OPERATING
HANDBOOK
Precaution for use
• The machine should not be used by children.
• This ironer must be used exclusively for textiles appropriate for machine ironing, which
have been previously and exclusively washed in water.
• Blankets should not be ironed.
• Be careful with synthetic linen and also with printed linen. They can melt and stick on the
cylinder.
• Do not iron articles that contain plastic, foam, sponge rubber or similarly textured rubberlike materials.
• Do not iron linens coated with solvent, paint, wax, grease or any easily infl ammable pro-
ducts.
OPERATING
HANDBOOK
You should have found an instruction handbook and keys to open the machine casings, and
a maintenance poster to display in your laundry, inside your machine.
Depending on its destination, the dryer ironer is delivered bare or may be placed on a transport pallet and/or packed with plastic fi lm.
In some cases, it may be delivered in maritime packing (wood crate).
Please refer to the handling chapter in this instruction handbook for a description of handling
operations.

Before any use, it is compulsory to read the instruction handbook.
Users must have learnt how to the machine operates.
The identifi cation plate is situated on the left side.
This machine should be installed in conformance to the health and safety regulations, and only used in a suffi ciently aerated area.
Check the instructions before installing or using the machine.
01106073
The machines described in this hanbook have a ironing capacity of 190, 210, 250, 280, 320
cm wide depending on the type. They are available with steam, electric, gas or thermal fl uide
heating.
A version of the machine with a fully automatic folding system enables one or two persons to
dry, iron and fold sheets longitudinally.
Another version with a mechanical system allows the washing to come out at the back of the
machine.
The ironing speed is adjustable as a function of the density (weight/m²) and humidity of the
washing.

OPERATING
HANDBOOK
The electrically heated dryers-ironers can be equipped with a temperature regulation system
for the heating cylinder using circulating heat. Machines fi tted with a Dubixium cylinder have
a normal electric heating device.
This system provides an excellent tool to optimise the performance of the dryer-ironer for
those clients who mainly carry out staggered ironing. It prevents suddenly heating cut-outs
caused by partial use of the whole length of the machine (Patent No. 9608471).
The unused calories on the sides of the cylinder are redistributed towards the centre, where
the demand is greatest (please see the diagram below).
In this way, it is possible to limit the rise in temperature on the sides of the cylinder and the
fall in temperature in the centre of the cylinder.

We draw your attention on the following practices. they will have consequences on the quality of your
f nished items and can, in some cases, void the warrantly of your ironer.
RECOMMANDATIONS
AND WARNINGS
REGARDING
Multi layer items :
Worn polycotton Sheets
(cotton washed away) :
Large items
DESCRIPTIONS
(why ant what are the consequences)
sheets folded in two layers and more will be much
longer to dry. A double layer sheet will be longer to dry
than twice the time of a single layer.
The several layers of a sheet may slide against one
another depending on their material and quality. The
consequences can be a poor ironing quality (wrinkles),
will be a poor quality length foldingand most probably
an impossible cross-folding.
Polyester-cotton blended sheets have got a limited lifetime that needs to be considered. Old sheets will have
no cotton left after a certain amount of washes.
The consequences of ironing them on an ironer are :
- Increased electro-static unbearable by the machine
even if this one is equiped with an anti-static bar.
Sheets will stick to parts of the machine creating jams
and disrupting the length folding.
- Photocells may not detect the presence of the sheets,
also disrupting length folding.
Your machine cannot automatically feed items wider
than its width,
For an IC4 4819 the maximum width is : 1910 mm
For an IC4 4821 the maximum width is : 2120 mm
For an IC4 4825 the maximum width is : 2540 mm
For an IC4 4828 the maximum width is : 2750 mm
For an IC4 4832 the maximum width is : 3170 mm

Size of items in general
Your machine cannot fold items longer than 3
meters
Your ironer will deliver optimum results when processing items which width is closest to the maximum
acceptable width.
Processing smaller items will alter the performance
of your ironer. In such cases, it's preferable to operate
your ironer in manual mode.
Example of sheets of 1.80 x 2.80m processed on an
IC44825FLF or FFS Gas or Electric heated:
They will have to be fed by the 1.80m width (2.80m
being wider than the machine can feed). The automatic feeding will feed in the middle of the machine leaving 37cm on either side of each sheet. This practice
will quickly lead to an overheating of the sides of the
cylinder and dramatically reduce the production of the
ironer.
You may delay the overheating of sides of the cylinder
by alternating the side through which you feed the
items.
You should always seek to use the maximum width of
your ironer.

