three steps for ergonomic ironing
1
Ergonomic board height (Fig. 1)
Set the ironing board to the correct height. When you stand the distance between your elbow and
the ironing board has to be approximately 27cm. You can use the heat-resistant iron resting mat as a
guide.
2
Ergonomic iron design (Fig. 2)
The upward sloping handle ensures a comfortable position of the wrist.
3
Ergonomic iron resting mat (Fig. 3)
The iron resting mat allows you to place your iron horizontally on the ironing board.
Only use the resting mat on an ironing board - never use it on a surface that is not heat
resistant (Fig. ).
Do not put the switched-on iron on the heat-resistant iron resting mat for a long period of time.
Only use the heat-resistant iron resting mat to put down the iron briefly during ironing.
