 Prior information 10

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 WARNINGS FOR DRYERS WITH ELECTRIC HEATING

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:
• Never obstruct this ventilation grille.
• 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

BEFORE HANDLING THE LINEN INSIDE THE DRYER, WAIT UNTIL THE DRUM HAS COMPLETELY
HALTED.
IF THE LINEN IS AT A HIGH TEMPERATURE, PROTECT HANDS WITH THERMALLY INSULATED
GLOVES.

DANGER!

MECHANICAL RISKS
To avoid the risk of being caught up in the machine’s moving parts it is essential for hair to be
tied up and suitable fitted clothing to be worn.
Jewellery must not be worn.
Do not use the machine without all the cover and safety guards correctly in place.
Disconnect the power supply and close the gas supply valves and other sources of heating before
removing any form of protection.

ELECTRICAL RISKS
It is essential for the machine to be connected to external protection (earthed).

HIGH TEMPERATURE RISKS

Do not remove any safety guards without first making sure the machine is cool (<35 ºC / 90 ºF).
Do not put the hands anywhere near the exposed surface of the drum, particularly, the laundry
output area or the heating circuit elements.
Wear heat insulating gloves to protect the hands from the continuous contact with hot laundry.

FIRE RISKS
Lint and soot are highly flammable substances.
It is essential to avoid these building up inside the machine and the exhaust ducting running from
the machine to the outside.
To achieve this, all the places likely to collect lint and soot must be regularly cleaned (e.g.:
covers, exhaust ducting, filter, fan, etc.).
Also keep the area around the machine free from lint and any other inflammable materials or
substances.
Remove the linen from inside the dryer without delay. This will prevent creases in the fabric and
reduce the risk of spontaneous combustion.

4.3.1. Program groupings

The dryer has 50 programs grouped into three types:

• Programs that can be programmed by the user: Programs that are empty of content, where programs can
be created and stored. (Maximum number of programs that can be programmed: 40.
• Preset programs: Ten preset programs with different drying cycles. Only their names can be changed, not
their content. Its appearance on the program list is optional and can be selected in the OPTIONS menu from
the Tools menu (see Section 7.1.2).
• Manual program. A program that allows the user to program a drying cycle for a single use only, and which
is NOT stored in the dryer’s memory. Its appearance on the program list is optional and can be selected in
the OPTIONS menu from the Tools menu (see Section 7.1.2).

4.3.2. Order that the programs are displayed on the screen

The machine displays four programs per screen in the following order of appearance:

• Top four: List of the four most commonly used programs (either preset or programmed), arranged by
frequency of use. On starting up the dryer for the first time the screen displays the first four pre-recorded
programs. As different programs are run, these are displayed in the top four positions.
• Manual program: If the manual program display is enabled and is not used, it will be positioned after the list
of the top four.
• Programs created by the user: List of the created programs. If no programs have yet been created, the
machine displays the preset programs directly.
• Preset programs: List of ten programs preset in the machine’s memory. The display of the preset programs
is activated by default. The display can be disabled in the OPTIONS menu in the tools menu.

Once the cooling stage has ended, the machine informs the user of the end
of the drying program acoustically and on screen.

Precautions at the end of the drying program

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 Fig. 4.2
found in Chapter 11.
• The final temperature of the linen can be high. Protect hands with heat-
insulated gloves.

4.3.5. Standby mode at end of program

If the load is not removed immediately on completing the drying program and corresponding cooling phase, the
machine will remain in standby mode. In this state, the machine will rotate the drum every 30 minutes for 1
minute and run the extractor.
The maximum time in standby mode is 120 minutes.

5. EDIT MODE

5.1. Defining editing concepts

Before accessing program editing, it is important to be familiar with the main concepts involved in this process.

Function: Each of the actions performed by the dryer during a program. The functions are always performed
following the same sequence or order of execution.
Stage: The grouping of the functions into the order in which they are to be performed is defined as a stage. In a
drying program there are basically two stages: the drying stage and the cooling stage.
EASY operation. In EASY operating mode the drying stage always consists of a single PHASE.
PRO operation. In PRO operating mode, the drying stage may consist of different PHASES up to a maximum of
nine. A PHASE can be understood as the sequential repetition of certain functions.
Program: The combination of the drying and cooling stages, whose aim is to dry the fabrics involved.
Edit: Managing the programs.
Editing options:
• Creating a new program
• Modifying an existing program
• Copying an existing program into a new program. The preset programs can be copied.
• Deleting a program created by the user.
It is important to note that Programs 41 to 50 are factory set. The contents of these programs cannot be
changed or deleted. Only the program name can be modified.
Configuration: The SYSTEM TOOLS (Chapter 6) mode groups together the settings that affect the operation
of the dryer. Modifying the value of these settings allows the operation of the dryer to be adapted to the needs of
the users while using the machine’s possibilities to the maximum.

