 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

 Periodic maintenance 19

Functional inspection 1

Functional inspection comprises:

1. Checking the door switch.
40 m
2. Test run. m
1. 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.

Maintenance
The following should be carried out at regular 2
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.
20 Periodic maintenance

Monthly 1
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 resul-
ting in the garment being damper than required
at the conclusion of the programme.
See fig. 1.

Cleaning
Wipe off/clean drum and lifters with citric acid
(Acidum citricum). If soap/softener residue re-
mains, it is recommended also to use a coarse
sponge.
Cleaning intervals depend on the operational
usage. Cleaning must howeverbe carried out at 2
least once each month.
It is recommended that the glide surfaces are
cleaned every third to sixth month or as re-
quired. See fig. 2.

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.
 Optimizing the air flow 21

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).

The main circuit board turns the heating unit off when the outlet air thermistor indicates
that the required temperature has been reached.
The resistance of this device is normally 4 to 6 kOhms at 20°C (68F) and it drops as its
temperature increases.
The sensor A is mounted on the same plate as the outlet air overheating thermostat.

Electric heated dryers 1

The electric heating element A is located in

the bottom of the chimney, fig. 1.
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. A
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 2
(one 180°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.

The following error code is related to this

section.

Gas error (E 14) 1

Should a gas error occur error code E 14 will
be displayed, fig. 1.
In general gas errors occur due to supply ERROR
shortage either if there is a gas failure or the
gas pressure is too low. E14
Other errors which can cause E 14 : GAS ERROR
• Ignition failure, check the distance between
PUSH GASRESET
the electrodes, fig. 2.
BUTTON

The distance must be 3 mm (± 0.5 mm).

• The sensor (the ionization must detect the
flame). 2
• The control box could be defective. 6204

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.

 RMC 63

1
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 pre-
set 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
1. Demount top plate.
2. Replace collector graphies fig. 2.
