OPENING AND CLOSING

Slide the safety lock to the right to unlock Elnapress.
Place the left hand on the fixed 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 fixed 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 fixed 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. If necessary, repeat the same movement several times. N.B. If the Vapojet is inserted into the fixed handle, always keep your left hand close to the lever. The left hand must never cover the word “Vapojet” on the component.

POWER SUPPLY

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 toa wall socket, grounded only. Read the safety regulations carefully.

TURN ON ELNAPRESS AND ADJUST TEMPERATURE

ELNAPRESS 250S/250SE

With the press still open, press the digital pressure on/off button. The green and red lights will illuminate to indicate that the press is on and warming up.
Turn the temperature regulator up to the desired level.
When the right temperature is reached, the red light will switch off.
To switch off the press, press lightly on the digital pressure switch again.
N.B: If the press is closed, the temperature cannot be adjusted.

IRONING TEMPERATURES
Before ironing the garment, check that the symbols on its label correspond to the temperature adjustment mode.

ELNAPRESS 450SE

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 450SE 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 the “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 compositions without having to worry about temperature regulation. For some newly designed fabrics, such as garments that use chemical fibers, 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.

IRONING TEMPERATURES
Before ironing the garment, check that the symbols on its label correspond to the temperature adjustment mode.

SAFETY FEATURES

All models are equipped with a locking mechanism ensuring safe transport.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL MODELS
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.
ELNAPRESS 250S / 250SE / 450SE
If Elnapress is left on when it is open and not used for 15 minutes, the electric current is switched and the press will automatically be turned off by sending a sound “beep-beep” signal. To reactivate it, press the power button.
ELNAPRESS 450SE
At each automatic or manual switch-off, the software checks all its functions. If after 45 min the temperature is still = /> 65°, the safety system will block all the functionalities to safeguard your product and the environment where you are ironing. The display will light up again and warn you by sending a sound “beep beep” signal The system can NOT be restored and reset by simply switching off (Off button) your ironing press.
Once you have noticed the anomaly, please follow the instructions below:

1. Switch off the press with the appropriate button (see switch-off instructions)
2. Disconnect the cable from the product (if it is still connected) Contact an Elnapress authorized service center (refer to our website www.elnapress.com).

VAPOJET SYSTEM

Elnapress is equipped with an exclusive Vapojet system for the formation of natural steam. The Vapojetet allows spraying simple tap water directly on the items to be ironed. The natural vaporization combined with the automatic pressure and the heating shoe heat regenerates the fibers of the fabric in depth. The (force of) natural vaporization is obtained by combining the vaporization of the Vapojet, with the forces exerted by the Elnapress ironing board, the automatic pressure, and the heat of the heating shoe. This combination of forces and elements are formed directly inside your garments and in addition to obtaining an impeccable ironing quality without any effort, it is able to regenerate the fibers of the fabric in-depth enhancing the colors and safeguarding them from aging.
The Vapojet operates without any electricity consumption.
N.B. Do not put starch in the water.

USING THE VAPOJET

To remove the Vapojet, simply slide it out of the fixed handle.

1. Remove the cap and fill it with about ¾ of water.
   Do not completely fill the Vapojet.

2. Replace the cap and slide the Vapojet onto the fixed handle. Press the lever first slowly, then faster until nebulization. Now it’s ready to use.
   If at first use after following step 2 your Vapojet does not nebulize we recommend:
   1. Carefully check that the cap closure is correct. In case open and close again.
   2. Position the Vapojet vertically, directly under the sink tap and with the cap facing upwards.
   Open the cap and start the water filling procedure. While filling and remaining in a vertical position, press the Vapojet lever repeatedly until nebulization. When in operation, close the cap and hook the Vapojet to your press.

3. Place the garments on the board, spray the Vapojet lever several times and lower the heating shoe to create natural steam.

N.B: you can perform the spraying operation even while you are lowering the heating shoe.

PRECAUTIONS

— Remove the vaporizer from the handle when you stop or finish ironing.
— Place Vapojet vertically (cap below) to prevent drops of water from falling.
— Empty the vaporizer after use.
— At the end of ironing, close and open the still warm press a few times, without linen, to dry and protect the cover and the padding.
— Do not put starch in the water.

OPERATE THE SLEEVE BOARD

ELNAPRESS 250 / 450 / 450SE

Place your hands on the surface of the Sleeve board and rotate it upwards. Once the locking device is activated, at the stroke end press firmly until you hear the click.

