5. Operating Instructions

Operating your ProfiCare Automatic Shirt Ironer is straightforward:

1. Prepare Garment: For best results, use garments that are freshly washed and still damp. Button up shirts and blouses, and close zippers on trousers.
2. Place Garment:
   • For shirts/blouses: Carefully pull the garment over the balloon body, ensuring it is evenly distributed and smoothed out. Use the included clamps to secure the bottom hem and sleeves if necessary to prevent creasing.
   • For trousers: Attach the trousers attachment. Pull the trousers over the attachment, ensuring the waistband is secure and the legs hang freely.
3. Set Timer: Turn the timer dial to the desired operating time (up to 180 minutes). The LED indicator will illuminate. The appliance will begin to inflate the balloon body and generate warm air.
4. Drying and Ironing Process: The warm air will dry the garment while simultaneously smoothing out wrinkles. The process duration depends on the garment material, thickness, and initial dampness.
5. Completion: Once the timer reaches zero, the appliance will automatically shut off. Allow the garment to cool slightly before carefully removing it from the balloon body.
6. Unplug: Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet after use.
