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.

Electrically Heated Models Only
The electrical input connections are made at the electric oven
contactor located inside the assembly at the rear center upper
section of the dryer. The ground connection is made to a
copper lug also provided in this area. To gain access, remove
oven rear service cover.
The only electrical input connections to the dryer are the
3-phase (3ø) power leads (L1, L2, L3, and sometimes
neutral) and ground. Single-phase (1ø) power for the control
circuit and for any single-phase (1ø) motors (if present) is
done internally to the dryer by the factory at the oven contactor.
No single-phase (1ø) input connection is required on a
3-phase (3ø) dryer.
Caution
The dryer must be grounded. A ground lug has
been provided for this purpose.
Input connection wiring must be sized properly to handle the
dryer’s current draw. This information is printed on the dryer’s
data label.
Important
A strain relief must be used where the input
wiring enters the oven assembly.
