Maintenance
Padding foam and Board Cover
Padding foam flattens after prolonged use, and your
pressing results will be unsatisfactory.
If the press does not open and close properly or the
padding foam begins to hang off the board, replace
the padding foam.
The board cover can be laundered (60 degrees) and
should be replaced when it becomes worn.
Cleaning the Heating Shoe
The heating shoe needs occasional cleaning to
remove dry cleaning chemicals, thread fibres and
any other residue.
Clean the heating shoe while it is warm. Turn the
press over so the heating shoe faces up.
Use one of these methods :
• Wipe the surface with a lint-free cloth soaked in
white vinegar. Wipe with a clean cloth to remove
vinegar residue.
• You can also use the Elna cleaning stick (optional
accessory). Follow it’s own enclosed instruction.
Never use alkaline products, such as oven cleaners.
Never use abrasive cleaning products or steel wool
pads.
After cleaning the heating shoe, with a lint-free cloth
apply a thin protective coating (optional accessory)
to the warm surface. Leave the press open for about
20 minutes, set at the maximum temperature. Switch
off the press. Allow it to cool before locking the
handles.
