MACHINE UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
WARNING:
The unit must be installed, opened and repaired by fully qualified technicians only.
6.1
UNPACKING
Find the most suitable place where to put the machine, then remove it from the packaging and check that it is intact. The
packing materials do not require special disposal as they are not dangerous or polluting. Refer to the local rules in force
to discard them.
6.2
INSTALLATION
The machine does not need to be anchored to the floor, except for installation on self-moving vehicles, where it is
necessary to use the holes on the base for the right attachment.
For correct use and operation, as well as for easy maintenance, leave a free space around the machine.
Do not put the machine in dangerous or flammable places.
6.3
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Connect the machine to the power line as shown in the diagram, ensuring that the power supply voltage corresponds to
that indicated on the rating plate. To ensure safe connection to the main supply, use a magnetothermal switch or
otherwise a switch with fuses.
WARNING:
At the end of the electrical connection, check that the cables are well fixed, isolated and protected from
bumps.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
7.1
OPERATION
Installation and maintenance must be carried out by qualified technicians only.
Do not use the machine plunged in fluids, or in dangerous or flammable places.
Do
not ignore the dangers to the operator’s health and follow the hygienic and safety prescriptions.
Always use piping suitable for operating pressures.
Make sure that the electrical wiring is carried out correctly according to the current regulations, and that the
fuse blocks are closed and complete of fuses.
Check that the safety and control devices of the boiler (pressure gauge, pressure switch and safety valve)
are intact.
Check that the electrical wiring and the piping of the iron are intact and secure.
7.2
USE
Verify the water level in the tank and add more water if necessary.
Turn on the boiler and the iron.
The boiler power supply is fed automatically by turning on the indicator light.
The boiler reaches the operating pressure of 2.8 bar after a few minutes and the related light turns on
automatically.
The boiler is ready to supply steam.
Absence of water in the boiler is indicated by the switching off of the two lights (boiler power supply and steam
pressure).
To top up the water it’s necessary to wait 2 or 3 minutes after the lights turn off.
It’s possible to iron without completely filling the water tank. Using 1 litre of water provides a range of ironing time
of 1 to 2 hours. To verify the amount of water added, simply insert the dipstick level into the boiler and cover the
upper hole with your finger as you extract it.

Office or seller of Ghidini products.
PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
TROUBLES
POSSIBLE CAUSES
SOLUTIONS
The machine does not work.
Main power failure
Check that the supply terminals are live.
Fuses are blown
Check fuses.
The boiler switch is on but the power
supply and steam lamps are turned off.
Absence of water in the boiler
Refill water tank.
Faulty safety thermostat.
Replace thermostats.
The boiler light and switch are on, but the
boiler does not reach the requested
operating pressure.
Heaters are burnt out
Check heaters.
WARNING:
If the safety valve is released, switch the boiler off immediately and contact a qualified technician. Do not
block the exhaust and do not underestimate the severity of the problem, as there could be risk of explosion.
