ELECTRICAL SERVICE SPECIFICATIONS (PER POCKET)

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) motor curve type ONLY. For others, calculate/verify correct breaker size according to appliance amp draw rating and type of breaker used.

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.

Grounding

1/15/09

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.

Gas Information _______________________

It is your responsibility to have all plumbing connections, materials, and workmanship conform to local and state regulations or codes of the country of destination. In the absence of such codes, all plumbing connections, materials, and workmanship must conform to the applicable local requirements. In the USA this is the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION, or in Canada, the Canadian Installation Codes CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGAB149.2-M91 (L.P. Gas) or LATEST EDITION.

In Australia, the fuel gas code is AS 5601/AG 601, local authority, gas, electricity, and any other relevant statutory regulations.

It is important that gas pressure regulators meet applicable pressure requirements, and that gas meters be rated for the total amount of all the appliance Btu being supplied.

Important

!Failure to comply with these codes or ordinances, and/or the requirements stipulated in this manual,

can result in personal injury and improper operation of the dryer.

For ease of service, the individual gas supply line of each dryer must have its own manual shutoff valve.

Failure to isolate or disconnect the dryer from supply as noted can cause irreparable damage to the gas valve, voiding the warranty.

The dryer and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) for non-CE dryers or 50 mb for CE dryers.

Note

!The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual

shutoff valve during any pressure test of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) for non-CE dryers or 50 mb for CE dryers.
