Before you start...
Important: Observe all
governing codes and
ordinances.
Check location
where dryer will
be installed. Proper Installation is
your responsibility. The dryer
must not be installed or stored in
an area where It will be
exposed to water and/or
weather. Make sure you have
everything necessary for
correct installation.
Grounded electrlcal supply Is
required. See ‘ElectrIcal
requlrements,” Panels A-C.
Electrlcal Shock Hazard
It Is the customer’s responslblllty:
l
To contact a quallfled electrlcal
Installer.

It is the personal responsibility and obligation
of the customer to contact a qualified
electrlcian to assure that the electrical
installation is adequate and is in
conformance with all local codes and
ordinances.
Parts supplied for
installation:
Remove parts from packages. Check that
all parts were included.
lt codes permit and a separate groundlng
wire Is used, It Is recommended that a
quallfled electrlclan determlne that the

A two-wire or three-wire, single-phase,
23Dvolt, 50-Hz, AC-only, 1 Sampere
electrical supply (or a three-wire, 240-volt,
60-Hz, 20-ampere electrical supply if
specified on serial/rating plate) is required
on a separate circuit. A time-delay fuse or
circuit breaker is recommended.
This appliance is equipped with a Schuko-
type power supply cord. To minimize
possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating wall receptacle. See
Figures 1 and 3, Panel B.

two-wire or three-wire flexible, armored or
non-metallic sheathed copper cable (with
grounding wire). Do Not use two-wire with
bare groundlng wire. All current carrying
wires must be Insulated.
A conduit connector must be installed at
the junction box. USE ONLY lo-GAUGE SOLID
COPPER WIRE. DO NOT USE ALUMINUM

This dryer is shipped from the factory with the
belt in the 50-Hz position on the motor drive
pulley. (Belt is in the groove nearest the
motor - the larger diameter position). It is
necessary to reposition the belt when
changing to a power supply having a
frequency of 60 Hz because the motor
speed is affected by the frequency of the
power supply.
