TREATMENT PROCESS regarding the risks associated with its products and their combination. It must be
confirmed that the products are not flammable, ARE MUTUALLY COMPATIBLE, and that they will not
cause oxidisation or deterioration of the machine or any injury to the people using them.
It should be noted that, under certain conditions of use, hypochlorite (bleach) generates chlorine gas.
Chlorine is a corrosive, oxidising substance which, at high concentrations and temperatures, damages
stainless steel and elastomers.
This same effect can also be caused by other strongly oxidising agents, including ozone.
5. FOLLOW the treatment recommendations for each fabric indicated by its manufacturer. THE
MANUFACTURER OF THE MACHINE accepts no responsibility for damage caused by inappropriate
treatment of a fabric.
6. Periodically CLEAN the outside of the machine to prevent damage to its metal parts. This will improve
safety and extend its life. To clean the machine, use water and detergent. Rinse with a damp cloth and
then dry off. To remove accumulated lint, use a suitable vacuum cleaner. Water jet or pressurised steam
cleaning is prohibited.
7. NEVER use aggressive products to clean the machine or the premises. There are products on the market
that give off highly corrosive vapours.
8. If the machine is left idle for long periods of time, it must be thoroughly PROTECTED from humidity and
temperature variations.
9. Faults arising from improper machine operation may VOID THE WARRANTY.
10. When asking for information on your machine, MENTION the model and serial number. This information

IMPORTANT WARNINGS
It is important to advise users on the following safety points.
The machine should not be used without covers or guards being fitted, or if any indication of faults,
deterioration or malfunction is detected.
The use of appropriate clothing is recommended, avoiding very loose items of clothing that might get
caught.
Jewellery or accessories worn on the hands, arms, neck, etc. should be avoided.
DANGER!
RISK OF SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
Because of the temperature of the linen, there is a potential risk of spontaneous combustion of the laundry load
inside the dryer.
To avoid the risk of spontaneous combustion, it is very important to follow these instructions:
Finish off drying programs with the cooling phase and do not remove the load until the cycle is completely
finished.
Once the drying cycle has finished or in situations where there is a power failure, remove the linen quickly
from inside the dryer.
Do not allow lint to accumulate in critical areas of the machine. Lint is readily flammable.
No washing machine can completely remove oils from fabrics. Never dry articles of linen that are stained
with oil. Never dry articles of linen containing rubber. Use the dryer ONLY to dry fabrics washed in water.
DANGER!
SPECIFIC WARNING FOR ELECTRIC-HEATED DRYERS
If the machine is at a high temperature and the fan stops or the power supply is disconnected, the heat
accumulated in the heater box is released through the grille in the top cover as hot air. Therefore:
This ventilation grille must not be obstructed.
Do not place any object or substance on this cover.
Do not touch the dryer’s top cover.
DANGER!
SPECIFIC WARNINGS FOR GAS-HEATED DRYERS
When stopping the machine, always shut off the manual gas stopcock. Always turn off the gas heating before
stopping the machine.

The increase will be proportional to the number of tokens inserted or the amount paid.
To enable this feature, the +min option in Sections 7.1.2 and 7.1.3 needs to be activated.
See also the COUNT OVERPAYMENT option in the OPTIONS menu (Section 7.1.2).
4.5. End of the cycle
Once the cooling stage has ended, the machine informs the user of
the end of the drying cycle acoustically and on screen.
Precautions at the end of the drying cycle.
N.B. It is very important:
To remove the linen from inside the dryer without delay. This will
prevent creases in the fabric and reduce the risk of spontaneous
combustion.
To clean the lint filter on a regular basis. Lint prevents extraction
and reduces the performance of the dryer. Use the indication for
periodic cleaning of the lint filter in the General Settings
Configuration menu (Section 7.1.1). Further information about
cleaning the filter can be found in Chapter 11.
Do not cancel the cooling-down phase.
