REQUIREMENTS
Stacked Washer/Electric Dryer Electrical
Requirements
This washer/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.
n A 3-wire circular cord of minimum conductor size 2.5 mm
cross-section area should be used.
n 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 washer/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.
n A cord clamp bush is provided on the washer/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.
