4. Installation
1. Unload the machine as described.
See: 1. Handling the machine
The ironing machine is best moved with a manual pallet truck.
The ironing machine must be positioned perfectly level.
For the purposes of service and maintenance work, a space of at least 50 cm must be left to
the right and left and behind the machine.
The walls through which the air exhaust pipe runs to the outside must be made of a non-
flammable material.
The ironing machine must have sufficient air supply (approx. 1200 m³/h).
(Insufficient supply of fresh air can lead to overheating)

2. Remove all packaging materials such as plastic and cardboard from the machine and clean
the ironing beds before allowing the machine to warm up.
Do not use any explosive products.

Packaging material
See also supplied drawings!

14
3. Remove the wooden skids from under the machine and position the machine so it is level.

Remove wooden skids

4. Remove the lifting pieces.

Lifting eye bolts

Screw the supplied plugs

into the lifting holes.

5. Electrical connection

Compare the type of mains and mains voltage with the data on the machine and bear the
guidelines in mind.
It is important for the electrical connection to be set up by a technical specialist to ensure
that the installation complies with the standards and guidelines that apply where the
machine is installed.
The selected mains connection must have a nominal cross-section that matches the nominal
electrical load specified on the ironing machine.
The ironing machine must be earthed to ensure proper operation and safety.
The connecting cable must be fed in via the connector in the frame containing the electrical
connection box.
The connection cable can be connected to the main switch (L1-L2-L3-Earth-Neutral) in the
left-hand from containing the electrical connection box.

Connection for electrical cable:

See chapter 3.1 – 3.2 – 3.3 – 3.4
“Technical data and dimensions”

When the connection cable is connected, the main switch can be moved to position 1 and
the direction of movement of the motors must be checked (to prevent damage).

15
6. Gas connection

Compare the type of gas (natural gas, propane) with the data on the machine and bear the
guidelines in mind.
It is important for the gas connections to be set up by an approved specialist to ensure that
the installation complies with the standards and guidelines that apply where the machine is
installed.
The gas connected must correspond to the type of gas specified on the machine plate.
The gas pressure for natural gas and propane must be between 20 m/bar and 120 m/bar. If
the pressure exceeds 120 m/bar, a gas pressure regulator must be installed upstream of the
connection tap.
Also consider the diameter of the gas pipe. The machine connection is ½” for 370 and 500
models and ¾” for 600 and 800 models.
If the distance between the gas meter and the machine is over 10 metres, the use of a gas
pipe with a larger diameter is recommended (e.g. 1" instead of ½”)

Gas connection: ¾”
Model 600 - 800
Gas connection: ½”
Model 370 - 500

7. Connect the gas and steam outlet.

The gas and steam outlet are on the back right and have the following connections:
gas outlet: Mod. 370 – 500: diameter 90 mm Mod. 600 – 800: diameter 120 mm
steam outlet: diameter 75 mm diameter 120 mm

Gas boiler exhaust

Ironing roll exhaust

The gas and steam outlet must be completely separate by law to prevent the risk of fire.
The gas outlet should be a heat-resistant stainless steel pipe ( 250°).
The steam outlet should consist of a heat-resistant pipe (150°).
In order to achieve proper operation, this pipe must always be kept as short as possible and
must have as few bends as possible.
If an outlet channel joins a main channel, the angle of incidence must not exceed 45°.
If the distance from the outlet channel is greater than 5 metres, a series fan must be installed
further down the outlet channel or the section of the pipe must be increased!
e.g. 125 mm instead of 75 mm.
Insulate both the gas and steam outlet pipes to prevent fire.

Note:

16
Failure to comply with the installation guidelines may lead to counter-pressure in the outlet
channel which will impair output and quality.

8. When the machine is completely connected, open the gas tap and check the machine for
leaks. When starting up on site, the gas burner should be reset by an approved or authorised
person.

9. Install the bench horizontally at the back of the machine.

Undo bolts and rotate bench 90° so that you can

screw the same bolt back in and place the bench
flat (spirit level). Then tighten both bolts well.

Dismantle the protective plate at the back.

Allow the machine to warm up (adjust the temperature setting to 175°) and press start and at
the same time press against the finger guard so that the bed closes and the roll does not turn.
Loosen the tensioning screws and adjust the distance between the bed and bench so that they
are 2 mm apart. Then tighten the tensioning screws again.

Tensioning screws at the Distance between bed and

bottom of the bench bench 2 mm

Fit and secure the protective plate.

17
10. Install the supplied foot pedal (optional).

Position the
footplate on the
red frame.

