HOT PRESS USERS MANUAL

MAIN CONTROLS

Initial Test

Verify that both of the circuit breakers on the rear panel of the press are

in the ON position (levers pointing to the right). Check that the Auto/

Manual

Manual switch located on the front panel is in the AUTO position, and

that the power switch is in the OFF position. Connect the power cord

to the electrical outlet. Remove any materials from inside the press,

then close and latch the lid. Turn the Pressure Adjustment Knob fully

clockwise (maximum vacuum).

Turn on the power switch on the front of the press. The displays on

the Timer and

Timer and

Timer

Temperature controllers should light up. The Timer will

normally indicate 2:00 and the temperature controller will indicate

room temperature. Within a minute or so, it will start to increase. After

about 15 minutes, the temperature should reach the setting that was

preset at the factory, normally 194°F (90°C).

Now press the Start button on the timer (the one in the upper right

corner). The vacuum pump should start, and the timer should begin to

count down. Within a few seconds, the pointer on the vacuum gauge

should start to move. Within 30 seconds, the reading should be steady

at 25" or higher.

When the timer reaches zero, the pump should automatically cut off,

and the vacuum should automatically be released. Check the vacuum

gauge, which should now be back at a zero reading.

Refer to the Troubleshooting section (pages 15-16) of this manual if

the equipment does not function as described above, or contact Drytac

for assistance.
