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, state, and
national regulations or codes of the country of origin. 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 pocket.
These disconnects must be located within 9 meters of the
unit 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. In the case of 208 VAC or 230/240 VAC,
the supply voltage must match the electric service
specifications of the data label exactly.
The wire size must be properly sized to handle the related
current.
Warning
!
208 VAC and 230/240 VAC are not the same. Any
damage done to dryer components due to
improper voltage connections will automatically void the
warranty.
112809 - 6
Warning (Gas Models Only)
!
Dryers built for use with a voltage between 200
and 230/240 must verify the input voltage during
installation. If the nominal voltage is outside of the
medium tolerances shown on the diagram below, adjust
the autotransformers, located near the burner
assemblies. To adjust
the autotransformer
wiring, place the red
wire on the appropriate
tap (HIGH, MED, LOW) of
the autotransformer. For
additional wiring details,
refer to the electrical
diagram located on the
inside of the control
panel.

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.

Electric Models Only
All electrically heated dryers must be connected to the electric
service shown on the dryer's data label. The connecting
wires must be properly sized to handle the rated current.
Grounding
A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed
in accordance with local, state, and national regulations or
codes of the country of origin. 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.
