4. Grounding
Grounding (earth) connections
must be
provided and installed in accordance with state and local codes. In
the absence of these codes, grounding
must conform
to 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. The ground connection may be to a proven earth ground at the
location service panel.
NOTE:
A grounding connection (terminal lug) is provided in the dryers electrical service/relay box at
the rear.
For added personal safety, when possible, it is suggested that a separate ground wire (sized per local codes)
be connected from the ground connection of the dryer to a grounded cold water pipe.
DO NOT ground to
a gas pipe or hot water pipe
.
The grounded cold water pipe must have metal to metal connection
ALL
the
way to the electrical ground. If there are any non-metallic interruptions, such as, a meter, pump, plastic,
rubber, or other insulating connectors, they
must be
jumped out with no. 4 copper wire and securely
clamped to bare metal at both ends.
IMPORTANT:
For personal safety and proper operation, the dryer
must be
grounded. For proper
operation of the microprocessor (computer), an earth (zero) ground
is required
.
NOTE:
Grounding via metallic electrical conduit (pipe)
is
not
recommended
.
G. GAS INFORMATION
It is your responsibility to have
ALL
plumbing connections made by a qualified professional to assure that the gas
plumbing installation is adequate and conforms with local and state regulations or codes. In the absence of such
codes,
ALL
plumbing connections, materials, and workmanship
must conform
to the applicable requirements of
the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the Canadian Installation Codes
CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (L.P. Gas) 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 and improper operation of the dryer.
The dryer and its individual shut-off valves
must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). The dryer
must be
isolated from
the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure test of the gas
supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
IMPORTANT:
Failure to isolate or disconnect dryer from supply as noted can cause irreparable
damage to the gas valve which will VOID THE WARRANTY.
WARNING: FIRE or EXPLOSION COULD RESULT.
