to your press.

When you wish to move your press, first lock the mechanism,
then carry it by holding the handle.
3. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let the press cool
completely before closing and putting it away.
4. Always read garment labels and follow directions. If you are
unsure of the fiber content of your fabric, start with a low
temperature setting and increase the temperature gradually
until you obtain the results you request.
5. Some buttons, zippers and other trimmings may be sensitive
to heat, and may melt if ironed on too hot a setting. Make sure
to protect these items by placing face down on the ironing
plate or cover with a cloth before pressing.
6. If you place thick materials such as folded towels etc. It is not
possible to lower the handle completely. In this case keep the
handle at a position to exert just enough pressure for ironing.
Do not force the press closed as this may damage the
mechanism.
7. To protect your fabrics, do not keep the press closed for longer
than 3-5 seconds. Delicate fabrics may require a shorter
pressing time to avoid discoloration or fabric shine. Always try
a shorter time first or a small part of the garment if you are in
doubt.

position to cool down. Then close the press and lock the mechanism
using the locking knob by turning it to the “lock” position. After
locking the mechanism you can carry the appliance safely, easily
and prevent accidents during storing as well.

vertical position as this may cause accident.

using the locking knob; then carry it by holding the handle.
Temperature Control Knob:
This controls the temperature of the pressing plate. Always start
with the fabrics requiring the lowest temperature settings and
progress to those requiring higher temperatures to avoid having
to wait for the press to cool. If you need to reduce the temperature,
wait several minutes for the press to cool down in the open position
until it reaches the desired temperature.
Temperature Control light:
Red light indicates: The pressing plate is being heated.
Green light indicates: The pressing plate has been heated to the
desired temperature.
On/Off Switch:
The On/Off Switch on the press has two positions.

USING YOUR PRESS

and open the press. Plug the power cord to the electrical outlet.
Set the temperature control knob to the desired temperature. Turn
the On/Off switch to ‘I’ position. Wait about 10 minutes and when
the temperature control light turns green; your press is ready for
ironing.

the following pages. Be careful not to touch the hot surfaces when
you are placing or adjusting the ironing. Use the water spray bottle
provided when damping is needed. Gently pull down the pressing
handle.
Your press gives an overall ironing pressure of 46 kg on the ironing
board, so the ironing quality is excellent. However the ironing must
be positioned correctly to avoid unwanted creases. This can be
checked where necessary by closing the press briefly then opening
to check for creases. Ironing tip: Any stubborn creases are easily
removed by smoothing out when the garment is damp and warmed
by quickly opening and closing the press.

dark fabrics liable to shine.

CLEANING:
Pressing Plate: A regular wipe with a damp cloth should keep the
pressing plate clean but if anything is stuck to the plate immediate
wiping should clean the plate. If the need to use the cleaning stick
arises, the earlier it is applied, the easier it is to remove any stains.
Warning: Never use oven or other caustic cleaners as this type
of cleaners will damage the pressing plate. Also, do not use steel
wool or any other abrasive material.
Occasionally the pressing plate may be lightly stained by ironing
residues or by dry cleaning chemicals. It is advisable to remove
these and other stains by wiping the pressing plate whilst still
warm with clean absorbent paper or with a cloth then. As an
alternative rub the heating plate, whilst still slightly warm, with a
cloth soaked in vinegar. If the stains persist, dip the soaked cloth
in fine kitchen salt and rub the pressing plate again. If this cleaning
process is followed, ensure that any vinegar and salt traces are
wiped clear with a clean cloth before using the press again. This
process applies only to normal ironing residue. Severe stains or
melted deposits on the heating plate can be removed using an
iron cleaning stick.