11. Tension the padding around the roll as described later in the manual.

12. The machine is now ready for use.

The heating system must be fully bled the first time the machine is warmed up.
This bleeding is done by removing the existing teflon hose.
There is another supplied hose at the top of the machine.
Fit this where the other hose was removed and take a metal bucket and put the hose into the
bottom of the bucket so the moisture can be captured.
Once the machine has warmed up, the supplied hose can be removed again and the existing
teflon hose replaced.

5.Tensioning of the roll padding
Only with 3000g/m² padding!

Note: Do not turn the roll in the cold ironing bed.

Do not turn the roll in the ironing bed unless it has been tensioned.

19
4. Open the ironing bed and adjust the pressure. See drawing. "Adjust ironing bed pressure"

5. Wrap a sheet around the ironing roll.

Push the ironing bed against the roll again and turn for 15 minutes.
During turning, put some paraffin or wax at the entrance between the bed and roll.
Open the ironing bed again and remove the sheet.

6. Adjust the scrapers according to the drawing. "Adjust scrapers."

Note: If the padding gets loose while ironing (no longer fully tensioned against the roll), stop
the roll.
Open the ironing bed and turn the loose part of the padding towards the ironing bed.
Push the ironing bed against the roll again for 15 minutes.

Do not turn the roll.

7. Check the scrapers regularly during the first weeks.

Changes in the shape of the padding may cause the scrapers to lose contact with the
padding.
These should then be adjusted.

Important: If the wire with which the padding is stitched becomes exposed, it must be
pulled back into the padding or the padding must be replaced.
Continuing ironing involves a serious risk of severe damage to the ironing
bed.

6.General
- The service life of an ironing machine with a steel ironing bed is approximately 15 years
with normal maintenance.
This is an estimate.
It is not binding.
No compensation may be claimed for a shorter service life.

- Noise level: 40-45 dba depending on speed.

- Take account of all safety regulations.

Abnormal use

- Ironing items that are not flat.

- Allowing the machine to run empty (without feeding linen).
- Temperatures in excess of 185°.
- Cleaning the beds with hard materials (can cause irreparable damage).
- Working without taking safety precautions.
- Failure to comply with safety regulations.

21
7.3 Continued risks with the machine - measures to take

- All pipes outside the machine for the roll exhaust, combustion gas, pose a real risk
of burns.
For this reason, all these pipes must be properly insulated and protected against
direct contact.

- Staff using the machine must be trained in how to handle emergency situations e.g.
how to free someone who is trapped, what to do in the event of a fire, breakdown of
the machine etc.

- The hot linen emerging from the machine can cause burns.
For this reason, it is necessary to wear personal protection such as gloves when
handling the linen.

- As far as possible, non-flammable materials have been used in the design of the
machine.
However, flammable materials will still always be present in the form of the padding,
feed bands and the oil in the machine.
However, the greatest risk is posed by dust.
Under certain conditions, dust can create a highly explosive mixture.
Therefore it is essential to clean the machine regularly.
Also create an equipotential link so that no potential differences arise between the
machine and the surrounding metal structures to prevent sparkover.

9.1 Operating instructions

First: - Press all the motor switches (E2, E3 and E5) in the electrical connection box.
- Perform the daily checks as described.
- Fit the Plexiglass cover to the electrical connection box and set the main switch to
'A1'.

Start: 1. Press push button ‘DKL3’ (green, power), the circulation pump starts to turn, the
burner runs until the machine reaches temperature.
When the machine has reached the set temperature, press the green push button (start).

2. Press push button 'DKL1' (green, start) to start the machine.

The green warning light is illuminated. The ironing bed is pushed against the roll,
the suction starts operation and the roll begins to turn.

DKL3

DKL 1

Stop: 1. Press push button (red) ‘DKL2’, the ironing bed opens and the ironing roll
stops immediately. The machine remains at the set temperature.

DKL 2

Emergency

Note: - When the emergency stop button 'X1' is activated, all the motors and the
burner are deactivated and the ironing bed opens automatically. The machine
can only be restarted by turning the emergency stop button back in a clockwise
direction and pressing push button 'DKL3' again.

- If the finger guard is touched, the roll stops immediately but the temperature
remains constant. A restart is only possible by pressing push button 'DKL1'.

24
 Finger guard

N.B.! When the finger guard is used, the bed remains pressed against the roll. It is therefore
strongly recommended that the roll is turned again or the machine turned off completely as
quickly as possible.

9.2 Additional points

- Run a wax cloth though the ironing machine 2 to 4 times a day to wax the bed. If this is not
done, the bed will glide less smoothly and static electricity may occur, resulting in poor
ironing quality.

