How to fold an ironing board

Ironing is a daily activity for every person. Everyone uses a thing designed for this - an ironing board. It is indispensable during ironing because of its convenience and ease of use, perfectly flat surface and many more additional functions. But what to do if the board doesn’t come together?

How to assemble an ironing board

For many people, assembling the ironing board is their least favorite task. This is because it’s easy to decompose it, but then returning it to its original form is not easy.

Most often, the problem lies in a lack of understanding of the operation of the fixation mechanism, because each model of the instrument has its own placement system. The most basic thing you need to do to assemble the ironing device is to lift it and pull one of the supports towards you, as if collecting them together. In this case, the leg from the recess of the stop and the board fold into one straight line. But it also happens that different models develop completely differently; the main thing here is to figure out what mechanism and order to use.

How to assemble an ironing board depending on the model

T220p Soffiante is one of the most popular models. This is because it is an element that can be assembled and disassembled, as well as with special properties and functions. In order to assemble this ironing table, you need to lower the board vertically, resting it on the free leg.

Important! This leg should not be either of the two, namely the support for the boiler should be at the top.

Then you need to press the handle while simultaneously pushing the support leg inward. And voila, the device is assembled.

The next most popular model is this. This is also a device with heating and other auxiliary functions. How to collect it? Everything is very simple.

1. Unplug the cord from the outlet and carefully roll it up.
3. We hide the cord along with the pedal in a place to store them.
4. Then you need to pull out the height locks and very carefully lower the board to the floor.
5. And the last, final stage, you need to secure the legs in the lock for safe transportation.

Important! The ironing board must be stored in a vertical position with the rounded side of the platform facing down.

And the last most popular model is . Also an electrical device with all the improved features (iron recess, iron hook, etc.). This ironing chair is assembled in the same way as the model presented above. It is very light and easy to assemble and unfold, but it lacks the function of fixing when folded. The whole point is to bring the ironing tool into a vertical position and pull out the clamps, or you just need to move the leg to the side, freeing it from the stop, and carefully fold the ironer.

Why doesn't the ironing board fold?

There can be many reasons for this, but a few of them are the most common:

• Broken leg. There is also plenty of scope for reasons for this particular type of breakdown:

1. The leg itself can bend and deform into an irregular and unnatural shape, which will prevent it from folding smoothly.
2. A nail that connected the leg and the board, or the legs to each other or with a lock.Anything that in one way or another holds the elements of the ironing board together can make it impossible to assemble it if they break. In this case, you need to carefully examine the location of the breakdown and try to fix it.

• The latch is broken.

1. Here the reason may be in the mount itself, which fixed the leg of the device. If these are spring clamps or an ironing table of a more advanced model, then everything is much simpler, because the process of assembly and disassembly is very simple. If the device is of an older type, then there is a certain lock. Which secures the board and prevents it from moving. Most often in older models, these elements were made of either metal or wood. If one or the other breaks down, both can be replaced at home. You just need to choose the right latch itself.

• Very often the ironer is assembled incorrectly, this can also be one of the reasons for its breakdown. After a period of improper use, it may stop assembling due to cracks in the legs or because of a bent base of the board.
