Electric Models Only

All electrically heated dryers must be connected to the electric service shown on the dryer’s data label. The connecting wires must be properly sized to handle the rated current.

ELECTRICAL SERVICE SPECIFICATIONS

IMPORTANT: 208 VAC AND 230/240 VAC ARE NOT THE SAME. When ordering, specify exact voltage.

NOTES:	A.	When fuses are used they must be dual element, time delay, current limiting, class RK1 or RK5
		ONLY. Calculate/determine correct fuse value, by applying either local and/or National Electrical
		Codes to listed appliance amp draw data.
	B.	Circuit breakers are thermal-magnetic (industrial) type ONLY. For others, calculate/verify correct
		breaker size according to appliance amp draw rating and type of breaker used.
	C.	Circuit breakers for 3-phase (3ø) dryers must be 3-pole type.

Grounding

A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed in accordance with local, state, and national regulations or codes of the country of origin. In the absence of these codes, grounding must conform to applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canada Standards: Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or 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 (size per local codes) 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 nonmetallic interruptions, such as, a meter, pump, plastic, rubber, or other insulating connectors, they must be jumped out with a wire (size per local codes) 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.

Electrical Connections

A wiring diagram is located behind the control panel for connection data.

If local codes permit, power to the dryer can be made by the use of a flexible UL listed power cord/pigtail (wire size must conform to rating of dryer), or the dryer can be hard wired directly to the service breaker panel. In both cases, a strain relief must be installed where the wiring enters the dryer.

For CE Models Only

The means for disconnection from the supply must be incorporated into wiring having a minimum contact separation of 3.0 mm in all poles.

Single-Phase (1ø)

Wiring Connections/Hookup

The electrical input connections are made into the rear service box located at the upper right area of the dryer. The ground connection is made to the copper lug, also provided in this box. To gain access, the service box cover must be removed.

Gas and Steam Models Only

120-240V Application with Neutral

200-240V Application without Neutral

Caution

!The dryer must be grounded. A ground lug has been provided for this purpose.

Input connection wiring must be sized properly to handle the dryer’s current draw. This information is printed on the dryer’s data label.

Important: A strain relief must be used where the input wiring enters the oven assembly.

Electrically Heated Models Only

The electrical input connections are made at the rear service box located at the right upper section of the dryer. The ground connection is made to a copper lug also provided in this area. To gain access, remove rear service cover.

The only electrical input connections to the dryer are the 3-phase (3ø) power leads (L1, L2, L3, and sometimes neutral) and ground. Single-phase (1ø) power for the control circuit and for any single-phase (1ø) motors (if present) is done internally to the dryer by the factory at the oven contactor. No single-phase (1ø) input connection is required on a 3-phase (3ø) dryer.

The neutral will only be used on 4-wire service. This is typical for 380-416V, 50 Hz.

Caution

!The dryer must be grounded. A ground lug has been provided for this purpose.
