F. ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
1. Electrical Requirements
It is your responsibility to have
ALL
electrical connections made by a properly licensed and competent
electrician to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and conforms to local and state regulations or
codes. In the absence of such codes,
ALL
electrical connections, materials, and workmanship
must conform
to the applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION or
in Canada, the Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION.
IMPORTANT:
Failure to comply with these codes or ordinances, and/or the requirements
stipulated in this manual can result in personal injury or component failure.
NOTE:
Component failure due to improper installation will VOID THE WARRANTY.
It is recommended that a separate circuit servicing each basket (tumbler) compartment be provided. The
dryer
must be
connected with copper wire only.
DO NOT
use aluminum wire, which could cause a fire
hazard.
NOTE:
The use of aluminum wire will VOID THE WARRANTY.
2. Electrical Service Specifications
a. Electrical Service for Gas Dryers
* AWG Stranded Wire Type...size wire as per National Electrical Code or local codes.
** 2-Pole circuit breaker is required.
IMPORTANT:
The dryer
must be
connected to the electrical supply shown on the data label,
located on the inside of the control door. In the case of 208 or 230 volts, the
supply voltage must match the electrical service specifications of the data label
exactly
. The voltages 208 and 230
ARE NOT THE
SAME
. Should it be found
that the dryer was manufactured for operation at 230 volts and the service supply
voltage is 208 volts, (or vice versa), a slight wiring change is necessary at the
heat circuit transformers. These transformers are located in the front wiring box
and are used to step down the control (primary) voltage (i.e., 208 or 230) to 110
volts. The transformers are dual (primary) voltage, and they
must be
wired
accordingly. In the case of 208 volts, the yellow primary leads
must be
used, and
the red leads dead ended. For 230 volts, the red primary leads
must be
used, and
the yellow leads dead ended. Refer to the wiring diagram located in the front
wiring box.
