The illustration below shows the minimum cross-sectional
area for multiple dryer round or square venting. These
figures must be increased if the main duct run from the last
dryer to where it exhausts to the outdoors is longer than 12
feet (3.66 meters) or has more than 1 elbow in it.

Electrical Requirements
All electrical connections must be made by a properly
licensed and competent electrician. This is to ensure that
the electrical installation is adequate and conforms to local,
state, and national regulations or codes of the country of
destination. In the absence of such codes, all electrical
connections, materials, and workmanship must conform to
the applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION or in Canada, the
Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or
LATEST EDITION.
IMPORTANT: Failure to comply with these codes or
ordinances, 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, which could
cause a fire hazard. 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 each pocket.
It is necessary to have a power disconnect for each dryer.
These disconnects must be located within 30 feet (9

Grounding
A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed
in accordance with local, state, and national regulations or
codes of the country of destination. In the absence of these
codes, grounding must conform to applicable requirements
of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST
EDITION, or in Canada, the installation must conform to
applicable Canada Standards: Canadian Electrical Codes
Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION. The
ground connection may be to a proven earth ground at the
location service panel.
Electrical Connections
A wiring diagram is located behind the control panel with
connection data.
If local codes permit, power to the dryer can be made by the
use of a flexible UL listed power cord/pigtail (wire size must
conform to rating of dryer), or the dryer can be hard wired
directly to the service breaker panel. In both cases, a strain
relief must be installed where the wiring enters the dryer.
