Cleaning and care
Leaf-type roller padding
To ensure smooth functioning of the ironer
and high capacity ironing, low servicing and
long life the laminated leaf-type padding
should have the specially made ironer roller
cloth cover fitted.
Note: Only iron articles up to max. 3 mm
thick. Thick knobbly fabrics, high buttons,
curtain weights etc. could damage the leaf-
type padding.
After commissioning
It is advisable approx. 40 operating hours
after commissioning to cut back the overlap of
the ironing cover which has occured through
stretching to about 20 mm overlap and then
to brush out about 15 mm of this using a wire
brush. This is to avoid damp streaks and
shadowing. The roller covering must be the
same thickness along the whole length of the
roller and fit firmly up to the heater plate.
Washing the ironing roller cloth cover
Washing will restore the ironing cover to a sof-
ter and more elastic condition, which
absorbs moisture better, and clear the wax
deposits. It should, however, be washed as
infrequently as possible in a Cottons 95 °C
programme. The cover should be completely
alkali free after the last rinse. Do not treat with
solvent or spin too strongly, to avoid the dan-
ger of creasing.
Removing the ironing cover on rollers with
leaf-type padding
If a new ironing cover is being fitted it
should first be washed in a Cottons 95 °C
programme.
Switch the machine off, the heater plate
withdraws.
When removing and replacing the ironing
cloth cover the hand wheel should be
turned in an anti-clockwise direction as far
as it will go, so that the heater plate drops
right down and cannot rise up again.
Raise the laundry pick-off attachment.
Remove the cloth cover as shown in
phases 2 to 4.
When removing pull slowly and carefully
away from the grippers on the leaf-type
padding.
