and/or the requirements stipulated in this manual can result in
personal injury or component failure.
NOTE: Component failure due to improper installation will void
the warranty.
Each pocket should be connected to an independently protected
branch circuit. The dryer must be connected with copper wire
only. Do not use aluminum wire. The copper conductor wire/
cable must be of proper ampacity and insulation in accordance
with electric codes for making all service connections.
NOTE: The use of aluminum wire will void the warranty.
An individual ground circuit must be provided to each pocket, do
not daisy chain.
Component failure due to improper voltage application will void
the warranty.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes in
specifications at any time without notice or obligation.
IMPORTANT: A separate protected circuit must be provided to
