5. EDIT MODE
Before accessing program editing, it is important to be familiar with the main concepts involved in this process.
Function: Each of the actions performed by the dryer during a program. The functions are always performed
following the same sequence or order of execution.
Phase: The grouping of the functions into the order in which they are to be performed is defined as a stage. In a
drying program there are basically two stages: the drying stage and the cooling stage.
EASY operation. In EASY operating mode the drying phase always consists of a single STEP.
PRO operation. In PRO operating mode, the drying phase may consist of different STEPS up to a maximum of
nine. A STEP can be understood as the sequential repetition of certain functions.
Program: The combination of the drying and cooling phases, whose aim is to dry the fabrics involved.
Edit: Managing the programs.
Editing options:
Creating a new program
Modifying an existing program
Copying an existing program into a new program. The preset programs can be copied.
Deleting a program created by the user.
It is important to note that Programs 41 to 50 are factory set. The contents of these programs cannot be
changed or deleted. Only the program name can be modified.
Configuration: The SYSTEM TOOLS (Chapter 6) mode groups together the settings that affect the operation
of the dryer. Modifying the value of these settings allows the operation of the dryer to be adapted to the needs of
the users while using the machine’s possibilities to the maximum.
The dryer leaves the factory with the basic configuration of operation options.
This configuration allows the machine to be programmed with many possibilities but with great
simplicity.
Do not modify the configuration settings without knowing exactly what their effect will be on the
machine operation as a whole.
Temperatures
Programming the drying temperatures.
Functions that can be programmed:
Programming the internal temperature of the drum. A function that can be programmed in EASY mode
and PRO mode. It allows the temperature inside the dryer drum to be programmed.
Programming the temperature of the air input. This is a function that can only be programmed in PRO
mode.
This allows the user to program the temperature limit for the exhaust air from the gas burner or for the series
of electric heating elements.
Mechanical action
Functions that can only be programmed in PRO mode.
Programming the rotation speed.
There are three preset speeds that can be selected in programming.
The rpm for each speed is set in the TABLES menu in System Tools (Section 7.1.3).
Programming the reverse rotation sequence.
There are five preset sequences that can be selected in programming.
Each sequence has three settings:
Left turn time (anticlockwise direction). Programming in minutes.
Pause time. Programming in seconds.
Right turn time (clockwise direction). Programming in minutes.
The rotation and pause times are set in the TABLES menu in System Tools (Section 7.1.3).
Cool down
Functions programmable in EASY mode and PRO mode.
End of program stage.
During the cooling stage the heating system is switched off and the rotation of the drum and the extraction
continue operating to reduce the temperature of the clothes at the end of the drying program, thereby avoid
creases in the fabrics and the risk of spontaneous combustion.
Normal cooling. In the corresponding stage, a stage duration and a target temperature are programmed.
The program ends when one of the following conditions is satisfied.
- The programmed time ends and the internal temperature of the dryer is below 60 ºC (140 ºF).
- The internal temperature of the dryer is equal to or less than the programmed target temperature.
Safety cooling. Cooling that is activated when a drying program is interrupted by pressing the key or by
opening the door during the normal cooling stage.
The program ends when the internal temperature of the dryer is at or below 60 ºC (140 ºF).
Very important!
The cooling stage is intended to reduce the temperature inside the drum, thereby preventing creases in
the fabrics and reducing the risk of spontaneous combustion from static electricity.
As a security measure it is highly advisable to program enough time to allow the fabrics to cool.
Duration control
This is a function that can be programmed in Duration controlled by time.
EASY mode and PRO mode.
Duration controlled by final moisture level.

11. MAINTENANCE
DANGER!
IT IS COMPULSORY TO CARRY OUT ALL THE INSPECTIONS AND TESTS REQUIRED BY THE
EXISTING LEGISLATION IN FORCE IN THE COUNTRY OR AREA IN WHICH THE MACHINE IS TO BE
USED, AT THE FREQUENCY DETERMINED BY THE AFOREMENTIONED LEGISLATION, ESPECIALLY
THOSE CONCERNING GAS APPLIANCES.
BEFORE MANIPULATING ANY OF THE MACHINE’S MECHANISMS, ENSURE THAT:
THE AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL SWITCH IS DISCONNECTED AND MECHANICALLY LOCKED.
THE MACHINE’S BREAKER SWITCH IS DISCONNECTED AND MECHANICALLY LOCKED (in
machines fitted with this device) (IF NECESSARY, REMOVE THE SWITCH’S REAR SUPPORT
COVER. THE SWITCH MUST BE IN THE “0” POSITION).
