Looking for a better, easier way to handle your ironing chores? The Opal represents the ultimate alternative to the backache and drudgery of an old-fashioned hand iron. Stylishly designed and Swiss made, the Opal has a large heating shoe making it easy to tackle all of your laundry that much more quickly. And a feature unique to the Opal is a fold-out sleeve board which really makes pressing shirts and smaller items very simple.

How about crafts? Use the Opal for stabilizers and interfacing, t-shirt transfers, press-on sequins and rhinestones. Imagine the possibilities!

Pressure
	Simply closing the Opal produces up to 45kg / 100lbs of pressure. Try doing that with a hand iron! And for more delicate fabrics like sweater knits or velvets, lower the handle about half way for perfect results.
Vap-o-Jet
	This exclusive Elnapress feature slides onto the left handle and can be used to dampen your laundry with regular tap water. The water you spray combined with the heat from the heating shoe will give even better results than steam.
Sleeve Board
	The sleeve board - another exclusvie Elnapress feature - is a second board that simply pivots into place. Use it for shirt yokes, shirtsleeves without creases, lapels, ruffles, children's clothing, etc. The edges of the sleeve board can be used to iron any difficult to reach areas.
Ironing Board
	The ironing board has been specially rounded on the left side to perfectly accommodate shirtsleeves and to help iron out the wrinkles in the crotch area on trousers.
Space
	How about sheets and tablecloths? Look at how the large space in the back accommodates these large items.
LED Temperature Panel
	Simply press the plus/minus keys on the temperature control panel to turn the Elnapress on and off, and to regulate the ironing temperature.
Relieves Stress	With The Elnapress it's so comfortable to be ironing while seated. The automatic pressure applied with the movable handles does the work for you. And it's ideal for avoiding unnecessary stress on your back and for anyone who is physically handicapped or confined to a wheelchair.
Saves Time	The size of the heating shoe allows you to iron a large surface area each time you close the press. After a bit of practice, you'll be able to press a standard shirt in 1 - 2 minutes. Compare that with the 5 - 8 minutes it takes with a hand iron!
Professional	The Elnapress will put perfect creases in your trouser legs and give all your laundry a wrinkle-free finish.
No Shiny Finish, Less Wear and Tear	Since the Elnapress closes down on your laundry, it will not leave a shiny finish on fine fabrics. And it won't wear out your fabrics since there is no back and forth friction like with a hand iron.
Safe	How many times have you left your iron plugged in and forgotten about it? And think about how easily an ironing board - with a hot iron - can be tipped over. You'll eliminate these problems with an Elnapress: The Elnapress can be set up on any sturdy surface. If you keep the Elnapress closed for longer than 10 seconds, a warning buzzer will sound and the electric current will automatically shut off. The current is restored as soon as you open the press again. No more scorched garments! If you haven't used the press for more than 5 minutes, it will automatically shut itself off completely.
Money Saver	Do you take simple to wash items to the dry cleaner just because you don't want to iron them? Not anymore with the Elnapress! For items that must be drycleaned, the Elnapress is great for touch-ups making the number of trips less frequent. Think of the money you'll save!
Convenient	The Elnapress is compact, easy to set up on any sturdy surface and easy to store away.