The dryer leaves the factory with the basic configuration of operation options.
This configuration allows the machine to be programmed with many possibilities but with great
simplicity.
Do not modify the configuration parameters without knowing exactly what purpose they have in the
functioning of the machine as a whole.

5.3. General observations

When selecting an empty program for programming, the dryer control allows the user to adjust the various
program settings sequentially. Confirming each step of the programming leads automatically to the next option.

5.3.1. Two operating modes

There are two operating modes that can be selected in the options menu of the System Tools mode (Section
7.1.2).
• EASY operation: The default operating mode. An operating mode with easy to use programming. The
contents of the programs consist of a single phase and a final cooling. This allows the majority of fabrics
to be dried.
• PRO operation: A mode that allows program settings to be adjusted in greater detail. It allows the
programming of multiple phases and the final cooling. It allows the drying of fabrics that require a complex
process.
At each step of the programming, the availability is specified for each operating mode.

5.3.2. Programming a phase

Selecting and identifying the program

Functions programmable in EASY mode and PRO mode.
This allows the user to select the number of the program to be created.
• Program number: The dryer will display the numbers of the empty programs.
• Program identification: This allows the user to identify the program by name or alphanumeric code.

Duration of the drying

Functions programmable in EASY mode and PRO mode.
It should be stressed that the selecting the drying time control mode substantially determines the operation of
the dryer.
• Duration control by time. In the programming process the drying time is selected (time in minutes).
Once the drying time has ended, the program moves on to the next phase (PRO mode) or on to the
cooling stage, regardless of the moisture level of the fabrics.
• Duration control by level of moisture. (Only in machines with a moisture sensor option.) In the
programming process the length of the drying stage is selected according to the level of moisture
Code no. 576074
Rev. nº 05/0419
 Edit mode 28

contained in the fabrics and the time limit for the duration of this process. The level of moisture contained
in the fabrics is constantly monitored.
When the moisture level falls to the programmed level or the set time limit ends, the program moves on to
the next phase (PRO mode) or on to the cooling stage.

Temperatures
Programming the drying temperatures.
Functions that can be programmed:
• Programming the internal temperature of the drum. A function that can be programmed in EASY
mode and PRO mode. It allows the temperature inside the dryer drum to be programmed.
• Programming the temperature of the air input. This is a function that can only be programmed in PRO
mode. This allows the user to program the temperature limit for the exhaust air from the gas burner or for
the series of electric heating elements.

Mechanical action
Functions that can only be programmed in PRO mode.
• Programming the rotation speed.
There are three preset speeds that can be selected in programming.
The rpm for each speed is set in the TABLES menu in System Tools (Section 7.1.3).
• Programming the reverse rotation sequence.
There are five preset sequences that can be selected in programming.
Each sequence has three settings:
• Left turn time (anticlockwise direction). Programming in minutes.
• Pause time. Programming in seconds.
• Right turn time (clockwise direction). Programming in minutes.
The rotation and pause times are set in the TABLES menu in System Tools (Section 7.1.3).

Alert beep and new phase

Functions that can only be programmed in PRO mode.
• This alert beep can be programmed at the end of each phase.
The duration of the beep cannot be programmed.
• Access to programming a new phase.
Up to a maximum of nine new phases can be programmed.
Accessing a new phase situates the programming in the Drying duration stage.

Cool down
Functions programmable in EASY mode and PRO mode.
End of program stage.
During the cooling stage the heating system is switched off and the rotation of the drum and the extraction
continue operating to reduce the temperature of the clothes at the end of the drying program, thereby avoid
creases in the fabrics and the risk of spontaneous combustion.
• Normal cooling. In the corresponding stage, a stage duration and a target temperature are programmed.
The program ends when one of the following conditions is satisfied:
• The programmed time ends and the internal temperature of the dryer is below 60 ºC (140 ºF).
• The internal temperature of the dryer is equal to or less than the programmed target temperature.

• Safety cooling. Cooling that is activated when a drying program is interrupted by pressing the key or
by opening the door during the normal cooling stage. The program ends when the internal temperature of
the dryer is at or below 60 ºC (140 ºF).

