3.4 Operating Techniques
The following factors are involved in producing
the best flatwork finish possible with the unit:
• Conditioning Flatwork Before Ironing
• Unit Settings
• Processing Standards
The conditioning of flatwork before ironing and
the control settings on the unit will affect the
processing standards. The processing standards
ensure that flatwork is processed in a consistent
and efficient manner.
Conditioning Flatwork Before Ironing
There are several characteristics of flatwork
which are determined by processes before drying
and ironing, including:
• Wash Load
• Final Rinse
• Moisture Retention
• Timing Between Washing and Ironing
Wash Load
The wash load should consist of flatwork with
the same fabric blend. Mixing different fabric
blends in the same wash load can create
inconsistent results because different fabrics retain
different levels of moisture during the extraction
process. Such mixing can also create excess lint
on flatwork. The unit works most efficiently when
one type of flatwork is processed at a time.
CAUTION
Starch only according to a
proper starch program.
Improper levels of starch will
build a residue on the ironing
surface and reduce the unit’s
ability to finish flatwork.
