INFORMATION FOR MACHINES WITH GAS HEATING ONLY
CAUTION!
THE INSTALLATION OF THE GAS SUPPLY EXTERNAL TO THE MACHINE, ITS CONNECTION TO THE
MACHINE AND SUBSEQUENT ADJUSTMENTS MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A REGISTERED
INSTALLATION CONTRACTOR.
ALL THE MATERIALS USED IN THE INSTALLATION MUST ALSO COMPLY WITH THE LEGALLY
APPROVED REGULATIONS CURRENTLY IN FORCE IN THE COUNTRY OR AREA IN WHICH THE
MACHINE IS BEING USED.
ALL THE INSPECTIONS AND CHECKS MUST BE CARRIED OUT ON GAS APPLIANCES DEMANDED BY
THE REGULATIONS CURRENTLY IN FORCE IN THE COUNTRY OR AREA IN WHICH THE MACHINE IS
TO BE USED.
THE VENTILATION IN THE PREMISES MUST COMPLY WITH THE REGULATIONS CURRENTLY IN
FORCE IN THE COUNTRY IN WHICH THE MACHINE IS TO BE INSTALLED AND MUST BE APPROVED
BY A COMPETENT TECHNICIAN.
THIS DRYER MUST NOT BE INSTALLED IN PREMISES WITHOUT ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
INADEQUATELY VENTILATED PREMISES CAN SERIOUSLY AFFECT PEOPLE’S HEALTH.
CAUTION!
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE GAS PIPE, CHECK THAT THE TYPE OF GAS AND THE
PRESSURE SUPPLIED CORRESPOND TO THOSE DETAILED ON THE DRYER SPECIFICATIONS
NAMEPLATE.
BEFORE CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE GAS PIPE, CLEAN THE PIPES OF SOLID PARTICLES.
INSTALL A MECHANICALLY LOCKABLE MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE IN AN ACCESSIBLE LOCATION.
IT IS ALSO ADVISABLE TO INSTALL A GAS PASS FILTER TO PREVENT ENTRY OF IMPURITIES THAT
CAN PREVENT THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE DRYER’S VALVE.
THE PIPE BETWEEN THE MANUAL SHUT-OFF VALVE AND THE MACHINE MUST BE RIGID.
ALWAYS SEAL THE THREADED JOINTS USING PRODUCTS SUITED TO THE GASES BEING USED.
CHECK THAT THE ENTIRE INSTALLATION IS AIRTIGHT BEFORE OPENING THE MANUAL SHUT-OFF
VALVE.
CAREFULLY CLEAN AND MAINTAIN ALL THE FILTERS. POOR FILTERING REDUCES THE FLOW AND
PERMITS THE ACCESS OF FOREIGN MATERIALS INSIDE THE DEVICES, BLOCKING ITS OPERATION.
TO IMPROVE SAFETY IN GAS INSTALLATIONS, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO INSTALL A GAS LEAK
DETECTOR NEAR THE MACHINE.
