Electrical Requirements
All electrical connections must be made by a properly licensed
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. 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 pocket.
These disconnects must be located within 30' (9 m) of the
dryer and also be identified as being one of two power sources
supplying a dryer.
The dryer must be connected to the electric supply shown on
the data label.

Grounding
A ground 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.
Fire Hazard
Use appropriate gauge of copper wire (See chart in
"Electrical Requirements" section).
Use a UL listed strain relief.
Disconnect power before making electrical connections.
Electrically ground appliance per installation
instructions.
Securely tighten all connections.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electrical
shock.
Single-Phase (1ø) Wiring Connections / Hookup
The electrical input connections are made into the rear service
box located at the top of the dryer. To gain access, the service
box cover must be removed. (Refer to the specification drawing
in "Specifications" section of manual.)
