You will need an earthed electrical outlet located within
610 mm (2 feet) of either side of the dryer.
This dryer is supplied/fitted with an electrical supply cord and
plug. It should be connected to electrical supply socket at the
voltage shown on the rating plate. The minimum supply fuse
capacity should be 5A. The dryer must be positioned so that
the plug is clearly visible and accessible. This plug also provides
the function of an emergency stop control for the user. If
the fitted plug is not used, the electrical connection must be
carried out by a competent electrician in accordance with local
or national codes.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a
specially terminated cord by an authorized service agent
or a similarly competent person in order to avoid a hazard.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: In accordance with the European EMC Directive
(2004/108/EC), the maximum electricity supply system
impedance to which the gas dryer should be connected
is declared to be 0.29 Ohm + j0.18 Ohm.
NOTE: Electrical safety standards: The manufacturer has
chosen compliance with IEC/EN.60335 standards as the most
appropriate for this dryer.
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.
