Precautions

Please read these instructions and precautions carefully before operating the device for the
first time!

  • Never reach into the heat press with your hands when it is connected to the power supply,
    especially when it is turned on and heated - risk of burns!

  • Never open the casing or make any modifications to the device yourself.

  • If, upon explicit instruction from Secabo customer service, it is necessary to open the
    heating plate cover, it is recommended to wear respiratory protection and handle the
    insulation wool inside with gloves. Disposal of the insulation wool should only be done in a
    sealed bag.

  • Ensure that neither liquids nor metal objects enter the interior of the heat press.

  • Make sure that the socket used is grounded. Note that a heat press must only be operated
    on a socket protected by an FI circuit breaker.

  • Disconnect the heat press from the power supply when not in use.

  • Always operate the heat press out of the reach of children and never leave the powered-on
    device unattended.

  • Ensure that the device is only used in dry rooms.
