IMPORTANT: A separate circuit servicing each dryer must be provided.
2. ELECTRICAL SERVICE SPECIFICATIONS
IMPORTANT: The dryer must be connected to the electric supply shown on the data label that is
affixed to the back of the dryer in the upper right hand corner. In the case of 208
VAC or 230/240 VAC, the supply voltage must match the electric service
specifications of the data label exactly.
IMPORTANT: The wire size must be properly sized to handle the related current.
WARNING: 208 VAC and 230/240 VAC ARE NOT THE SAME. Any damage done to dryer
components due to improper voltage connections will automatically VOID THE
WARRANTY.
NOTE: For electrically heated models contact the factory for electrical service specifications.
NOTE: ADC reserves the right to make changes in specifications at any time, without notice or obligation.
3. 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 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 a metal to metal connection all the
way to the electrical ground. If there are any non- metallic 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.
GAS ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS (Per Dryer)†
