GIRBAU ED260 Operation And Maintenance Instruction Manual page 10

CAUTION!
INADVISABLE USE
It is totally prohibited to:

Operate the machine without the covers and guards correctly in place and secured.

Dry linen that has been previously treated or washed in petrol, dry cleaning solvents or other flammable or
explosive substances. These substances GIVE OFF VAPOURS that could ignite or explode.

Iron fabrics or fibres at temperatures above those recommended by the manufacturer of the material.

Dry articles of linen containing components unable to withstand the drying temperatures.

Disconnect the power supply until the cooling-down cycle has fully completed, EXCEPT IN AN
EMERGENCY.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS
It is important to advise users on the following safety points.

The machine should not be used without covers or guards being fitted, or if any indication of faults,
deterioration or malfunction is detected.

The use of appropriate clothing is recommended, avoiding very loose items of clothing that might get
caught.

Jewellery or accessories worn on the hands, arms, neck, etc. should be avoided.
DANGER!
RISK OF SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION
Because of the temperature of the linen, there is a potential risk of spontaneous combustion of the laundry load
inside the dryer.
To avoid the risk of spontaneous combustion, it is very important to follow these instructions:

Finish off drying programs with the cooling phase and do not remove the load until the cycle is completely
finished.

Once the drying cycle has finished or in situations where there is a power failure, remove the linen quickly
from inside the dryer.

Do not allow lint to accumulate in critical areas of the machine. Lint is readily flammable.

No washing machine can completely remove oils from fabrics. Never dry articles of linen that are stained
with oil. Never dry articles of linen containing rubber. Use the dryer ONLY to dry fabrics washed in water.
DANGER!
SPECIFIC WARNING FOR ELECTRIC-HEATED DRYERS
If the machine is at a high temperature and the fan stops or the power supply is disconnected, the heat
accumulated in the heater box is released through the grille in the top cover as hot air. Therefore:

This ventilation grille must not be obstructed.

Do not place any object or substance on this cover.
Do not touch the dryer's top cover.

DANGER!
SPECIFIC WARNINGS FOR GAS-HEATED DRYERS
When stopping the machine, always shut off the manual gas stopcock. Always turn off the gas heating before
stopping the machine.
DANGER!
SPECIFIC WARNINGS IN PROCESSES FOR DRYING MOPS
Some chemicals used in cleaning processes with mops are inflammable and are not easily removed during the
washing of mops.
For this reason it is advisable to:

Never dry mops that have not previously been washed in a water bath.

Ensure that the processes of washing mops completely eliminates the residual chemicals that they are
impregnated with.