AND WARNINGS
REGARDING
Size of items for
automatic feeding
Size of items for
automatic folding
Thick items
Thin items
Particular items
Inappropriate materials
DESCRIPTIONS
(why ant what are the consequences)
The minimum size of items to be automatically Length
Folded is 90cm. Smaller sizes will be systematically
dropped or rejected if ironed in folding mode. Note
that it is highly recommended not to automatically
feed items that are much smaller than the width of the
ironer. See "Size of items in general"
The minimum size for items to be automatically cross
Folded is 110. Smaller sizes will be systematically
rejected to the rear of the FFS ironer.
Thick fabrics may lead to very thick folded items
depending on your choice of folding patern. The maximum thickness acceptable by the cross folding unit
is 40mm for the second cross fold and 80mm for the
third cross fold.
You can modify this thickness by modulating the
length folding patern and/or cancelling the third cross
fold (on IC44825FFS or IC44832FFS). Please refer to
the programming manual.
Thin and light fabrics (below 80 gr/m²) may cause
disruption in the length folding and not allow optimum
quality of folding. They may also jam. You can iron
them with precaution.
Your ironer is designed to process f atwork only, such
as sheets, duvet covers, pillow cases, table cloths and
napkins. Any other items may cause malfunctions of
your ironer and may void your warranty. If you are
unsure, refer to your nearest Elecrolux Professional
distributor for advise.
Your ironer is not designed for processing the following items :
- Padded covers : they are too thick and of inapro-
priate material
- Terrycloth : it must be tumble dried. Ironing them
will make them very rough.
- Fitted sheets : elastics may deteriorate following
exposure to excessive heat and possibly melt. Depending on their shape and material, they may be ironed if
fed into the ironer with elastics facing upward so that
they are not in direct contact with the cylinder. In no
case they must be automatically fed as the elastics will
greatly disrupt the feeding. They cannot be automatically folded for the same reason.
- Garments : they are of complex shape (not f at) and
must be ironed with appropriate f nishing equipment.
- Aprons : they are often f at but feature cords and
strings that will jam into moving parts of your ironer.
- Shower curtains : their material will not sustain the
heat and they will melt on the cylinder.
Your ironer is designed to safely process cotton, polyester-cotton and f ax. For any other material, please
refer to your linen supplier and you nearest Electrolux
Professional distributor.

REGARDING
Ironer maintenance
Reject ratio
PlivitTM Length Folding
DESCRIPTIONS
(why ant what are the consequences)
Your ironer is designed to run 8 hours without interruption. Every 8 hours and at other set intervals there
are a number of required maintenance operations to
be performed by yourself or your service engineer. It
is critical that you strictly follow these requirements
for your ironer to run properly. Please refer to chapter
"Preventive maintenance" of this manual. Should you
run your ironer for more than one shift, you must ensure that these maintenance operations are performed
between shifts.
In addition to these maintenance operations, your
ironer should be stopped, cooled and shut down for at
least one hour every 24 hours.
Because faltwork is only f at and rectangle the day you
buy it and then rapidly changes shape and charateristcs
after each wash, it is normal that 4% to 5% are rejected
by the machine.
Note that the quality of feeding will inf uence the
quality of folding. Items may be rejected because they
have not been fed properly. Static electricity and dirty
photocells will also interfere with the performance of
your ironer. Refer to "Preventive maintenance" chapter
of this manual.