- Never leave the roll pressed on the bed unless it is turning. This causes damage to the
padding.

- Clean the ironing bed regularly with a special cleaning cloth (available as an option with the
machine).

18. Replace and adjust tension of feed bands

- Undo the bolts on both sides with a 13 mm spanner.

- Move the guide plate towards the feed roll
- Open the feed bands by removing the lock pin between the
connecting hooks.

- After replacing the feed bands, slide the plate back towards the ironing bed and then
tighten the bolts along both sides.
- The feed plate must be set in such a way that the webs are tensioned and are as close
to the ironing bed as possible.

19. Temperature safety setting

-To set the safety thermostat, first allow the machine to

warm up to temperature (165°C.)
- - Wait for 20 minutes so that the bed is fully up to
temperature.
- - Use a flat-head screwdriver to turn the adjusting
screw slowly to the left until you hear a click. This
click means that the safety thermostat is engaged and
the machine cannot be heated any further.
Then use the flat-head screwdriver to turn the adjusting screw slowly to the right until you can
press the green push button so that the machine can warm up again.
This means that the safety thermostat is set approximately 10°C higher than the actual set
ironing temperature. Iron a few items to check that the safety does not trip.
If the safety thermostat unexpectedly trips while ironing, the linen may be too wet (over 55%
relative humidity) or the speed may be too high.
To restart the machine, press the green push button again.

22. Oil change in reduction gearbox (D500 – D600 – D800)

Note: Switch off the main switch.
Only change oil when the machine is cold.

Undo the screw at the bottom of the reduction

gearbox so that you can drain the oil into a
receptacle.
N.B.: content see 12.3 Oil types

Once the oil has completely drained from the

reduction gearbox, replace the screw at the
bottom and tighten securely!

Unscrew the filling plug at the top and

fill the reduction gearbox with new oil.
Note: oil type GOAYA 220
Content: see 12.3 Oil types
Then replace the filling plug and tighten
securely!

39
23.Thermal oil change

1. Close the stopcock at the bottom of the expansion tank and replace the stopper (for
safety).

Stopcock + stopper

2. Remove the stopper at the top of the expansion tank and fill with new thermal oil while
regularly switching on the circulation pump.
Note: never run the circulation pump without oil!

Oil filling plug at top

3. If the oil pump can run continuously, fill the oil to the specified level.

Oil level cold

4. Allow machine to warm up and check the oil level continuously.

When the machine is filled with new thermal oil, there is always moisture present in
the oil (condensation). To prevent problems, a teflon hose (supplied) must be fitted at
the top of the expansion tank. The quantity of condensation can then be removed
from the system.
Remove existing
teflon hose and fit
supplied hose

Put the supplied teflon hose

in a metal bucket!
Bleed bed Caution - hot!

5. Once it has warmed up, the machine is ready for use.

The supplied teflon hose can then be removed and the existing hose replaced.
Also bleed the bed to ensure that it is completely filled with oil.

40
24. Adjustable suction valve
An adjustable suction valve allows the suction throughput to be regulated so that the roll is
not subject to cold suction but is still dry. The ideal temperature of the roll when the padding
returns to the ironing bed is approximately 40° C.

D370 – D500 (Option)

Valve can be adjusted with

a flat-head screwdriver.

D600 – D800 (Standard)

Valve can be adjusted

41
26.Roll padding replacement
If the ironing machine is delivering reduced output and poorer ironing quality after a period of
time (1 year), this means the padding is worn.
The old padding is easily removed using a reversing switch located in the electrical
connection box.

Remove the cover of the machine.

Set the potentiometer to its lowest position (1)
Remove the linen scrapers.

Set the main switch to position 1 so that the roll turns in

the reverse direction so that the old padding can be
unwound (2 revolutions)

Set the selector switch to position 0 so that the roll

stops.
Take the new padding and secure the front edge evenly
to the ironing bed.

Set the main switch to position 2 so that the roll takes

up the new padding (2 revolutions)
Once the 2 revolutions have been completed, set the
selector switch to 0 to stop the roll.

Once the padding has been taken up, allow the machine
to warm up to temperature and then press the green
start button and turn the roll with the ironing bed closed
for 20 minutes.
Then check that the padding has stayed on the ironing
roll properly.
Switch the machine off and secure the 2 strings at the
side.
Replace the upper plate and the linen scrapers. Put wax
on the cleaning cloth and run it through the ironing
machine once.
The ironing bed is now ready for further use.

42
 ATTENTION!

Before starting up the

machine, check the direction
of rotation of:
- the fan motor
- the hydraulic pump motor
- the circulation pump motor
