Electrical Requirements
(Electric Dryers)
(120/240 Volt, 60 Hertz, 3-Wire Installation)
(120/208 Volt, 60 Hertz, 3-Wire Installation)
NOTE: The wiring diagram is located inside the control hood.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or personal
injury, all wiring and grounding MUST conform with the
latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, and
such local regulations as might apply. IT IS THE
CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE THE WIRING
AND FUSES CHECKED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO
MAKE SURE THE LAUNDRY ROOM HAS ADEQUATE
ELECTRICAL POWER TO OPERATE THE DRYER.
Grounding And Wiring Instructions
·
The dryer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring
system; or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the
circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal
or lead on the dryer.
·
The dryer has its own terminal block that must be connected to a
separate branch, 60 Hertz, single phase circuit, AC (alternating current)
circuit,
fused at 30 Amperes
(the circuit must be fused on both
sides of the line).
ELECTRICAL SERVICE FOR THE DRYER
SHOULD BE OF MAXIMUM RATED VOLTAGE LISTED ON
THE NAMEPLATE. DO NOT CONNECT DRYER TO 110, 115,
OR 120 VOLT CIRCUIT.
Heating elements are available for field
installation in dryers which are to be connected to electrical service of
different voltage than that listed on nameplate, such as 208 Volt.
·
If branch circuit to dryer is fifteen feet (4.50 m) or less in length, use
U.L. (Underwriters Laboratories) listed No. 10 A.W.G. wire (copper wire
only), or as required by local codes. If over fifteen feet (4.50 m), use
U.L. (Underwriters Laboratories) listed No. 8 A.W.G. wire (copper wire
only), or as required by local codes. Allow sufficient slack in wiring so
dryer can be moved from its normal location when necessary.
