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 (no. 18 minimum) 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 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.
Provisions are made for ground connection in each dryer at
the electrical service connection area.
Electrical Connections
A wiring diagram is located inside the control box for
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.
Gas and Steam Models Only
Important
A separate protected circuit must be provided to
each dryer.
Single-Phase (1ø)
Wiring Connections/Hookup
The electrical input connections on all single-phase (1ø) gas
dryers and steam dryers are made into the rear service box
located at the upper left area of the dryer.
