4-WIRE RECEPTACLE

For a 4-wire hook-up, the frame of a 120/240 volt machine must NOT be connected to neutral terminals. It MUST be connected to the 4th wire (green) of the power supply or to the metallic covering of a 3-wire supply.

If a 4-wire receptacle of NEMA

type is used, a matching U.L. list-

must be used. This cord contains

with spade or ring terminals on the dryer end. The 4th (grounding) conductor must be identified by a green cover and the neutral conductor by a white cover. The cord should have a suitable strain relief, and should be a minimum 4 feet long. The power supply cord and strain relief are not provided with the dryer.

4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTIONS

1.Remove the terminal block cover.

2.Remove the ground strap screw from the terminal block support. Fold the ground strap over so both ends of the ground strap are attached to the center terminal block post.

3.Connect the neutral (white) wire of the power supply cord to the center (silver colored) terminal of the terminal block. Connect the grounding (green) wire of the cord to the terminal block support using the ground strap screw.

4.Connect the other two wires of the cord to the outer terminals of the terminal block.

5.Replace the terminal block cover.

208 VOLT OPERATION

A stacked washer/dryer model is available for 208 volt operation.

Canadian Models

All Canadian models are shipped with the power cord attached. The dryer power cord should be plugged into a 30 ampere receptacle and fused through a 30 ampere fuse or comparable circuit breaker on both sides of the line.

NOTE: It is not permissible to convert a dryer in Canada to 208 volts. A 208 volt model is not available for Canada.

WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN

WATER SUPPLY

The water supply to the washer unit should be capable of providing both adequate water pressure and water temperature. The pressure should fall within the range of 20 pounds per square inch to 120 pounds per square inch when the washer is filling. Note that this is flow pressure and not static pressure. Low water pressure will result in slow fill and could result in a water valve sticking open after a fill.

The recommended temperature of the hot water as delivered to the washer should be 140° F.

Warm water temperature is a result of the mix of the hot and cold water supplies. The final temperature is dependent on both the pressure and the temperatures of the hot and cold supplies. The desired temperature for warm is between 100° F. and 105° F.

DRAIN FACILITIES

The drain must be capable of accepting a flow rate of approximately 20 gallons per minute. An inside diameter of at least 1 1/2 inches is required.
