LATEST EDITION.
IMPORTANT: Failure to comply with these codes or ordinances, and/or the requirements stipulated in this manual can result in personal injury or component failure.
NOTE: Component failure due to improper installation will void the warranty.
Each pocket should be connected to an independently protected branch circuit. The dryer must be connected with copper wire only. Do not use aluminum wire. The copper conductor wire/cable must be of proper ampacity and insulation in accordance with electric codes for making all service connections.
NOTE: The use of aluminum wire will void the warranty.
An individual ground circuit must be provided to each pocket, do not daisy chain.
Component failure due to improper voltage application will void the warranty.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes in specifications at any time without notice or obligation.
IMPORTANT: A separate protected circuit must be provided to each pocket.
It is necessary to have a power disconnect for each pocket. These disconnects must be located within 30 feet (9 meters) of the dryer and also be identified as being one of two power sources supplying a dryer.
The dryer must be connected to the electric supply shown on the data label.

Grounding
A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed in accordance with local, state, and national regulations or codes of the country of destination. In the absence of these codes, grounding must conform to applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO.
Electrical Connections
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.
▲! WARNING
Fire Hazard Use 10 gauge solid copper wire. Use a UL listed strain relief.
Determine the top pocket electrical connections by checking wire label, which will be marked “top”.
Connect the top pocket white wire to the white wire from the top pocket
The remaining wires will be the bottom pocket connect as follows:
Connect the bottom pocket white wire to the white wire from the bottom pocket
Securely tighten all electrical connections.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Single-Phase (1ø)
Wiring Connections/Hookup
The electrical input connections are made into the rear service box located at the top rear of the dryer. To gain access, the service box cover must be removed.
120 Volt Application with Neutral
Remove 3 screws holding down electrical box plate at the top of the machine.
Remove 2 knockouts provided just in front of electrical box and insert 3/4” UL listed strain relief into the holes.
