The surface where the machine is position must bear at least 500 kg/m : the machine load can be
considered static. The machine must be positioned in a good aired room (as per the normative in force) and
the room temperature must be between +10°C and +35°C. In the room must be granted an air recycle
proportional to the air used by the machine.

The ironer must be vented directly from outside in an environment free from pollution. The ventilation must
be guaranteed by permanent opening on the room walls, which are looking on outside. The net free total
section must comply with local rules on matter.

7. NOISE
The air noise produced by the ironer causes an continue and weighted A level acoustic pressure which is
lower than 70 dB.

8
E071001C 02/11/09

8. EXHAUST (only Gas heated ironers) AND HUMID AIR CONDUCTION

The exhaust conduction (for gas heated ironer) must comply with the rule on matter in force. In case of gas
heated ironer the chimney must be adequately far from easily inflammable or combustible materials (at least
500 mm). Contact with this material must be avoided using air space or insulators. In case the distance
cannot be respected, please use an adequate protection against heat.
The exhaust conduction can be 15 mt long (diameter 100 mm) and must be insulated or predisposed in a
way to collect the eventual condenses. In case the length need to be more than 15 mt the installer must
contact the manufacturer. The exhaust conduction, the connection to the chimney flue and the chimney flue
must be realized complying with national and local rules in force. Use of rigid ducts is compulsory;
connections between elements must be tight and all the elements must be resistant to heat, condenses and
mechanical solicitation. Chimney flue not adequately dimensioned or not correctly shaped amplifies burning
noises and gives condenses problems; they may alter burning parameter making easier soot and scales. In
order to avoid burned gas exit and noise, connections must be tight; use material (filler, rubber solution,
silicones) heat resistant.
In case of connection to existing exhaust collectors, the connection must never be at “T” way, but always at
“Y” with 45° connection.

Humid air exhaust (marked in the picture with A) and burn gas exhaust (marked in the picture
with B) must always be external to the installation room, one separated by the other and in
compliance with the local rules in force.

The user must be well aware and trained about the dangerousness connected with the
tampering with conductions and/or modification, obstructions or ructions about the installation room
ventilation openings.

Refer to the here attached technical data sheet for dimensions and quote about gas and humid air exhaust.

E071001C 02/11/09

9. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Electric connection must be carried out by qualified technicians and must comply with local and national
rules in force.
Check the supply tension, it must comply with the label data on the ironer back. To connect the machine,
please use a cable H05 VV – F or more. The cable must be dimensioned following the here below section
chart:

2500 2800 3200

2 2 2
Electric heating 5x25mm 5x25mm 5x25mm
2 2 2
Steam/gas heating 5x2,5mm 5x2,5mm 5x2,5mm

Before the ironer power supply line install a device for disconnection (i.e.: magneto thermal differential unit)
with a contact opening which allows the complete disconnection in case of the conditions of III category over
tension are verified, complying with the rules in force.
Be sure the main switch is in position “0”.
Open the side door using the key given with the ironer documents.

Take off the door paying attention that already connected cables are not pulled out.
Pass the cable through the cable holder on the ironer left side.
Electric supply must be done connecting the cable to the terminals mounted on the ironer:

: ground

L1, L2, L3: phase

N: neutral

E071001C 02/11/09

As soon as the electric connection is made, check the suction fan correct working. In case the
suction fan are supplied with a 3-phase system, please check that the motor sense of rotation is
correct and that the direction is the one of the air exhaust. In case the motor fan are turning in the
wrong direction, please change round two supply phases.

In case the machine is gas heated, please check the correct position of phase and neutral in
case of 1 phase machines. The wrong connection cause the missing survey of the ionization sensor.

Ironer must be connected to a efficient ground system: the manufacturer decline any responsibility in case
this connection would not be complying with rules on matter.
Before any maintenance operation cut the electric supply to the machine: for maintenance refer to the ironer
electric diagram available in the pocket on the side door.

WARNING! Even if the main switch is on “0”, cables before it have tension!

10. GAS CONNECTIONS (only gas heated ironer)

Gas connection must be made by qualified technicians and in compliance with national and local rules in
force. Please check the supplied gas, it must correspond to the one indicated on the technical data labels
stuck on the machine back.
Please check the correct position of the regulation ring (if existing). After that, close the side panels if still
open, start the machine and test the pressure on the nozzle: use the following tables.

