4.2 Replacing the guide bands
Guide bands are used to prevent the laundry from wrapping around the pressing roller.
Therefore regular checks should be made to make sure that there are no missing guide bands.
Their presence is essential.
The guide band reference is 12156329 (supplied per metre).
Guide bands placed along the
entire length of the machine.
To access the guide bands, remove the top panel.
The bands should be secured using stainless steel staples and should not be tied using knots
(this could mark the laundry). They should not be mounted taut but slightly flexible because
with the effect of heat, the band shrinks and may break quickly. It is essential not to stretch
them, as this would cause them to break prematurely.
4.3 Extended stoppage and paraffin coating
To prevent cylinder corrosion, especially in the case of a prolonged stoppage (over 1 week),
the cylinder must be coated in paraffin; to do this, proceed as follows:
•
Machine stopped, cylinder slightly hot (between 110°C and 100°C in regulation or
cooling phase)
•
Raise the top panels.
Rotate the cylinder at reduced speed.
•
•
Coat the cylinder surface with paraffin wax in successive passes so as to coat the entire
cylinder surface area.
