IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes
and ordinances.
This dryer is supplied without an electric
cord and plug. It must be connected by a
competent electrician to a single-phase
electricity supply at the voltage shown on
the dataplate, using a suitable fixed wiring
installation in accordance with local and
national wiring regulations. 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,
and a switch with a minimum contact
separation of 3mm in both poles must be
incorporated into the fixed wiring for dryer
disconnection. This disconnection switch
should be accessible to the user after
installation. A cord clamp bush is provided
on the dryer, and should be tightened on
completion of wiring. The electrical mains
terminals are located behind the small rear
access panel (terminal block cover), and
connections should be made in
accordance with the terminal markings.
Remember to replace the terminal access
panel (terminal block cover).
If codes permit and an additional earth
bond wire is used, it is recommended that
a competent electrician determine that the
earth bond path is adequate.
