Fitting the ironing cover on a roller with
leaf-type padding
If a new ironing cover is being fitted it
should first be washed in a Cottons 95 °C
programme.
The ironing cover should be wound back on
when still damp.
A double layer is wound on to the roller in
one operation. Do not tuck in the cloth at the
ends of the roller.
^ Raise the pick-off attachment upright.
^ Place the cloth in position.
^ Switch on the machine by pressing s.
^ Select the slowest speed setting, press the
"Forwards run Ü" button and feed the
ironing cloth in, following the laundry feed
direction, until it lies smooth and flat. This
is to ensure that the heater plate does not
get damaged by the grippers on the
leaf-type padding.
^ Then turn the temperature selector
anti-clockwise to the lowest setting.
^ Press the Start h button.
^ When the ! heating indicator light has
gone out, press the Start h button again.
The heater plate moves up to the roller and
the roller starts turning.
^ Feed in the second layer. The ironing cloth
must have no creases in it. Let the roller
rotate for about 5 minutes.
It is advisable approx. 40 operating hours
after first using a new ironing cover to cut
back the overlap of the cover which has
occurred through stretching, to about 50 mm
overlap and then to brush out about 50 mm
of this using a wire brush.
This is to avoid damp streaks and
shadowing. The roller cover must be the
same thickness along the whole length of
the roller and fit firmly up to the heater plate.

Cleaning and care
,
After changing the ironer cloth
The finger guard must be retested for
safety.
If it is not working correctly contact the
Service department.
Discolouration of the ironer cloth
Some discolouration of the ironer cloth from
light to dark brown is normal.
To avoid the cloth turning black:
– always use the complete width of the
roller.
– space out smaller items and do not always
place them in the same place.
– In pauses between ironing, withdraw the
heater plate and reduce the temperature.
