- Above collecting slide
- Below collecting slide
5. MACHINE IDENTIFICATION
The drying ironer is identified by a label with serial number, model, power and technical characteristics. In
order to order spare parts or request technical assistance the correct machine identification is necessary.
If this label has been modified, damaged or removed the machine cannot be correctly identified, so any
installation or maintenance operation is difficult and the warranty automatically expire.
6. INSTALLATION PREMISES AND POSITIONING
Installation must be operate by qualified personnel. The machine must be positioned in a flat surface
horizontally and in a very steady way, using the adjustable feet on the ironer side base.
To check the correct position of the ironer using a 1 mt long water level.
For a correct use, working and maintenance, leave at least 500 mm free behind the machine.
For a correct operation of ordinary and extraordinary maintenance, leave on both the
machine side a space equal to the ironer length.
The surface where the machine is position must bear at least 500 kg/m2: 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 then 70 dB.
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.
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.
9. ELECTRIC 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:
1500 1800 2100
Electric connection 5x10mm25x10mm25x10mm2
Gas connection 5x2,5mm25x2,5mm25x2,5mm2
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”.

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:
Ξ: ground
L1, L2, L3: phase
N: neutral
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 CONNECTION (only gas heated ironers)
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.

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.
11. PROOF (only for 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. THE DRYING IRONER
