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 30A supply fuse should be used, and a switch with a
minimum contact separation of 3 mm in both poles must be
incorporated into the fixed wiring for dryer disconnection.
■ 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).
If codes permit and an additional earth bond wire is used, it is
recommended that a competent electrician determine that the
earth bond path is adequate.
