The electrical input connections on
ALL
single-phase
(1ø) gas model dryers and steam model dryers are
made into the rear service box located at the upper
left area of the dryer.
2) Electric Models ONLY
ALL
electrically heated dryers
must
be
connected to the electric service shown on the dryer's data label
which is affixed to the back side of the control (service) door. The connecting wires
must be
properly
sized to handle the rated current.
NOTE
: Electrically heated service (amperage) specifications/requirements not available at the time of
printing. Contact factory for update.
NOTE
: Component failure due to improper voltage application will VOID THE WARRANTY.
3. Grounding
A ground (earth) connection
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 Electric Code
ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION. The ground connection may be to a proven earth ground at the
location service panel.
For added personal safety, when possible, it is suggested that a separate ground wire (no. 18 minimum) 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.
Provisions are made for ground connection in each dryer at the electrical service connection area.
