A press iron has pneumatic cylinders or hydraulic pistons to apply pressure, a heated buck (the heated press bed), a top padded pad, an integrated steam generator, a vacuum system to draw steam out of the linens after pressing, a foot pedal for operation, and safety sensors. Common faults: leaking pneumatic cylinder, burned-out heated buck heater, worn padding, clogged steam generator, faulty foot pedal switch.
