IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read all instructions before using your Elnapress. Elnapress is reserved
exclusively for domestic use.
To avoid risk of electric shock, burns, re or personal injury:
— Lock Elnapress before moving or transporting it.
— Never immerse the press in water or other liquid.
— Carefully follow the instructions for use.
— Do not use the press if damaged; do not try to repair or disassemble it.
For repair, contact a qualied technician. Improper repair or reassembly may
cause one of the risks listed above or void the warranty.
— Never use Elnapress if the cord or press is damaged. Replace the cable
with another cable supplied by an Elnapress authorized dealer.
— Connect the press only to a grounded wall socket.
If an extension cord is needed, make sure the amperage is the one intended
for Elnapress. A cord with a lower amperage may overheat.
Use only one extension cord with grounding. Make sure that the cord is not
inadvertently pulled or mishandled.
— In case of transport, make sure that the power cord is disconnected from
the press.
— To avoid overloading the circuit, do not use another high-voltage device at
the same time.
— The cable must not touch a hot surface.
— Allow the press to cool completely before closing it and storing it.
— This appliance may be used by children over 8 years of age and by persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if safely supervised or instructed on the use of the device and
understand the dangers involved.
— Children must not play with the appliance.
— Cleaning and maintenance of the press must not be performed by children
without supervision.
— After use, immediately unplug the plug; to remove it, pull the plug, not the
cord.
— Read the maintenance chapter before cleaning your Elnapress. There is a
risk of burns if the hot shoe is touched.

OPENING AND CLOSING
POWER SUPPLY
Slide the safety lock to the right to unlock Elnapress.
Place the left hand on the xed handle and the right hand on the movable
handle.
Raise the movable pressure lever with the right hand and accompany it until
the maximum opening and at the same time exert, with the left hand, a slight
downward force on the handle of the xed lever.
Release the right-hand grip by releasing the movable handle.
Accompany the heating shoe with the left hand towards the maximum opening.
Once the garment to be ironed has been placed on the board, place the left
hand on the xed handle and exert a downward pressure until the heating
shoe gets in contact with the board.
Hold the movable lever with your right hand and move it down. By bringing
the lever to maximum closing, maximum pressure is exerted. To obtain the
mini pressure, bring the lever to approximately half of its stroke (see the
appropriate tutorial on www.elnapress.com).
If necessary, repeat the same movement several times.
N.B. If the Vapojet is inserted into the xed handle, always keep your left hand
close to the lever. The left hand must never cover the word “Vapojet” on the
component.
Open the press. The rating plate, located
under the base, shows the voltage and
serial number. Make sure the voltage
matches that of your home.
Connect the plug of the power cable to the
plug of the press. Insert the plug of the
cable into the wall socket.
N.B. Elnapress must be connected to
a wall socket, grounded only. Read the
safety regulations carefully.

Slightly press the ON button with the press open.
A red light will illuminate.
At the same time the icon will light up green:
Select the desired ironing program by pressing the + button several times.
Elnapress 850 is able to manage two different temperature modes:
1. Manual in nylon, silk, wool mode
2. Using the new “Optimal Temperature” function. The function is activated
automatically when “cotton” mode is selected.
The two icons will light up simultaneously:
Cotton - Optimal Temperature.
The function allows you to be able to iron garments of different composition without
having to worry about the temperature regulation. For some newly designed fabrics,
such as garments that use chemical bers, we recommend doing an ironing test
(lowering and raising the pressure lever quickly) in a small area, ensuring that
the temperature cannot damage your garment. If the garment tends to rise from
the ironing board, we recommend entering manual mode by selecting a more
appropriate program (always check the temperatures indicated on the label of your
garment). When the right temperature is reached, the red light will switch off.
To switch off the press, repeatedly press the off button until you switch off all the
lights/bright icons.
N.B: If the press is closed, the temperature can only be lowered.

LIGHT
SAFETY FEATURES
Only for models equipped with LED light (check website www.elnapress.
com).
The light turns on and off by pressing the ON/OFF button located under the
central handle (see photo 1). It is possible to switch the light on or off even
when the press is off.
For further information see: www.elnapress.com
All models are equipped with a blocking mechanism ensuring a safe transport.
If by lack of attention the press should remain closed for more than ten
seconds, a double electronic safety system will trigger an acoustic signal
“beep-beep” which will interrupt the electrical circuit and will be reactivated
automatically by re-opening the press.
