5.2       START-UP  (Tav. 01)

·      Activate the main electric switch which feeds the machine.  (ref.8).

·      Open the tap mounted at the water inlet to the machine   and check that the drain tap is tightly closed  (ref. 13).

·      Activate the boiler switch. (ref. 4):   

·      The pump starts immediately and the warning lamp (ref. 2) comes on to indicate that water is entering the boiler. The pump stops when the level stat which establishes the correct amount of water in the boiler, is activated and at the same time the warning lamp (ref.2) goes off.    

·      The boiler element warning lamp (ref. 3) will come on a few seconds before the water inlet lamp goes off. (ref. 2)

·      The boiler will  reach pressure as indicated on the pressure gauge (ref. 21) and the elements will stay activated until the steam pressure has  reached 2.5 bar, or until the pressure switch which ends the heating operation, is  activated.

·      When pressure on the pressure gauge has descended below 1.8 bar, the boiler element will automatically be activated.

·      After about 7 minutes, switch on the iron switch (ref. 7-11), checking that the thermostat control knob is on the “wool-cotton” position.

·      Check that the table element thermosat is positioned at around 70/80 °C or at the required temperature.

            WARNING :

            When the machine is first installed, it is necessary to start up the boiler at least twice,   allowing it to      heat up and then emptying it.

            This should be done in order to clean the interior of  the boiler and eliminate any impurities             which may have been deposited during construction.

            To proceed with the draining of the boiler, act as follows :

·      As a precaution, disactivate the boiler ( ref. 4)

·      Only open the drain valve ( ref. 13)  when  boiler pressure has descended below 1 bar.

·      To completely empty the boiler, turn on the iron switch ( ref. 7/11) and keep the iron button pressed so that air is let in through the steam hose and allows any water to be expelled.

 

 

 

5.3             CONTROL OF IRON TEMPERATURE

            The ideal iron temperature of the iron should be carried out by testing the iron on a white            

            cloth.                                       

            The iron should be kept on the cloth for about one minute. If the cloth goes yellow, turn the             thermostat regulation knob in the anti-clockwise direction. The test should be repeated until             the cloth stays white.

            Hold the iron up and push the micro switch repeatedly to check that no water is issued             together with the steam.

            If this is not the case, wait a few minutes until the iron has sufficiently heated up.       

            If necessary, raise the temperature by turning the thermostat knob in the clockwise direction.

 

5.4            STEAM ISSUE  REGULATION

            Steam issue is regulated by us when the machine is tested.

            Should a different rate of flow be required, using a screwdriver turn the steam positioned on             the iron solenoid valve forwards or backwards as required.

 

5.5            VACUUM ON ADJUSTABLE ARM

            Should the machine be equipped with arm, vacuum action can be obtained on the arm by             gently pulling this towards the operator.

 

5.6            VACUUM ON THE TABLE

            To activate vacuum on the table, once this has been heated up by the elements, press the       pedal (ref. 15).

 

5.7       END OF DAILY OPERATION

At the end of the working day, remember to do the following :

·      close the water supply

·      disconnect the machine by putting the switch on the “O” position.

·      switch off the irons (ref.7 and ref. 11)
