If multiple units are exhausted into a common duct:
1. An exhaust cross-section area of 82cm
2
(12.6
2
) is required per dryer. This will allow for free air movement
should all dryers be operated simultaneously.
2. A power exhaust may be used on multiple installations.
3. Ducts larger than 100mm (4) diameter can result in increased lint accumulation. Such lint accumulation
should be cleaned regularly.
4. Exhaust ducting should be kept as short and direct as possible.
The operating pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 23mm (0.92) water gauge, or be less than 0.
This can be measured with the dryer(s) operating, by inserting a manometer connection at the point where
the exhaust duct connects to the dryer (a no-heat setting should be used, without clothes loaded and with a
clean lint filter).
Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year. Disconnect from the electricity
supply prior to cleaning. Check the gas supply connection any time the dryer is moved. Frequently check to
be sure the exhaust hood flap opens and closes freely.
5. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WARNING: This is a 3-wire appliance which must be earthed.
Note: Single and stacked pair dryers are intended to be supplied by one electricity supply cord. The elec-
trical connection procedure is the same for both.
Each single and stacked pair gas dryer is fitted with an electrical supply cord and plug. It should be connected
to an electricity supply socket at the voltage shown on the dataplate. The minimum supply fuse capacity
should be 5A for single or 10A for stacked pair dryers. The dryer must be positioned so that the plug is
accessible. If the fitted plug is not used, the electrical connection must be carried out by a competent
electrician in accordance with local or national wiring regulations.
For Australia, each single electric dryer is fitted with a 20A cord and plug, and should be plugged into a suitable
electrical socket at the voltage shown on the dataplate.
Do not use extension lead assemblies on commercial installations.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a specially terminated cord by an authorized service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a
hazard.
Each electric dryer for other countries is supplied with-
out an electric cord and plug. They must be connected
to a single-phase electricity supply at the voltage shown
on the dataplate, by a suitable fixed wiring installation in
accordance with local and national wiring regulations. A
switch with a minimum contact separation of 3mm in
both poles must be incorporated into the fixed wiring for
dryer disconnection. A cord clamp bush is provided with
the dryer, and should be tightened on completion of
wiring. The electrical mains terminals are located
behind the small rear access panel, and connections
should be made as shown in the figure. Remember to
replace the terminal access panel.
Electric Single Dryer: A 3-wire circular cord of
minimum conductor size 2.5mm
2
cross-section area
should be used. A 30A supply fuse should be used.
Electric Dryer/Dryer: A 3-wire cable of minimum
conductor size 6.0mm
2
cross-section area should be
used. A 60A supply fuse should be used.
