Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
RUTER comes folded, with the legs already fitted.
There is nothing to screw together — you only unfold it.
Step 2 · manual step 1
Stand the folded board up on its narrow end.
The pointed end faces down and the feet rest on the floor.
Step 3 · manual step 1
Push the hook aside to free the leg.
Hold the top of the board with your other hand, as in the manual, step 1.
Step 4 · manual step 1
Swing the board down — the legs open.
Keep hold of the board while it lowers.
Step 5 · manual step 2
Lift the lever under the board.
It releases the legs so you can change the height.
Step 6 · manual step 2
Lift the board to the height you want.
Keep the lever up while the legs slide along the notches.
Step 7 · manual step 2
Let go of the lever — the bar must sit in a notch.
Check that it has dropped into place before you start ironing.
Tips & safety
- Never use this board with a steam generator. Keep it out of reach of children, and don’t use it if any part is broken, torn or missing.
- Max load: 2.5 kg wide end, 2 kg pointed end. As shown in the manual, page 10.
- To fold it away: see the manual, pages 11–12. Lift the lever, stand the board on its end, hook the leg back in place, then let go of the lever.
