 Safety Precautions

• Servicing shall be carried out only by authorized personnel.
• Only authorized spare parts, accessories and consumables shall be used.
• 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.
• 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.
• When performing service or replacing parts, the power must be disconnected.
• When the power is disconnected, the operator must see that the machine is disconnected (that the plug is removed and remains removed) from any point to which he has access. If this is not possible, due to the construction or installation of the machine, a disconnection with a locking system in the isolated position shall be provided.
• In accordance with the wiring rules: mount a multi-pole switch prior to the machine to facilitate installation and service operations.
• WARNING: The appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by a utility.
• If different rated voltages or different rated frequencies (separated by a /) are stated at the machine data plate, instructions for adjusting the appliance for operation at the required rated voltage or rated frequency are stated in the installation manual.
• Stationary appliances not fitted with means for disconnection from the supply mains having a contact separation in all poles that provide full disconnection under overvolt-age category III, means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
• The openings in the base, shall not be obstructed by a carpet.
• Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
• If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
• Maximum mass of dry cloth: TD6–45: 50 kg, TD6–60: 67 kg.
• A-weighted emission sound pressure level at working stations: < 70 dB(A).

Operating panel

Options
The machine can be equipped with several combinations of options. The following tables explains the function of each knob/button.

Use the following table as a guide to set the optimum drum speed.

The table of optimum drum speed is a general recommendation. Optimal drum speed and how the load should be distributed in the drum can vary depending on type of load and drying process, the table should thus be seen as gen-eral load distribution recommendation.
The following options are only for machines with sliding doors:

Program description

General
The machine is equipped with a number of programs adapted to the range of use to which the machine is intended— different markets use different programs. The following program description is a short description of some exam-ples of programs that can be used.
For best possible drying result it is advisable to dry garments of the same quality for each drying cycle.

Program description
There are two types of programs, automatic programs and time programs.

• Automatic programs has moisture detection and will stop when selected dryness is achieved.
• Time programs has no moisture detection and will stop when the preset or selected time has ended.

During a drying cycle, when the square in the lower right corner is fully ticked, it indicates that the heating unit is ac-tive / ON. The heating unit can be gas, electric or steam.
If the square box is not ticked, it doesn’t mean the heating unit is abnormal. This box is just monitoring the status of the heating unit and shows if it is Active / ON or Inactive / OFF.

• A = Active / ON
• B = Inactive / OFF

Automatic programs

Time programs

• Programs with NORMALTEMPare suitable for most textiles.
• Programs with LOWTEMPshould be used for synthetic textiles e.g. polyester, polyamide, polyacrylic and elastan, viscose, polycotton and delicate fabrics marked with the symbol (in the following figure) or with the text “Tumble dry low” or similar.

When program has ended

Note! For the best possible drying result it is important to empty the machine as soon as the program has ended. If the machine is not emptied as soon as the program has ended the drum will rotate in short intervals in order to keep the goods from being wrinkled.

Tilting operation for easy unloading
When program has ended open the sliding door.

Start tilting by turning the knob all the way to right position. The machine will start tilting forward and it will be easier to unload.

Note! Rotating the drum when unloading the machine must only be made by one person.
When the machine has been unloaded, turn the tilting knob back into left position.

Clean the filter compartment
Check the filter compartment. Clean if necessary. It is unnecessary to remove the lint filter for cleaning. The air system of the machine ensures that lint and dust settle automatically at the bottom of the filter compartment.

Use a long-handled brush or a vacuum cleaner to remove the lint and dust. The illustration show a standard machine as example.

Error codes

A fault in the program or in the machine is indicated by an error code on the display. Some of these error codes can be solved easily without contacting service personnel.

For other error codes or repeated error codes, disconnect the power for 30 seconds. If the error code keeps coming back, contact authorized service personnel.

Maintenance

1. General
   It is the responsibility of the owner of the machine/the laundry manager to make sure that maintenance is periodically performed.
   Note! Lack of maintenance may deteriorate the performance of the machine and may cause damage to components.

2. Time for maintenance

The machine can be used meanwhile. However, the message will keep coming back until the service is performed. The message will disappear after about 30 seconds or if is pressed.

3. Every day
   Check that the machine does not operate with the door or the filter door open, if so, the machine must be placed out of order until repairs are made. Clean the door, door glass, door gasket and other external parts.

Check the filter compartment. Clean if necessary. It is unnecessary to remove the lint filter for cleaning. The air system of the machine ensures that lint and dust settle automatically at the bottom of the filter compartment.

Use a long-handled brush or a vacuum cleaner to remove the lint and dust. Check that the lint filter is unbroken. Replace if necessary. Vacuum the filter door switch (A). The illustration show a standard machine as example.

Remove any lint and dust around the machine.

For machines with sliding door
Check the door packing (B) and clean if necessary (use a moist cloth).

Machines with Moisture Balance (MB)
At regular basis, 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. Lack of cleaning can affect the functionality of the Moisture Balance. This can result in more moist load than requested at program end.
Maintenance to be carried out by qualified service personnel
Use qualified service personnel to perform the following maintenance:
Once a month:

• Steam heated machines: Clean the filter in front of the steam calorifier.
• Machines with sliding door: Clean the sliding door panels.

After three months, then every three to six months:

• Clean the fan, the exhaust duct and the fresh-air intake to the room. After 1600 hours of operation or once a year, whichever comes first:
• On machines with MB: Clean the glide surface on the MB graphite collector.
  • Check the RMC function through the service mode==> enter the password ==> Function test ==> Show inputs ==> RMC.
  • RMC value no load = 0%
  • RMC value 100 kΩ between lifter and drum = approximately 24% (Putting your hand over the lifter onto the drum
  • will result in approximately 20% RMC value).
  • RMC value system short circuit (No load) = 50%.
• Clean the door gasket
• Clean the component unit
• Clean the area around the drum
• Clean the motors, fan/fan wheel
• Check the support rollers
• Check the belt tension

For original spare parts please contact your local authorized dealer.
