HANDBOOK
We draw your attention on the following practices. they will have consequences on the quality of your
f nished items and can, in some cases, void the warrantly of your ironer.

Multi layer items :
sheets folded in two layers and more will be much
longer to dry. A double layer sheet will be longer to dry
than twice the time of a single layer.
The several layers of a sheet may slide against one
another depending on their material and quality. The
consequences can be a poor ironing quality (wrinkles),
will be a poor quality length foldingand most probably
an impossible cross-folding.

Worn polycotton Sheets
(cotton washed away) :
Polyester-cotton blended sheets have got a limited life-
time that needs to be considered. Old sheets will have
no cotton left after a certain amount of washes.
The consequences of ironing them on an ironer are :
- Increased electro-static unbearable by the machine
even if this one is equiped with an anti-static bar.
Sheets will stick to parts of the machine creating jams
and disrupting the length folding.
- Photocells may not detect the presence of the sheets,
also disrupting length folding.

Large items
Your machine cannot automatically feed items wider
than its width,
For an IC4 4819 the maximum width is :
1910 mm
For an IC4 4821 the maximum width is :
2120 mm
For an IC4 4825 the maximum width is :
2540 mm
For an IC4 4828 the maximum width is :
2750 mm
For an IC4 4832 the maximum width is :
3170 mm
Your machine cannot fold items longer than 3
meters

Size of items in general
Your ironer will deliver optimum results when pro-
cessing items which width is closest to the maximum
acceptable width.
Processing smaller items will alter the performance
of your ironer. In such cases, it's preferable to operate
your ironer in manual mode.
Example of sheets of 1.80 x 2.80m processed on an
IC44825FLF or FFS Gas or Electric heated:
They will have to be fed by the 1.80m width (2.80m
being wider than the machine can feed). The automa-
tic feeding will feed in the middle of the machine lea-
ving 37cm on either side of each sheet. This practice
will quickly lead to an overheating of the sides of the
cylinder and dramatically reduce the production of the
ironer.
You may delay the overheating of sides of the cylinder
by alternating the side through which you feed the
items.
You should always seek to use the maximum width of
your ironer.
