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.
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 35)
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
fabrics. It also contains the symbols
commonly used in the textile industry:

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 35).
-) 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:
1) Turn off the main circuit breaker on the
wall.
2) Lift the press basin using the basin-
locking knob (see pos. 10, fig. 1a).
3) Wait until power supply is restored.
4) Tighten the basin-locking knob back
again (see pos. 10, fig. 1a).
5) Switch the main circuit breaker on the
wall back on.
6) Start the ironer by pushing the START
button.
In order to reduce overall consumption
rates in your laundry room, it is advisable
to make the clothes ready to be ironed.
These should contain a relative humidity
between 5% and 10%. Dryer garments
would cause stubborn creases that would
consequently require dampening and
repeated ironing.
7.2 SUGGESTIONS
Do not keep the appliance on when it is not
being used. TURN OFF the main circuit
breaker on the wall when the appliance is
not being used.
