the start

    The press will heat to the 'idle temp' and give a 'beep beep' when reached and it will stay at that temp. Press the far right button to start the timer once press engaged. The press will rise to the 'operating temp' and then count down.

    If using the mug attachment then the idle temp should be set no higher than 110 degrees (in C), 230 degrees (in F), operating temp should be 170 degrees (in C), 338 degrees (in F) and time of 140 seconds (assuming your using a Ricoh printer).
