2. Safety Information

Please read all safety instructions before using the ironing board to prevent injury or damage to the product.

  • Ensure the ironing board is placed on a stable, flat surface before use.
  • Always fully extend and lock the legs into position to prevent accidental collapse.
  • Do not overload the ironing board. It is designed for ironing garments and fabrics only.
  • Keep children and pets away from the ironing board during use, especially when a hot iron is present.
  • Utilize the Park Zone for safely resting a hot iron. This area is designed to withstand high temperatures for up to 10 minutes, and up to 72 hours without damage, reducing the risk of burns or damage to the board cover.
  • Allow the iron to cool completely in the Park Zone before storing the ironing board.
  • Do not use the ironing board if any parts are damaged or missing. Contact customer support for replacement parts.

3. Setup

  1. Unfolding the Board: Place the folded ironing board on a flat surface. Locate the leg release mechanism, typically a lever or button under the board. Press or pull the mechanism to release the legs.
  2. Extending the Legs: Gently pull the legs outwards until they fully extend and lock into place. Ensure all four legs are stable and the board does not wobble. The intelligent lock technology ensures stability.
  3. Adjusting Height: The ironing board features an automatic height regulator. Locate the height adjustment lever, usually beneath the board. Press the lever and raise or lower the board to your desired working height. Release the lever to lock the height.
  4. Initial Inspection: Before first use, inspect the 4-layer cover and pad for any damage. Ensure the dedicated safety iron rest is securely attached.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 General Ironing

  • Place garments smoothly on the ironing surface. The 4-layer extra-thick pad and cover provide a good cushion and allow for efficient steam absorption, leading to a faster ironing process.
  • Adjust your iron's temperature according to the fabric type.
  • Iron garments as usual, utilizing the board's stable surface.

4.2 Using the Park Zone

The Park Zone is a specially designed area on the ironing board cover, woven with steel in the cotton, allowing you to safely rest a hot iron flat without causing damage or discoloration to the surface. This feature is particularly useful for short breaks during ironing.

  • When you need to pause ironing, simply place your hot iron flat onto the designated Park Zone area.
  • The Park Zone can safely hold a hot iron for up to 10 minutes during active ironing sessions, and up to 72 hours without burning the fabric.
  • This eliminates the need to constantly place the iron upright or back on its rest, saving time and reducing effort.

4.3 Utilizing the Turbo Zone

The Turbo Zone is a patented technology designed to enhance the smoothness and glide of your iron, effectively cutting ironing time in half.

  • If your iron's plate feels less smooth or starts to drag on fabric, glide your iron back and forth over the Turbo Zone area approximately three times.
  • This action reactivates the "Easy-Glide Iron" effect, making your iron glide more smoothly over garments.
  • The mesh screen beneath the board also helps release heat and steam, contributing to faster ironing.

5.2 Frame Care
