ELECTRIC DRYER  

POWER HOOKUP

Electrical Requirements

Installation spacing for recessed area or closet

The dimensions shown are for the minimum spacing allowed.

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of 

installation and servicing.

Additional clearances might be required for wall, door,  

and floor moldings.

Additional spacing of 25 mm (1") on all sides of the dryer  

is recommended to reduce noise transfer.

For closet installation, with a door, minimum ventilation 

openings in the top and bottom of the door are required. 

Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are 

acceptable.

Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

Mobile home – Additional installation requirements

This dryer is suitable for mobile home installations. The 

installation must conform with local codes and ordinances.

Metal exhaust system hardware, available for purchase.

Special provisions must be made in mobile homes to 

introduce outside air into the dryer. The opening (such  

as a nearby window) should be at least twice as large  

as the dryer exhaust opening.

This dryer is supplied without an electric cord and plug.  

It must be connected by a competent electrician to a single-

phase electricity supply at the voltage shown on the dataplate, 

using a suitable fixed wiring installation in accordance with local 

and national wiring regulations.

n

   A 3-wire circular cord of minimum conductor size 4 mm

2

 

cross-section area should be used.

n

   A 30A supply fuse should be used, and a switch having 

a contact separation in both poles that provides full 

disconnection under over-voltage category III conditions 

must be incorporated into the fixed wiring in accordance 

with local wiring regulations. The dryer should be positioned 

so that the disconnection switch is clearly visible and easily 

accessible to the user. This disconnection switch also 

provides the function of an emergency stop control  

for the user.

n

   A cord clamp bush is provided on the dryer and should 

be tightened on completion of wiring. The electrical mains 

terminals are located behind the small rear access panel 

(terminal block cover), and connections should be made 

in accordance with the terminal markings. Remember to 

replace the terminal access panel (terminal block cover).

NOTE: 

In accordance with the European EMC Directive  

(2014/30/EU), the maximum electricity supply system impedance 

to which the electric dryer should be connected is declared  

to be 0.191 + j0.119 Ohms.

NOTE:

 Electrical safety standards: The manufacturer has 

chosen compliance with IEC/EN.60335 standards as the most 

appropriate for this product.

This is 3-wire appliance which must be earthed.

If codes permit and an additional earth bond wire is used,  

it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that  

the earth bond path is adequate.

Recommended earthing method

It is your responsibility to contact a qualified electrical installer 

to ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in 

conformance with all local codes and ordinances.
