•
Clean the exhaust fan(s) as well as the fan housing and exhaust duct work (particularly the
bends).
•
Clean the fan motor and driving motor ventilation grids.
•
Clean the roller as soon as a layer (generally white) of scale or detergent residue builds up.
•
Clean the slats that remove the laundry from the roller and direct the pieces into the collection
tray.
Greasing:
•
Grease the chains and the drive gears as well as the driving chain of the pressing roller.
Adjustments:
•
Check that the infeed belts have the correct tension. They must be lightly stretched and must
turn over the driving roller without slipping. To loosen the belts, undo the screws at both
ends of the introduction tray and slide the tray.
•
Check the tension of the ironing belts. Particularly during the first few weeks of operation,
the belts have a tendency to lengthen slightly. In order to tighten the belts again, the two ten-
sioners at each end of the machine need to be used. Remove the side panels and then adjust
the tensioners so that the ironing belts make sufficient contact with the ironing cylinder to
drive it correctly without slipping. Test with goods.
Caution: apply the same tension to each tensioner.
Do not stretch the belts too much as there is a risk of rapid deterioration.
•
Check the pressure of the pressing roller. It must not compress the roller too much but just
enough to achieve good quality ironing; its role being to flatten the laundry.
Caution: apply the same tension to each tension spring.
•
Check the tension of the driving chain (right side of the machine), the chain must not “beat”
as there is a risk that it may break. To tighten the chain, move the adjustable gear along its
rail.