2500, 2800, 3200

Code Gas Kind Pressure at nozzle Nozzle Air intake position
O G20 2E e 2H 12 440 no
R G30 e GPL 3+ e 3B/P 27 290 no

For the supply system, please use an approved pipe: in case of a rigid pipe, it must be equipped with an
expansion ring
For the gas supplying pipe dimensions, please refer to the attached technical data sheet: the external pipe
system must be adequate to the used kind of gas and in compliance with the rules of the country where the
ironer is going to be installed. Install a pressure reducer correctly dimensioned on the gas supply system and
equipped the line with a valve with manual closure system.

ATTENTION! Gas valve are dimensioned for a pressure up to 55mbar. If the pressure is above
this value, the valve membranes could be broken. For this reason a careful control of the pressure on
the system before the machine installation is compulsory.

ATTENTION! If the pressure at the noozles fall down, it means that the gas system capacity is
not enough. In this case, check if the gas supply lines are o fan adeguate size. Do not forgeth to take
in consideration the line pressura fall beacuse of the line length.

Do not forget that adequate air inlets are necessary and that they must comply with the local and national
rules in force and that they must take in consideration the installed power and the suction fan capacity:

2500 2800 3200

Power [kW] 53 57 68

E071001C 02/11/09

11. PROOF (only gas heated ironer)

All system and equipment connection must be proofed. We suggest you to use an adequate spay identifying
leaks; otherwise you can spread some foamy not corroding substances. In any case no bubbles must form.
In case there are some leaks, please repair them.

DANGEROUS! Do not use free flames to proof gas leaks!

12. STEAM CONNECTION (only steam heated ironers)

Steam connection must be performed by qualified technicians and in compliance with national and local
rules and standards.
Steam must have the following specifications:
minimum pressure: 10/12 bar
minimum capacity requested per model:

IN) steam entrance

OUT) condense drain

H2 (distance from the floor) referring to the Water/air separator (3) must be higher then H1 referring to the
coupling (2). The two quote must differ at least of 30 cm.

13. PED ROLLER INSTRUCTIONS

In the steam heated ironer, the roller is subject to the European Community 97/23 directive in matter of
equipment under pressure, usually called PED, because the cylinder is a pressure container of IV category.
Each roller is CE marked to confirm that it was tested for the conformity: a metal label explain its
characteristics (as well as the corrosion upper thickness value) and the serial number. This label is fixed on a
lateral cover of the roller.
The roller mounting is operated by the manufacturer.

The roller working start is under installer responsibility. The installer must ask for the
homologation. The safety devices are not included in the machine supply.

It is necessary to remember that:

- roller max working pressure is 12 bar

- the whole system must be equipped with a safety valve, which must be adequately sized respect on
the whole system where the ironer is installed: the installer is responsible for the valve working start
and for the safety valve maintenance. Dangerous situation must be avoided providing suitable safety
devices.
- The installer must provide suitable control system to verify immediately possible working problems.
- The installer must control if in the installation room gas or vapours may cause fire if they should
enter in contact with the heated surface.
- Each two year control the roller inside surface to verify corrosion level. The optic fibre video camera
can be insert using the roller air hole, as shown in the below picture:

13
E071001C 02/11/09

- Referring to any opening a closing device, change the gasket, if necessary, after the opening: check
possible damages on the gasket contact surface.
- The installer must provide suitable tools to avoid risks caused by the air intake and exhaust
obstructions.
- Each connection must be fixed using suitable locking elements and controller yearly.
- At the working shift beginning the pressure must increase gradually, the steam must be open slowly
(see the relative paragraph)
- During long time of rest, the roller external surface must be protected against rust with suitable
substances

The roller programmed life is 10 years: after this time, the machine must be qualified again.

Dangers may be caused by:

- Steam looses because of the couples breaking down: these leaks are contained inside the machine.
Following eventual steam looses, all the machine supply must be cut and the correct maintenance
must be done.
- At the end of the roller life, the couples may cause steam looses. This loose can happen near the
machine sides. In this case, stop the machine and verify if the roller must be changed.

