ELECTRIC DRYER INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Electrical Requirements
This dryer is supplied without an electric cord and plug. It must
be connected by a competent electrician to a single-phase
electricity supply at the voltage shown on the dataplate, using
a suitable fixed wiring installation in accordance with local and
national wiring regulations.
■ A 3-wire circular cord of minimum conductor size 2.5 mm
cross-section area should be used.
■ A 25A (minimum) supply fuse should be used, and a switch
having a contact separation in both poles that provides full
disconnection under over-voltage category III conditions
must be incorporated into the fixed wiring in accordance
with local wiring regulations. The dryer should be positioned
so that the disconnection switch is clearly visible and easily
accessible to the user. This disconnection switch also
provides the function of an emergency stop control for
the user.
■ 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 electrical supply system
impedance to which the electric dryer should be connected
is declared to be 0.054 Ohm + j0.034 Ohm.
NOTE: Electrical safety standards: The manufacturer has
chosen compliance with IEC/EN.60335 standards as the most
appropriate for this product.
