Preparation of the working area A height-adjustable chair is useful and also a flat surface, e.g. a table, to lay the ironed laundry on. Make sure the ironer is level and secure and that it cannot roll sideways.
Pulling into shape and smoothing out Pull the dampened laundry into shape as usual. Smooth out ribbons, 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.
Switching on and off The I-0 "On-Off" switch is used for switching the ironer on and off. To switch on ^ Press the button in – The indicator light in the switch comes on. To switch off ^ Press and release the button – The indicator light in the switch goes out.
Select the roller speed There are 5 roller speed settings, from low (approx. 2 m/min) to high (approx. 4.5 m/min). A low speed makes it easier to iron complicated articles such as shirts and blouses. A lower speed should also be selected for folded items.
Feeding laundry in ^ Arrange laundry along the feed-in table so that it is straight and smooth. ^ Then carefully turn the roller by hand until the laundry makes contact with the heater plate (keep your fingers away from the heater plate). Then: ^ Press the foot pedal down.
For small items, e.g. handkerchiefs, alternate between using the right and left hand sides of the roller. Items with raised buttons should be ironed face down on to the roller so that they are pressed into the cushioned surface. A cloth should be placed over zips, metal buttons and hooks to protect the heater plate during ironing.
The following tips are intended as helpful suggestions to get you started. With practice you will probably find alternative ways of ironing which suit your style of working. Tea towels, hand towels, handkerchiefs, serviettes etc. Place on the feed-in table with the straight grain of the fabric towards the feed-in table.
Duvet covers ^ First do up poppers and buttons. Feed this end through the left hand side of the ironer first. Buttons should face into the roller. ^ Iron duvets in two runs lengthwise. Pillow cases ^ First do up poppers and buttons and feed this end through the ironer first.
Cuffs and sleeves ^ Pull sleeves smooth ready for ironing. Do not iron the cuff yet. ^ Iron the sleeves from the cuff seam to the underarm seam. ^ Iron both sides of each sleeve. Double cuffs should be folded (button hole to button hole) and ironed. Back / shoulder yoke Shirts with a shoulder yoke: ^ Fold the yoke along the back seam.
Back Iron the back in two sections, from the middle to the side seams. ^ Pull the shirt over the roller as far as the yoke seam - or to the collar seam on shirts without a yoke - and smooth it out. ^ Iron from the middle of the back to the armhole seam.
Collar Iron the collar from both sides. Do not iron any buttons! ^ Turn the collar and press if wished. Nightdresses Iron sleeves, yokes and back on a nightdress as you would a shirt. To iron the front: ^ Pull the nightdress over the roller leaving the sleeves and bodice hanging over the left hand side of the roller.
Pressing trousers ^ Iron each leg separately. Leave the top of the trousers hanging over the edge of the roller. ^ Cover with a damp cloth and turn the roller by hand until the trouser leg is covered by the heater plate. ^ Do the same to the other trouser leg.
, Disconnect the ironer from the electricity supply by switching off at the wall socket and withdrawing the plug before any cleaning and maintenance work. Cleaning the heater plate Limescale deposits and starch residues can be removed from the heater plate using a suitable proprietary cleaning agent.
Replacing the ironing cover The ironing cover should only be changed when the appliance is cold. ^ Remove the feed-in table. ^ Undo the ironing cover cords at each end of the roller. ^ Unwind the cover. ^ Completely unwind the cotton undercloth attached to the roller and let it hang down smoothly.
^ Insert the raw edge of the new ironing cloth into the retaining slot with the wrong side down. Keep side ties hanging free and smooth out. ^ Turn the roller by hand in the direction you iron (see arrow) until the cover retaining slot is at the bottom.
After the roller has gone through three or four revolutions and the end of the ironing cover is under the heater plate: ^ Switch off the ironer while keeping the foot pedal pressed down. The ironing cover is held firmly in place by the heater plate which is still lowered.
