1. 

Close the press slowly with the fixed handle. 

2. 

 The heating shoe and the wooden board should be parallel to each other.  If they are not 
parallel, follow the instructions in step 4. 

3. 

Correct and adjust the alignment of the heating shoe as follows. 

 

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. 

4. 

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.

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. 

 

 

 

A well-adjusted press should be able to remain 
closed by itself with a 4mm thickness between the 
board and the heating shoe.  The movable handle 
should not raise by itself. 

 

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.