THE MANUAL GAS SUPPLY VALVE IS CLOSED AND LOCKED (machines with gas heating).
THERE ARE NO PARTS IN MOVEMENT DUE TO INERTIA.
THE MACHINE IS COLD THROUGHOUT.
CAUTION!
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED. DOING SO WILL ENSURE AN EXCELLENT SERVICE,
REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF FAULTS AND EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE DRYER.
USERS MUST REFRAIN FROM CARRYING OUT ANY MANIPULATION RESERVED FOR THE
AUTHORISED TECHNICAL SERVICE OR CLIENT TECHNICAL SERVICE.
THERE IS A MANUAL FOR MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED OUT BY THE AUTHORISED
TECHNICAL SERVICE.
CAUTION!
SPECIFIC WARNINGS FOR GAS-HEATED DRYERS
GAS CIRCUIT:
Should the dryer be dismantled, on reassembling pay special attention to the order in which the
components are assembled. Ensure that the seals are fitted correctly and avoid over-tightening self-
tapping threads, since they can crack female components.
DANGER!
LINT AND SOOT ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCES.
IT IS ESSENTIAL TO AVOID THESE BUILDING UP INSIDE THE MACHINE AND THE EXHAUST DUCTING
RUNNING FROM THE MACHINE TO THE OUTSIDE.
IT IS THEREFORE VERY IMPORTANT TO CLEAN THE AREAS EXPOSED TO LINT AND SOOT ON A
REGULAR BASIS (E.G.: COVERS, EXHAUST DUCTS, FILTER, FAN, ETC.). BY APPLYING THE
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING PLAN SET OUT IN THIS CHAPTER ON A TIMELY BASIS. IN THE CASE
OF MACHINERY OPERATING IN ESPECIALLY DIRTY CONDITIONS, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO CLEAN MORE
FREQUENTLY.
KEEP THE AREA AROUND THE MACHINE FREE OF LINT AND FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCES.
CAUTION!
THE LINT FILTER SHOULD BE CHECKED PERIODICALLY AND CLEANED WHENEVER DEEMED
NECESSARY.
CLEANING THE LINT FILTER IS VERY IMPORTANT.
THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE FILTER REDUCES THE PERFORMANCE OF THE DRYER AND
INCREASES THE RISK OF SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
CHECK THAT THE LINT FILTER IS NOT TORN OR BROKEN.
A BROKEN LINT FILTER ALLOWS LINT TO PASS INTO THE EXHAUST DUCT. THIS BUILD UP IS AN
IMPEDIMENT FOR EXTRACTION AND POSES A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF FIRE.
NEVER OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT THE LINT FILTER OR WITH THE LINT FILTER BROKEN OR
DAMAGED.
FOR GREATER SAFETY, USE THE PERIODIC LINT FILTER CLEANING INDICATION IN THE GENERAL
SETTINGS CONFIGURATION MENU.
The outside of the dryer should be cleaned regularly. Use a damp cloth or sponge.
To remove remains of grease, use neutral soap, rinse and dry properly.
Never use abrasive products or tools that could scratch or damage the surface of the machine.
CAUTION!
THIS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY.
CHECK THE DOOR SAFETY DEVICE DAILY.
TAKE GREAT CARE WHEN CHECKING THE DOOR LOCK.
IF THERE IS A FAULT IN THE DOOR LOCK, KEEP HANDS WELL AWAY FROM THE DRYER LOADING
ORIFICE.
Checking procedure:
With the machine power supply on, open the door of the dryer. The display reports that the door is open
and no program can be started.
Close the door.
Select and run a drying program containing heating.
When the display shows that the heating system is on, open the door of the dryer.
The open door image appears on the display.
Close the door. The display shows a message allowing the program to be resumed or cancelled.
Cancel the program and open the door.
DANGER!
CAUTION!
THIS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY.
CHECK THE EMERGENCY STOP ON A WEEKLY BASIS.
Applying the emergency stop device (see section 4.6.4).
Checking procedure:
Switch on the machine and start a drying program.
Press the emergency stop button.
The drum will stop rotating and the heating system will turn off.
The beep will sound and a warning message will be displayed stating that the Emergency Stop is activated.
Unlock the Emergency Stop button.
Press the key. The Emergency Stop icon disappears, the beep stops, and the MAIN MENU icons are
displayed on the screen.
DANGER!
NEVER USE THE MACHINE WITHOUT A PROPERLY WORKING EMERGENCY STOP DEVICE.
In accordance with safety directives, all electrical devices and mechanisms subjected to high temperatures, are
to be protected by safety guards (covers) to prevent accidental contact with these elements.
