[. . . ] When the required temperature is selected, the temperature light will light up. As soon as the temperature is ready, the temperature setting ( ) light goes off. 1 lamp lights up; 50% pressure (23-25kg) 2 lamps light up; 100% pressure (45-50kg) Note: Use lighter pressure for delicate fabrics and higher pressure for tough creases or thick fabrics. The appliance is ready for use when the required temperature is reached, within about 5 minutes. Adjust the ironing board accordingly: The large ironing board provides fast ironing on normal and bulky garments or several small items put together. The sleeve (smaller) ironing board allows ironing on difficult parts or smaller pieces of garment. Layout the garment on the ironing board, smooth out the garment to avoid unwanted creases in pressing (see ironing tips). Spray is dispensed when the top-heating press is closed in quick action. Close the top-heating press fully and activate the pressing control, by pressing onto the right or left side of the pressing control. If the pressing control is held for more than 7 seconds, there is a warning signal to prevent overheating of garment (see `Safety Feature' section). The duration of each pressing cycle should not be more than 10 seconds. When the top-heating press is closed and the pressing control pressed, the caution buzzer signal will signal after 7 seconds. The heating and pressing control will switch off automatically after 10 seconds. The heating will be switched off automatically when the press is not used for 15 minutes. Note: Keep both hands on the press handle when closing the top-heating press, to prevent the hand from accidental clamping and scorching. Note: The plastic housing of the appliance keeps the temperature low for comfort in usage, and to save energy consumption. Note: In case of abrupt cut off in power supply, the press will remain closed. When pressing monograms or embroideries, place them face down onto the ironing board; this is to avoid direct contact with the top-heating press. For woolens, knitwear, jersey, starched & added finished fabrics, place a piece of pressing cloth on top of fabric before pressing. To avoid scorching the fabric, start off with items that require low temperature, as the cooling down process is longer. Large garments should be arranged behind the ironing board, in order not to crease again after pressing. To take care of buttons or zip fasteners made of synthetic materials, place the garment face down to avoid direct contact with the top heating press while ironing. [. . . ] to avoid creases , stretch the fabric by pulling the elastic while pressing. Insert one corner into another and continue by pressing two-fold, shifting the edges from left to right. Sleeve board: put the cuffs in place, spreading out the pleats if necessary. Ironing board: stretch out the shirt to the back, at the left, with the collar towards you, in order to place the sleeve correctly on the ironing board. [. . . ]
