 ====General Procedure====
 # Select a heating element. Heating elements come in different sizes with their own connection cord.  This is not an exact science, simply slide the mug into the element and make sure it can wrap around it with a snug fit.
-# Use the black set screws to secure the heating element into the press and plug it into the controller. Make sure to screw in the plug as well to ensure a good connection.

-# Once the heating element is installed you will want to adjust the pressure applied to the mug using the four large pressure adjustment knobs. The pressure should be evenly distributed across the mugs's surface and firm without risk of crushing it.

-# Adjust the time and temperature. 385 °F for 190 seconds is recommended as a starting point but feel free to try new things to improve the results. See the image below for details on changing the time and temp. [[File:Mug press temp.png|none|thumb|799x799px]]

 ====Operation====
-The operation of the mug press is pretty simple. First, select a heating element that fits your glass or mug and fasten it into place using the black screws. There is no formula for selecting the correct element other than putting your mug inside and making sure it fits snug. Adjust the pressure using the large black knobs so that there is a firm, even pressure over the mug. Next, set the time and temperature. Feel free to experiment with different values as there is not an exact formula, but for dye sublimation set the temperature around 385°F for 190 seconds. The paper should have light tan look after removing it from the press. If the paper appears burnt the temperature should be decreased. After the time and temperature are set place the mug in the element and clamp down. The timer will beep once the transfer is complete. For complete details see the general procedure.
