5. Instrucțiuni de utilizare
5.1. Setarea temperaturii și a timpului
- Pornire: Porniți mașina folosind comutatorul de alimentare.
- Temperatura setată: Apăsați tasta MOD button once to enter temperature setting mode. Use the PLUS (+) şi MINUS (-) buttons to adjust the desired temperature (e.g., 180°C).
- Setați ora: Apăsați tasta MOD button again to enter time setting mode. Use the PLUS (+) şi MINUS (-) buttons to adjust the desired time (e.g., 60 seconds).
- Setare ieșire: Apăsați tasta MOD button a third time to exit setting mode. The machine will begin heating to the set temperature.
5.2. Sublimation Process
- Prepare Mug: Wrap your sublimation transfer paper tightly around the mug, securing it with heat-resistant tape.
- Preîncălzire: Lăsați aparatul să atingă temperatura setată.
- Load Mug: Carefully place the prepared mug into the heating element.
- Start Press: Apăsați tasta Stop/Start button. The pneumatic mechanism will automatically clamp the mug, and the timer will begin counting down.
- Monitor: The machine will maintain the set temperature and pressure throughout the cycle.
- Finalizare: Once the timer reaches zero, the machine will automatically release the mug. Carefully remove the hot mug using heat-resistant gloves.
- Răcire: Allow the mug to cool completely before removing the transfer paper.
5.3. Adjusting Pressure (Pneumatic Rate)
The ST-110 features adjustable pressure for optimal transfer results. There are two adjustment valves, one for the rate at which the mug is clamped (in) and one for the release rate (out).
- Adjust In Rate: Turn the "ENTER" valve to adjust how quickly the mug is clamped.
- Adjust Out Rate: Turn the "OUT" valve to adjust how quickly the mug is released.
- Adjust these valves incrementally and test with a spare mug until the desired speed and pressure are achieved.

6. Întreținere
- curatenie: Regularly wipe down the exterior of the machine with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure the machine is unplugged and cool before cleaning.
- Întreținerea filtrului de aer: The air filter (if present) should be cleaned regularly to ensure proper pneumatic function.
- Take out the air filter from the machine.
- Se toarnă apa colectată.
- Clean it regularly to improve equipment lifespan.
- Depozitare: Depozitați aparatul într-un mediu uscat, fără praf atunci când nu este utilizat.

7. Depanare
Common Issue: Inflating pump is working, but air cylinder is not going forward.
Cauza posibila: The solenoid valve may be stuck due to frequent pressing of the STOP button or lack of regular cleaning.
Solutii:
- Soluția 1:
- Unscrew the solenoid valve.
- Take out the air cylinder (as shown in the diagram).
- Push the air cylinder forward and backward 10 times by hand.
- Reinstall the air cylinder and solenoid valve.
- Soluția 2:
- Connect an air compressor.
- Unscrew the solenoid valve.
- Use the external air pressure to make the solenoid valve move forward and backward.
