WARNING
Fire Hazard
This dryer must be earthed.
Securely tighten all electrical
connections.
Failure to do so can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
This is a 3-wire appliance which
must be earthed.
For dryers 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
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).
Important: Observe all governing
codes and ordinances.
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.
