can result in personal injury or component failure.

Note

Component failure due to improper installation will
void the warranty.

Each dryer should be connected to an independently protected
branch circuit. The dryer must be connected with copper

fire hazard. The copper conductor wire/cable must be of proper
ampacity and insulation in accordance with electric codes
for making all service connections.

Note

The use of aluminum wire will void the warranty.
An individual ground circuit must be provided to

each dryer, do not daisy chain.
Component failure due to improper voltage application will
void the warranty.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes in
specifications at any time without notice or obligation.
