How to install Cricut EasyPress 3

To set up your EasyPress 3, start with a flat, heat-resistant work surface and a suitable mat or heat-resistant surface protector. Unbox the press and plug it into a standard electrical outlet. Power on the device and follow the on-screen prompts or the Cricut Heat app instructions to pair the EasyPress 3 with your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. Ensure the app is installed and updated to access the latest features and material presets.

Within the Cricut Heat app, select the material you’re working with and the transfer you’re planning. The app will display the recommended temperature and dwell time for the EasyPress 3, then guide you through the entire pressing process. Place your chosen design on the garment or surface, position the EasyPress 3, and apply steady, even pressure. Maintain the recommended dwell time as indicated by the app, and avoid sliding or lifting during the press to prevent shifting of the design.

After the dwell time expires, carefully lift the EasyPress 3 away and allow the project to cool as directed by the app. Some transfers require a hot peel while others require a cold peel—your app guidance will tell you precisely which method to use. If you’re layering designs, follow the prescribed order and timing to ensure each layer adheres correctly without pilling, bubbling, or lifting. When you’re finished, turn off the device and unplug if not in use, then store on a clean, dry surface away from moisture and dust.

Maintenance is simple. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dust or residue, and ensure the heat platen remains clean before and after use. Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive pads. Regularly inspect the power cord and plug for signs of wear, and store the EasyPress 3 in a cool, dry place. With proper care, the ceramic-coated plate will maintain its smooth surface and even heating across many pressing sessions, helping you maintain consistent results project after project.
