COMMERCIAL APPLICATION
GENERAL ELECTRIC DRYERS
GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF GOOD PRACTICE
(COIN-OPERATED MODELS ONLY)
In fulfilling the specific needs of different commercial installations, the purchaser of this
General Electric automatic dryer may wish to locate the coin box and controls in any of
a number of locations. The responsibility for the proper performance of this work lies solely
with the purchaser. It should be done by properly trained and qualified personnel, and in
accordance with local code requirements.
In addition, General Electric Company assumes no responsibility or liability whatsoever to the
purchaser for any patent infringement expenses, either in the form of damages or legal costs,
where the alleged infringement is based on a patent claim including one or more components
added by the purchaser (i.e., not supplied by General Electric Company with the purchased
dryer).
Set forth below are some general principles which should be followed by persons installing the
coin box and controls in the desired location. This listing is not all-inclusive, and is
only intended to serve as a general guide. These principles are intended to supplement,
not modify, the Installation Instructions which accompany the automatic dryer.
1. Any component added to the automatic dryer, either electrically or mechanically,
should be properly grounded.
2. All current-carrying metal parts should be isolated from possible contact by the user.
3. All wiring should be properly protected from sharp edges, burrs, moving parts and other
agencies which might cause abrasion of the insulation on the conductors.
4. All electrical connections should be mechanically secure, and should provide adequate
and reliable electrical contact under conditions, such as vibration, to which they may be
subjected.
5. All electrical components, wires and terminals should be of proper electrical rating for the
specific application.
6. All insulating materials should remain effective under the specific conditions to which they
will be exposed (e.g., humidity, temperature, etc.).
7. The installation should not be incompatible with the electrical circuit within the automatic
dryer nor in any manner interfere with either the safety devices or the sequence of
operations of the cycle which are engineered into the appliance.
8. Uninsulated current-carrying metal parts should have adequate and ensured permanence of
spacing from other parts.
