Operation
Condition of linen
For a good finish the ideal residual moisture
level lies between 25% - 40%.
If the laundry is rinsed with hot water in the
final rinse, the residual heat in the laundry,
together with the reduced residual moisture
content, will lead to shorter processing times
and save energy.
Laundry with a synthetic fibre content
greater than 50% (e.g. Dralon) must not be
ironed as the high temperatures would
melt the fibres.
Laundry with a lower synthetic content can
be ironed at a low temperature.
Preparing the flatwork
Before starting to iron laundry should be
sorted according to size and type of fabric.
First iron articles made from:
perlon, nylon etc.
(
- low temperature)
then iron:
woollens and silks
(
- medium temperature)
then iron:
cottons and linen fabrics
(
- high temperature)
To switch back to ironing at a lower tempera-
ture reduce the temperature setting and then
wait for it to cool down sufficiently, i.e. when
the temperature indicator light "°C" comes on
again.
Starched laundry should be ironed last to pre-
vent any starch residues on the heater plate
from affecting other items of laundry.
Items with buttons should be passed through
the ironer with the buttons facing into the rol-
ler padding. If they face upwards there is a
danger of them being damaged or torn off
when the item is passed through the ironer.
A cloth should be placed over zips, metal but-
tons and hooks to protect the heater plate
during ironing.
Metal and plastic buckles and very bulky
buttons should not be passed through the
ironer.
Note!
Clean the flatwork ironer before using for
the first time by passing through a cloth
along the entire length of the trough.
Check the function of the Finger Guard
The finger guard is a safety feature which
must be checked daily for proper function-
ing before the machine is used.
If fingers slip between the laundry feed in
table and the finger guard the roller must stop
immediately and the heater plate withdraw
from the roller.
The finger guard does not work if the roller is
running in reverse.
If the finger guard has been activated, the
machine can only be restarted by pushing
in button "I".
