Cold mangle in use

Lift the handle of the cold mangle and unroll most of the linen mangle cloth. Spritz a small amount of water evenly on both sides of the piece to be mangled. Flatten and guide the piece with both hands such that it enters the mangle as straight as possible. Lower the handle and press the start button. Keep some pressure with the flat of your hands on the piece, pulling in every direction as much as needed to ensure that it goes in straight and flat. It may be best to remove the article right away and enter it back into the mangle a second time starting from the other end of the piece. This allows you to check for unwanted creases and overall appearance. Let the machine run for a few minutes until the piece is as flat as you want it. Remove the piece and lay flat or fold to dry. Large pieces need to be folded to enter the mangle. Mangling usually works best in the warp direction.
