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.
