Pre-Operating Procedures
NOTE: All maintenance must always be carried
out when the machine is stopped, the cylinder is
cold, and the circuit breaker is turned off.
Perform the following procedures daily before starting
the finisher:
1. Inspect the area between the thermostat and the
cylinder by gently pressing on the thermostat
holder so the thermostat lifts up.
2. Clean area if debris is present.
3. Check that the thermostat holder touches the
cylinder.
Operating Instructions
To identify the finisher’s controls, refer to Figure 20.
IMPORTANT: The flatwork finishers are for
professional use and must be operated by qualified
personnel.
1. Perform Pre-Operating Procedures.
2. Check that all controls are in position 0 (OFF),
and that the speed regulator knob is set to the
minimum position.
3. Turn the circuit breaker to position 1 (ON).
4. Press the green Power On button and hold down
for 1 to 2 seconds.
5. Check that the feeding ribbons are rotating in
direction toward interior of finisher.
6. Check the operation of the finger guard safety
panel by touching the panel. If finisher does not
stop, press Power Off button, discontinue use and
call a qualified service person.
7. Press the green Power On button and hold down
for 1 to 2 seconds.
8. Turn the heat switch to position 1 (ON).
9. Adjust the temperature selection knob according
to the type of fabric and dampness level of the
material being ironed.
Mark 1: from 212°F (100°C) to 266°F (130°C)
Mark 2: from 266°F (130°C) to 320°F (160°C)
Mark 3: from 320°F (160°C) to 356°F (180°C)
10. Wait until the ironing cylinder reaches a
temperature close to the selected temperature.
The heat indicator light turns off when the
required temperature is reached.
IMPORTANT: The working temperature varies
depending on the fabric being ironed but must never
exceed a constant temperature of 356°F (180°C).
11. Place the linen flat on the input tray and allow it
to be automatically pulled into the finisher by the
feeding ribbons. Refer to Maintenance section
for information on adjusting tension of the
feeding and return ribbons.
12. Turn the speed regulator knob left to reduce
speed or right to increase speed.
• Left = Reduce Speed
• Right = Increase Speed
NOTE: To perfectly dry and put sheen on the laundry,
the speed must be adjusted according to the type of
fabric and dampness level of the material being ironed.
13. When the work is almost completed, turn the heat
switch to position 0 (OFF) about 20 minutes before
finishing ironing to allow the cylinder to cool
gradually. Once the ironing has been completed,
allow the finisher to continue to run for about
20 to 30 minutes to allow the finisher to dry.
IMPORTANT: Never stop the machine when the
temperature is equal to or higher than 176°F
(80°C). This may cause damage to the feeding and
return ribbons.
IMPORTANT: When ironing smaller sized articles,
make sure to work along the length of the finisher,
maintaining a consistent usage of each of the return
ribbons. Doing this will prolong the life of the
return ribbons.
14. Remove the finished linen from the output tray.
15. Hang or fold ironed linen as soon as possible to
preserve finish.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave damp linen in the
finisher, as this will cause the cylinder to rust.
16. Press the red Power Off button to shut down the
finisher.
