Electrical Requirements For Dryer; Grounding - Asko TLS752 XXL Operating Instructions Manual

Installation Instructions
Electrical requirements for dryers
Caution!
To help prevent fire, electric shock, serious
injury or death, the wiring and grounding
must conform to the latest edition of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
(for the US) or the Canadian Electrical
Code CSA C22.1 (for the Canada) and all
applicable local regulations.
Please contact a qualified electrician to
check your home's wiring and fuses to
ensure that your home has adequate
electrical power to operate the dryer.

Grounding

• The dryer must be grounded. In the
event of malfunction or breakdown, the
ground will reduce the risk of electrical
shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electrical current.
• The dryer must be connected to a
grounded metal, permanent wiring
system or an equipment grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the dryer.
• The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Gas models
• Please note that the wiring diagram is
provided inside the dryer control hood.
Label all wires prior to disconnection
when servicing the dryer. Wiring errors
can cause serious injury to you and your
dryer.
• Use separately fused circuits for washers
and dryers, and do not operate a washer
and a dryer on the same circuit.
• Your dryer has a cord with an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding
plug.
Electric models
• If a power cord is not used and the
electric dryer is to be permanently
wired, the dryer must be connected to
a permanent grounded metal wiring
system, or an equipment grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the
equipment grounding terminal.
Caution!
• Never connect ground wire to plastic
plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water
pipes.
• Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are
in doubt as to whether your dryer is
properly grounded.
• Do not modify the plug provided with
your dryer – if it doesn't fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
• If your laundry room does not meet the
specifications required by this manual, or
if you are uncertain whether or not your
laundry room meets these specifications,
please have a qualified service person
or qualified service company review your
laundry rooms electrical supply for any
problems.
