Lay the clothes to be ironed on the wooden
board spreading them out carefully and then
press the pedal. The roller will start turning
and the ironing basin will be lowered. The
roller automatically drags the cloths under
the basin, so avoiding the risk of getting
burnt. The ironed laundry will be dropped on
the laundry-collecting basket. Then press
the pedal again to raise the basin and iron
another garment. Appliances featuring a
speed regulator can iron very stubborn
fabrics, since a reduction of the driving speed
from 4 to 2 meters per minute provides good
ironing results. The fume-extracting model
S140/25 AV differs from the models so far
described only in the fact that they can cope
with laundry containing much higher
humidity.
ATTENTION:
1) IRON USING THE ENTIRE ROLLER
SURFACE
This is very important in order to distribute
the heat uniformly on the roller and to reduce
the wear of the flannel cover.
2) DO NOT IRON LAYERS OF LAUNDRY
THICKER THAN 8mm as this would
quickly wear the cover of the roller.
3) POSSIBLY IRON SINGLE LAYERS
OF LAUNDRY. For best results do not
introduce folded items, because the innermost
layer may not be ironed sufficiently.
When introducing the laundry into the ironer
make sure that buttons, zips, clasps and
buckles will not touch the basin; if they do,
cover them with a cloth or place them in such
a way so that they face the roller.
Do not iron clothes sewn with synthetic
thread, printed fabrics or garments having
plastic parts.
In order to reduce consumption rates in your
laundry room, it is advisable to always have
damp clothes available to be ironed. These
should contain a relative humidity ranging
between 5% and 10% up to 25% for fume-
extracting versions.
Ironing clothes with less humidity may cause
undesired
wrinkling,
consequently require dampening and
repeated ironing.
7.3 SUGGESTIONS
Do not keep the appliance on when it is not
being used. TURN OFF the main cutout
switch when the appliance is not being used.
During operation remember:
- Not to touch any hot parts (upper outer edge
of the basin), not even at the end of a working
day, because the basin needs a long time to
cool.
- Mind your hands when the basin is
descending and when introducing clothes.
- In case of a black-out when the basin is
down on the roller, open the emergency door
quickly and raise the basin by turning the
appropriate handwheel counter-clockwise,
thus avoiding damage to the fabric and to the
roller cover.
- Before carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance, make sure that both the built-
in cutout switch and the wall cutout switch
are off.
- Do not iron garments which have been
cleaned, dampened or washed with
inflammable or explosive substances unless
they have been previously washed in water.
- Keep inflammable chemical agents far
from the appliance. If possible store in a dry
and aired room which is not accessible to
unauthorised personnel.
- Keep cleaning and polishing products away
from the ironer itself.
7.4 INFORMATION REGARDING
SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR USE AND
SAFETY
During the first running hours check that:
- The correct working angle between the
operator's arm and forearm is 90°. If the
operator is very short, a platform should
enable the above-mentioned working
position. On the contrary, if the operator is
very tall, install the appliance on a platform.
A correct working position allows higher
productivity and better ironing quality.
- Once again we wish to point out the
importance of using the wooden board to
prepare clothes to be introduced into the
ironer and so avoid personal injuries.
7.5 ORDINARY MAINTENANCE TO BE
CARRIED OUT BY OF THE OPERATOR
BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY
MAINTENANCE, MAKE SURE THAT
THE WALL CUTOUT SWITCH
PLACED BEFORE THE APPLIANCE
IS SWITCHED OFF.
The appliance does not require any particular
care thanks to its ergonomic design and to
the use of reliable, high-quality parts.
During use, cleaning and maintenance
procedures it is absolutely necessary to
make sure that the moving parts of the
appliance (motor, chain, etc.) cannot be
reached by tools or even touched with a
which
will
hand. The manufacturer declines any
responsibility for any personal injury arising
while using, cleaning or servicing the ironer.
Clean the external panels with a damp cloth
regularly. Avoid using inflammable or
abrasive products.
DO NOT USE WATER JETS TO CLEAN
THE APPLIANCE.
After 100 working hours, apply antistatic
wax onto the basin's ironing surface in order
to allow the fabrics to slide through more
easily and to keep the basin clean. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions indicated on the
wax packaging.
After 100 working hours, disassemble the
roller cover by undoing the strings which are
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 damp sheet
back on the roller without ironing it.
After servicing leave the basin in its resting
position (that is, far from the roller).
PRIOR TO RECONNECTING POWER
SUPPLY THROUGH THE BUILT-IN
CUTOUT SWITCH AND THE WALL
CUTOUT SWITCH, FIT ALL THE
PREVIOUSLY REMOVED PANELS
BACK INTO PLACE.

EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE
AND PROVISION OF SPARE PARTS
8.1. TROUBLESHOOTING
• Should the ironer fail to work, make sure
that:
- the wall cutout switch is on and the machine
is getting current;
- the built-in cutout switch is switched on
and the machine is being supplied with
current;
- the emergency door is in its correct place
and safely closed;
- the luminous start push button has been
pressed.
If after checking or carrying out the above-
mentioned steps, the ironer fails to work,
contact your authorised assistance centre or
our dealer (see last page of this booklet).
• If the ends of the roller start to blacken and
the centre of the roller becomes inefficient,
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 better ironing results will be obtained.
If after checking or carrying out the above-
mentioned steps the fault persists, contact
your authorised assistance centre or our
dealer (see last page of this booklet).
• If the basin is too hot and the laundry get
damaged (or it is not hot enough):
- check the temperature setting on the
thermostat and make sure it is suitable for
the clothes to be ironed;
- with the basin cold and standing up in its
resting position make sure that the appliance
reaches the high temperature limit within 15
minutes.
If after checking or carrying out the above-
mentioned steps the fault persists, contact
your authorised assistance centre or our
dealer (see last page of this booklet).
• If the basin does not lower itself against the
roller:
- check that the pressure on the pedal is
transmitted;
- check that the finger safety rod has not been
actuated;
- check that the local power company has not
inverted your incoming three-phase supply ;
if this has happened, have the phases inverted
by our authorised technician or by a qualified
