Complementary instructions for starting up a machine with gas
heating.
Note: do not forget to open the stop valve on the gas supply line before starting to use the
machine, and then close it again after use.
The ignition of the burner is delayed by 30 seconds following the start command in order to
allow for the pre-ventilation of the combustion chamber.
The machine will be ready for use after the message has disappeared :
"Error Gas Ignition".
The noise at the inter-ignition is not an explosion. It is a normal phenomenon.

HANDBOOK
Additional instructions to optimise a dryer-ironer.
When ironing small sheets or small washing, pass abreast the washing of the heating cylin-
der to provide correct regulation of the cylinder temperature.
As a general rule, the whole of the cylinder should be used (1). Either iron the linen from the
front (2) or iron alternately (3), which makes maximum use of the heat units available over
the surface of the cylinder. It also overcomes difficulties arising from random control values
caused by partial use of the cylinder.

Precautions for use
Please respect the following usage recommendations to get the best out of your ironer:
In manual mode
Avoid when running, too low or badadjusted temperatures as consequence of :
- a too high ironing speed with high moisture content in sheets : bad sliding on metal-
lic sparts.
- a partial use of the ironing length of the cylinder : creating overheating (be carreful
especially, to the risk for the polycotton sheets to loose their shape, generally stabi-
lised at 200 °C (392 °F).
You should begin ironing when the "Warming up" message disappears.
Check that the washing can be ironed and check the temperature at which it is to be
ironed.
The productivity and quality of ironing depend on the washing quality ; make sure that all
these conditions are satisfied.
We recommend as far as possible, that you should feed pieces of flat washing
(towels, sheets, etc.) by their hem, with the seam facing top, to obtain maximum iro-
ning quality.
Carefully engage the washing to be ironed, because it is impossible to disengage a
badly engaged washing.
Do not iron washing folded in four, because it will be too thick to achieve the drying/iro-
ning/folding quality that you are entitled to expect from your machine.
If possible, use the entire ironing width of the dryer ironer.

Practices to avoid
Make sure that the width of the washing does not exceed the useful width of the ma-
chine.
Sizes not fitting the cylinder working length, partial use of the cylinder.
Blankets should not be ironed.
Practices not recommended
Worn polycotton sheets (cotton worn away) : uneven finish look when folded, high
static electricity.
Large cotton or flax-made sheets > 200 g/m².
Cautions
Prepare the large sheets before feeding.
Avoid the torn, worn or holed sheets, that may hook and alter the measurements and
the longitudinal folding.
Comply with the mini-maxi sizes of sheets.

HANDBOOK
Using the handle
The dryer ironer is fitted with a handle.
This is very useful to take out the washing
if there is a power failure while you are
ironing; or you can use it to feed a piece
of wet washing to protect the ironing
bands when the ironing temperature is too
high.
3. Method of use
Using the tipping feed bin
The dryer-ironer is equipped with a tipping
feed bin. This is very useful for letting
large items hang to assist feeding and
allow smoothing of linen by hand.
For ease of opening, lift the bin slightly
before pivoting.

4. Safety
All repair and servicing work must be undertaken by a competent person.
Never wear full clothes during work (wide sleeves, ties, scarves, etc.).
Disconnect all energy sources and let the ironing cylinder cool down before doing any work
on the machine.
In order to avoid any danger of fire or explosion, never use inflammable products to clean the
machine.
If you smell gas, turn off the gas supply, open the windows, do not touch any switches and
inform the maintenance service.
Evacuation of vapour from a dryer ironer with gas heating must never be connected to the
evacuation used for a gas heating machine and a dry cleaning machine or other machine of
the same type.
SAFETY
Never iron if the mobile safety protec-
tor (hand protection bar) is not opera-
ting.
CAUTION
The temperature of the ironing cylinder
after use can reach 200 °C (392 °F) and
can cause serious burns if you touch it.
Allow the machine to cool down before
doing any repair or servicing work.
IMPORTANT
To ensure optimal operation of the ma-
chine (gas heating, electronic boards,
etc.), ensure that the ambient tempera-
ture does not fall below 15°C (59 °F).

Safety devices
Feed safety device
The space between the feed safety flap and the drive bands is too small for you to enter your
fingers. The machine stops automatically as soon as the flap is pushed in.
Protection of motors
The motors have overload protection :
• by thermomagnetic circuit breakers and
• by the electrical selector (for movement).
Restarting the machine
After each stoppage of the machine, power cut, emergency stop, or activation of the feed
safety, it will then be possible to start again.
- in the case of a machine with a standard console, only after pressing the green button of
the panel.
Gas heating
The gas burner is ignited and the flame is controlled by an electronic box that provides inte-
gral safety, for example if the flue draft is poor or if the gas supply is cut off.
If you have a standard console, the orange lamp signals that the system has been set to
safe. If this lamp flashes this signals that the machine has overheated.
A pressure switch connected to the combustion products outlet turns off the machine’s hea-
ting function should extraction problems arise.
Accessibility
All casings can be disassembled using a special tool.
Heating safety device
The control panel applies an initial safety level at the time the machine starts up.
A safety thermostat, which is independent of all electronic systems, limits the heating tem-
perature of the ironing cylinder in all circumstances (except in the case of a steam heating
machine).
