and that no circuits or containers are under pressure.
Check that all the machine’s moving parts are halted or in their rest position. Securely fix all the
machine’s moving parts that could cause an accident.
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
COMPLETELY disconnect the machine from the mains power supply and take steps to prevent
accidental reconnection. TURNING OFF THE ON SWITCH OR PRESSING THE STOP KEY IS NOT
ENOUGH.
Disconnect the electrical connection of any circuit external to the machine; for example external dosing
equipment, central vending units, linen feeders or folders, etc. The electrical connection for these circuits
is independent of the machine’s electrical connection.
To prevent the risk of electrical discharge caused by residual voltage, wait at least five minutes before
removing any guard or cover from the machine.
Failure to follow these warnings may cause a serious accident.
31. CONTACT the Installation Contractors or the Authorised Technical Service (see Notes 3 and 2) in the event

Technical Service or by a representative of the customer present at the start-up who is familiar with the operation of the machine and is
authorised to use it.
(2) Authorised Technical Service (ATS) is one that has been recognised under contract and properly trained by the manufacturer.
(3) Registered Installation Contractors are those officially approved by the government of the country the machine is to be installed.
(4) Customer Technical Service (CTS) is one that has been authorised by the customer and which has sufficient basic technical knowledge
to correctly interpret and carry out the actions attributed to it in this manual. The manufacturer strongly recommends that the customer
should have its own technical service, particularly in laundries with large-scale machinery installations.

Safety instructions 8
Code no. 576017
Rev. no. 02/0415
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND PRESERVATION
1. INTENDED USE OF THE MACHINE AND INAPPROPRIATE USE. This machine is designed and intended
solely for processing fabrics washed in a water bath or that have been previously treated in these
conditions. Any use other than this is contraindicated without written authorisation from the manufacturer.
2. Maximum output, performance, reliability and durability are achieved when the machine is installed, used
and maintained correctly, and if a comprehensive and detailed service is carried out annually by the
Authorised Technical Service.
3. The machine’s MATERIALS that are in direct contact with the chemical products involved in treating the
linen are detailed in the manual.
4. The user must consult the supplier of the chemical products USED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE LINEN
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
can be found on the specification nameplate incorporated into the machine.
With every machine, the manufacturer provides all the necessary technical information and documents required
for its use. KEEP IT IN GOOD CONDITION.

CAUTION!
COIN-OP FACILITIES MUST BE DESIGNED SO THAT THE MACHINE CAN BE USED SAFELY, PROVIDING
AN ERGONOMICALLY CORRECT EXECUTION OF THE LOADING AND UNLOADING OPERATIONS, AS
WELL AS EASY ACCESS TO SUPERVISORY BODIES.
Further information about the heights of the work stations can be found in the corresponding
installation instructions Manual.
THE OWNER OR MANAGER OF THE ESTABLISHMENT MUST INSTRUCT USERS ON THE CORRECT
USE OF THE MACHINES, THE CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR USE AND THE RISKS THAT CAN ARISE
FROM INAPPROPRIATE USE.
CAUTION!
APPROPRIATE USE:
THIS MACHINE HAS BEEN CONCEIVED AND DESIGNED FOR THE INDUSTRIAL DRYING OF LAUNDRY
ITEMS WASHED IN WATER FREE FROM INFLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE PRODUCTS. ANY USE OTHER
THAN DESCRIBED, CARRIED OUT WITHOUT WRITTEN AUTHORISATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER,
WILL BE TAKEN AS INAPPROPRIATE TO THE TERMS OF USE.

Prior information 10
Code no. 576017
Rev. no. 02/0415
CAUTION!
INADVISABLE USE
It is totally prohibited to:
Operate the machine without the covers and guards correctly in place and secured.
Dry linen that has been previously treated or washed in petrol, dry cleaning solvents or other flammable or
explosive substances. These substances GIVE OFF VAPOURS that could ignite or explode.
Iron fabrics or fibres at temperatures above those recommended by the manufacturer of the material.
Dry articles of linen containing components unable to withstand the drying temperatures.
Disconnect the power supply until the cooling-down cycle has fully completed, EXCEPT IN AN
EMERGENCY.
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.
DANGER!
SPECIFIC WARNINGS IN PROCESSES FOR DRYING MOPS
Some chemicals used in cleaning processes with mops are inflammable and are not easily removed during the
washing of mops.
For this reason it is advisable to:
Never dry mops that have not previously been washed in a water bath.
Ensure that the processes of washing mops completely eliminates the residual chemicals that they are
impregnated with.
