After ironing ^ Turn the appliance off. If the rotary iron is to be stored away ^ Allow the heater plate to cool. ^ Pull the cover on. 19 Ironing Power failure In the event of a power failure, pull the emergency release lever up. If there is a power failure when the rotary iron is in use, the heater plate will stay on the roller. When power has been restored (the On/Off indicator comes on) push the emergency release lever back down. Continue ironing as usual. 20 Ironing Tips Tablecloths ^ Avoid folds by ironing the middle first. Napkins, hand towels ^ Lay the item with the straight grain of the fabric to the feed board. This will prevent it from losing its shape and will be easier to fold. Pass handkerchiefs diagonally through the rotary iron and, if necessary, fold them and then iron again. ^ Please use the whole length of the roller. Sheets and bedspreads Sheets may be ironed like tablecloths, or if a lengthwise fold is acceptable, fold the sheet together lengthwise and iron it on both sides. To accentuate embroidery and raised patterns on bedspreads, iron first in one direction and then in the other. ^ Place the tablecloth crossways so that the ends hang over to the left and right. ^ Iron the middle section. Pillow cases ^ Lay the pillowcase on the feeder plate, position under the heater plate and iron in one step. ^ If the open end has buttons, only pass it through the rotary iron if the buttons are heat resistant. ^ Fold in half with unironed edges together and place over the left end of the roller with the ironed middle section hanging over the edge to prevent creasing. Then pass both sides of the non ironed sections through the rotary iron. 21 Ironing Tips Duvet covers To iron without a fold If the duvet cover has buttons at the open end, iron the buttons first. Note: Only pass this end through the rotary iron if the buttons are heat-resistant. ^ Start the first run by carefully feeding this end in first on the left side of the roller, taking care not to damage any buttons. ^ It is best to iron the cover in two runs lengthwise. If folds are acceptable ^ Fold the duvet cover lengthwise and iron both sides. 22 Ironing Tips Shirts ^ Remove the feed board to iron shirts. Shoulder yoke ^ Then turn down the collar and press lightly, holding taut. Front sides ^ Arrange the yoke, collar first, on the roller and smooth out.
