5 Safety Precautions 5 Safety Precautions Do not dry unwashed items in the machine The machine is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning. Do not allow minors to use the machine. Do not hose down the machine with water. The machine's door lock must under no circumstances be bypassed. 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 machine may not be used to dry floor mops that contain polypropylene. 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. 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 dissipiated. Remove garments from the machine as soon as they are dried. This prevents them from becoming creased and reduces the risk of spontaneous ignition. If the machine develops a fault, this must be reported to the person in charge as soon as possible. This is important both for your safety and that of others. The machine must not be located where a door, sliding door, etc., can block the machine's door The machine is not intended to be used by people (including minors) with reduced physical or mental capacity or lack of experience and knowledge. Such people must be instructed in the use of the machine by a person who has responsibility for their safety. Minors must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the machine. Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the back flow of gases into the room for appliances burning other fuels, including open fires. Gas heated tumble dryer: The machine is not to be installed in rooms containing cleaning machines with perchloroethylene, TRICHLOROETHYLENE or CHLOROFLUOROCONTAINING HYDROCARBONS as cleaning agents. 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 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.

19 Periodic maintenance 9 Functional inspection Functional inspection comprises:. Checking the door switch. 2. Test run.. Check the door switch Check whether the safety lock works. The drum must stop when the door is opened. When the door is closed again, the tumbler must not start until the start button is pressed. 2. Test run Check that the fan, drum rotation and heat all stop when the door is opened max. 40 mm. 40 mm Maintenance The following should be carried out at regular intervals, depending on the frequency of use. Daily Check that the drum stops when the door is opened. Check that the lint screen under the door has been cleaned. Use a soft brush or your hand, fig. 2. Check that the lint screen is not damaged. Check that the tumble dryer will not start until the start/stop button has been activated. 2

20 20 Periodic maintenance Monthly Dryer with RMC In order for the residual humidity control to work in an optimal manner it is important that the lift rolls inside the drum and the glide surfaces for the graphite carbon are cleaned. If these surfaces are not cleaned the automatic residual humidity control can be degraded resulting in the garment being damper than required at the conclusion of the programme. See fig.. Cleaning Wipe off/clean drum and lifters with citric acid (Acidum citricum). If soap/softener residue remains, it is recommended also to use a coarse sponge. Cleaning intervals depend on the operational usage. Cleaning must howeverbe carried out at least once each month. It is recommended that the glide surfaces are cleaned every third to sixth month or as required. See fig Quarterly/Semi-annually Check that the fresh-air intake at the rear of the tumble is not clogged by lint or blocked in any other way. Check that the filter is not broken. If the filter is defective it needs replacing. At least once a year a skilled expert should check the inside wearing parts of the tumble dryer and clean them of lint. Maintenance The area surrounding the dryer Fresh-air intake to the room Check that the fresh-air intake to the room and the exhaust ducts/pipes from the room are not clogged by lint/dust or blocked in any other way. Dryer area Check that the dryer area is clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapours and liquids.

21 Optimizing the air flow 2 Air flow Outlet dimensioning It is important that the dryer has the correct air volume compared to each dryer s effect. If the air flow is below the minimum, the dryer will be forced to switch the heating off thus prolonging the time it will take to dry the load. An air flow above the needed is unnecessary and can result in a cold laundry room and noise from the piping and outlet and in extreme cases prolonged drying time. For brief evacuations and where there are high airflows, the tumble dryer must be adjusted to optimal flow. One way in which this can be done is by using an "Iris valve (a valve specially designed to regulate airflow). Table with air volume and dryer effect Optimum volume Type Effect kw Optimum air volume m 3 /h Corresponding back pressure Pa T490 6, , Air volume The curves on the next page shows the characteristics of the dryer. By measuring or calculating the back pressure of the outlet pipe it is hereby possible to find the corresponding air flow into the room and through the dryer and exhaust.

47 Heating 47 Electric heated dryers The electric heating element A is located in the bottom of the chimney, fig.. The air is drawn through the louvres on the back plate and on to the heating element. The heated air passes through the garments and the drum vents. Then the air flows from the perforation through the filter and via the outlet into the air. The heating element is switched on by the heating contactor K4, which is controlled by the Compass Control. Overheating thermostat Electric heated dryers are equipped with two overheating thermostats connected in series (one 80 C and one 90 C) which switches off in case of overheating and error code E08 flashes in the display, fig. 2. The switching on (reset) must be done manually but first the cause of the error must be detected and the switched off overheating thermostat must be found. This error is often caused by reduction of the air circulation in the dryer due to insufficient air in the room or due to the dryer being overloaded. If the dryer is stopped before the cool down sequence has ended the after-heat can cause the overheating thermostats to switch off. A 2 The following error code is related to this section.

55 Heating 55 Gas error (E 4) Should a gas error occur error code E 4 will be displayed, fig.. In general gas errors occur due to supply shortage either if there is a gas failure or the gas pressure is too low. Other errors which can cause E 4 : Ignition failure, check the distance between the electrodes, fig. 2. The distance must be 3 mm (± 0.5 mm). The sensor (the ionization must detect the flame). The control box could be defective. Replace the defective control box, fig. 3 & 4. Gas heating problems often occur due to shortage in the air supply. It is therefore very important that the air supply to the room is sufficient. A rule of thumb for dimensioning the room s air inlet is that the air inlet opening must be 5 times the size of the air outlet opening.

63 RMC 63 RMC general RMC is a measuring method used to stop the dryer when the garments are dry. The current dryness/moisture of the garments is continuously measured and the drying sequence is brought to an end when the preset level has been obtained. The measuring signal is collected from the steel bands by means of the collector graphies which conduct the measuring signal to the Process Module. One of the collector graphies is connected to a lifter and the other one to the drum casing. A weak measuring current is sent through the garments which are in touch with the lifter, and as the resistance increases gradually as the garments are getting more and more dry the measuring signal is ready for onward processing by the Control PCB. Replacing collector graphies. Demount top plate. 2. Replace collector graphies fig. 2. 2
