Bosch WTMC8321US/CN - Manual (Page 7)

Connecting 3-wire power supply
cord
1. Remove the screws from the cover
of the terminal block located at the
top rear of the appliance.
2. Make sure that there is
a grounding strap.
3. Fix the strain relief clamp to the
angle bracket. Tighten the nut.
4. Loosen the 2 screws labeled L and
the screw labeled N in the terminal
block.
5. Thread the 3-wire cable through
the U.L. strain relief clamp.
6. Tighten the screws (2.5 Nm) on the
U.L. strain relief clamp so that the
power cord cannot be moved.
7. Attach the 2 power cord outer
conductors (red and black) to the 2
terminals labeled L and the
remaining power cord conductor
(white) to the terminal labeled N.
8. Tighten all 3 screws (3 Nm) so that
the power conductors are held in
place securely.
9. Check the U.L. strain relief clamp
to make sure that it is tight and
cannot be turned.
10. Replace the cover on the terminal
block and fasten in place.
0 Make sure that the U.L. strain relief
clamp is outside the cover!
Additional grounding procedure
- Some local regulations may
require a separate ground. In such
cases, the required accessory
ground wire, clamp and screw
must be purchased separately.
- Never ground the dryer to plastic
plumbing lines, gas lines or water
pipes.
Grounding instruction
This appliance must be grounded. In
the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for the electric
current.
For Canada the dryer comes with a
cord which has an equipment
grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet which has been
properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local regulations
and ordinances.
A
WARNING
A
Improper connection of the
equipment grounding conductor
may result in electric shock.
Have the appliance checked by
a qualified electrician or service
technician if you are in doubt as
to whether the dryer has been
properly grounded.
Exhaust air connection
A
WARNING
A
1. To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer
MUST BE EXHAUSTED
OUTDOORS.
2. To reduce the risk of fire, do not
use the ductwork longer than
recommended.
3. DO NOT use a plastic or
non-metal duct with this dryer.
4. DO NOT use a duct smaller than 4
inches in diameter.
5. DO NOT use exhaust hoods with
magnetic latches.
6. DO NOT exhaust the dryer into a
chimney, furnace cold air duct,
attic, crawl space, or any other
ductwork used for venting.
7. DO NOT install a flexible duct in an
enclosed wall, ceiling or floor.
8. DO NOT crush or kink the duct.
9. Do clean and inspect the exhaust
system on a regular basis; at least
once a year.
10. The exhaust duct must terminate
in a manner to prevent back drafts
or entry of birds or other wildlife.
The Bosch dryers are intended to be
vented outdoors. To prevent build-up
of moisture and accumulation of lint
indoors, as well as to maintain
maximum drying efficiency, it is
recommended that the dryer is vented
outdoors.
Exhaust air outlet on the dryer
The dryer is delivered with an exhaust
air outlet on the rear of the appliance.
To take account of the spatial
requirements and an existing exhaust
air system, the following connection
options are possible for the exhaust air
outlet:
-
on right side of the appliance,
- on the underside of the appliance.
2 - Exhaust air outlet on the side (optional)
3 - Exhaust air outlet on the underside of the
appliance (optional)
Special exhaust air connections must
be obtained from your dealer or part
supplier for either connection type (see
page 8).
-
Side exhaust kit
- Bottom exhaust kit
A qualified technician should change
the exhaust air outlet to the optional
connection location.
Ductwork
To ensure optimum performance, the
ducting system of the dryer should be
as short as possible with a minimum
number of elbows. Your dryer will work
best when the venting system has as
few air flow restrictions as possible.
Exhaust ducting which is longer than
recommended may extend drying time,
cause lint to accumulate and affect
dryer performance and dryer life-time.
Four-inch (approx. 100 mm) diameter
ducting should be used. Use either
rigid metal or flexible metal ducting
material.
DO NOT use plastic or non-metal duct
with this dryer.
