INTRODUCTION
KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Congratulation on the purchase of your Countertop SubliPro-Ct sublimation oven!
Sublimation is dened as the process of change from a solid to a gas state without
passing through a liquid phase. When heated, sublimation dyes bind permanently
with the molecules of the substrate. Under the right pressure and temperature
condition, the substrate molecules open up and allow the gaseous dye molecules to
become trapped upon cooling. This color “trapping” results in a nearly undetectable
“hand” or sensation of any physical change of the substrate. Dye sublimation shirts
retain the original feel of their fabric, breathability and wicking characteristics. Non-
textile substrates – mugs, cellphone cases, photo-imaging wooden or metal plates,
etc. – show their color designs in unusual vibrancy and color retention. Since color
is now also more than superimposed layer, the design is also generally better
protected against abrasion.
The sublimation works on polyester, either as a fabric or as a coating on non-textile
substrates. The process does not work on cotton except when the cotton is spun in
combination of a substantial percentage of synthetic material. However, since only
the polyester fabric traps the sublimation dye, there is a direct relationship between
the vivacity and longevity of the images and their synthetic content.
Dye sublimation inks are translucent. As a result, printing on dark substrates can
only occur if printing on a white underbase (in the case of fabric) or on a white panel
(in the case on non-textile).
Over the past 20 years, the use of inkjet printers to create sublimation dye transfers
has grown exponentially, partly because of its growing popularity, but also because
of the declining price of dedicated desktop-size sublimation printers. Popularization
of the technique has created such a demand that these printers have now become
accessible to any small business willing to expand into this eld.
Key among sublimation’s advantages is the ability to produce accurate colors, ne
detail and durable prints.

state thermostat, digital timer, variable-speed 1/6 HP (0.124 KW) electric motor and
three racks as standard equipment. Each oven is provided with a standard 208 or
240 volt, 60 Hz., and 1- or 3-phase electrical service. Stainless steel oven interior
and exterior is standard.
A single oven may be installed on an open stand with lower storage rack (optional).
Legs are standard.
Your HIX SubliPro-Ct Electric Convection Oven is produced with quality workmanship
and material. Proper installation, usage and maintenance of your oven will result in
many years of satisfactory performance.
It is suggested that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all
of the instructions provided.

UNPACKING AND PLACEMENT
Before installing, verify that the electrical service agrees with the specications on
the oven rating plate, located on the inside of the top front cover. If the supply and
equipment requirements do not agree, do not proceed with installation. Contact
your HIX customer service representative immediately.
UNPACKING
This oven was inspected before leaving the factory. The transportation company
assumes full responsibility for safe delivery upon acceptance of the shipment.
Immediately after unpacking the oven, check for possible shipping damage. If this
oven is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier
within 15 days of delivery.
Do not use the door or its handle to lift the oven.
PLACEMENT
The placement of the oven needs to be on a stable level surface sufcient to support
the weight of the oven and must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper
operation Installations on supports restricting air circulation around the oven is not
advisable and may void the warranty. A minimum of three inches of clearance on
all sides and top as well as clearance from any combustible surfaces is required.

INSTALLATION
ATTACHING LEGS
The included legs must be installed on the SubliPro-Ct oven to provide sufcient air
circulation for the bottom of the oven. The legs screw into the four threaded inserts
located in the corners on the underside of the oven. Screw one leg into each insert.
LEVELING
Once the oven is in its permanent position, place a carpenter’s level on the oven
rack. Turn the adjustable feet in or out to level oven front-to-back and side-to-side.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
⚠ WARNING: Electrical and grounding connections must comply with the
applicable portions of the National Electrical Code and/or other
local electrical codes.
⚠ WARNING Disconnect the electrical power to the machine and follow lockout
/ tagout procedures.

Assure you have the proper receptacle installed before plugging to oven into power.
If the correct receptacle is not available for your oven’s power conguration, have a
licensed electrician install the proper receptacle to match that of your oven; NEMA
10-50P for single Phase or L15-30R for 3-Phase.

⚠ WARNING THE OVEN AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN
OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE OVEN.
CONTROLS (Fig. 3)
FAN SPEED CONTROL —
Adjusts air velocity in the oven. Turn the
dial to adjust the fan speed and increase
or decrease the air circulation inside the
oven chamber. Begin with a setting of 8
and adjust accordingly to achieve your
desired production results.
ON LIGHT (Amber) —
Lit when Master Switch or Oven Cool
Switch is positioned at ON.
OVER HEAT —
Comes on when the oven temperature
reaches 480°F. Oven will automatically
shut down and go into a cool down phase.
Oven will come back on after it stabilizes
to normal operating temperatures.
THERMOSTAT —
Controls oven temperature during cooking
operation.
TIMER —
Use to set heating cycle time. Timer range
is 0 to 99 minutes 59 seconds. Alarm
sounds continuously when elapsed time
counts down to 0; oven does not turn off.

PREPARATION
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using the oven for the rst time, it must be “burned in” to release any odors
that might result from heating the new surfaces in the chamber.
1. Using a clean damp cloth, wipe the inside of the oven, including the racks.
2. Close the oven doors, turn the Master Switch to ON, set the Thermostat to
300°F (149°C) and allow the oven to cycle for 6 to 8 hours before turning the
Power Switch to OFF.
USING THE HIX SUBLIPRO-CT OVEN
Getting Started
Sublimation printing is an indirect process which requires a printer capable of running
sublimation ink, a computer with the appropriate printer drivers, and a heat source.
As a heat source for textile or at non-textile products, use almost any of our small
format presses (visit www.hixgraphics.com for details). Presses come in small sizes
starting at 9 x 12”, 15 x 15”, 16 x 20”, and in mid-size of 20 x 25”.
For sublimation on 3D-substrates, our Mug Wraps in combination with a SubliPro
sublimation oven are particularly well designed to do the job. Whether using a
press or a Sublimation oven with Mug wraps, three variables are particularly
important: adequate sublimation dwell time, equal and sufcient pressure, equal
heat distribution at the appropriate temperature. Trust only equipment that provide
all 3 parameters in a controllable and uniform way. HIX equipment is designed to
provide these parameters within very narrow tolerances, which is critical for success.
Controllable time and temperature, properly and evenly distributed pressure and
temperature are built in to all our product and are the reason for their generational
popularity.
If the oven reaches 475°F, the display will show “OVERHEAT” to indicate the
maximum temperature has been exceeded. If the temperature continues to climb
to 480°F, the oven will automatically shut down and go into a cool down phase to
protect the oven, its components, and the environment surrounding the oven. Once
the temperature of the oven has stabilized to normal operating conditions, the power
can be turned back on by resetting the Power Button to its “ON” state.
