HIX digital heat presses can now be programmed to shutdown after they've sat idle for a set amount of time. This new feature will prevent machines from cycling on and off when they are not in use.

Here's how to program the machine for Shutdown:

1. With the main power off, push in and hold the "Menu" button.
2. With the "Menu" button held in, apply power and continue to hold the "Menu" button in for about 3 seconds, and then release the "Menu" button.
3. Press the "Menu" button four more times until you see "SEC" in the display. While still holding the "Menu" button down while displaying "SEC" press the "Down" button.
4. Next release both the "Menu" and "Down" buttons.
5. Next press the "Menu" button one more time so you see "SDN" in the display.
6. Press "UP" or "Down" button to change this value as shown below. Once the value is change to what is desired, simply turn the power to the machine off and back on to store the new setting.

Value of 0 (default) to 12 hours (displayed as 120) adjustable in 1/2 hour increments. 5=1/2 hour, 10=1 hour, 15=1-1/2 hours etc.
If after this amount of time elapses the start switch is not closed the heater will shut off and the display will show "OFF" on the display. One minute before the controller shuts the heat down the beeper will beep 5 times to alert the user that the heat is about to shut down. To prevent this from happening, close the heat head to activate the start switch and cancel the shutdown timer. Once the machine is in "OFF" mode, close the heat head or press any of the menu or UP/DOWN buttons on the timer to take the machine out of the "OFF" mode.
