4 Safety Precautions

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.
Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps,
waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or
pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the
machine.
Fabric softeners or similar products should be used as
specified by the fabric softener instructions.
The final part of a drying cycle occurs without heat (cool down
cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that
ensures that the items will not be damaged.
Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and
matches.
 Safety Precautions 5

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.
6 Safety 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

CAUTION
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.

Electrical installation

To be carried out by qualified personnel.

In most cases (e.g. when installing in a domestic communal washing

room) the electricity safety regulations do not require an earth fault
protection system to be installed. If you still require to connect the
machine using earth fault breakers, observe the following:
• Machines with frequency-controlled motors may be incompatible
with certain types of earth fault breakers, therefore a competent
licensed electrical installation company should be employed to
select a suitable type and to design the system.
• Only one machine to be connected per earth fault breaker.
• It is important that the earth conductor is connected correctly,
also with the right earth fault breaker.

The tumble dryer must be connected through it's own fuse group.

Cable dimensions
For calculation of connection cable dimensions refer to local regulations/
by-laws.

Evacuation system 1
Fresh-air
1 For the machine to work optimally with the shor-
test possible drying time, it is important for the air
input to the room to come from an aperture from
outside through which the same amount of air is
taken into the room as is blown out. To avoid a
draught in the room, the air inlet should prefera-
bly be placed behind the tumble dryer.
The free area* of the air inlet aperture must be
five times the area of the exhaust duct.
See table on next page.
The resistance in the grating/slats should not
exceed 10 Pa (0.1 mbar).
The air consumption is:
T4900CR: 2300 m3/h.
T41200CR: 2500 m3/h. 6810

2 Note that grating often blocks half of the

fresh air intake's total area. Don't forget to
take this into account when making calcula- 2
tions.
Pre-filter to the tumble dryer's air intake is
recommended.
* The free area is the area which the air can flow
through without resistance from grate/slatted
opening.

Exhaust duct
For the evacuation pipe or channel the following is valid:
• The exhaust duct must be smooth on the inside (low air resistance).
• The exhaust duct must lead to the outdoors.
• 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.

3 • The exhaust duct must have gentle bends.

When several tumble dryers share an exhaust duct

4
• The exhaust duct diameter must increase after each tumble dryer.
The table below shows the exhaust duct diameter and the necessary
fresh-air inlet area.
• The evacuation pipe must be equipped with a back-flow damper after
each tumble dryer.
NOTE!
It is recommended that each tumble dryer is connected to a separate
exhaust duct.

The exhaust duct diameter must not be reduced.

 Function checks 33

Function checks

To be carried out by qualified personnel.

Ensure that the tumble dryer's drum is empty and that the door is closed.

Inspection of the door's solenoid switch

• Start the tumble dryer.
• Check that the drum stops when the door is opened.

Inspection of the heater unit

• Let the tumble dryer work through a heat programme for 5 minutes.
• After this, check that the heating works by opening the door and feeling
by hand if there is warmth inside the drum.

Leak detection
• System leak detection.
• Clean the dirt traps.

Particle testing
Before performing particle testing make sure the tumble dryer has been in
operation for approx 15 hours.

Handling-over to the user

If the aforementioned tests have been conducted and have been found to
be positive the tumble dryer is ready to use.
Finalise the installation by instructing the user in the correct opera-
tion of the tumble dryer.
Hand-over all instructional material to the user.
