Gas

Take these safety
precautions if you
smell gas
1. What needs to
be observed before
commissioning
Installation site
- 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 an
open flame.
- Do not carry out any actions that will create electrical sparks (such
as pulling out electrical 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 machine, they
must be given and/or made aware of these important safety pre-
cautions.
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 sup-
ply company and a building regulations inspector.
Please specify the gas type, gas group, and connection pressure.
Gas-heated tumble dryers must not be operated in a room where
cleaning machines operate with solvents containing perchloroethylene
or CFCs. During combustion, any vapors that are emitted will break
down into hydrochloric acid, leading to consequential damage affect-
ing laundry and the machine. Air exchange must not take place if ma-
chines are set up in separate rooms.
Rooms with fuel-burning installations must be adequately aerated and
ventilated. Any gas-heated machine must be considered to be a fuel-
burning installation (regardless of its gas flow rate).
If liquid gas-heated machines are being set up below ground level, the
operator must provide the system with the necessary aeration and in-
duced ventilation equipment in accordance with technical regulations
for liquid propane.
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 installations 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.
