Power failure

ged.

Protecting the roller and iron cover

– During breaks and after ironing the heater
plate should be raised. The roller and the
iron cover durability will be increased.
Avoid running the iron without laundry.
– Use the whole roller width to iron small
laundry items. When used only on one
side the roller and iron cover is strained.

Motor protection

If the motor gets too hot due to an overload,
the motor shuts off automatically and the
heater plate raises.
^ After the motor has sufficiently cooled,
press the I button and restart ironing.
