inside using a 5mm hexagonal key after the filter
door and the back panel have been opened.
Always check if the floor can bear the machine
weight written in the technical data sheet. The
machine load can be considered very static. To
calculate the dryer static load, the weight of the
wet linen to be loaded must be added to the dryer
net weight. Be sure the floor is clean and high
temperature resistant. For correct machine use,
working and service, leave at least 500 mm free
surface around the dryer.
The room temperature must be between +5ºC and
+40ºC.
Protection class is IPX4.
Relative humidity must be within 5% and 90%
(without condensation)
The room where the machine installed must have
enough incoming air ventilation. Please note: the
machine takes air from the room where it is
installed and expels the humid air from the drying
cycle to the outside.
Sizing the air intakes: refer to national normatives.
Consider a minimum of 9cm2/kW witha a minimum
surface of 150cm2. Remember that grates and
curtains reduce the flow of air.
The dryer must not be installed behind a door,
which can be closed with a key, a sliding door, or
a door with hinges mounted on the opposite side
to the tumble dryer.
Do not install or use a machine if it is damaged.

Processing residues may be found in the
internal side of the drum.
ATTENTION!
In case of tilting machines foresee
necessary spaces to avoid the risk of
crush between the machine and the
elements in the installation room: other
machines, walls, roofs, doors and
windows (opened and closede) etc.
The amount of movement during the
phase of tilting can be founf in the
technical data sheet.
7. INSTALLATION: GAS HEATED MACHINES
SPECIFICATIONS
Independently from the capacity, every gas-
heated machine must be considered as a gas
equipment.
During the installation must be respected the
following rules:
-Territorial building and fire-prevention rules;
-Accident prevention rules;
-CENELEC rules /electric system);
-Rules about the combustible gas use
-Rules about gas system supplied by public
net or LPG gas
-Rules coming from the gas company
-Rules coming from the electricity company
-Other possible local rules.
Air inlet and ventilation openings can be closed
only if the opening condition is controlled and if
the flame of the gas-heated equipment has
opened air inlet and ventilation.
The room must be correctly ventilated, even when
the gas exhaust is mechanically operated, if the
nominal thermal pollution of this gas equipment
does not cause depression in the room. In this
way, a regular gas combustion and the complete
exhaust of the burn gas are guaranteed.
To dimension the air grating, please refer to the
data written on the machine technical sheet and to
the rules in force. In this way, a regular gas
combustion and the complete gas exhaust are
guaranteed.
Air inlet dimensions must comply with the
technical sheet requirements and with the subject
rules in force.
In case the dryer is supplied with liquid gas and is
installed in a basement, forced ventilation system
must be provided.
Data of gas are in paragraph 49.
ATTENTION!
Never install a gas-heated machine in the
same room where there are machines that use
solvents (example: dry cleaning machine).
This combination could produce dangerous
substances for the operator and it can cause
steel corrosion.
If a gas-heated machine and a machine using
solvents are installed in two separate rooms,
be sure that there is no possibility of air
exchange between these two rooms.
ATTENTION!
In case of machine equipped with a tilting
system, the machine must be fixed to the floor
using some screw anchors.
Machine must be installed perfectly
horizontally on a floor without elastic reaction.
ATTENTION!
In case of tilting machines, there are external
parts that move during the linen loading and
unloading steps.
For machine dimensions and machine-
required space during the movement, please
refer to the technical data sheet.

