I am about to press my first item. Do I warm up the press with it closed or open? The directions don't say. It is a Hix Swingman 15 if that matters.

Thanks,
Mike

I like to do it with it open. It also warms up the stack of shirts next to it as Im about to start. For moisture removal purposes etc.

Do it open. If you have it closed, someone, or something is bound to distract you and pretty soon it will be closed for several minutes at 380 degrees. Ouch!
