Gas-heated tumble dryers


In the event of a fault or when carrying out cleaning and maintenance, the manual gas
shut-off valve and the shut-off device on the gas meter must be closed.

Before completing commissioning, maintenance, conversion and repair work, all gas-
conducting components – from the manual shut-off valve to the burner jet – must be
checked for leaks. Particular attention must be paid to the measurement connections on
the gas valve and on the burner. Checks must be performed when the burner is both
switched on and switched off.

It is recommended that the product and its installation is annually inspected and tested
by a suitably qualified technician in conjunction with local and national regulations.
Take these safety precautions if you smell gas
- Extinguish all flames immediately.
- Close the on-site gas shut-off device, the gas shut-off device on the gas meter or the
main gas shut-off device immediately.
- Open all windows and doors immediately.
- Do not light matches or lighters.
- Do not smoke.
- If there is the smell of gas in a room, never enter the room with a naked flame.
- Do not carry out any actions that will create electrical sparks (such as pulling out elec-
trical plugs or pressing electrical switches or bells).
- If you cannot find the cause of the gas smell and all gas valves have been shut off,
please call the gas supply company immediately.
If other persons are being shown how to operate the appliance, they must be given and/
or made aware of these important safety precautions.

Correct use


Always close the drum door after each drying cycle. This will prevent:
- Children climbing into the tumble dryer or hiding things in it.
- Pets or other small animals climbing into the tumble dryer.

Keep the room where the tumble dryer is located free from dust and fluff. If the air that is
taken into the machine contains dirt particles, this can cause blockages. A fault may then
occur and there is a risk of fire.

Never operate the tumble dryer without the fluff filter or with a damaged fluff filter. This
could lead to malfunctions. Fluff can clog the air channels, heating elements and vent
ducting, which could result in a fire. In this case, stop the tumble dryer immediately and re-
place the damaged fluff filter.

The fluff filter must be cleaned on a regular basis.
