10  
Before ironing  
Preparing the work area  
Place close by:  
– a basket with the laundry ready for  
ironing to the left of the rotary iron,  
– a surface for the ironed laundry to  
the right of the rotary iron.  
Shirts, overalls, blouses, etc., should be  
hung on hangers immediately after  
ironing.  
Small items can be hung over the swing  
out bar.  
Have some water ready to re-dampen  
the laundry if necessary.  
A height adjustable chair and a flat  
surface, like a table to lay ironed  
laundry on, are useful.  
When positioning the rotary iron  
horizontally be sure to secure the  
appliance so that it does not roll.  
11  
Before ironing  
Preparing the laundry  
Pulling into shape and smoothing  
out  
Correct preparation of the laundry is  
essential for easy ironing.  
^ Pull the dampened laundry into  
shape as usual.  
Before ironing, the laundry should be:  
– dampened  
^ Smooth out ribbons, straps, seams  
and hems.  
– pulled into shape and smoothed out  
– sorted.  
^ Large items such as table cloths, bed  
linens, etc. should be folded  
lengthways into a number of pleats  
so that they can be ironed as easily  
as possible.  
Correct dampness  
The laundry needs to be sufficiently  
damp, so that on the first pass through  
the rotary iron at the correct  
Sorting  
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.  
^ Sort the laundry according to how  
much heat is required for ironing.  
Start ironing at a lower temperature and  
gradually increase the temperature  
according to the fabric being ironed.  
If a tumble dryer is being used, select a  
"Machine iron" program.

Before ironing  
Testing the finger guard  
Please note:  
Any unevenness in the ironing cover  
will smooth itself out after 3 hours of  
use.  
The finger guard is a safety feature  
and should be checked each time  
the rotary iron is used.  
When using a new machine, if delicate  
laundry is not properly pulled into the  
rotary iron continue ironing. This is  
usually solved after 5-10 minutes of  
ironing.  
^ With the rotary iron turned on, press  
the foot pedal down.  
The heater plate comes down onto the  
rotating roller.  
If a new ironing cover is used, wash the  
cloth at a high temperature (140°F/  
60°C) to achieve an optimal pull-in of  
the laundry.  
^ If you lift the finger guard now, the  
roller stops rotating and the heater  
plate rises.  
This shows that the finger guard is  
working.  
^ Let go of the finger guard and  
remove your foot from the foot pedal.  
^ Press the foot pedal down again.  
The heater plate lowers and the roller  
rotates.

Ironing  
Turning on and off  
Selecting the ironing  
temperature  
The temperature selector is used to set  
the ironing temperature.  
The temperature range is marked by  
dots on the ring around the temperature  
selector. These correspond with the  
international fabric care symbols for  
ironing.

Ironing  
Selecting the roller speed  
There are 5 roller speed settings, from  
low (approximately 6.5 ft/min.[2 m/min])  
to high 15 ft/min. [4.5 m/min]).  
A lower roller speed makes it easier to  
iron complicated articles such as shirts  
and blouses. It is also best to select a  
low roller speed when ironing folded  
items, which may require more than  
one pass through the rotary iron to get  
them smooth and dry.  
Thinner, single thickness items,  
e.g. handkerchiefs can be ironed at a  
higher roller speed.  
^ Turn the temperature selector to the  
desired temperature.  
The temperature "C°" indicator will light  
while the heater plate is heating up.  
The light will go out when the  
temperature selected is reached.  
When ironing a fabric blend,  
e.g. poly cottons, the more delicate  
fiber determines the ironing  
temperature. However, if there is  
more cotton than polyester, the item  
can be ironed on the ßß Silk / Wool  
setting.  
Do not use the cotton setting.  
^ Set the roller speed selector to the  
desired speed.

