Gas
Take these safety precautions if you smell gas
– Extinguish all flames immediately.
– Open all windows and doors immediately.
– Close the gas shut-off device on the gas meter or the main gas shut-off device immedi-
ately.
– If there is the smell of gas in a room, never enter the room with a naked flame.
– Do not light matches or lighters.
– Do not smoke.
– Do not carry out any actions that will create electrical sparks (such as pulling out electri-
cal plugs or pressing electrical switches or bells).
– Close the gas shut-off valve installed on site.
– 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 instructions.
During installation, the technical regulations for gas installations as well as national and
regional building regulations, fire regulations, and specifications from the relevant gas
supply companies must be adhered to.
When planning a gas-heated system, contact the relevant gas supply company and a
building regulations inspector in good time.
1. What needs to be observed before commissioning
Please specify the gas family, gas group, and connection pressure.
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 vapors
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 liquid gas-heated appliances are being set up below ground level, the operator must pro-
vide the system with the necessary aeration and induced ventilation equipment in accor-
dance with technical regulations for liquid gas.
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.
