Electrical Information ________________
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 and state
regulations or codes. 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 dryer should be connected to an independently protected
branch circuit (each pocket can be independently wired, if you
prefer). 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.
IMPORTANT: A separate protected circuit must be provided
to each dryer.
NOTE: An individual ground circuit must be provided to
each dryer, do not daisy chain.
IMPORTANT: The dryer must be connected to the electric
supply shown on the data label. In the case of 208 VAC or
240 VAC, the supply voltage must match the electric service
specifications of the data label exactly. The amp draw listed
on data plate is per pocket.
The wire size must be properly sized to handle the related
current.
WARNING
!
208 VAC and 240 VAC are not the same. Any damage
done to dryer components due to improper voltage
connections will automatically void the warranty.
NOTE: 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:
208 VAC AND 230/240 VAC ARE NOT THE SAME. When ordering,
specify exact voltage.
NOTES:
A.
When fuses are used they must be dual element, time delay, current
limiting, class RK1 or RK5 ONLY . Calculate/determine correct fuse
value, by applying either local and/or National Electrical Codes to
listed appliance amp draw data.
B.
Circuit breakers are thermal-magnetic (industrial) motor curve type
ONLY . For others, calculate/verify correct breaker size according to
appliance amp draw rating and type of breaker used.
C.
Circuit breakers for 3-phase (3ø) dryers must be 3-pole type.

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-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.
For added personal safety, when possible, it is suggested that
a separate ground wire (size per local codes) be connected
from the ground connection of the dryer to a grounded cold
water pipe. Do not ground to a gas pipe or hot water pipe.
The grounded cold water pipe must have metal-to-metal
connection all the way to the electrical ground. If there are
any nonmetallic interruptions, such as, a meter, pump, plastic,
rubber, or other insulating connectors, they must be jumped
out with a wire (size per local codes) and securely clamped to
bare metal at both ends.
IMPORTANT: For personal safety and proper operation, the
dryer must be grounded.
Provisions are made for ground connection in each dryer at
the electrical service connection area.
