of the three temperature settings. The fourth
setting switches the heat off again. The
current temperature is shown by the
corresponding warning light. The light blinks
until the relevant temperature is attained and
then it stays lit.
If a temperature setting is selected when the
current temperature exceeds the value
assigned to that setting, the corresponding
warning light will skip the blinking and will
stay lit straight away. If a setting is selected
when the current temperature exceeds one or
both higher selections, the corresponding
warning lights will blink fast to indicate that
the currently selected temperature is far lower
than the present basin temperature.
Electronic temperature control guarantees
that the temperature remains stable and
uniform through switching the heat on and
off very often. This is why a clicking sound
is frequently heard, which is perfectly normal.
TO SWITCH THE APPLIANCE OFF
Press the STOP button (button "O", position
2 of figure 3). The machine goes off only if
the press basin is up. Otherwise it disables
the heat and waits for the basin to be lifted.
Only then will the machine go off.
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A POWER
FAILURE
When a power failure occurs for whatever
reason, the machine goes off stopping roller
rotation and temperature control.
If a power failure occurs when the appliance
is ironing and the press basin is down against
the roller, three types of situations may arise.
1) When power is restored to the machine
the press basin is still against the roller and
the pedal is still pressed. This may be the
case when power fails for just a few seconds.
Then the roller resumes its rotation in the
ironing direction and all warning lamps flash.
The heating system stays off.
As soon the user lifts his/her foot from the
pedal, the press basin will open, the roller
will start to revolve in the opposite direction
until the machine reaches its rest condition.
Then only the power-on lamp will stay on,
on the "STOP" or "O" button. To resume
ironing, press "START" or "I".
2) When power is restored to the machine
the press basin is still against the roller but
the pedal is not pressed. This happens for
instance during a long power failure if the
press basin is not hot and the machine was
not yet working.
In this case all warning lamps flash and the
heating system stays off. The press basin
gets up instantly and goes to rest. Then only
the power-on lamp will stay on, on the
"STOP" or "O" button. To resume ironing,
press "START" or "I".
3) When power is restored to the machine,
the press basin is UNLOCKED and the
wheel at position 10 of figure 1a is loosened
up. This happens for instance if the machine
was ironing, the press basin was hot and a
garment was under this, after the knob was
used to unlock it. Then the press basin opens
to go to rest, but its movement is no longer
parallel to the roller. The basin tilts visibly,
yet this will not jeopardise machine operation
at a later stage. Cut off power. Tighten the
wheel at position 10 of figure 1a fully. Power
the machine. Then only the power-on lamp
will stay on, on the "STOP" or "O" button.
To resume ironing, press "START" or "I".
DESCRIPTION OF FIGURE 4 (page 38)
1) Manual opening knob to be operated in
case of a power failure.
To be loosened if the press basin needs to be
lifted off the roller in order to rescue a
garment that was being.
When power is restored or when the press
basin has cooled, tighten this knob fully.
2) Slope adjusting knob to be operated to
adjust press basin incline with respect to
the roller.
When the basin is open, i.e. at rest, this knob
adjusts the slope of the upper basin edge
with respect to the roller, and decreases or
increases the opening through which the
laundry is fed into the ironer. This knob has
no influence on machine operation when the
press basin is down against the roller.
3) Basin-locking hole: to be used for
locking the basin up or at rest.
With a tool poked in this hole until it sticks
out on the other side of the white support, the
roller revolves but the press basin stays
detached from the roller.
CAUTION!
This hole is to be used only to replace the
complete roller lining, i.e. to prevent the
press basin's smooth side from touching the
coverless roller and consequently avoid
damage to the basin itself.
TIPS FOR BEST USE OF THE
MACHINE
Sort out the laundry to be ironed according
to the type of fabric and start ironing the
laundry that needs the lowest temperature.
Gradually increase ironing temperature by
means of the temperature button and iron the
most temperature-resistant garments last.
You will so spare time and avoid having to
wait for the press basin to cool down.
The relative humidity contained in the
laundry to be ironed must not exceed
20%.
The following table indicates the appropriate
temperature settings for different types of
14
fabrics. It also contains the symbols
commonly used in the textile industry:
FABRIC Symbol*Sign
Perlon/arti- • Low
ficial silk
Silk-wool •• Medium max. 150°C
Cotton-linen ••• High
200°C 150°C 100°C
* These symbols are currently seen on the
labels attached to garments.
Starched laundry must be ironed last.
Press the START push-button ("I" position
1 of figure 3) and select a temperature setting
using the SET button (position 3 of figure 3).
The press basin warms up. When the
corresponding temperature selection light
stays on continuously, the machine will have
attained the required work temperature.
Lower the basin using the pedal. The roller
will start to revolve.
Lay the clothes to be ironed on the prompting
board and spread them properly; push them
to the revolving roller, which will drag them
in; you will thus avoid any possible burns.
To stop the roller and raise the basin, step off
the pedal.
CAUTION: WHEN IRONING, USE THE
WHOLE ROLLER SURFACE. This is
very important in order to distribute the heat
uniformly on the roller and reduce the wear
of the flannel cover.
We DO NOT RECOMMEND ironing
layers of laundry that are thicker than 5 mm,
as the entire roller cover would quickly wear
out.
Before ironing the laundry, make sure that
buttons, zips, clasps and buckles do not touch
the press basin; cover them with a cloth or
place them inwards so that they face the roller.
Do not iron clothes sewn with synthetic
thread, printed fabrics or garments having
plastic parts.
At the end of each working day, carry out the
following procedure:
-) Allow the roller to turn for a couple of
minutes with the basin down against the
roller and a low temperature setting, in order
to evaporate the moisture left on the roller
cover.
-) Step off the pedal to lift the press basin.
-) Switch the appliance off by the STOP
button ("O", position 2 of figure 3, page 38).
-) Cut off power supply.
During the first hours of use, the insulation
grease spread on the heating elements may
smell. This odour is harmless and will
disappear after a few hours of work.
In case of a power failure during operation,
carry out the following instructions in order
to prevent the roller cover from scorching
and the garments left in the ironer from
getting burnt:
