Corby have specialised in making trouser presses since the 1930s when the
company was founded in Windsor, England. Today Corby sell presses for
home and hotel use throughout the world. Although there have been many
technical changes since that time we have continued with the tradition of
producing high quality British products. Each press is hand assembled and
individually tested prior to despatch from our Andover factory.
Assembly Instructions
Please check the contents carefully and contact your supplier if any of the contents
are missing or damaged. For the safety of babies and young children please

Electrical Connections
This is a double insulated product manufactured to internationally recognised safety
standards (as designated by IEC-335-1).
The supply cord of this appliance cannot be replaced, because special purpose
tools are required. If the cord is damaged, the appliance MUST be returned to
either the retailer, from whom you made your purchase, or the in-country
distributor. If you have a problem in locating either, or you need advice of any
kind, do please make contact direct with the manufacturer, John Corby Limited
(England). We will be happy to help.
Double insulated products should in no circumstances be connected to earth as
this could adversely affect the safety of the product.
In keeping with other manufacturer’s of domestic appliances, we recommend that
when not in use the product should be switched off at the mains supply socket and
the plug disconnected.
Europe
IMPORTANT If you replace the plug it must be wired in accordance with the
relevant colour code given below:
This product must be fitted with two core mains lead connected:
BROWN - LIVE (L)
BLUE - NEUTRAL (N)
UK, Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man and Channel Isles
PLUGS. Your press should be fitted with a 3-pin BS 1363A 13 amp plug fitted
with a 3 amp BS 1362 ASTA approved fuse. If any other plug or connection type
is used then there must be a 5 amp fuse in the plug adaptor or distribution board.
Fitting a fuse of higher rating may invalidate your guarantee. If you remove the
plug from the mains lead, please destro
y as exposed wires will become live if the
plug is inserted into a mains socket.
General Operation
Just raise the lever arms and your Corby press will open wide to reveal the
heating pad. This pad is cushioned to accept different fabric thickness and raised
seams. At the base of the pad there is a 75mm deep section which adjusts
automatically to accommodate the extra thickness of turn-ups and hems; this
ensures an even pressure over the whole area of the trousers.
Insert your trousers “feet” first into the base of the press. Smooth them into position,
ensuring the existing creases are in line. As you close the press your trousers will be
gently held at the feet. Firmly grip the top of your trousers, gently pulling while you
close the press. Push down on one of the lever arms to lock into position. (See
illustration on back cover).
If you look to the top of the frontboard, you will see one of the pair of ribbed
stretcher bars, which meet and lock into an upright position just as you finally
close the press. The action of these stretcher bars gently grips and pulls trousers
back into shape, removing those back-of-knee wrinkles which can spoil the
English

appearance of your trousers. These stretcher bars are essential to the design of a
good trouser press and are unique to Corby.
You can safely leave your trousers in the press until they are next required or until
you wish to use the press again. The material will retain the creases for longer if
you allow the trousers to cool before wearing.
Tips and Hints
Using your Corby press daily will add to the life and appearance of your trousers.
Your Corby is safe to use on any material which you would normally iron,
however, you should check for any special instructions before pressing. One of the
benefits of your Corby is that it will not impart a surface shine on the material,
something which can occur after repeated ironing. The inherent humidity content
of natural and mixed fibres assists the pressing process, however, some man-made
fibres, such as polyester, resist humidity and may therefore require extra pressing.
On no account should any trousers be dampened before pressing.
Please press one pair of trousers at a time, ensuring that all pockets are emptied
of keys, coins or other sharp objects as they could damage the heating pad.
If the heating pad in your trouser press is damaged or shows signs of excessive
wear, then the press should be returned for examination.
The inside of the frontboard may be wiped with a dry cloth, but no polish or
cleaner should be used on the inner frontboard or heating pad surface.
You will extend the life of the heating pad if you take care not to leave the press
switched on with the frontboard open.

Your CORBY STATESMAN trouser press is made from a mixture of solid wood and
real wood veneer.
Wood is a natural product and as such there is a variety in the grain and depth of
colour throughout the material. This is reflected in the construction of the
STATESMAN and we believe this adds to its attraction.
In acknowledging the need to wisely use the Earth’s resources we only use timber
which has originated from known controlled sources.
