Follow these tips to keep your heat press in shape:

• Dust
  Keep working area clean and dust-free.
  Dust can be detrimental, especially for electrical components.
  Use an air duster to clean the electrical components every six months.
• Upper platen care
  Use a cover sheet during heat application.
  Clean with a damp, soft cloth once a month.
  For larger jobs use an iron cleaner or mineral spirits.
  Protect platen from excess inks and residue with an upper platen cover. If ink transfers onto the platen, rub off with a rag at 160° C (320° F).
• Bottom platen care
  Replace lower platens when silicone begins to deteriorate.
  Lower platens are available in many different shapes and sizes. 
  Clean platen covers with a damp cloth.
  Lower platen covers reduce wear and tear.
• Lubrification
  Threaded adjustment spindles on manual units can be lightly lubricated with high-temp lithium grease.
  Grease all exposed rods once per year.
• Cord
  Use the cord that comes with your heat press; other cords may fit but are unable to carry the necessary voltage.
  To avoid fire and other safety issues do not put cords on or near hot surfaces.
• Cold spots
  Even heat is essential for proper application.
  Check yearly (or as needed) using a test kit machine.
