and the ironing surface flat.
5.2 Electrical Connection
For the electrical connection and above all for the power supply, please follow carefully the
instructions of the wiring diagram (enclosed) as well the warning signs symbols attached on
the machine. In case you have purchased a single phase machine 230V, connect the machine
to the power into the socket 230V/16A. The connection should be done with 3-phase 3Χ1,5
mm (1 phase, 1 neutral, 1 grounded). The power should be provided with a fuse 10Α. If the
machine is 400V/3 phase, the connection should be made to a 5-poles cable 5Χ1,5 mm (3
phase, 1 neutral, 1 grounding). The power should be secured with a 3-poles safety switch
(3Χ10Α).
CAUTION! For your own safety, pay attention to all the warning labels (yellow colored) that
are placed on the machine. The manufacturer bears no liability for any damages or accidents

6. Activation Instructions
For the instructions mentioned in the current section please see the below image(picture 3).
Picture 3: Switches
Turn on the main switch No 01.
Switch the thermostat that is placed below the buck to temperature 110°C during the
winter and to 90°C during the summer.
Whenever you want to use the suction just press the left pedal.
Adjust the steam quantity of the steam generator in proportion to the suction
performance of the table, in order to avoid steam liquidation on the working surface.
The refined fabrics require small quantity of steam, while the gross fabrics require big
quantity of steam.
The ironing buck’s heating is activated when you press switch No 03 to position I.
*In case the table disposes Vario iron’s system (optional) hook the steam iron from the
balancer and adjust the distance of the steam iron from the working surface

Instruction Manual

(approximately 5cm). After finishing ironing unhook the steam iron from the balancer and
put it on the iron rest mat.
* * In case your table disposes a blowing system of air:
Adjust the volume of the blowing air with the lever according to the requirements of
the fabric (weight, quality , etc.) from the knob which is placed in the main body of
the machine
Push with your foot pedal for using the blowing.
7. Maintenance
Make sure that the covers of the table and the ironing buck remain clean, in order to
have high performance of suction and blowing air. Wash the blue polyester fabric and
the foam blue once per week in the washing machine (30-40 οC).In case you use felt
molletone instead of blue foam, do not wash it in the washing machine, but wash it
on hand. Replace them regularly, in order to keep high suction and blowing
performance.
Clean the dust of the fan wheel /impeller at least 2-3 times per year.
Clean periodically and grease the arm’s as well as the buck’s bearings.
Clean periodically the internal parts of the table as well as the electronic circuit by
using compressed air.
