INSTALLATION

UNPACKING, LEVELING, & POSITIONING

Remove the packing and check that the dryer is undamaged. If you have any doubt, do not use the dryer and call Equator Customer Service. Keep all packing parts (plastic bag, foam rubber, screws, etc.) out of the reach of children since they could be dangerous.

Important: The inside of the dryer consists of a free floating drum that is affixed with shipping bolts at the back of the cabinet (Fig.1) during transport. Before starting the machine, remember to remove the shipping bolts. To prevent any external pollutants from entering the machine, remember to close the holes left open by the bolts with the plastic caps provided in the packet containing the Owner’s Manual.

It is important for the machine to be perfectly level. For this reason, the machine is fitted with adjustable feet used for leveling the machine before use (Fig.2).

In the case of flooring with carpeting, remember to check that there is sufficient ventilation around the machine.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Connect the plug to a power outlet – 110V/60Hz with minimum 15 Amps. Make sure that the voltage and frequency available correspond with those stated on the serial number plate located on the machine. Do not use adaptors or extension cords since they could result in overheating and burn out.

GROUNDING

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a power cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNINGS

-Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified or service representative or personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

-Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance: if it will not fit the outlet, have

a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