AFTER USE

Turn off Elnapress following the instructions on pages 15-16.
Remove and empty the Vapojet. While the press is still hot, open it and close it several times to let the board cover and foam padding dry. Leave the press open until it is completely cold.
As mentioned in the “Safety Features” section if the press is switched off and closed while the plug is still inserted, a safety alarm will be triggered if the specific internal “product safeguard” sensor detects a temperature = /> 65° after 45 min. from its switching off.
N.B. Do not close or block the press before it has cooled.
This operation is only possible if the optional accessory “Protective sheet” is used (see accessories list page. 24-25).

TRANSPORT ELNAPRESS

Always close the press and lock it with the appropriate safety hook before moving it. To store it, take it by the fixed handle.

TIPS FOR IRONING (ALL MODELS)

There are cases in which special attention must be paid to the labels of your garments as usually happen with an iron.
We recommend ironing all clothes slightly damp.

PREPARE THE LINEN
We recommend starting with the lowest temperatures, to first iron the delicate items and increase temperature according to the fabrics.
We recommend that you properly layout your garments on the ironing board by manually flattening any unwanted creases formed after insertion and/or placement of clothing. Simply move your hands horizontally on the ironing board, thus avoiding touching the heating shoe.
Leave the press closed for a few seconds to press the garment.
If the shoe is closed for more than ten seconds, the electronic safety alarm will trigger and the current will automatically stop. When the press is opened, the current will reactivate.
N.B: The “beep-beep” is a safety device that comes into operation if the press remains closed for more than 10 seconds and is NOT a heating shoe opening signal.
Two Elnapress golden rules:

1. Get used to correctly positioning the item in the large space behind the ironing board.
2. Always move the item forward towards you.

MINI PRESSURE
Some fabrics do not require total pressure. By lowering the movable handle, about halfway or less, you can apply a mini pressure. If necessary, repeat the operation several times. Use mini pressure for delicate fabrics such as: wool, velvet, applications, ties, etc.

INTEGRATED SLEEVE BOARD
It is useful for ironing baby clothes, shirt cuffs, folds, pockets, yokes, etc. Thanks to its particular shapes it replaces and improves the performance of the tip of an iron.

IRONING CUSHION
The cushion is used for ironing the most difficult points and/or perfecting the ironing of details such as darts, collars, cuffs, seams, buttons, zippers etc. It can be inserted in one end of the sleeve board or be placed on the large board, inserted inside the items or used by inserting the hand inside the lining placed in the lower part of the cushion and positioning the item on the upper surface, rubbing it directly onto the heating shoe to iron and/or retouch some points of the item.

BUTTONS, ZIPPERS, PINS
The padded ironing board allows the buttons to sink into the padding without breaking. Be careful not to use too high a temperature that can melt synthetic material. If you are not sure, put the item upside down. Never put in contact mother-of-pearl buttons with the heating shoe.

ACCESSORIES LIST

MAINTENANCE

PADDING AND IRONING COVER FOR THE BOARD
By continuously using your ironing press, the padding flattens and the ironing is no longer impeccable; therefore, it is necessary to replace the foam and the board cover when they are worn (see accessories list).
Important: Use only original Elnapress accessories.
The covers can be washed at 30°C.

CLEANING OF THE HEATING SHOE T
The heating shoe requires simple cleaning. We recommend at each use, before turning off the machine, to pass a soft cloth over the entire surface of the shoe.
For cleaning your press, you must use only Elnapress “cleaning liquid” that you will find among the various accessories that can be purchased separately. Never use cleaning products other than this specific one or steel wool pads or abrasive products.
To clean the heating shoe with Elnapress “cleaning liquid”:
— Turn on Elnapress, position the temperature on silk. Once the temperature has been reached, disconnect the electric cable directly from the press.
— Turn the press over on a level, so that the heating shoe looks towards you. Be careful that the cover is not scratched.
— Spread the cleaning liquid with a microfiber cloth and wipe the entire shoe surface. Once finished remove the halos from the shoe by wiping them with a dry microfiber cloth.
— After cleaning the heating shoe, recreate a thin layer of protection using the “Heating shoe protection liquid” (optional accessory) on the surface of the shoe.
Switch on and position at maximum temperature.
Spread the stick in the highest part of the shoe, still upside down, and during the descent towards the lower part spread the liquid over the entire surface of the shoe with a soft or microfiber cloth.
Wait for the automatic shut-off. After cleaning we recommend using protection between the shoe and the cover board to avoid possible stains.
