Electrical Requirements
This dryer is supplied without an electric cord and plug. It must be connected by a competent electrician to a
■A
■A 30A supply fuse should be used, and a switch having a contact separation in both poles that provides full disconnection under
■A cord clamp bush is provided on the dryer, and should be tightened on completion of wiring. The electrical mains terminals are located behind the small rear access panel (terminal block cover), and connections should be made in accordance with the terminal markings. Remember to replace the terminal access panel (terminal block cover).
NOTE: In accordance with the European EMC Directive (2004/108/EC), the maximum electricity supply system impedance to which the electric dryer should be connected is declared to be 0.302 Ohm + j0.189 Ohm.
If codes permit and an additional earth bond wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the earth bond path is adequate.
Recommended Earthing Method
■It is your responsibility to contact a qualified electrical installer to ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with all local codes and ordinances.
Venting Requirements
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Use a heavy metal vent.
Do not use a plastic vent.
Do not use a metal foil vent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED OUTDOORS.
■Adequate ventilation has to be provided to avoid the backflow of gases into the room from appliances burning other fuels, including open fires (i.e. available airflow into the room should match airflow out from the room).
■The dryer vent must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels, chimney, wall, ceiling, or a concealed space of a building.
■Do not use an exhaust hood with a magnetic latch.
■Do not install flexible metal vent in enclosed walls, ceilings, or floors.
■102 mm (4") heavy metal vent and clamps must be used.
■Use clamps to seal all joints. Vent must not be connected or secured with screws or other fastening devices which extend into the interior of the vent. Do not use duct tape.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Use a heavy metal vent. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
Rigid metal vent is recommended to prevent crushing and kinking.
Flexible metal vent must be fully extended and supported when the dryer is in its final position. Remove excess flexible metal vent to avoid sagging and kinking that may result in reduced airflow and poor performance.
An exhaust hood should cap the vent to prevent rodents and insects from entering the home or business.
Exhaust hood must be at least 30.5 cm (12") from the ground or any object that may be in the path of the exhaust (such as flowers, rocks, or bushes).
If using an existing vent system, clean lint from the entire length of the system and make sure exhaust hood is not plugged with lint. Replace any plastic or metal foil vent with rigid metal or flexible metal vent.
