MON SENSE AND LIFT OR LOWER
THE PRESS BASIN ACCORDING TO
MACHINE USE CONDITIONS.
During the first hours of use, the insulation
grease spread on the heating elements may
smell. This odour is harmless and will disap-
pear after a few working hours.
In case of a potential drop during operation,
carry out the following instructions in order
to prevent the roller cover from scorching
and the garments left in the ironer from
getting burnt:
- Turn off the main circuit breaker on the
wall.
- Wait until power supply is restored.
- Switch the main circuit breaker on the wall
back on.
- Start the ironer by the START button.
In order to reduce overall consumption rates
in your laundry room, it is advisable to make
the clothes ready to be ironed. These should
contain a relative humidity between 5% and
10%. Dryer garments would cause stubborn
creases that would consequently require
dampening and repeated ironing.
7.2 SUGGESTIONS
Do not keep the appliance on when it is not
being used. TURN OFF the main circuit
breaker on the wall when the appliance is not
being used.
During operation remember:
- Not to touch any hot part of the appliance
(upper outer edge of the basin), not even
after switching it off, because the press basin
needs a long time to cool down.
- Mind your hands when the basin is de-
scending or clothes are being introduced.
- Lift and tie the press basin up using the
appropriate lock/unlock knob.
- Before carrying out any cleaning or main-
tenance, make sure that the main cutout
switch on the wall is switched off.
- Do not iron garments which have been
cleaned, dampened or washed with inflam-
mable or explosive substances. Otherwise,
sluice them out before ironing.
- Keep inflammable agents away from the
appliance. If possible, store them in a dry
and aired room that is not accessible to
unauthorised personnel.
- Keep cleaning agents and wax away from
the ironer itself.
7.3. SPECIAL DEVICES FOR USE AND
SAFETY
During the first work hours check that:
- The correct working angle between the
operator's arm and forearm is 90°C. If the
operator is very short, a platform should
enable the correct working position. On the
contrary, if the operator is very tall, place the
appliance on a platform. Correct working
position allows higher productivity and bet-
ter ironing quality.
- Once again we wish to point out that, to
avoid burns, using the wood board when
preparing the clothes to be introduced into
the ironer, is extremely important.
7.4. ORDINARY MAINTENANCE (TO
BE CARRIED OUT BY THE OPERA-
TOR)
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAIN-
TENANCE PROCEDURE, DISCON-
NECT THE APPLIANCE BY THE
MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER ON THE
WALL.
The appliance does not require any particu-
lar maintenance thanks to its ergonomic
design and to the use of reliable, high-qual-
ity parts.
Clean the external panels with a damp cloth
regularly. Do not use inflammable or abra-
sive products.
DO NOT USE WATER JETS TO CLEAN
THE APPLIANCE.
After 100 hours of work, apply antistatic
wax onto the ironing surface of the basin in
order to allow the fabrics to slide through
more easily and to keep the basin clean.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer, which are indicated on the
wax packaging. The spreading of antistatic
wax is reserved for the authorised after-sales
service.
After 100 hours of work, disassemble the
roller cover by undoing the strings which lie
under the cotton sheet on both sides of the
roller. Wash the sheet in warm water (outer
cover) and soak the thick flannel layer in
cold water (inner cover). Dry the flannel
layer in the shade and put the sheet back on
the roller while damp without ironing it.
After maintenance, leave the basin up in rest
position, so that it does not touch the roller.
FIT ALL REMOVED PANELS BACK
INTO PLACE PRIOR TO SUPPLYING
POWER AGAIN BY THE MAIN CIR-
CUIT BREAKER ON THE WALL.

PARTS
8.1. TROUBLESHOOTING
To reach the electrical board (see fig. 4)
unscrew both closing screws. The panel will
11
hinge downwards and allow access to elec-
tric components.
Description of electrical board
1) fuse to transformer primary
2) fuse to 24Vac transformer secondary (mo-
tor power supply)
3) 230Vac auxiliary circuit fuse
4) transformer for motor supply
5) safety thermostat
6) heat contactor
7) power cord inlet strain relief.
• The ironer fails: check the following:
- the main circuit breaker on the wall is
switched on and the appliance is energised.
- fuses 1 and 3 are in good working condi-
tion.
- the emergency push-button is not held
down.
Should failure persist, contact your
authorised after-sales service or our dealer
(see last page in this booklet).
• The ends of the roller get darker and the
centre of the roller becomes inefficient Solu-
tion: start using the end sections, in order to
utilise the heat on the entire surface of the
basin; the roller will thus become a uniform
surface and will provide better ironing re-
sults.
Should malfunction persist even after taking
the above-mentioned measures, contact your
authorised assistance centre or our dealer
(see last page in this booklet).
• Basin temperature is too high (or insuffi-
cient) and it damages the laundry:
- check the temperature selection and make
sure it is suitable for the clothes to be ironed;
- lift the basin and lock it up and check that
the appliance reaches the top temperature
setting in 15 minutes.
If after checking or carrying out the above-
mentioned steps failure persists, contact your
authorised assistance centre or our dealer
(see last page in this booklet).
8.2. SAFETY DEVICES
OVERTEMPERATURE OR DISCON-
NECTED PROBE
If the temperature probe is connected irregu-
larly or registers a temperature exceeding
210°C, the lights associated to the three
temperature settings will begin to blink fast.
The machine will then remain on, but the
heat and the SET (temperature selection)
button will be disabled.
To dismiss this alarm status, switch the
appliance off and then on again.
TIME-OUT FOR PRESS BASIN UP
If the machine is turned off using the STOP
button ("O", position 2 of figures 1 and 3)
and the basin is not up at rest and locked, all
warning lights will blink and will then go off
along with the appliance as soon as the press
basin reaches its correct position.