VERY IMPORTANT!!!
The cooling stage is intended to reduce the temperature inside the drum, thereby preventing creases in
the fabrics and reducing the risk of spontaneous combustion from static electricity. As a security
measure it is highly advisable to program enough time to allow the fabrics to cool.

DANGER!

IT IS COMPULSORY TO CARRY OUT ALL THE INSPECTIONS AND TESTS REQUIRED BY THE
EXISTING LEGISLATION IN FORCE IN THE COUNTRY OR AREA IN WHICH THE MACHINE IS TO BE
USED, AT THE FREQUENCY DETERMINED BY THE AFOREMENTIONED LEGISLATION, ESPECIALLY
THOSE CONCERNING GAS APPLIANCES.
BEFORE MANIPULATING ANY OF THE MACHINE’S MECHANISMS, ENSURE THAT:
• THE AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL SWITCH IS DISCONNECTED AND MECHANICALLY LOCKED.
• THE MACHINE’S BREAKER SWITCH IS DISCONNECTED AND MECHANICALLY LOCKED (in
machines fitted with this device) (IF NECESSARY, REMOVE THE SWITCH’S REAR SUPPORT
COVER. THE SWITCH MUST BE IN THE “0” POSITION).
• THE MANUAL GAS SUPPLY VALVE IS CLOSED AND LOCKED (machines with gas heating).
• THERE ARE NO PARTS IN MOVEMENT DUE TO INERTIA.
• THE MACHINE IS COLD THROUGHOUT.

ONCE ANY MAINTENANCE OPERATION HAS ENDED:

• FIT ALL THE COVERS ON THE MACHINE.
• CONNECT THE ENERGY SOURCES.
• START A DRYING PROGRAM AND CHECK THAT THE MACHINE IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

CAUTION!
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED. DOING SO WILL ENSURE AN EXCELLENT SERVICE,
REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF FAULTS AND EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE DRYER.
USERS MUST REFRAIN FROM CARRYING OUT ANY MANIPULATION RESERVED FOR THE
AUTHORISED TECHNICAL SERVICE OR CLIENT TECHNICAL SERVICE.
THERE IS A MANUAL FOR MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT BY THE AUTHORISED
TECHNICAL SERVICE.

CAUTION!
SPECIFIC WARNINGS FOR GAS-HEATED DRYERS
GAS CIRCUIT:
Should the dryer be dismantled, on reassembling pay special attention to the order in which the
components are assembled. Ensure that the seals are fitted correctly and avoid over-tightening self-
tapping threads, since they can crack female components.

DANGER!
LINT AND SOOT ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCES.
IT IS ESSENTIAL TO AVOID THESE BUILDING UP INSIDE THE MACHINE AND THE EXHAUST DUCTING
RUNNING FROM THE MACHINE TO THE OUTSIDE.
IT IS THEREFORE VERY IMPORTANT TO CLEAN THE AREAS EXPOSED TO LINT AND SOOT ON A
REGULAR BASIS (E.G.: COVERS, EXHAUST DUCTS, FILTER, FAN, ETC.). BY APPLYING THE
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING PLAN SET OUT IN THIS CHAPTER ON A TIMELY BASIS. IN THE CASE
OF MACHINERY OPERATING IN ESPECIALLY DIRTY CONDITIONS, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO CLEAN MORE
FREQUENTLY.
KEEP THE AREA AROUND THE MACHINE FREE OF LINT AND FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCES.

11.1. Clean and check the lint filter

CAUTION!
THE LINT FILTER SHOULD BE CHECKED PERIODICALLY AND CLEANED WHENEVER DEEMED
NECESSARY.
CLEANING THE LINT FILTER IS VERY IMPORTANT.
THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE FILTER REDUCES THE PERFORMANCE OF THE DRYER AND
INCREASES THE RISK OF SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
CHECK THAT THE LINT FILTER IS NOT TORN OR BROKEN.
A BROKEN LINT FILTER ALLOWS LINT TO PASS INTO THE EXHAUST DUCT. THIS BUILD UP IS AN
IMPEDIMENT FOR EXTRACTION AND POSES A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF FIRE.
NEVER OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT THE LINT FILTER OR WITH THE LINT FILTER BROKEN OR
DAMAGED.
FOR GREATER SAFETY, ACTIVATE THE LINT FILTER’S PERIODIC CLEANING INDICATION IN THE
GENERAL PARAMETERS CONFIGURATION MENU.

11.1.1. Lint filter’s periodic cleaning indication

The lint filter’s periodic cleaning indication is activated and programmed in the general parameters configuration
menu.

Whenever the user-defined time elapses, a screen is displayed (Fig.
