STEP 6 - PRESSING
a. Lift the Pressing Handle (A). The Pressing Plate (B) moves to the up position.
b. Carefully arrange the garment to be pressed onto the Ironing Board (C) (the lower base of
the Steam Press).
c. Grasp the handle of the Pressing Plate(A) and lower it onto the Ironing Board (C),capturing
the garment between the two halves of the Steam Press. For light duty pressing, simply
lowering the handle and allowing the Pressing Plate to rest on the Ironing Board will be
sufficient. Return to the open position. For heavier duty pressing, continue to grasp the
handle and press downward until the Pressing Plate is pushed to its lowest position, then
open the press. If the Temperature Control is set high enough you may give the fabric a
burst of steam by pressing the Steam Burst Button (D) to remove stubborn wrinkles. While
the Pressing Plate is in the open or up position, simply press down on the Steam Burst
Button (D) and release it. The fabric will be given a burst of steam.
d. After a few seconds, lift the handle and raise the Pressing Plate back to the raised position.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you forget to raise the Pressing Plate or become distracted, the
machine will give a warning beep and automatically shut-off after
approximately 10 seconds. The steam press will also shut-off after
15 minutes of no activity with the press in the open position. Auto
Shut-Off does NOT disconnect the power. Power is always on and
the power light remains on as well until the power switch is turned
OFF. The shut-off feature is a temporary aid until you can give full
attention to the unit again.
