en - Warning and Safety instructions
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.
Carry out an annual visual inspection of the gas supply and gas products in the prop-
erty. This inspection must comply with applicable 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 any naked flames (e.g. 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.
Installation site
Gas-heated tumble dryers must not be operated in a room where cleaning machines oper-
ate with solvents containing perchloroethylene or CFCs. During combustion, any vapours
that are emitted will break down into hydrochloric acid, leading to consequential damage
affecting laundry and the appliance. Air exchange must not take place if appliances are set
up in separate rooms.
Rooms with fuel-burning installations must be adequately aerated and ventilated. Any gas-
heated appliance must be considered to be a fuel-burning installation (regardless of its gas
flow rate).
If no low pressure occurs when a full fire is burning in all fuel-burning installations, this
means that the room ventilation is working properly, even if the exhaust gases from the in-
stallations are being extracted mechanically. This ensures that the gas is being combusted
correctly and that the exhaust gases are being evacuated completely.
It must not be possible to seal off aeration and ventilation openings.
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 measuring stubs on the gas valve. Checks must
be performed when the burner is both switched on and switched off.
