When it is in location, remove the base
pallet and pull the cardboard out.
Level the appliance by resting a spirit level
instrument on the sides and front (fig. 2).
Make sure that it does not rock. Level it
again after moving it. Grant it a 50 cm free
space for easy maintenance. This dryer needs
neither base nor anchoring. Install safe from
the elements.
The packing materials (plastic bags, ex-
panded polystyrene, timber, cardboard, nails,
etc.) represent a safety hazard and conse-
quently must not be left within the reach of
children. Collect and keep for further trans-
portation or longterm storage. (see "Stor-
ing" chapter). Before connecting the appli-
ance, check that the rating plate data corre-
spond to those of the existing electric or gas
network). The dryer must be used exclu-
sively for the purposes it was expressly
designed for.
5. TIPS ABOUT GETTING THE
APPLIANCE STARTED
5.1 POSITIONING REQUIREMENTS
This dryer can be installed beside other
appliances. It offers no positioning require-
ment except for a level floor that can stand
2
the weight of 300kg/m
.
It needs no base or floor anchoring.
To avoid electrostatic charge on electronic
devices, do not install the dryer on carpets,
moquettes or mats.
Check that the dryer does not rock and is
level by the use of a spirit level instrument
and make it stable by applying spacers if
necessary. Make sure it is level again after
moving it.
5.2. SPACE REQUIRED FOR INSTAL-
LATION, USE AND MAINTENANCE
The dryer must be granted the minimum
space.
The automatic cutoff switch and the gas
cock must be near enough to be reached by
the operator in any emergency (maximum
distance 3 m).
5.3. ALLOWABLE ROOM CONDI-
TIONS FOR PROPER SERVICE
(information for the user)
- Type of room: closed
- Minimum temperature: 10
- Maximum temperature: 40
- Relative humidity: 75% H.R.
- Lighting: 100 lux (valid for Italy; as for
other national provisions regarding lighting
in working premises, consult the relevant
national codes).
5.4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The drier must be installed by professionally
qualified personnel, in accordance with the
local regulations. The manufacturer assumes
no responsibility for damage arising from
misconnection performed by unauthorised
personnel.
Remove the panel that is fastened to the rear
of the appliance by self-tapping screws. Be
sure that the feed voltage corresponds to the
value reported on the rating plate. Consider
also that the maximum allowable power
voltage variation is ±10%.
CAUTION: EARTH CONNECTION IS
COMPULSORY.
The electrical connection must be carried
out according to the specific power supply
type using a cable as recommended hereaf-
ter:
- For 380/3+N power supply cable type H05
VV-F is required with five 1,5 sq.mm leads
each.
- For 220/3 power supply cable type H05
VV-F is required with four 2,5 sq.mm leads
each.
- For 220/1 power supply cable type H05
VV-F is required with three 4 sq.mm leads
each .
Ahead of the appliance there must be an
automatic multipolar cutoff switch with con-
tact openings no smaller than 3 mm, cali-
brated according to the maximum input (see
rating plate). Slip the cable through the cable
presser and tighten the nut. The dryer in-
cludes no control of the cycle direction,
considering that the motor, which is single-
phase, is factory wired and tested.
THE GUARANTEE DOES NOT APPLY
TO DAMAGE CAUSED BY INCOR-
RECT INSTALLATION.
5.5 CONNECTION OF TUBES FOR
FUME EXHAUSTION (FIG.5)
The dryer is equipped with one port for fume
exhaustion (outer diameter 100 mm). Fumes
are not injurious to health but they must be
conveyed outdoors, to an open and airy area.
Avoid long paths, bottlenecks and U-bends
that can get flooded and consequently en-
danger suction.
Do not connect to chimneys scavenging
fumes from gas, coal, wood or diesel burn-
ers. The fumes produced by the dryer must
be separate from those of other appliances.
At the lowest point of the exhausting instal-
lation, provide for an outlet to collect con-
densation water. Place a damper or an elbow
°
facing downwards at the outlet.

Mount a damper at the end of the drain tube,
30 cm from an obstacle. Provide for a 130
sq.cm opening for each dryer to avoid de-
pressions in the premises.
Placing grilles on the openings may reduce
air flow by 30-40%. If the pipe must feed the
appliance, increase the required opening di-
ameter by 25%.
The air consumption that the dryers need is
4,90 cu.m/min. (considering a 2,4 m pipe
and 2 elbows). The minimum distance al-
lowed between the pipeline and any inflam-
mable object is 5 cm. The pipeline must be
made of non-inflammable material like stiff
or flexible metal. Any screws or rivets used
to couple pipes must not project inside, as
loose threads can get caught in them.
It is advisable to use sealing tape or elastic
bands, instead. Before coupling the pipe-
line, make the tube from the drier into a bell
(fig.4).
If several appliances are connected to a main
(central) pipe, size the fume exhaust accord-
ing to the following table:
Place an air inversion damper at the exit of
each dryer and a handhole for cleaning pur-
poses.
The pipeline must be equipped with an
auxiliary fan guaranteeing a minimum air
flow of 366 m/min.
The connection of each pipe with the main
line must form a 30° angle and must be
staggered when a connection on the side
opposite the previous exists (see Fig.6 and
7).
There must be a minimum distance of 60 cm
from the pipeline outlet to the first obstacle
in the direction of the air flow .
Clean the pipeline twice a year and for this
purpose, apply it a handhole every 4 dryer
inlets.
5.6 AIR EXCHANGE
The premises housing the dryer must guar-
antee an exchange of air that is proportional
to the capacity of the dryer, no matter the
heating type.
Mind curtains and protection grilles, as they
can reduce air exchange by 35/40%. Make
sure the area of the opening is sufficient to
compensate for the existing obstacles.
If other appliances take in air from the same

If the appliance is fed by a pipe, increase the

5.7 GAS CONNECTION (FIG. 8 AND 9)
Each gas appliance must be installed in full
accordance with national and local regula-
tions.
