Replacing Cylinder Coverings - Electrolux IB42310 User Manual

The bed has to be maintained with care so that the ironing is easy and of good quality.
The removal of detergent or fur deposits should be done as soon as these are prejudicial to the ironing quality.
The use of emery cloth or steel wool is strictly unadvised.
We recommend you to only use a 3M product such as Scotch-Brite Ref. CFR A MEDIUM (Art. no 35003153).
Each day
• Check finger guard operating. This safety device must be checked before each use. If the device is activated, the
cylinder should stop and the bed draw back. Press on the pedal to reactivate the ironing machine.
Every week
• Clean the ventilation grille of the movement motor and fan.
Every 6 months
• To obtain the best ironing results, it is essential that the covering of the cylinder is kept clean and in good condition.
• Wash the cotton cloth with hot water. Replace the cloth slightly damp without ironing it (see next page).
• Check the circumference of the cylinder (see next page). Clean the machine inside and out.
Every year
• Check thermostat operating.
• Check the heating elements, cables and connections.
• Lubricate the transmission chain (see lubrication table).
• The reducer requires no servicing because it is sealed and life-lubricated.