14. COMPRESSED AIR CONNECTION (only for ironer equipped with folding system)
Compressed air connection must be performed by qualified technician and in compliance with national and
local rules and standards. Compressed air supplying the circuit must have the following specification:

- minimum pressure: 6 bar

- air blew default pressure: 2.9 bar
- air connection: 12mm rapid connection.
- Condenses outlet: 6mm rapid connection.
- Minimum capacity: 500 litre/h (in case of on compressor dedicated to the machine, we suggest a
minimum tank of 50 litres)

All connection between installation system and equipment must be proofed. We suggest you to use an spray
identifying leaks; otherwise you can spread some foamy not corroding substances. In any case no bubbles
must form. In case there are some leaks, please repair them.
At the end, close the side panels, start the machine and using the two gauges on the back control the correct
air pressure.

ATTENTION: The air pressure regulation depend on the weight of the fabrics you need to iron.
Heavier is the fabric, higher is the air blow pressure you need.
Air pressure regulation for first and second fold is different. For the second fold the weight to move
is double.

14
E071001C 02/11/09

15. WORKING CYCLE: ALL MODELS

While working the entire roller length must be used, in order to maintain the same temperature on all the
roller length.
The machine dried and iron only flat linen.
Ironing temperature must comply with the temperature written on the fabric label.
Residual humidity on the linen that must be ironed, cannot be above the 50%. It means that this ironer must
be used with linen washed in a high spin washing machine.
Hourly production written on the technical data sheet has been calculated on the base of ISO 9398
standards.

ATTENTION! Yellow stains on ironed linen means that the detergent was not well rinsed!

ATTENTION! Wrinkles on the ironed linen may means a to much low residual humidity.
Please pay attention also to the fabric thickness. Differences in the thickness of the same
cloth may origin wrinkles. Ironing of a folded cloth may origin wrinkles.

ATTENTION! Do not start to iron until the minimum temperature of 80°C has been reached
and, anyway, do not start to iron before the minimum ironing temperature adequate for the
linen to work has been reached.

ATTENTION! In case of emergency and necessity of a rapid machine stop, push one of the
two emergency push buttons on the machine sides. Once the emergency button is pushed,
the ironing roller stops.

ATTENTION! When the emergency stop button is pushed, the roller stop. If the temperature
is above 80°C, the ironing belts may burn. In case the machine could not be starter again,
pass a wet bed sheet between roller and belts making roll the roller manually as described in
the relative paragraph. This operation needs to be repeated until the temperature goes under
80°C.

ATTENTION! The ironing surfaced is defined by the ironing and introduction belts. Ironing out
of the introduction belts may stain the clothes.

ATTENTION! Please follow strictly the ironing instruction on the clothes label. If no
instruction are reported on the linen, please verify the fabric composition before to decide the
ironing temperature. Please, pay particular attention to mixed fabrics and tissues with
different seams.

ATTENTION: the machine is addressed to iron only flat linen!

16. HOW TO REACT IN CASE OF ENTRAPMENT

Risks of entrapment is reduced by the hand safe bar. In case a limb should be entrapped into the machine, it
is necessary to provide, also manually, to the roller rotation reversing, in order to free the limb.
In this case follow the procedure.
Insert the emergency crank into the appropriate hole on the left side.

15
E071001C 02/11/09

Make the roller turn on the direction opposite to the ironing one, rotating clockwise the crank.
Turn the crank until the limb is completely free.

17. HOW TO REACT IN CASE OF BLACK OUT

In case the electric supply is suddenly cut, one or more clothes may remain between the roller and the
ironing belts and risking to be burn.
In case the roller temperature is above 80°C, also the ironing belts may burn.
In this case, please, follow the below procedure.
Insert the crank in the predisposed hole on the left side.

16
E071001C 02/11/09

Turn the crank in a no clockwise sense, so that the roller turn in the ironing sense.
In the mean time insert wet linen on all the roller length, as when you are normally working, so that the
temperature fall down.

ATTENTION! If the roller temperature is high (over 80°C), insert wet linen on all the roller
length, and make the roller turn in order to avoid the ironing belts burn. Stop only when the
roller is cold.

18. WORKING CYCLE: SWITCH ON

Before to turn on the machine, please, be sure that the user well understand the machine safety devices.
Turn on the machine following the here below procedure:
- Be sure the emergency crank is on the back of the left side

The roller starts to turn.
Introduction belts start to turn in the introducing direction.

ATTENTION: this ironers must not be use to fold. Do not fold one or more times the linen to
be ironed before to introduce them on the ironer.

