3. The final rinse should be as warm as pos-
sible. Add a fabric softener. Never use
starch.

the washer/extractor. For more informa-
tion within this section, go back to the
Conditioning Flatwork Before
Ironing procedure, Timing Between

CAUTION
This unit is not designed to
process nylon or rubberized
fabrics. Processing these
fabrics could result in a fire
or damage the ribbons and
ironing cylinder surface.
5. Set the temperature of the unit for the fab-
ric being processed.
The recommended ironing temperatures
are:
• VISA

300-325°F (149-163°C)
• All cotton or polyester/cotton blends
325-370°F (163-188°C).
CAUTION
VISA

polyester content and can
melt when ironed at too high
a temperature, or too slow a
speed. This can cause
damage to the return ribbons
and require a thorough
cleaning of the
ironing cylinder.
6. Turn the SPEED knob to fastest speed.
7. Process a few pieces of the flatwork. The
flatwork might feel slightly damp when it
first comes out of the unit. Set the item

flatwork should feel dry.
8. If the flatwork is still damp, decrease the
speed slightly.
9. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 until the finish on
the flatwork is correct.
