care to avoid damage. Then, check it for
damage on the outside and drum. The manu-
facturer cannot be held liable for any dam-
age resulting from shipping or storing.
Caution: the machine can only be handled
and shipped on its pallet.
WARNING:
DO NOT DRAG OR PUSH THE
APPLIANCE BY THE SIDES.
Check beforehand that the appliance can
surmount every existing obstacle, like stair-
cases, doors, etc.
See to the correct disposition of packing
material (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene,
wood, cardboard, nails, etc.), which represent
a safety hazard and consequently must not be
left within the reach of children. Collect and
keep for further transportation or long-term
storage. (see “Storing” paragraph). Before
connecting the appliance, check that the rat-
ing plate data correspond to those of the
existing electric system). The dryer must be
used exclusively for the purpose it was de-
signed for.
5. GETTING THE APPLIANCE
STARTED
5.1 POSITIONING REQUIREMENTS
This dryer has no positioning requirement
except for a stable and level floor.
Correct floor unevenness using the machine
adjustable legs.
Check that the appliance is horizontal and
stable by a spirit level.
Place the dryer in an environment unaf-
fected by fabric clippings and dust. The
Drying process requires sufficient room ven-
tilation (open windows or doors to avoid
recirculation of damp air. Fumes must be
allowed unhindered exit. Convey fumes into
an exhaust pipe or outdoors through a tube or
wall box. No counterpressure must exist at
the tube outlet (e.g. wind).
5.2 ALLOWABLE ROOM CONDITIONS
FOR PROPER SERVICE (information for
the user)
- Type of room: closed
- Minimum temperature: 10
°
C
- Maximum temperature: 40
°
C
- Relative humidity: 75% R.H.
- Lighting: 100 lux (valid for Italy; as for
other national provisions regarding lighting
in working premises, consult the relevant
national codes).
5.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The drier must be installed by professionally
qualified personnel, in accordance with the
local regulations. The manufacturer assumes
no responsibility for damage arising from
misconnection performed by unauthorised
personnel.
Electrical connection requires an earthed
plug. If a fixed connection is performed, a
circuit breaker with minimum contact open-
ings of 3 mm must be installed ahead of the
appliance. Electrical connection must com-
ply with national and local norms. Machine
protection standard and model are indicated
on the nameplate attached to the back of the
machine itself. Do not switch the machine
on before electrical connection is completed.
CAUTION: EARTH CONNECTION IS
COMPULSORY.
Power cord replacement is reserved to the
authorised personnel.
THE GUARANTEE DOES NOT COVER
DAMAGE CAUSED BY INCORRECT
INSTALLATION.
5.4 CONNECTION OF TUBES FOR FUME
EXHAUSTION
The exhaust tube can be connected to the
fumes outlet existing on the back of the
appliance or to either side outlet. Cover
unused outlets using the supplied closing
plugs. The exhaust tube must as straight as
possible. Avoid bends and especially el-
bows. Considering tube roughness and the
consequent resistance to exiting air, the ex-
haust pipe must not exceed a certain length.
Unstraight pipe stretches increase resistance
to air flow. Every intervening bend or elbow
reduces the total admissible length of the
exhaust pipe. The maximum acceptable
length depends on pipe type too.
a) Wired hose
It is advisable to use a wired hose of 100mm
minimum diameter. The hose can be linked
to one of the fumes outlets. The maximum
admissible length for a straight wired hose is
approximately 8 m. Deduct 1.8 m for each
90
°
elbow and 1.0m for each 45
°
bend. If a
wall box with protection grid is used, deduct
further 2.0m from the total acceptable length
of the pipe.

b) Stiff pipe
The maximum admissible length for a
straight stiff pipe is approximately 10 m.
Deduct 0.6 m for each 90

elbow and 0.3 m
for each 45
°
bend. If a wall box with
protection grid is used, deduct further 2.0m
from the total acceptable length of the pipe.

c) Flat duct
For exhaust connection is also possible to
use a flat duct.
CONDENSATE DRAIN
It is advisable to provide for a drain for
condensate water in the lowest point of the
exhaust duct (~3mm hole).
