Electrical Information _________________
Electrical Requirements
It is your responsibility to have all electrical connections made
by a properly licensed and competent electrician to assure
that the electrical installation is adequate and conforms to
local and state regulations or codes. 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, 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.
A separate circuit servicing each dryer must be provided. The
dryer must be connected to copper wire only. Do not use
aluminum wire, which could cause a fire hazard.
NOTE:
The use of aluminum wire will void the warranty.
Grounding
A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed
in accordance with state and local codes. 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 (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 electrical ground. If there are any
nonmetallic interruptions, such as, a meter, pump, plastic,
rubber, or other insulating connectors, they must be jumped
with no. 4 copper wire and securely clamped to bare metal at
both ends.
IMPORTANT:
For personal safety and proper operation, the
dryer must be grounded.
Electrical Connections
A wire diagram is located on the inside of the control (service)
box for connection data.
Single-Phase (1Ø) Hookup
The electrical connections on all single-phase (1Ø) dryers
are made into the junction box located at the top of the dryer
(refer to specification drawing on page 7 for exact location). A
separate circuit servicing each dryer tumbler must be
provided.

Providing local codes permit, power to the dryer can be made
by use of a flexible UL listed power cord or pigtail (wire size
must conform to the rating of the 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.
