LIGNING THE

Dismantle the upper handle cover; see page 3.
Tighten or loosen the 2 self-locking nuts (A) as needed.
Unscrew the right nut to decrease the space on the right side; see drawings below.

A well-adjusted heating shoe permits you to move it in all directions and assures perfect contact
with the wooden board; and thus, perfect ironing.

DJUSTING THE
OVABLE
When closing the press with the fixed handle,
the movable handle should not close by itself. If
it does:
1. Make sure the foam padding is in good
condition; 7mm thick.
2. Keep the press closed with the fixed
handle. Raise and lower the movable
handle slowly. You should not need to hold
the handle in place when it is in its raised
position.
3. If the movable handle doesn't stay in its
raised position, tighten the screw (B).
4. To check if the adjustment is good: lower
the movable handle just shy of 2cm. The
handle should remain in that position
without any help. At 2 cm the movable
handle will close on its own.

Aligning the Heating Shoe Laterally

1. Close the press slowly with the fixed
handle
2. At the same time, push the heating shoe
against its upper stop.
3.
Check the distance and alignment of the
heating shoe in relation to the wooden
board. Distance (C) should be between 10
and 15mm.
4.
To obtain the distance (C), tighten or
loosen the screw (A) in 4-color picture
above.
