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. 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. ^ If you lift the finger guard now, the roller stops rotating and the heater plate rises. 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. 14