Buttons on Duvet covers
In order to obtain consistent sizes of folded items, sorting f atwork per size before ironing is paramount.
Some duvet covers feature various types of fasteners
that can be buttons, velcro, in plastic, metal or wood
etc… These duvet covers may be ironed making sure
that fasteners are facing up on the feeding table. The
drying in the area of the fasteners will be longer than
the rest of the duvet cover. This is normal due to the
multi-layer of textile in this area and its complex
shape. Lying these layers f at on the feeding table will
help with a more homogeneous drying.
Note that if the thickness of the duvet cover plus the
buttons/fasteners is greater than 8mm, it may interfere
with the f nger guard protection of your ironer and
stop it. This f nger guard is a safety device to protect
operators getting their f ngers caught and driven into
the ironer.

Lenght of fold
This screen enables to manually select the fold length
while folding.
Before feeding in a sheet, choose the desired fold
length according to the length of the sheet.
To calculate the length of the folds, you should
measure the length of the sheet and then estimate a
fold length, bearing in mind that you should always
divide by an even number of folds (minimum four).
an example :
• Sample values : for a sheet of 240 cm, we obtain
6 folds of 40 cm or 8 folds of 30 cm. On the other
hand, it is not possible to have 4 folds of 60 cm.
After an initial trial, you should then fi ne-tune the
folding function by increasing or reducing the fold
length: for example by increasing an initial fold value
of 40 cm to 41 cm or reducing it to 39 cm.
The fold length can be adjusted from 20 to 48 cm per

Additional instructions to optimise a dryer-ironer.
When ironing small sheets or small washing, pass abreast the washing of the heating cylinder 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 diffi culties 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 metallic sparts.
- a partial use of the ironing lenght of the cylinder : creating overheating (be carreful
especially, to the risk for the polycotton sheets to loose their shape, generally stabilised 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 iro-
ned.
The productivity and quality of ironing / folding depend on the washing quality ; make sure
that all these conditions are satisfi ed.
3. Method of use
OPERATING
HANDBOOK
• We recommend as far as possible, that you should feed pieces of fl at washing (towels,
sheets, etc.) by their hem, with the seam facing top, to obtain maximum ironing quality.
• Carefully engage the washing to be ironed, because it is impossible to disengage a badly
engaged washing.
• Allow 10 cm between washing to be ironed when using a machine with an automatic folding system
• Do not iron washing folded in four, because it will be too thick to achieve the
drying/ironing/folding quality that you are entitled to expect from your machine.
• If possible, use the entire ironing width of the dryer ironer.
CAUTION
Do not push small pieces of laundry in
front of the DIAMMS turners to avoid
jamming.

Practices to avoid
• Make sure that the width of the washing does not exceed the useful width of the machine.
• Linen units under 0,90 m (machine with the automatic folding or/and feeding option).
• Sizes not fi tting the cylinder working length, partial use of the cylinder.
• Draw-sheets or any other double-layer sheet or sheet pulled into the machine
side by side.
Practices not recommended
• Folding of tableclothes (of poor quality).
• Folding of tablesclothes (of poor quality).
• Worn polycotton sheets (cotton worn away) : uneven fi nish look when folded, high static
electricity.
Page
3
• Large cotton or fl ax-made sheets > 200 g/m².
Cautions
• Prepare the large sheets before feeding : ironing and longitudinal folding defects.
• 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 (machine with automatic feeding).
In all cases, you should ensure that the folding characteristics are respected.

Safety devices
Feed safety device
The space between the feed safety fl ap and the drive bands is too small for you to enter your
fi ngers. The machine stops automatically as soon as the fl ap 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
You will not be able to restart the machine after it has stopped (power failure, emergency
stop, action on the feed safety device), until you have pressed one of the keys on the control
panel.
Gas heating
The gas burner is ignited and the fl ame is controlled by an electronic box that provides inte-
gral safety, for example if the fl ue draft is poor or if the gas supply is cut off.
An message on the control panel shows that the system has been put in a safe condition.
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.
If the temperature is not reached after a given time, the heating command is deactivated.
The operation of the heating function is linked to the rotation of the cylinder. If the cylinder
should stop rotating for any reason, the machine stops heating.
A safety thermostat, which is independent of all electronic systems, limits the heating temperature of the ironing cylinder in all circumstances, (except in the case of a steam heating
machine).
Power supply failure
If there is a mains power supply failure, use the handle to remove any washing engaged in
the machine. If the temperature is too high, use the handle to feed some wet washing and
protect the ironing bands.

