Pulling into shape and smoothing
out
Pull damp laundry into shape as usual.
Smooth out ties, straps, seams and
hems.
Large items such as table cloths, bed
linen etc. should be folded lengthways
into a number of pleats so that they can
be ironed as easily as possible.
Sorting
Sort the laundry according to how
much heat is required for ironing.
First iron synthetic fibres such as nylon,
polyester and artificial silk which only
require a low temperature. Then iron
silk, wool, cotton and linen at increasing
temperatures.
Iron starched items last of all to avoid
any starch deposits from affecting the
finish of other items.
Before using the ironer for the fist
time:
You may be able to see or feel a 2-3
mm high ridge along the roller.
This will even itself out after about 3
hours of ironing, enabling the
undercloth to settle. It has no effect on
the ironing.
Checking that the finger guard
is functioning properly.
The finger guard is a safety feature and
should always be checked before using
the ironer.
^ With the ironer switched on, press the
foot pedal right down. The heater
plate will lower itself onto the rotating
roller.
^ If you now lift the finger guard, the
roller will stop rotating and the heater
plate will rise up.
^ Let go of the finger guard and take
your foot off the foot pedal.
^ Press the foot pedal right down
again. The heater plate will lower
itself onto the rotating roller.
