Moving the appliance Moving the appliance The rotary ironer is fitted with four rollers. ^ Hold the ironer by the ironing table and push or pull to move it. 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. To overcome obstacles such as carpet edges and doorways but also to steer: ^ Tilt the appliance slightly. Make sure the ironer is level and secure and that it cannot roll sideways.
Before using for the first time Dust cover The dust cover which protects the roller during transit has to be removed. Then plug the appliance in and switch it on. The heater plate will then rise automatically. Connection cable The mains connection cable is wound round a hook underneath the ironing table. ^ Unwind the cable. Do not insert the plug into the electrical socket yet. N.B. The plug shown is for illustration only.
Before ironing Preparing the laundry Correct preparation of the laundry is essential for successful ironing. Before ironing, the laundry should be: Pulling into shape and smoothing out Pull the dampened laundry into shape as usual. Smooth out ribbons, straps, seams and hems.
Before ironing Checking the effectiveness of the finger guard The finger guard is a safety feature and should be checked each time before the ironer is used. ^ With the ironer switched on, press the foot pedal right down. – the heater plate comes down onto the rotating roller. ^ If you now lift the finger guard, the roller stops rotating and the heater plate rises up. This shows that the finger guard is working. ^ Let go of the finger guard and remove your foot from the foot pedal.
Ironing Material Dot symbol Polyester / artificial silk Silk / Wool Cotton / Linen Temperature range cool iron (low temperature) medium hot iron (medium temperature) hot iron (high temperature) Switching on and off The rotary ironer is switched on and off with the "I On / 0 Off" button. To switch on ^ Press the button in – the indicator light in the button comes on. To switch off ^ Press and release the button – the indicator light in the button goes out.
Ironing Selecting the roller speed Ironing There are 5 roller speed settings, from low (approx. 2 metres per minute) to high (approx. 4.5 metres per minute). The ironing process is controlled by the foot pedal which has three operating positions: A lower roller speed makes it easier to iron complicated articles such as shirts and blouses. It is also best to select a lower roller speed when ironing folded items, which may require more than one pass through the ironer to get them smooth and dry.
Ironing Positioning the laundry Laundry bar ^ Arrange the items of laundry on the feed board so that they are straight and then smooth out. The ironed laundry can be hung over the swing out bar to avoid creasing. ,Take care not to press down on the bar when it is swung out, as this could cause the rotary ironer to tip over. Tips If creases appear in the item you are ironing: Stop the roller, pull the item back slightly and smooth out. If necessary, dampen again with a wet cloth.
Ironing After ironing ^ Switch the appliance off. ^ Turn the temperature to g "cold". ^ Switch off at the mains and then remove the plug from the socket. If the ironer is to be put away: ^ Allow the heater plate to cool down. Power cut In the event of a power cut, pull up the emergency release lever. If there is a power cut when the rotary ironer is in use, the heater plate will stay on the roller. The item being ironed will then be held there with the risk of it becoming scorched.
Points on ironing The following notes are intended as helpful suggestions. You will probably find several alternative routines which suit your own method of working. Tea towels, hand towels, handkerchiefs and serviettes etc. Lay the item with the straight grain of the fabric to the feed board. This will prevent it going out of shape and it will be easier to fold. Pass handkerchiefs and serviettes diagonally through the ironer and, if necessary, fold them and then iron again.
Points on ironing Duvet covers If folds are acceptable: ^ First do up the poppers/buttons. Start the first run by carefully feeding this end in first on left side of the roller, taking care not to damage any buttons. ^ Fold the duvet cover lengthwise and iron both sides. Note: Only pass this end through the ironer if the poppers or buttons are heat-resistant. To iron without a fold: Pillow cases ^ Lay the pillowcase on the feeder plate, position under the hot plate and iron in one procedure.
Maintenance and care Cleaning the heater plate Deposits such as from hard water, starch or spray starch can be removed from the heater plate using a suitable proprietary cleaner. Avoid spraying directly on to the heater plate. Remove the feed board. Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents. ^ Make sure that the temperature selector is set at " g " (cold). °C I- O Cleaning the casing Depending on how dirty it is, the casing can be wiped down with a dry or a damp cloth.
Maintenance and care ^ Unwind the cover. ^ Take hold of the cloth by each side edge, pull taut and keeping taut lay over the heater plate. The slot which holds the cotton undercloth is now at the top. ^ Completely unwind the cotton undercloth attached to the roller and let it hang down smoothly. ^ Insert the raw edge of new ironing cloth into the retaining slot with the wrong side down. Keep side ties hanging free and smooth out.
Maintenance and care 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 appliance while keeping the foot pedal pressed down. The ironing cover is held firmly in place by the heater plate which is still lowered. ^ Turn the roller by hand in the direction you iron (see arrow) until the cover retaining slot is at the bottom. ^ Switch on the appliance.
