Important safety instructions
Save these instructions
Read all instructions before using your Elnapress. The ironing press is intended for household use only.
In order to avoid any risk of electrical shock, burns, fire or personal injury:
• Always lock the Elnapress before carrying, moving or storing.
• Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
• Do not use the Elnapress if it has fallen or been damaged. Do not try to disassemble or repair it yourself.
Take it to a qualified person to be checked or repaired. Improper repair or re-assembly might cause one
of the above-mentioned risks and will render the guarantee null and void.
• Never use the Elnapress with a damaged cord or plug. Replace the cord with one provided by an
authorised Elnapress representative.
• Connect the Elnapress to a grounded wall socket only. Do not modify the plug provided with the product.
Have a qualified electrician change the plug if it does not correspond to the wall socket.
• If an extension cord is required, make sure that the ampere rating of the ironing press does not exceed
the ampere rating of the extension cord. A cord with less amperage might overheat. Use a grounded
extension cord only. Make sure the cord cannot be accidentally pulled out or tripped over.
• To avoid overloading the circuit, do not use another high watt consumption appliance on the same circuit
at the same time.
• The cord must not touch a hot surface.
• Let the Elnapress cool down completely before locking and storing.
• Be especially careful while operating the Elnapress when children are present. Never leave the Elnapress
unattended when it is hot or plugged in.
• Immediately unplug the Elnapress after use. To unplug, never yank the cord; instead, grasp the plug and
pull to disconnect.
• Read the chapter on Maintenance before cleaning the Elnapress. Touching the heating shoe while still hot
can cause burns.
• This appliance is not suitable for use by anyone (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental ability, or people lacking experience in and knowledge of its use, unless they are monitored or
taught how to use it by someone responsible for their safety.
• Watch children to prevent them from playing with this appliance.

Opening and closing
the press
Slide the safety lock to the right to unlock.
Always use both handles when opening and closing
the Elnapress.
With your left hand, use the fixed handle to raise
and lower the heating shoe. (Operating the press
this way keeps your hand from accidentally touching
the heating shoe while pressing.)
With your right hand, lower the movable handle and
apply ironing pressure. Raise the movable handle to
release ironing pressure. With your left hand, gently
raise the heating shoe to open the press.
Power supply
The specification plate (located under the base) indi-
cates the voltage of the ironing press.
Make sure this voltage corresponds to the voltage
you are using.
Connect the mains lead by pushing the plug firmly
into the socket.
Note : The Elnapress has a grounded plug and must
be connected to a grounded wall socket only. See
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

ON/OFF switch to switch the press on. The green
and red LED will illuminate to indicate that the
Elnapress is in the process of heating.
Turn the temperature control dial to the desired
setting. When the correct temperature has been
reached, the red light will go off.
To switch off the Elnapress, press the ON/OFF

Safety features
If the Elnapress is switchen on and closed for more
than 10 seconds, the buzzer sound and the power
supply is automatically switched off. When the
Elnapress is opened again, the power supply is auto-
matically switched back on.
If the Elnapress is left on, in its open position and
unused for more than 15 minutes, the power supply
is automatically switched off.
To turn it on again, simply press the ON/OFF switch.

Spray bottle
The spray bottle allows items to be dampened
before and during pressing.
The spray bottle disperses a mist of water over the
surface to be pressed. When the heating shoe
is lowered, the mist is converted into steam,
which penetrates the fibres of the material.
The spray bottle uses regular tap water.
Note : Do not fill the spray bottle with starch or
perfumed products.
