INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
a. Electric Service – Gas and Steam Dryers
IMPORTANT: The dryer must be connected to the electrical supply shown on the data label
affixed to the dryer. In the case of 208 VAC or 240 VAC, the supply voltage must
match the electric service specifications of the data label exactly.
WARNING: 208 VAC and 240 VAC ARE NOT THE SAME. Any damage has done to dryer
components due to improper voltage connections will automatically VOID THE
WARRANTY.
NOTE: On gas dryers, to convert from 208 VAC to 240 VAC (or vice versa), the direct spark
ignition (DSI) transformer wiring must be changed.
b. Electric Service – Electrically Heated Dryers
All electrically heated dryers must be connected to the electric supply, service shown on the
dryer's data label which is affixed to the back side of the control (service) door. The connecting
wires must be properly sized to handle the rated current.
NOTE: Component failure due to improper voltage application will. VOID THE WARRANTY.
3. Grounding
A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed in accordance with state and
local codes. In the absence of these codes, grounding must conform to applicable requirements of
the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA NO.70 – 1984). The ground connection may be to a
proven earth ground at the location service panel.
For added personal safety, when possible, it is suggested that a separate ground wire (no.18
minimum) be connected from the ground connection of the dryer to a grounded cold water pipe.
DO NOT ground to a gas pipe. The grounded cold water pipe must have metal to metal connection
all the way to electrical ground. If there are any nonmetallic interruptions, such as, a meter, pump,
plastic, rubber, or other insulating connectors, they must be jumped with no.4 copper wire and
securely clamped to bare metal at both ends.
IMPORTANT: For personal safety and proper operation, the dryer must be grounded.
4. Electrical Connections
A wire diagram is located on the back side of the control (service) door for connection data.
a. Gas and Steam – single – Phase (1Ø) Hookup
The electrical connections on all single – phase gas (1Ø) and steam dryers are made into the
junction box located at the upper rear of the dryer.
