Installation
1.This appliance must be properly grounded. Electrical shock can result if the
dryer is not properly grounded. Follow the instructions in this manual for
proper grounding.
2.Do not use an extension cord with this dryer. Some extension cords are not
designed to withstand the amounts of electrical current this dryer utilizes and
can melt, creating electric shock and/or fire hazard. Locate the dryer within
reach of the receptacle for the length power cord to be purchased, allowing
some slack in the cord. Refer to the electrical requirements in this manual for
the power cord to be purchased.
3.A U.L. approved strain relief must be installed onto power cord. If the strain
relief is not attached, the cord can be pulled out of the dryer and can be cut
by any movement of the cord, resulting in electrical shock.
4.Do not use an aluminum wire receptacle with copper wired power cord and
plug (or vice versa). A chemical reaction occurs between copper and
aluminum and can cause electrical shorts. The proper wiring and receptacle is
a copper wired power cord with a copper wired receptacle.
Note:Dryers operating on 208 Volt power supply will have longer drying times
than operating on 240 Volt power supply.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in
a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are
in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. 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 appliance.
Power Supply:
3 or 4 wire, 240 Volt, 30 Amp, 60Hz, 1 Phase
Power Supply Cord Kit:
(not supplied when sold in the United States)
The dryer MUST employ a 3-conductor power supply cord NEMA 10-30 type
SRDT rated at 240 Volt AC minimum, 30 Amp., with 3 open end spade lug
connectors with upturned ends or closed loop connectors and marked for use
MUST employ a 4-conductor power supply cord NEMA 14-30 type SRDT or ST
(as required) rated at 240 Volt AC minimum, 30 Amp., with 4 open end spade
lug connectors with upturned ends or closed loop connectors and marked for use
with clothes dryers. See Electrical Connections for A 4-Wire System.
Danger:
3-Wire Cord Connections
1. Install a U.L. approved strain relief into the power cord entry hole of the
mounting bracket. Finger tighten the nut only at this time.
2. Thread a U.L. Approved 30 Amp. power cord, NEMA 10-30 Type SRDT,
through the strain relief.
3. Attach the power cord neutral (center wire) conductor to the silver-colored
center terminal on the terminal block. Tighten the screw securely.
4. Attach the remaining two power cord outer conductors to the outer brass
colored terminals on the terminal block. Tighten both screws securely.
WARNING: Do not make a sharp bend or crimp wiring/conductor
at connections.
5. Tighten the screws securing the cord restraint firmly against the power cord.
6. Tighten the strain relief nut securely so that the strain relief does not turn.
7. install the terminal block cover supplied as an accessory together with two
screws.
