IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

Use

Beawareofloosefittingorhanging

clothingwhenusingtherotaryiron.

Itemssuchaswidesleevesorapron

stringscouldbewoundintheroller.

Removealljewleryandtiebacklong

hairbeforeironing.

Donotallowchildrentoplayonor

neartherotaryiron,ortooperateit

themselves.

Closesupervisionisnecessaryfor

anyappliancebeingusedbyornear

children.Donotleaveappliance

unattendedwhileconnected.

Whentherotaryironisheatedthere

isadangerofburns:

– iftheheaterplateistouched.

Beforeusingforthefirsttime

Preparingtheworkarea

Whenpositioningtherotaryiron,make

sureitislevel.Thiswillensureeven

steamproductionandkeepthe

appliancefromrollingsideways.

Aheight-adjustablechairandaflat

surfaceforstackingcompleteditems

willbeuseful.

Havethefollowingcloseby:

–

totheleftoftheiron,placeabasket

withlaundryreadyforironing,

–

totherightoftheiron,haveasurface

forstackingtheironedarticles.

Shirts,smocks,blouses,etc.,shouldbe

hungonhangersimmediatelyafter

ironing.

Smallitemscanbehungoverthe

swing-outrod.

Havesomewaterhandytore-dampen

thelaundryasneeded.

Preparingthelaundry

Properpreparationofthelaundryis

essentialforgoodresults.

Beforeironing,laundryshouldbe:

–

dampened (for operation without

steam)

–

pulledintoshapeandsmoothedout

–

sorted

Properdampness(foroperation

withoutsteam)

Thelaundryneedstobesufficiently

dampsothatonthefirstpassthrough

therotaryironatthecorrect

temperatureitwillcomeoutsmooth

anddry.Dampenthelaundryasyou

wouldforhandironing;preferably

severalhoursbeforehandsothatthe

articlesachieveauniformdegreeof

dampnessthroughout.

If a tumble dryer is being used, select a

"Machine iron" program.

If preparation time is short, use warm

water to re-dampen.

Testingthefingerguard

Thefingerguardisasafetyfeature,

andshouldbecheckedeverytime

therotaryironisused.

Withtheironturnedon,pressthefoot

pedalallthewaydown.

Theheaterplatecomesdownontothe

rotatingroller.

Ifyouliftthefingerguardnow,the

rollerstopsrotatingandtheheater

platerises.

Letgoofthefingerguardand

removeyourfootfromthefootpedal.

Nowpressthefootpedaldown

again.

Theheaterplatelowersandtheroller

rotates.

Beforeusingforthefirsttime

Fillingthewaterreservoir

Beforeturningontheiron,andwith

therollerintheupposition,fillthe

waterreservoirtotheloweredgeof

thespoutwith tapwater approx.1½

pints(0.8l).

DoNOTuse"ironingwater"available

instores.

Thefunnelcanbescrewedinto

placeforeasierfilling.

Donotusedistilledwater.Itwill

causepittingcorrosionofthewater

reservoir.

Onlyeverfillthewaterreservoirto

theloweredgeofthespout.

Topreventwaterfromspillingover

whenyouclosetherollerdown,be

surethecapissecure.

Iftheindicatorlight a "Waterempty"is

red,itistimetore-fillthereservoir.

Ifthesteamsettingisonbutthewater

reservoirisempty,thedisplaylights

Q "Steam"and a "Water"willflash

alternatelyinintervalsofafewminutes.

Caution-hotsteam!

Slowlyloosenthecap.

^ Allowthesteamfromthewater

reservoirtodissipatebeforeopening

thecapentirely,thenaddwateras

needed.

Typicallyyouwillfindsomewaterleftin

thereservoir.Theamountdependson

thewaterhardnessandhowmuchlime

isdeposited.

Afullwaterreservoirwillprovide

approximately40minutesofsteam

ironingtime.Ittakesapprox.4minutes

fortheirontobeginproducingsteam.

Aslimedepositsforminthetank,the

heatingtimemayincrease.

Wheneveryoustopironing,turnoff

waterarebothcool.

Alwaysemptythereservoironceyou

havefinishedironing.Thiswillhelp

preventdamagetothereservoirfrom

Unscrewthecap.

Thefunnelcanbescrewedintoplace

Toavoidcreasing:

Stoptheroller,pulltheitemback

towardsyouslightly,andsmoothit

outbyhand.Ifneeded,dampen

againwithawetclothorspraybottle.

–

Ifpossible,alwaysusethewhole

widthoftheroller,tomaintainthe

smooth,elasticsurfaceoftheroller.

–

Forsmallitems,suchas

handkerchiefs,alternatebetweenthe

rightandleft-handsidesoftheroller.

–

Articleswithraisedparts,suchas

buttons,shouldbeironedfacedown

ontotheroller,sothattheyare

pressedintothecushionedsurface.

– Coverzippers,metalbuttonsand

metalhookswithacloth,toprotect

theheaterplate.

– Buttonsthatareverylargeornot

heat-resistantshouldnotbeironed,

astheycandamagetheheater