Ironing Temperature Display
The control enclosure includes an electronic thermostat panel which shows in real time the

The use of steam heating machines.
Steam heating machines are designed to operate only using dry saturated steam at a maximum pressure of 1000 kPa (10 bar). You should take care not to exceed this limit in order to
avoid premature damage to pressurised components.
Each time the machine cools down, water vapour is inevitably created. The use of dry saturated steam reduces the risk of erosion and corrosion of the tubes and pressurised components.
There is a risk of deformation, cracking and bursting if pressure levels are used which exceed the recommended 1000 kPa (10 bar). Check that the safety valve operates correctly in
order to avoid the risks of excess pressure building up.
Fire-related risks.
Should a fi re breakout inside the machine, it is recommended that you use a CO2 extin-
guisher.
Note : in the case of a machine using gas heating, it is strictly forbidden to attempt to put
out the fi re before having fi rst turned off the gas inlet valve.
The client must ensure conformity with the Labour Code and his supplier of fi re-fi ghting equi-
pment who issues the Q4 certifi cate to him.
Repair and maintenance work on the machine.
All work on the machine must be carried out by qualifi ed personnel, able to carry out the work
required.
Ensure that the applicable safety conditions for the destination country are fully observed.

Static electricity makes the folding diffi cult to achieve (machine with the folding
system only)
Synthetic textiles are used increasingly in laundry. The low rate of relative moisture on
•
output from drying allows high ironing speeds, which leads to production of harmful static
electricity when the linen is ironed in the machine.
• Use of softening and anti-static products attenuates this phenomenon.
• So, static electricity might cause important diffi culties at folding, especially when ironing
polyester/cotton. It si adviced to add a rincing anti-static liquid at the end of washing cycle
in order to reduce the formation of static elecricity when ironing.
Static electricity
Any friction generates static electricity. Remember the plastic ruler people rub over their
•
pullover to attract little bits of paper. With the same causes producing the same effects,
the linen being subjected to friction in the course of ironing, the rubbing of the linen
against the cylinder generates static electricity. If too much static electricity builds up,
friction has to be reduced, which can be done by removing the driving chain of the presscylinder to reduce the generation of static electricity.

Linen colouring
The brown coloring is due to detergent residues, and will disappear at the next washing.
•
• Colouring caused by the temperature being too high is permanent. Reduce the ironing
temperature or increase the ironing speed.
• The washing should be correctly rinsed so that it does not turn yellow and does not make
the cylinder dirty.
- Check the quality of the washing water (TH/TAC).
- Check the washing and rinsing cycles (see "phenolphthalein" operating incidents).
- Check incrustation of the washing (ash content).
The feed bands are not turning
This type of incident is normal when it only affects a few bands.
•
When washing will not engage any more, adjust the tension of all the bands by changing
the setting of the feed table bearings.
Do not overtighten the bands.
The band must stop turning when you press on it with your fi nger. It must start again
when you remove your fi nger.

Complementary instructions for starting up a machine with gas heating.
The message "Error Gas Ignition" is fl ashing on display screen during 30 seconds to show
that the gas burner is being ignited. If this message is still displayed after 6 seconds, there
may be an ignition fault, a failure in gas valve opening or a lack of gas.
Switch the machine off and call your local repairman if this occurs regularly.
About 10 minutes is necessary to warm up.
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 noise at the inter-ignition is not an explosion. It is a normal phenomenon.
Complementary instructions for starting up a machine with steam heating.
Note : do not forget to open the by-pass or the condensate return valve for about a minute
to purge the pipes so that the cylinders can warm up more quickly; do this before starting to
switch on the machine. Close it afterwards.
Slowly open the steam inlet valve and check the temperature on the control display panel.
