Before operating the ironer, check the
following:
1. Check that the machine is level and
in a stable position on the floor. The
machine should not rock or move in any
way.
2. Ensure that all electrical, gas/steam,
and exhaust connections are made and
leak free.
3. Check that the ironer is correctly
grounded according to the earlier listed
specifications (see page 8).
4. Remove all packaging and protective
shipping materials. Discard these items -
do not store them near the ironer.
5. Inspect the thermostat sled assembly
and make sure it is in full contact with
the ironing cylinder, and is free of lint
and debris.
6. Turn the heating control to the OFF
position, and the speed control to
minimum (fully counter-clockwise).
7. Apply power to the machine. Before
doing this, double check that the supply
voltage matches the information on the
serial sticker of the ironer.
8. Press the green START button.
9. Double check that the exhaust fan is
rotating in the direction indicated on the
blower housing. Additional information
can be found on page 17.
10. Make sure the feeding belts are
acting to pull linen into the machine
(belts traveling towards the heated
cylinder)
11. Replace all panels.
12. For gas units, move the heat switch
to the ON position. The heat light turns
on. There will be a delay of 30 seconds
prior to ignition.
13. Check that the temperature
increases. When the temperature
reaches the set point, the heat light
should turn off.
14. Use old or worn linen to perform
the initial ironing test.
15. Lay the linen on the feeding belts
and allow it to be pulled into the ironer.
16. Adjust the speed control so that the
goods come out of the ironer dry and
finely pressed.
