Troubleshooting

Device not heating up

Check that the power cord is securely plugged in and that the power outlet is functional. Ensure the temperature setting is above ambient room temperature and the timer is set.

Inconsistent transfer quality (e.g., faded or patchy)

Verify that the temperature and time settings are correct for the specific material and ink being used. Ensure even pressure is applied using the adjustable knob and that the silicone pad is in good condition and properly seated.

Digital display not responding

Unplug the machine, wait for 30 seconds, and plug it back in. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Alarm does not sound at the end of the timer

Check the device settings to ensure the alarm function is enabled. If it is enabled and still not working, consult the user manual or contact support.

Pressure seems too high or too low

Adjust the pressure knob carefully. Turn clockwise to increase pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease it. Test on scrap material to find the optimal setting.
