GAS DRYER INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Gas Dryer Electrical Requirements
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
NOTE: In accordance with the European EMC Directive
(2014/30/EU), the maximum electricity supply system impedance to
which the gas dryer should be connected is declared to be
0.054 Ohm + j0.034 Ohm.
NOTE: Electrical safety standards: The manufacturer has chosen
compliance with IEC/EN 60335 standards as the most appropriate
for this product.
The washer/dryer is supplied without an electric cord and plug. It
must be connected by a competent electrician to a single-phase
electricity supply at the voltage shown on the dataplate, using a
suitable fixed wiring installation in accordance with local and national
wiring regulations.
n A 3-wire circular cord of minimum conductor
size 2.5 mm (14 AWG) cross-section area should be used.
2
n The electrical mains terminals are located behind the small rear
access panel (terminal block cover), and connections should be
made in accordance with the terminal markings.
Insure that a 3980399 Square Washer (part of furnished
•
W10545880 Bag Assembly - Square Washer) is installed
between the head of the terminal screw head and the
terminal tab. To install, remove the screw, place the square
washer on the screw, and partially reinsert the screw. To
minimize the potential for cross-threading, initially rotate the
screw counterclockwise and then rotate clockwise. Bare
wire must be placed between the square washer and the
terminal tab and secured by the screw.
Torque to 4 Nm (35 in-lbf) minimum.

Square Nut
Terminal
This is 3-wire appliance which must be earthed.
If a crimped wire terminal is used instead of bare wire, it
•
must be located between the screw head and terminal tab.
Remove the screw and place the crimped contact on the
terminal tab with the crimp seam up, then reinsert the screw.
To minimize the potential for cross-threading, initially rotate
the screw counterclockwise and then rotate clockwise until
secure. Torque to 4 Nm (35 in-lbf) minimum.
n A 10 A supply fuse should be used, and a switch having a
contact separation in both poles that provides full disconnection
under over-voltage category III conditions must be incorporated
into the fixed wiring in accordance with local wiring regulations.
The washer/dryer should be positioned so that the disconnection
switch is clearly visible and easily accessible to the user.
This disconnection switch also provides the function of an
emergency stop control for the user.
n A cord clamp bush is provided on the washer/dryer, and should
be tightened on completion of wiring. Remember to replace the
terminal access panel (terminal block cover).
If codes permit and an additional earth bond wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the earth
bond path is adequate.
Recommended Earthing Method
It is your responsibility to contact a qualified electrical installer to
ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance
with all local codes and ordinances.
