WARNINGS AND ADVICE
Prior to carrying out any inspection or work on the ironer, make sure that it
is disconnected from the mains power supply.
1) The fundamental part to operation of all the models is a heating element (ironing plate).
Avoid deliberate contact with points which in normal working position (hands resting on the table) cannot be
reached.
2) When the ironer is used for the first time the insulation on the heating elements emits a peculiar smell for a
few minutes. This is normal and should not alarm the user.
3) The roller surface must be used properly (see fig. 3) in order to keep the surface even over the whole
circumference of the roller and to obtain optimum temperature distribution. In this way scorching of the
ironed product and a drop in hourly machine production are both avoided.
4) It is advisable to begin by ironing lightweight items which require a lower temperature and go on to heavier
items, gradually raising the temperature by means of the thermostat control.
5) Temperatures above 140/150°C will increase production but will also scorch the items or the roller covering.
6) During the washing cycle prior to ironing, the use of suitably softened water is recommended in order to
prevent scale building up on the ironing surface, which would dirty the linen. A suitable amount of washing
powder is also recommended in order to avoid deposits which cause friction between the product and the
ironing surfaces.
7) When the ironer is in operation the roller covering absorbs a certain amount of humidity. For this reason at
the end of the ironing session it is advisable to let the roller turn for a couple of minutes. This will help to
evaporate residual humidity and keep longer the roller covering in good condition.
8) When the machine is turned off, make sure that the roller and the ironing plate are not in contact. In the
event of a power failure, avoid accidental scorching by raising the ironing plate. This can be done manually:
Disconnect the machine from the mains
side panel and turn counter-clockwise the handwheel (see fig. 3) that is situated under the ironing plate
motor, to move the ironing plate away from the roller.
Take the time to check the exact position of the handwheel as soon as you receive your ironer.
9) The noise level produced by our range of ironers is less than 70 dB.
Linen ironed using the higher temperatures can be very hot out of the ironing process.
In such a case, the operator shall use appropriate protection gloves for the hands.

SAFETY DEVICES

FINGER GUARD -
The finger guard (A) prevents any contact between the operator's hands and the heated
ironing plate. By minimum pressure on the bar, the ironing plate is raised up from the roller. To start again ironing
press the switch START and press the pedal.
EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON -

START and then press the pedal.
MAIN SWITCH (B) -
LOW VOLTAGE CONTROLS -
MANUAL IRONING PLATE CONTROL -
the roller by turning the handwheel (see fig. 3) on the ironing plate motor anti-clockwise. This will avoid scorching
the item or the roller covering.
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE SAFETY THERMOSTAT -
limiting an excessive rise in the latter should the main thermostat fail.
FIREPROOF ROLLER COVERING -
INSULATION OF INDUCTION HEATED PARTS -
high temperatures reached by the ironing plate and is lined with a layer of high quality insulating material.
PEDAL -
The foot pedal control (C) also has a rapid stop function: upon pressing it during working, it moves the
heating part away from the roller.
Before starting working, control the functioning of main safety devices: finger guard,
emergency stop button and pedal. In case one of these devices should not work properly do
not start ironing and call immediately a qualified technician.
The ironing plate can be raised from the roller by pressing the red "mushroom
