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 (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.
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
and steam dryers are made into the rear service box located
at the upper left area of the dryer. The ground connection is
made to the copper lug, also provided in this box. To gain
access, the service box cover must be removed.
