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 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

NOTE: In accordance with the European EMC Directive
(2004/108/EC), the maximum electricity 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 dryer.

If codes permit and an additional earth bond wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the earth
bond path is adequate.
AUSTRALIA ONLY
For Australia, each single electric dryer is fitted with a cord
and plug, with conductors of 2.5 mm
and should be plugged into a suitable electrical socket at the
voltage shown on the dataplate. Do not use extension lead
assemblies on commercial installations. If the supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced with a specially terminated cord
by an authorized service agent or a similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard. Each electric dryer for other countries
is supplied without an electric cord and plug.
