POSITIONING
When setting up the ironing board please
note the following:
• Place the ironing board on a flat, even, dry
surface, near an earthed mains socket.
• Position the ironing board securely so that
nobody can knock it over or get hurt.
• Never put the appliance on or near warm
surfaces or near flames.
• Use the appliance in dry rooms only.
• To avoid scalding, keep the appliance away
from children.
• Use only the correct extension cables; be
careful not to trip over the cord.
Put up the ironing board as follows:
• Place the ironing board upright on the floor
(iron storage shelf end downward).
• Hold the end of the ironing board with one hand.
• With the other hand hold the upper part of the
ironing board legs.
• Firmly pull the ironing board wide apart

• To adjust the height, take hold of the ironing
board with both hands. Lift the ironing board
up slightly and pull the lever with one hand.
(The ironing board has to be slightly raised for
safety reasons, i.e. to prevent the lever from
being activated accidentally.) Only when you
hear the ironing board lock into place is it
secure.

Note:
Be careful that the feet of the ironing board
don’t slip on smooth floors while opening/closing
the ironing board.
• Insert the iron cord support in one of the small
holes each side of the ironing board and hang
the steam power cord. The iron cord support
prevents unwanted movement by cord drag of
the garment being ironed as well as the wear
of the steam power cord.
There are two holes one each side at the rear
end of the ironing board so that the cord support
can be positioned for right or left handed use.
START UP
If you are using a steam generator:
• Place the iron/steam generator on the shelf.
If you are using a steam iron:
• Place the iron (soleplate down) on the iron rest
mat which should be positioned at the rear end
of the ironing surface.
• Plug the power supply cord from your iron/
steam generator into the auxiliary socket
built-in to the ironing board.
• Plug the power supply cord from your ironing
board into a 16amp wall socket. The socket (1)
will be powered from the very moment when
ironing board’s supply cable (7) is plugged into
the wall socket.
• The power on/off switch activates the ironing
board only. An integrated thermostat constantly
controls the board heating temperature. During
the heating phase the equipment may emit
noises. This is a normal phenomenon, which is
nothing to worry about.

Tip: The most efficient way to iron with steam
generators is to use the steam function in a
forward direction (steam permeates the fabric and
gives volume back to it) and backwards without
steam (fixing the fabric). It is important to use the
active functions while ironing. This ensures that
excessive steam is released and the fabric dries
faster while obtaining long-term crease protection.
Potential build up of condensed water can be
avoided or at least minimised.
