•
Replace all machine panels.
•
Check that the temperature increases.
•
Adjust the temperature settings according to the laundry to be ironed.
•
Proceed to test the ironing process - the laundry should be dry and nicely ironed after being
processed. If this is not the case, increase the temperature or reduce the ironing speed.
Cau-
tion: the roller is coated in a protective coating when it leaves the factory. It is therefore
recommended to test using worn or old laundry.

User Safety
User safety is provided by a finger guard device located just behind the introduction tray that
protects the user from inserting their hands too far into the machine. The slightest contact with
this safety plate causes the machine to stop immediately. This plate is the ironer’s main emergency-
stop device (available over the full working width). A second emergency-stop device is located
near the control panel.
4.4
Heating System Safety
The temperature sensor, connected to the control panel and placed inside a plated probe on the
ironing cylinder, ensures that the temperature of the cylinder remains below the overheating limits
of the belts (heating is automatically disabled if the temperature reaches a maximum of 180
◦
C or
356
◦
F).
A safety thermostat (190
◦
C or 375
◦
F), also placed inside a plated probe on the ironing cylinder,
turns off the heating if the main temperature sensor fails.

Working Principle
The laundry can be laid flat on the work tray located at the machine front, then the goods are
placed on the Nomex
R
infeed belts, which feed the goods onto the drying-ironing cylinder. The
goods then pass under the infeed wrapped pressure roll (providing automatically adjusted con-
stant pressure) to the drying/ironing cylinder. The drying and ironing is carried out using Nomex
R
belts and a heated ironing cylinder. Belt tension may be adjusted using the flexible spring mounted
on a tension rack. When the laundry is dried and ironed, it is sent to the collection tray by teflon
metal spring slats (low-friction and heat resistance to +250
◦
C or 480
◦
F). The goods are delivered
dry and ironed and ready for use.
