Before ironing
Preparing the work area
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.
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.
12
Page 13
Before ironing
Preparing the laundry
Correct preparation of the laundry is
essential for easy ironing.
Before ironing, the laundry should be:
dampened
–
pulled into shape and smoothed out
–
sorted.
–
Correct dampness
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.
Pulling into shape and smoothing
out
Pull the dampened laundry into
^
shape as usual.
Smooth out ribbons, straps, seams
^
and hems.
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.
Sorting
^ 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.

Before ironing
Testing the finger guard
The finger guard is a safety feature
and should be checked each time
the rotary iron is used.
With the rotary iron turned on, press
^
the foot pedal 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.
Please note:
Any unevenness in the ironing cover
will smooth itself out after 3 hours of
use.
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.
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.
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.

Turning on and off
The rotary iron is turned on and off with
the "0-I" button.
To turn on
^ Press the button in.
The indicator light comes on.
To turn off
^ Press and release the button.
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
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 Woolens
setting.
Do not use the cotton setting.
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.
^
Set the roller speed selector to the
desired speed.

Ironing
Positioning the laundry
Arrange the laundry items on the
^
feed board so that they are straight
and then smooth out.
^ 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.
^ Press down the foot pedal.
Removing the feed board
The feed board can be removed when
shaped garments are being ironed,
e.g. skirts (round).
^ Lift the feed board out of the right
hand holder and then pull it out to the
left of the roller.
Laundry bar
Ironed laundry can be hung over the
swing out bar to avoid creasing.
18
,
Take care not to press down on
the bar when it is swung out, this
could cause the rotary iron to tip
over.
Page 19
Ironing
Ironing tips
To avoid creasing stop the roller, pull
–
the item back slightly and smooth
out. If necessary, dampen again with
a wet cloth or spray bottle.
If possible, always use the whole
–
length of the roller, otherwise the
roller will lose its elasticity.
For small items such as
–
handkerchiefs, alternate between
using the right and left hand sides of
the roller.
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.
After ironing
Turn the appliance off.
^
Turn the temperature to g.
^
Remove the plug from the outlet.
^
If the rotary iron is to be stored away
Allow the heater plate to cool.

Ironing Tips
Tablecloths
Avoid folds by ironing the middle
^
first.
^ Place the tablecloth crossways so
that the ends hang over to the left
and right.
^ Iron the middle section.
Napkins, hand towels
Lay the item with the straight grain of
^
the fabric to the feed board.
This will prevent it from losing 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.
To accentuate embroidery and raised
patterns on bedspreads, iron first in
one direction and then in the other.
Pillow cases
^
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.
^ 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.
21
Page 22
Ironing Tips
Duvet covers
If the duvet cover has buttons at the
open end, iron the buttons first.
Note: Only pass this end through the
rotary iron if the buttons are
heat-resistant.
^ 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.
To iron without a fold
^ It is best to iron the cover in two runs
lengthwise.
If folds are acceptable
22
^
Fold the duvet cover lengthwise and
iron both sides.
