Extraordinary Maintenance And Provision Of Spare Parts; Safety Devices - Primus I-18 Instrucciones De Instalación Y Usuario

1) Turn off the main circuit breaker on the
wall.
2) Lift the press basin using the basin-locking
knob (see pos. 10, fig. 1a).
3) Wait until power supply is restored.
4) Tighten the basin-locking knob back again
(see pos. 10, fig. 1a).
5) Switch the main circuit breaker on the
wall back on.
6) Start the ironer by pushing 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
descending or clothes are being introduced.
- Before carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance, 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
inflammable 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 better
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
OPERATOR)
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE,
DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE BY
THE MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER ON
THE WALL.
The appliance does not require any particular
maintenance thanks to its ergonomic design
and to the use of reliable, high-quality parts.
Clean the external panels with a damp cloth
regularly. Do not use inflammable or abrasive
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
CIRCUIT BREAKER ON THE WALL.

8. EXTRAORDINARY
MAINTENANCE AND PROVISION
OF SPARE PARTS
8.1. TROUBLESHOOTING
• If the ironer is not working, check the
following:
- the main circuit breaker on the wall is
switched on and the appliance is energised.
- fuses are in good working condition.
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
15
centre of the roller becomes inefficient
Solution: 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 results.
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
insufficient) 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
DISCONNECTED PROBE
If the temperature probe is connected
irregularly 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, all warning
lights will blink and will then go off along
with the appliance as soon as the press basin
reaches its correct position.
SAFETY THERMOSTAT
The machine is fitted with and electronic
controller governing work temperature and
with a safety thermostat that can be reset
only manually and shuts off power supply to
the heating elements when overtemperature
events occur (see fig. 1a, pos. 14).
FINGER SAFETY ROD
The machine is fitted with a finger-safety
rod that keeps the user from getting scalded
(see fig. 1b, pos. 2).
EMERGENCY PUSH-BUTTON
Disconnects power supply to the appliance
at once.
FUSES
Fuses protecting the primary and secondary
circuits of the transformer, auxiliary circuit
fuse.