9. ELECTRIC CONNECTION
Electric connections must be carried out by
qualified technicians and must comply with
local and National rules in force. Check if the
supply data corresponds to the data written on
the machine plate. (voltage tollerance ±10%,
frequency tollerance ±1Hz).
To connect the machine use a H05 VV –F cable
or superior and follow the data label and in the
technical data sheet to dimension it correctly.
Install before the machine an omni-polar
disconnecting device with interlocked padlock
(i.e.: a circuit breaker) which has a contact
opening that allows the complete disconnection in
case one of the conditions of the over tension III
category is verified. This device must comply with
the subject regulation in force.
Check the main switch; it must be in position “0”.
Open the electric supply door.
Pass the electric supply cable through the cable
holder supplied with the machine.
Before inserting the supply cable, verifiy that it
makes a dead neck lower than the entrance: in
this way eventual condensation drops, cannot get
in touch with electrical connections.
Electric supply cable connection must be done on
a series of marked terminal.
Following the kind of heating indicated on the
serial number plate, connect the cable to the
terminals, as indicated:
: Ground, color: yellow/green
L1, L2, L3: phase, color: brown
N: neutral, color: blue
In case of installation or replacement of the
supplying cable, the ground cable must be at least
5cm longer than the other cables. The electric
diagram is contained in an envelope, inside the
electric board.
On the back panel there’s an equipotential
born for the connection to be done according
to law,
ATTENTION!
Check the fan rotation direction: it must rotate in
the direction that allows the exhaust air discharge;
it means that the fan motor rotated in the direction
indicated by the arrow marked on the motor cover.
Check the correct connecting sequence of
phases.
The machine must be connected to an efficient
ground system: the supplier is not responsible in
case this connection is not operated in
compliance with the subject rules in force. Before
any maintenance, cut the electricity supply to the
machine: for the maintenance refer to the
machine electric diagram, which is inside the
machine; anyway, it can be retrieved at any
moment on manufacturer web site.
The minimum section for the electric cable is
indicated in the attached technical data sheet and
are expressed in mm2.
ATTENTION!
The technical data minimum sections can change
according to the connection length. In case the
cable is longer than 5 meters, the cable diameter
must be proportionally increased.
ATTENTION!
The machine connection must always be made
respecting the data written in the serial number
plate (power, supply tension, frequency).
For a different voltage from the one provided, ask
for more information to the manufacturer.
ATTENTION!
For a machine equipped with drum or fan speed
control, it means for machine equipped with
inverter, a protection by RCD type B device must
be provided (sensible to the current medium
value).
ATTENTION!
In case the machine is equipped with a supply
cable, and the cable is damaged, the
manufacturer must replace it or by the authorized
technical service; anyway only qualified personnel
can service the machine, in order to prevent any

E170701X.01_ENG 16/04/18
11
risk.
ATTENTION!
Before turning on the power supply of a
machine that suffered a therma rus, wait for
the evaporation of condensed humidity to
avoid damages to electronics.
10. EMERGENCY STOP IN SELF SERVICE
CONFIGURATION
Machines in a self service don’t have an
emergency button. The installer must supply an
emergency device connected to all the machines.
11. GAS CONNECTION
If the machine is gas heated, the necessary
connection with the distribution system must be
made: check the machine serial number plate
data, especially check supply gas pressure.
ATTENTION!
The maximum gas pressure admitted is
50mbar. To supply the gas with a higher
pressure, even for short time, may damage the
valve.
The gas distribution system must be realized in
compliance with the rules in force and it must
respect the sections and the pressure suitable for
the installed equipment, as per tables at the end
of this manual.
Look to the following picture: back to the machine
must be installed a rapid gas interceptor valve (1):
the gas cock must be near the dryer and in an
easily reachable position. The cock must comply
with the rules in force and must be an approved
model.
A low point pressure switch must be provided (2).
The connection to the gas system must be made
using a no-vibration joint (3); if flexible tubes are
used, these must be in stainless steel DIN 3384 or
DIN 3383.
The gas system must be realized in compliance
with the rules in force. Respect dimension of the
dryer gas-connection written in the technical data
sheet; this dimension must not be reduced.
The next picture shows how the machine should
be connected in case of gas cylinder with high
pressure. In this case, a two-step reduction
system is necessary; it must be realised in
compliance with the rules in force.
At first 1.5mbar governor must be connected after
the high pressure gas cylinder (1), after that a
safety valve with the appropriate dimension must
be installed (2).
The high pressure tube (3) is interrupted by an
interceptor cock (4) and then it follows protected
(5) below the compartments division area border.
Before entering the room where the machine is
installed, a second interceptor valve must be
provided and then a filter (6) and a second
governor (7) which brings the pressure to the
correct working value.
12. GAS CONNECTION: TIGHTNESS TEST
All the joints between system and dryer must be
tightness tested.
To make this test, use a leak finder spray;
otherwise, the joints can be covered with foamy
substances, which must not be corrosive. In both
cases, bubbles must not appear.

