Important Leveling Note
Proper bed leveling is essential before your first print. Press the home switch to begin leveling. When the printhead touches the magnetic plate, disconnect power and complete leveling. Ensure the nozzle is not too close (risk of crushing the plate) or too far away (prints won't adhere). Follow the included manual closely for best results.
