This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved
Children shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless
continuously supervised.
The machine is not to be used if industrial chemicals have
been used for cleaning.
Do not dry unwashed items in the machine.
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking
oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot
water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in
the machine.

Safety Precautions
WARNING. Never stop the machine before the end of the
drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread
out so that the heat is dissipated.
Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the back
flow of gases into the room for appliances burning other fuels,
including open fires.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used
for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other
fuels.
The machine must not be installed behind a lockable door, a
sliding door or a door with a hinge on the opposite side to that
of the machine in such a way that a full opening of the machine
is restricted.
If the machine has a lint trap this has to be cleaned frequently.
The lint must not be accumulated around the machine.
DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.
Servicing shall be carried out only by authorized personnel.
Only authorized spare parts shall be used.
When performing service or replacing parts, the power must
be disconnected.
In accordance with the wiring rules: mount a multi-pole switch
prior to the machine to facilitate installation and service
operations.

6Safety Precautions
Gas heated tumble dryer:
Before installation, check that the local distribution conditions,
nature of gas and pressure and the adjustment of the
appliance are compatible.
The machine is not to be installed in rooms containing cleaning
machines with perchloroethylene, TRICHLOROETHYLENE or
CHLOROFLUOROCONTAINING HYDROCARBONS as cleaning
agents.
CAUTION: This appliance shall not be installed where the
public has access.
If you can smell gas:
• Do not switch on any equipment
• Do not use electrical switches
• Do not use telephones in the building
• Evacuate the room, building or area
• Contact the person responsible for the machine
In order to prevent damage to the electronics (and other parts) that may occur as
the result of condensation, the machine should be placed in room temperature for 24
hours before being used for the first time.

done as easily as possible by the user and the
service technician alike.
The distance to the wall or other equipment be-
hind the dryer should be min. 500 mm.
However, there should be free access to the
back of the dryer for the purpose of servicing it.

Setup
Dryer with tilting function
Before installing the dryer follow the tilt installation manual.
Flexible piping connection, gas heated dryers
Due to the tilting function gas pipe A must end 30 cm before the dryer and
the last piece of it must be flexible eg. an approved 60 cm gas hose.
Flexible piping connection, steam heated dryers
Due to the tilting function the steam hoses must have an excessive length
of 30 cm.
Outlet duct, all heating types
Due to the tilting function the outlet duct B must have a flexible hose 20
cm before the dryer.

Installation
Mechanical installation
Adjust the dryer to ensure that it is horizontal
and stands firmly on all four feet (the height
adjustment must be as low as possible).
The maximum height adjustment of the feet is
70 mm and is only to be used cautiously while
removing lifting truck or fork truck.
Heating unit
The heating unit is to be mounted on top of the
dryer.
During transport the top plate for the heating unit
is placed on top of the dryer.
Equally during transport the two side panels and
the bracing bar A are placed in the back of the
dryer.
See the installation manual for the heating unit.
Transportation fittings
During transport the transmission is secured.
Remove the transportation securing B by cutting
the strips.

Exhaust system
Air principle
The blower creates low pressure in the dryer,
drawing air into the cylinder via the heating unit.
The heated air passes through the garments and
the cylinder vents.
The air then flows out through a lint filter positio-
ned immediately below the drum. After this, the
air is evacuated through the blower and exhaust
system.
It is very important that the dryer gets enough
fresh air, see next section.
Fresh-air
For maximum efficiency and the shortest pos-
sible drying time, it is important to ensure that
fresh air is able to enter the room from the out-
side in the same volume as that blown out of the
room.
To avoid a draught in the room, it is advisable to
place the air inlet behind the dryer.
The area* of the air inlet opening must be 5 times
the size of the exhaust pipe area.
See table on the following page.
The resistance in the grating/slats on the air inlet
cover plate should not exceed 10 Pa
(0.1 mbar).
Note! Gratings/slatted covers often block half of
the total fresh air vent area. Remember to take
this into account.
*The area of the inlet opening is the area through
which the air can flow without resistance from
grating/slatted cover.

Exhaust duct
It applies to the exhaust duct that:
• The exhaust duct must be smooth on the inside (low air resistance).
• The exhaust duct must lead into the open.
• The exhaust duct must lead clear of the building as condensation may
cause frost damage to the building.
• The exhaust duct must be protected against rain and foreign objects.
• The exhaust duct must have gentle bends.
It applies to the installation of several dryers on a shared exhaust duct
that:
• The exhaust duct diameter must increase after each dryer.
The table below shows the exhaust duct diameter and the necessary
fresh-air inlet area.
• The exhaust duct must have a nonreturn flap after each dryer.
Note! It is recommended that each dryer is connected to a separate
exhaust duct.
The exhaust duct diameter must not be reduced.
