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 metal-to-metal
connection ALL the way to the electrical ground. If there are
any nonmetallic 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.
IMPORTANT:
For personal safety and proper operation, the
dryer must be grounded.
Provisions are made for ground connection in each dryer at
the electrical service connection area.
Electrical Connections
A wiring diagram is located inside the control box for
connection data.
If local codes permit, power to the dryer can be made by the
use of a flexible U.L. listed power cord/pigtail (wire size must
conform to rating of dryer), or the dryer can be hard wired
directly to the service breaker panel. In both cases, a strain
relief must be installed where the wiring enters the dryer.
Gas and Steam Models Only
IMPORTANT:
A separate protected circuit must be provided
to each dryer.
Single-Phase (1ø) Wiring Connections/Hookup
The electrical input connections on ALL single-phase
(1ø) gas dryers and steam dryers are made into the rear
service box located at the upper left area of the dryer.
