Page: 17 / 36

Select the roller speed
There are 5 roller speed settings, from
low (approx. 2 m/min) to high (approx.
4.5 m/min).
A low speed makes it easier to iron
complicated articles such as shirts and
blouses. A lower speed should also be
selected for folded items. Reducing the
speed will enable them to get dry and
smooth in just one or two passes
through the ironer.
Thinner, single thickness items, e.g. tea
towels can be ironed at a higher speed.
^
Set the roller speed selector to the
speed you require.
