1.4 Replacing of the heating element

There are different types of heating plates for this heat press. The instruction manual for the replacing of the heating element is described in chapter 3.6

• Heating element for a beer stein: diameter 95 mm• Heating element for a mug stein: diameter 72 mm• Heating element for a latte

1.5 Safety arrangements of the heat press

The BluePRESSLine MUG 4 plus is equipped with different safety arrangements, to make a safe usage possible

Main fuse 10A

The 10A fuse is located on the back side of the press. The fuse protects the press from damages and in case of a short circuit. If necessary, replace the fuse. The instruction manual for the replacement is described in point 4.2.

Acoustic signal

An acoustic signal will sound 3 seconds before the end of the pressing process.

1.6 Safety arrangements at the workspace

Testing the heat press

After a correct installation of the press it is important to ensure that the press works properly, isn't damaged and has no safety defects. Thetesting can only be done by the employer or other authorized persons and is mandatory to guarantee correct installation and safe usage ofthe press.If any irregularities regarding functionality or safety are found during the testing, these have to been noted and reported to Walter Schulze GmbH in written form within 7 days. Until clarification the press can not be used.

Information and Education

According to § 81 industrial relations law and § 14 employment protection law the employer has to make arrangements to give all information about the function and the range of application to the user.In particular the user needs to be acquainted with the complete manual and be explicitly informed of the dangers of working with the press.The details have to be explained in a coherent form and language.

Safety distance and ventilation

The press has to be installed at a place which gives enough space on both sides to put the material on.The space in front of the press has to be wide enough to let nothing disturb the user at work.Using the press with certain materials may create a strong smell. That’s why the user should evaluate the need for a ventilation system at the workplace.

Safety instruction:• The press should only be used by trained personal after notice of this manual• Only one person is allowed to work on the press at a time.• Beware of heating plate – risk of burns.• The plug has to be pulled out of the power outlet while maintenance.• Caution: please do not connect this press to any other outlet (socket) than those equipped with ground-fault protection ELCB

(earth leakage circuit breaker).

2. Initiation

2.1 Tips for transport

The BluePRESSLine MUG 4 plus is covered with a cardboard for transport. Right after the receiving you should check if the cardboard andthe press are in good condition. Later on, if you have to send the press somewhere, we ask you to cover the press with the samecardboard and in the same way. The press has to be cold and the pressure lever has to be pulled down.

2.2 Installation of the heat press

The press is delivered in a cardboard. After unpacking and connecting, you can work with the press. The BluePRESSLine MUG 4 plusdoesn't need any other montage or installation

2.3 Power supply

The BluePRESSLine MUG 4 plus has to be connected to a voltage of 230VAC/ 50Hz. The press is equipped with a plug. Make sure thatthe power outlet is in the right condition and that the grounding is connected to the power outlet. Caution: please do not connect this press to any other outlet (socket) than those equipped with ground-fault protection ELCB (earth leakagecircuit breaker).

2.4 Initiation of the heat press

While powering up the press, the movable part has to be in the upper position, which means that the press has to be open. The press alsohas to be open while heating up. The press can be turned on with the green switch. If the green switch glows the press heats up to theadjusted temperature. After finishing the work with the press the switch has to be turned off and the plug has to be pulled out.

3.2 Bugfixing of the electronic devices

The electronic devices of the BluePRESSLine MUG 4 plus heat press control the main functions of the press.

Here is a list of possible messages:

ERR.1 – No connection of the electronic devices to the temperature sensor, (Temperature sensor defect/ cable not connected)ERR.2 – Connection of electronic devices and temperature sensor bypassed , (Temperature sensor defect/)ERR.3 – Resistor of temperature sensor too low. The temperature range of the electronic devices is deceeded.ERR.4 – Resistor of temperature sensor too high. The temperature range of the electronic devices exceeded.ERR.5 – No temperature rise within 3 minutes even if heating element is switched on. (Temperature fuse is defect)ERR.6 – No reduction of the temperature within 3 minutes even if heating element is turned off. (Power relay CRYDOM is defect)ERR.7 – Temperature too high, over 230°C (Power relay CRYDOM is defect)

ERR.3 and ERR.4 can occur if the electronic devices are not programmed properly.

3.3 „ECO” mode

With the ECO mode you will save power. If the ECO mode 1, 2 or 3 is active, the electronic devices will control the progress of work ofthe press. If you should have forgotten to turn-off the press, never mind, the ECO mode will deactivate it. In phase 1 of the ECO mode,while the press is momentarily not in use, the temperature will decrease 50°C (a 3 second long acoustic signal will sound). In phase 2, ifthe press is furthermore not in use, the heating elements will be deactivated to save power (5 sec. acoustic signal).

3.4 Application range and sample adjustments of the heat press

This heat press is made for transfers to cups and pitchers. Here are some settings.

Settings sublimation to a cup (Example):

– Print temperature 180°C– Time 4 minutes

You must never close the heat press without a cup inside!

3.5 Apply a transfer film to a cup

Insert the cup with the transfer filminto the press.

Press the cup into the heating element.

Continue to press the cup down while closing the press with the lever. The press will heat up to the programmed temprature and the count the preset time down. After the lapse of time a acustic signal will sound. Open the press and take the cup out.

3.6 Pressure settings

The contact pressure setting screw is placed at the front of the heat press. To adjust the settings, the heat press must be open. Thecontact pressure should not be too high, otherwise there could be a partial damage. After every modification you have to test the newsettings.

Damage, which is made by an excessive pressure setting, is not covered by the warranty.

If you want to make the pressure settings, please follow this description:

1. Place the cup in the heat press.2. Close the heat press to check up the contact pressure.3. Open the heat press.4. To raise the contact pressure twirl the screw to the left

(+).5. To downsize the contact pressure twirl the screw to

the right (-).

3.7 Replacing of the heating band

Before you change the heating band, switch off the heat press and pull the plug out from the wall outlet. The heating band must becooled. 1. Unscrew the heating band and take it out (photo 1 and 2).2. Cut the connector of the cable (photo 3).3. Pull up the cable (photo 4). 6. Take out the old heating band and install the new one.

Check if the heat press is ready to work.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Maintenance

If necessary grease the movable elements.Switch off the heat press and pull the heat press out from the wall outlet. The heating band must be cooled.You can use a casual car grease.

4.2 Replacing the main fuse

If the heat press does not work and the main switch is on, check the main fuse. The main fuse 10A is placed at the left side of the heatpress (photo 1). To change the main fuse switch off the heat press and pull out the plug from the wall outlet. The heating band must becooled . Unscrew the broken fuse (photo1). Change the fuse (photo 2-3) and screw on the new fuse.

4.3 Replacing of the electronic devices

The electronic devices are placed inside the heat press and are regulating the time and temperature. To replace the electronic devices switch off the heat press and pull the plug out from the wall outlet. The heating band must be cooled. You can use a screwdriver (photo 1) and unscrew the upper part of the press .Lay it like on the pictures (photo 2 – 3). Pull out the green plug (photo 3). Unscrew the electronic device (photo 5) and take out the electronic device (photo 6). Take a new electronic device and connect it with the green plug. Put the electronic device in the heat press.
