Default Hix swingman question

Hello,
Couple of questions here.
WHen heating up the press is it best to have the top platen over the bottom or swung out ?

Once I lay the shirt and transfer on the press and waiting for the press to heat up will it matter if the top is over top them or should it be swung out ?

When do you turn off the press ? If you have like 10 minutes between presses or more time or leave it on and turned down ?

When cooling down this thing makes a couple of big pops. Is that normal ?

THanks
Mark

I would leave it on between presses since it takes a while to heat up again.

My press does this as well, I think it's normal due to the metal cooling.