Positioning the laundry  
Removing the feed board  
^ Arrange the laundry items on the  
feed board so that they are straight  
and then smooth out.  
The feed board can be removed when  
shaped garments are being ironed,  
e.g. skirts (round).  
^ Then turn the roller by hand, always  
keeping your hands away from the  
heater plate, so that the edge of the  
item to be ironed can be held by the  
heater plate.  
^ Lift the feed board out of the right  
hand holder and then pull it out to the  
left of the roller.  
Laundry bar  
^ Press down the foot pedal.  
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, this  
could cause the rotary iron to tip  
over.

out. If necessary, dampen again with  
a wet cloth or spray bottle.  
^ Remove the plug from the outlet.  
– If possible, always use the whole  
length of the roller, otherwise the  
roller will lose its elasticity.  
If the rotary iron is to be stored away  
^ Allow the heater plate to cool.  
– For small items such as  
handkerchiefs, alternate between  
using the right and left hand sides of  
the roller.  
^ When the heater plate has cooled  
completely, fold the rotary iron.  
^ Wind up the power cord.  
^ Pull the cover on.  
– Items with raised buttons should be  
ironed face down on to 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.  
– To protect the heater plate do not  
iron buttons that are not heat  
resistant or very large.  
– When you have nearly finished  
ironing you can turn the temperature  
selector to " g " cold and continue  
ironing small items with residual heat.

Ironing  
Power failure  
To free the trapped item  
In the event of a power failure, pull  
the emergency release lever up.  
If there is a power failure when the  
rotary iron is in use, the heater plate will  
stay on the roller. The item being ironed  
will be held there possibly becoming  
scorched.  
^ Pull the emergency release lever up.  
The pressure is reduced and the item  
can be removed.  
^ When power has been restored (the  
indicator in the On/Off switch comes  
on) push the emergency release  
lever back down. Continue ironing as  
usual.  
19  
Ironing Tips  
Tablecloths  
Napkins, hand towels  
^ Avoid folds by ironing the middle  
first.  
^ Lay the item with the straight grain of  
the fabric to the feed board.  
This will prevent it from loosing its  
shape and will be easier to fold.  
Pass handkerchiefs diagonally through  
the rotary iron and, if necessary, fold  
them and then iron again.  
^ Please use the whole length of the  
roller.  
Sheets and bedspreads  
Sheets may be ironed like tablecloths,  
or if a lengthwise fold is acceptable,  
fold the sheet together lengthwise and  
iron it on both sides.  
^ Place the tablecloth crossways so  
that the ends hang over to the left  
and right.  
To accentuate embroidery and raised  
patterns on bedspreads, iron first in  
one direction and then in the other.  
^ Iron the middle section.  
Pillow cases  
^ Lay the pillowcase on the feeder  
plate, position under the heater plate  
and iron in one step.  
If the open end has buttons, only  
pass it through the rotary iron if the  
buttons are heat resistant.  
^ Fold in half with unironed edges  
together and place over the left end  
of the roller with the ironed middle  
section hanging over the edge to  
prevent creasing. Then pass both  
sides of the non ironed sections  
through the rotary iron.  
20  
Ironing Tips  
Duvet covers  
To iron without a fold  
If the duvet cover has buttons at the  
open end, iron the buttons first.  
^ It is best to iron the cover in two runs  
lengthwise.  
Note: Only pass this end through the  
rotary iron if the buttons are  
heat-resistant.  
If folds are acceptable  
^ Start the first run by carefully feeding  
this end in first on the left side of the  
roller, taking care not to damage any  
buttons.  
^ Fold the duvet cover lengthwise and  
iron both sides.

cleaning.  
^ Clean lime or starch deposits from  
the heater plate using a non abrasive  
household cleaner. Avoid spraying  
the heater plate.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners.  
Cleaning the casing  
^ Untie the old ironing cover cords at  
each end of the roller.  
^ Depending on soiling, the casing can  
be wiped down with a dry or damp  
cloth.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners.  
Washing or replacing the  
ironing cover  
It is normal for the ironing cover on the  
roller to become slightly brown with  
use.  
^ Wash the cover with a hot  
temperature program (140°F [60°C]).  
If the cover looks worn and used, it can  
be easily replaced.  
^ Unwind the old ironing cover.
