GAS ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS (Per Dryer)†

IMPORTANT: 208 and 230/240 VAC are not the same. When ordering, specify exact voltage.

NOTES: A. Ratings are for dual element-time delay-current limiting, class RK1 and RK5 fuses ONLY.

B.Circuit breakers are thermal magnetic (industrial) type ONLY. For others, calculate and verify correct breaker size according to appliance amp draw rating and type of breaker to be used.

C. Circuit breakers for 3Ø dryers must be 3-pole type.

IMPORTANT: The dryer must be connected to the electric supply shown on the data label that is affixed to the back of the dryer in the upper right hand corner. In the case of 208 VAC or 230/240 VAC, the supply voltage must match the electric service specifications of the data label exactly.

IMPORTANT: The wire size must be properly sized to handle the related current.

WARNING: 208 VAC and 230/240 VAC ARE NOT THE SAME. Any damage done to dryer components due to improper voltage connections will automatically VOID THE WARRANTY.

NOTE: For electrically heated models contact the factory for electrical service specifications.

NOTE: ADC reserves the right to make changes in specifications at any time, without notice or obligation

3.GROUNDING

A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed in accordance with state and local codes. 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 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 (no. 18 minimum) 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 a metal to metal connection all the way to the electrical ground. If there are any non- metallic interruptions, such as a meter, pump, plastic, rubber, or other insulating connectors, they must be jumped out with no. 4 copper wire and securely clamped to bare metal at both ends.