E170701X.01_ENG 16/04/18
12
ATTENTION!
It is forbidden to use free flame for tightness
test!
13. GAS CONNECTION: THERMAL POWER
Each dryer tested in the factory is prepared for a
kind of gas that is written in the sticker near the
serial number plate.
If the machine is predisposed for a gas that does
not correspond to the kind available in the
installation place, then it is compulsory to make
the dryer adaptation. In this case, the authorized
after sales center must be informed.
A dryer that is working with the expected thermal
power depends on the inlet pressure and the gas
calorific power, but also depends on the nozzle,
the gas pressure arriving to the nozzle and from a
correct supply of primary air.
The pressure of the gas arriving to the machine
must be included in the limits written on the gas
type tables. If the pressure is not included in the
limits written in this manual, the dryer cannot be
started.
If the verified gas pressure is different from the
table values, please contact the gas company or
the company that realized the gas system.
The GAS Lower Calorific Power, which must be
asked to the gas company, must correspond to
the one indicated in the technical data table.
14. GAS CONNECTION: GAS INLET
PRESSURE CONTROL
The inlet gas pressure must be controlled using a
digital or liquid measuring tool (resolution of 0.1
mbar at least).
- Close the interception device.
- Open the sealing screw on the pressure tube
gas valve connection indicated as “Pin”.
- Connect the manometer
- Open the interceptor device
- Start the dryer following the user instruction
- Check the inlet pressure, with the burner
working.
- Switch off the dryer.
- Close the interception device.
- Take off the monometre.
- Close the screw of the gas valve pressure
tube and control the tightness.
- Open the interceptor device and control test
the tightness.
The dryer must not be used if the gas pressure is
out of the limit shown in the reference table.
15. GAS CONNECTION: FINAL TEST
Once the connection works are completed, the
equipment and the installation must be tested. It is
necessary to test:
-That the connection are made respecting the
instructions written in this manual;
-That the safety rules and the laws about this
subject are respected;
-That gas connections are tightness tested.
Switch on the machine following the user manual
instructions controlling the burner lighting on and
the flame aspect.
Do a gas test with the volumetric method. Using
the gas regulator, control how much gas was used
in a fixed time unit: this value must be compared
with the values in the tables.
16. HUMID AIR AND BURN GAS EXAUST
The humid air and burns gas exhaust system
must be realized following the rules in force.
To avoid lack of humid air and noise, the exhaust
joints to the outside must be made tight with high
temperature resistant material (filler, putty,
silicone preparation).
To avoid leakage, don’t use spiral ducts: use
straight metallic and rigid tubes therefore. The
material used must be compatible with the
exhaust temperatures of the machine. Gas heated
tumble dryer are B22 equipment, it means they
are gas equipment which depend on an aired
room without any wind protection device with
blower behind the burning room.
Dryer burned gas must be brought outside
through a chimney.
Burnt gas and humid air pipe must be the shortest
possible one and it must be rising to the exhaust
chimney. To reduce load losses, don’t use curves
at 90 °, preferring two 45 ° curves.
A condenser drain must be provided in the lowest
point. This drain derivation must observe local
rules of water drain connection.
Te duct must resist to any crush. In case of a
manifold, don’t use "T" connections and consider
the correct value of the manifold section. If
necessary, increase the manifold section.

