Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
The power requirements, voltage, and electrical specifications are located on the machine specification data plate, typically found on the rear or side of the press frame.
Pressure is adjusted using the manual knob (often black or red) located on the machine. Turn clockwise to increase pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease it. Never adjust the pressure while the press is clamped shut.
It is highly normal for the displayed temperature on the controller to fall, sometimes by up to 30Ā°C, when a cold item like a ceramic mug is placed into the press. The ADKINS heating element is designed to recover up to the set temperature very quickly.
Wipe the surface of the heat plate with a dry, non-abrasive cloth before use when the plate is cold (unplugged for at least 1-2 hours). Ensure the Teflon coating remains undamaged, and inspect the silicone pressing pad for wear, replacing it if print quality begins to deteriorate.
