BEFORE USE
Before starting the appliance for the first time, always remember that an improper use, assembly or maintenance can be hazardous. Please, carefully read the instructions on page 2,3,4,5.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (UK ONLY)
For your safety please read the following information.
Warning! This appliance must be earthed.
The appliance must be connected to a 220-240 volts 50 cycle AC supply by means of a three pin socket, suitably earthed and should be protected by a 13 amp fuse in the plug. The appliance is supplied with a rewireable 13 amp 3 pin plug fitted with a 13 amp fuse. Should the fuse require replacement, it must be replaced with a fuse rated at 13 amp and approved to BS1362. If the mains plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home or is removed for any other reason, then the cut off plug should be disposed of safely to prevent the hazard of electric shock. There is a danger of electric shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket outlet.
How to wire a 13 amp plug.
Important
The wires in the mains lead on this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:
- Green and Yellow – Earth
- Blue – Neutral
- Brown – Live
The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or with the earth symbol . The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked N. The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked L.
POSITIONING
When setting up the ironing board please note the following:
- Place the ironing board on a flat, even, dry surface, near an earthed power socket
- Position the ironing board securely so that nobody can knock it over or get hurt.
- Never put the appliance on or near warm surfaces or near flames
- Use the appliance indoors only.
- To avoid scalding, keep the appliance away from children.
- Use only the correct extension cables in accordance with the advice given on pay attention not to trip over the cord.
Put up the ironing board as follows:
- Place the ironing board upright on the floor (folded shelf end downward).
- Hold the end of the ironing board with one hand.
- With the other hand hold the upper part of the ironing board legs.
- Firmly pull the ironing board wide apart (1.) until the adjustment height device locks in place (2.).
- Place the ironing board in a horizontal position (3.).
- Unfold the shelf as shown here.
Note: Be careful that the feet of the ironing board don’t slip on smooth floors while opening/closing the ironing board.
Insert the iron cord support in one of the small holes on each side of the ironing board and hang the iron steam cord. The iron cord support keeps the iron cord away from the surface of the board while ironing to avoid the cord moving or dragging the garment. The iron cord support also prevents “wear and tear” of the iron cord due to rubbing against the edges or surface of the board.
IRONING BOARD START-UP
- Plug the power supply cord from your iron/steam generator into the auxiliary socket built-in to the ironing board.
- Plug the power supply cord from your ironing board into a 13amp wall socket and switch the socket on.
- Switch the appliance on using the power on/off switch (3). The power on/off switch activates the ironing board and the generator or steam iron plugged into the auxiliary socket.
SUCTION/BLOWING FUNCTION AND HEATING OF THE BOARD
The suction absorbs the excess steam, which is no longer used after the
ironing process. The suction helps hold the garment on the ironing surface and
helps to dry the garment. Garment SELECTOR SWITCH ironed with this board are
ready to be placed straight in the wardrobe without further airing. The heated
ironing surface stays dry, and keeps the steam hot so that it passes through
the board to be expelled without condensing.
WARNING! If the ‘SELECTOR SWITCH‘ is in the “0” position (none of the two
functions between suction and blowing is active), use your iron in dry-ironing
mode (without steam), to avoid the condensation inside the board.
SUCTION FUNCTION
With the suction function, light fabrics (silk etc.) can be held in place on the ironing board, preventing them from slipping. The suction function cools and sets the fabric during ironing, guaranteeing no wrinkles.
- For the suction function set the selector switch on position “I” (4).
- With the switch in position “0”, the suction function is switched off.
Starting the Appliance
BLOWING FUNCTION
The blowing function allows you to iron on a pillow of air without applying downward pressure. This makes ironing of delicate items, or difficult areas (trousers folds, pockets, seams, difficult areas to reach), much easier and avoids the visible signs or seam crushing.
- For the blowing function set the selector switch on position “II” (5).
- With the switch in position “0”, the blowing function is switched off.
Shutdown Operations