E170701X.01_ENG 16/04/18
13
The manifold for multiple machines can’t be done
for gas machines.
For machines with electric or steam heating it is
possible to foresee a collector: do not perform "T"
connections and consider the correct value of the
manifold section. If necessary, increase the
manifold section.
The dryer is equipped with a suction fan that
produces its typical noise while working.
To reduce the noise level, a muffler can be
installed on the drain (it can be found in a
specialized shop).
17. STEAM CONNECTION
Only for steam-heated fryers, personnel in
compliance with the national and local rules in
force must perform a connection. Steam must
satisfy the minimum requirement written in the
technical data sheet; all component in the system
must be certified. The steam system must be
realized following the below diagram:

E170701X.01_ENG 16/04/18

Elements are identified in the system as below:
1On –Off Valve;
2Filter;
3Pressure reducing valve (if necessary);
4Safety valve
IN) Machine steam exchanger inlet
ATTENTION!
In order to be efficient, the safety valve must
be of an adequate size to provide to the
maximum steam system rate.
5Vacuum breaker valves
6Filter
7Inverted bucket steam trap
8Flow indicator
OUT) Machine steam heater outlet
ATTENTION!
Drying productivity depends on the steam
heater efficiency.
Dryer can work within the steam pressure
range referred in the technical data sheet,
anyway lower is the pressure, poorer are the
machines performance. In order to avoid too
much longer drying time, the pressure should
be at least 5bar.
ATTENTION!
Open slowly the shut-off valve (1) to minimize
pressure shocks effects.
ATTENTION!
Electric valves MUST NOT intercept steam line
nor pneumatics for temperature adjust.
Machine damper already does the
thermoregulation. The use of valves shorten
the life of the exchanger and the warranty
automatically lapse.
ATTENTION!
Don’t touch steam inlet or outlet tube when
they are hot!
18. COMPRESSED AIR CONNECTION
Connection to a compressed air system is
necessary for some dryer models: check the
equipment data sheet.
Qualified personnel in compliance with national
and local rules in force must perform system.
Connections between system and dryer must be
tested tightly; it is suggested to use a leak finder
spray. In case of leaks, stop them.
19. HYDRAULIC CONNECTION: LOAD
The washing machines are equipped with
electrovalve for the cold and hot water loading (in
case it is requested, the machine is equipped with
a third electrovalve for hard water). Each water
inlet is identified, for connection quotes refer to
technical data sheet.
At the beginning of each hydraulic supply a gate
valve must be provided to cut the water supply to
the machine at any moment, in case of
emergency or in case of service.
At the beginning of each water inlet an inspect
filter must be provided. It is necessary, also, to
control the machine inlet valve filter after a short
time of use, overall the hydraulic system is old or
not used from a long time.
ATTENTION!
All the inlet valve must always be connected!
If in the supply system it is not available the
hot water, connect cold water also to the inlet
valve called “HOT WATER”.
When more washing machine are connected to
the same water line, the water line must have a
diameter sufficient to grand a water flow enough
to supply all the machine in case all of them are
loading water.
A minimum pressure of 0,4 atm is necessary to
load the water: if the supplied pressure is lower,
the water loading time are longer.
Maximum water loading pressure is 8 Atm (the
minimum and maximum values are taking in

consideration all the kind of valve mounted on the
different machine size).
20. HYDRAULIC CONNECTION: DRAIN
The electric drain valve used are a normally open
kind, it means that the water is drained in case of
black out.
In case of more washing machines connected to
the same drain line, it must be enough to allow the
correct water flow in case all the machines are
draining water at the same time.
Drain collector must avoid that the water drained
by one machine enter in the next one.
The washing machine drain is for gravity, the
drain tube must not present sinking or counter
slope. A 2% slope must be provided to allow a
correct water flow.
The drain system must satisfy the local or national
laws and regulation in force.
21. MACHINE DESCRIPTION

Machine must be loaded on the base of the serial
number plate: it must not be loaded with a weight
higher than the one written in the technical data
sheet or in the serial number plate.
Before to choose the most suitable program, the
linen need to be sorted into groups homogeneous
for fibers and fabrics, in order to have a uniform
washing for the whole load.
Before to put the linen into the washing machine,
be sure that the linen label is authorizing the
machine washing; always stick to linen
manufacturer indication.
