Testing the oven
After correct installation of the oven it is important to ensure
that the oven works properly, isn’t damaged and has no safety
defects. Testing can only be done
by the employee or another authorized person and is mandatory
to guarantee correct installation and safe usage of the oven. If
any irregularities regarding
functionality or safety are found during testing, these have to be
noted and reported to Technotape International in written form
within 7 days. Until clarification the oven cannot be used.
Information and Education
The employer has to make arrangements to give all information
about the function and the range of application to the user. In
particular the user needs to be acquainted with the complete
manual and be explicitly informed of the dangers of working with
the oven. The details have to be explained in a coherent
form and language.
Safety Distance and Ventilation
The oven has to be installed in a place which gives enough
space on both sides to put the material on. The space in front
of the oven has to be wide enough to let nothing disturb the
user at work. Using the oven with certain materials may create a
strong smell. That’s why the user should evaluate the need for a
ventilation system at the workplace.
Safety Intructions
• The oven should only be used by trained personnel after noti-
ce of this manual.
• Only one person is allowed to work on the oven at the time.
• Beware of the inside of the oven - the risk of burns may occur.
• The power cable has to be pulled out of the power outlet for
maintenance.
• Do not connect this oven to any other outlet (socket) than tho-
se equipped with ground-fault protection ELCB (Earth Leakage
Circuit Breaker).

the voltage corresponds to the value given in the rating plate
and that the electrical cable sections can withstand the load
specified on the plate. The plug must be connected to an
earthed socket in compliance with safety standards.
2. Switch the oven on with the main switch. No further assembly
is required.
3. Please continue to chapter 3 ‘Working with the 3D Sublimati-
on Oven’.
Warning
When correctly installed, your product meets all safety require-
ments laid down for this type of product category.
Fire risk!
Do not store flammable material in the oven. Always
use oven gloves when removing products from the oven whilst
hot. The manufacturer declines all liability for injury to persons
or damage to property caused by incorrect or improper use of

3.1 Quality Guarantee and Support
Technotape can only offer support for the 3D Sublimation Oven
when it’s used in combination with a Virtuoso VJ-628 (Mutoh)
Printer, Xtreme Sublimation Foils and Sublimation Products
supplied by Technotape. Other combinations can be possible,
but are not tested and therefore not supported.
Temperature Settings
Press the temperature settings icons (see image 3.2.1). Adjust temperature by pressing the button marked with arrows in the
middle of the control panel, up (see image 3.2.2) or down (see image 3.2.3). After setting the temperature press the home button to
confi rm.

3.2 Setting Parameters
After switching on the oven, make sure that the drawer is
open to adjust the settings. Settings for pre-heating the foil,
temperature and time can be changed by using the display. The
oven is made for 3D Sublimation purposes.
Vacume Settings
Press the vacuum time button (see image 3.2.4). Adjust vacuum time by pressing the button marked with arrows in the middle of
the control panel, up (see image 3.2.5) or down (see image 3.2.6). After setting the vacuum time press the home button to confi rm.

Image 3.2.15
Image 3.2.14
Image 3.2.16
Open the drawer to place the unprinted sublimation products on the production jigs.
Then place the printed 3D foil and make sure that the foil is placed correctly (see ima-
ge 3.5.13). The foil must be placed under the lips.
NOTE:
Print the image onto the matte side of the 3D Foil and let it dry for at least one
production run.
Close the drawer and the pre-heating time will start counting down (see image 3.5.14).
After the foil pre-heating time is finished the process timer will start automatically (see
image 3.5.15). Vacuum is measured in the oven by a transmitter. The measured value
is displayed (see image 3.5.16). The vacuum has to be within the green range. It’s
important for the process that there is enough vacuum.
Image 3.5.13
Image 3.5.17
When the process is finished the drawer will open automatically, remove the film and
remove the finished products from the production jigs. The display will return
to Ready (see image 3.5.17) and you can start a new cycle.
3.5 Get Started
Close the drawer of the oven to start pre-heating (see image 3.5.10).
When the drawer is closed the oven will start the pre-heating process (see image 3.5.11). After the pre-heating process the display
will show: “Ready” (see image 3.5.12).
NOTE:
The 3D Sublimation Oven needs approximately 30 minutes to pre-heat before the first production run.

4.1 Maintainance
Switch off the oven and take the power
cable out of the wall outlet. The oven
must be cooled before any maintenance.
4.2 Replacing the Main Fuse
If the oven does not work and the main switch is on, check the main fuse.
To change the main fuse; switch off the oven and pull out the plug of the wall outlet. The oven must be completely cooled down. The
main fuse 10A is placed on the motherboard, which is placed under the hood on the right side of the oven (see image 4.2.1)
Remove the hood from the oven to take out the broken fuse (see image 4.2.2).
Replace with a new fuse (see image 4.2.3). Replace the hood of the oven and put the plug back in and switch on the oven to check
the fuse.

4.3 R
eplacing the filters
The filters are placed inside the oven. On the back of the oven there are two housings for holding the filters. The filters-houses can
be opened by hand. New filters can be ordered at www.technotape.com article: 3DT.SUB.AIR.FT1
NOTE:
Always replace both filters at the same time.
Open both filter-housing endcaps with your fingers (see image 4.3.1). Place your hands within the grooves of the endcap and turn
clockwise. Unscrew the whole endcap and take out the filter (see image 4.3.2).
Replace the old filter for a new one. Tighten the endcap by hand, make sure that the seal ring is placed in the right groove (see
image 4.3.3).
