5. Operating Instructions

Using your GILLAS Ironing Board is straightforward. Follow these steps for optimal performance:

1. Prepare for Ironing: Ensure the ironing board is on a stable, level surface. If using the wheels, engage the locking mechanisms on two of the wheels to prevent unintended movement during ironing.
2. Place Garment: Lay the garment smoothly on the ironing surface, ensuring it is flat and wrinkle-free before applying the iron. The wide and ergonomic panel provides ample space for various clothing items.
3. Use Iron Rest: Utilize the integrated iron rest for safely placing your hot iron when not actively ironing. This feature also provides heat dissipation and can serve as a temporary hanger for freshly ironed clothes.
4. Utilize Storage: The two-tier storage baskets are ideal for organizing your iron, spray bottles, starch, and folded clothes. Keep frequently used items within easy reach.
5. Mobility: When you need to move the ironing board, disengage the wheel locks and gently push or pull the board to your desired location. The smooth-rolling wheels allow for effortless movement between rooms.
6. Folding for Storage: If your model features a folding mechanism, follow the instructions to fold the board into a compact stand for space-saving storage. This allows it to function as both an ironing stand and a storage shelf.