During the ironing cycle, the entire roller length must be used, so the temperature is
maintained uniform on all the roller length. So, independently from the linen size, introduce
the item as shown in the picture.

19
E071001C 02/11/09

The ironing temperature to be set must comply with the indication given by the linen label, in order to be
suitable for the fabrics to be ironed. At the end of the ironing shift, the machine cannot be stopped until the
roller temperature reach a value below 80°C.
The residual humidity control of the linen to be ironed cannot be above 50%.
The drying ironer must be used with fabrics spin in a high spin washer. This ironer is addressed to dry and to
iron the linen at the same time.

When the machine is not working, cut all the supply:

electricity, gas, air, steam (if present) etc.

21. WORKING CYCLE: USE A MACHINE WITHOUT FOLDING SYSTEM

Here below it is explain how to set the main parameters of a machine without folding system.

Attention: this machines must not be used to fold. It is forbidden to fold one or more times
the linen before to iron them. The machine must be used only to iron flat linen.

21.1 HOW TO CHANGE THE IRONING TEMPERATURE (MACHINE WITHOUT FOLDING SYSTEM,
GAS OR ELECTRIC HEATING)
While the machine is working, press the keys “+” and “-“ corresponding to the “TEMPERATURE” at the same
time

While the two keys are used, the set point temperature is shown above on the left of the display.
Example: if the ironing temperature to be set is 130°C, keep pressed the increasing key until the display
shows:

130°C 5mt/min

Once the wished temperature is displayed, leave the temperature increasing key. The set value is
memorized. After few seconds, the set point temperature disappear and the roller real temperature is
displayed. The set point temperature scroll on the display.

20°C 5mt/min
Riscaldamento attivo fino a 130°C

The temperature is expressed in °C. It is possible to visualize the temperature in °F, ask to the installer for
the microprocessor configuration.
The ironing temperature must be chosen, taking in consideration the linen label instruction. The ironing
temperature choice, must take in consideration also the roller speed.
NOTE: at the ironing start, when the set point temperature is reached for the first time, the buzzer ring for
some seconds.

21.2 HOW TO CHANGE THE IRONING TEMPERATURE (MACHINE WITHOUT FOLDING SYSTEM,
STEAM HEATING)
The steam heated ironer has no temperature control system active. The temperature is given by the steam
flow coming in the ironer. The temperature display is the roller surface temperature. The temperature control
can be made only operating on the steam flow, so opening or closing the inlet hose. While you are operating
20
E071001C 02/11/09

on the steam hose, check the temperature changing on display. Once the wished temperature has been
reached, stop the hose opening.

NOTE: as per the gas or electric heated ironer, it is possible to fix a set point temperature, but:
- If the set point temperature is reached, there are no stop to the steam flow.
- At the ironer start, when the temperature is reached, the buzzer ring for some seconds.

21.3 HOW TO CHANGE THE IRONING SPEED (MACHINE WITHOUT FOLDING SYSTEM)
While the ironer is working, select the wished ironing speed using the increasing and decreasing keys.

Example: if the wished speed is 6 mt/min, keep pressed the rabbit key until the display shows the wished
ironing speed.

20°C 6mt/min
Riscaldamento attivo fino a 130°C

Once the wished speed is displayed, release the rabbit key. The set value is memorized. The speed is
displayed in meter per minute. The ironing speed must be chosen referring to the fabrics characteristics. The
speed definition is also function of the roller temperature.

21.4 HOW TO USE THE COOLING

The “cooling” function allows to optimize and save the thermal energy stored on the machine. This function
can be used at the end of the shift, or when the ironing work need to be interrupt. To activate/deactivate this
function press “COOLING” on the key board.

When this function is on the thermoregulation is interrupted; the display shows that the cooling is activated:

130°C 6mt/min
Sto raffreddando fino a 80°C

The roller turn until the temperature fall below 80°C. Once this temperature has been reached the machine
stop and stay in stand-by mode. If it is necessary to activate again the thermo regulation, the cool down
function can be stopped before the 80°C are reached pressing again the key COOLING. In this way, the set
point temperature is considered again and the ironing shift can start again.
In case of steam heated ironer, the selection of this function do not start the cooling. The heating
interruption can be done only closing the steam supply gate.

21.5 RESET KEY ON KEYBOARD

In case of gas heated ironer, a reset key is present on the keypad. This key can be used to restore the
eventual flame control device locks.
