Safety devices

Accessibility

All of the casings can be dismantled by means of a specially designed tool.

Emergency stop

An "emergency stop" button is provided on the left side and on the stacker.

Restarting the machine

After any stoppage of the machine, either due to power failure, emergency stop, action on
the feed safety device, the machine can only be restarted after having pressed "Valid" key.

Feeding 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.

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.

Protection of motors

The motors have overload protection :
• by thermo-magnetic circuit breakers and
• by the electrical selector (for movement).

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.
There is a thermal fuse for the overheating safety, in the centre of the machines equipped
with a Dubixium cylinder. If it breaks, the heating stops. Contact your dealer to check the
origin of the failure by a qualifi ed technician.

Gas heating

The gas burner is ignited and the fl ame is controlled by an electronic box that provides
integral safety, for example if the fl ue draft is poor or if the gas supply is cut off.
A message on the tactile screen 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
heating function in case of extraction problems.
