Step 1 — Remove Cover
Using wrench provided, remove two tamper-proof fasteners from sides
of dryer cover. Remove cover from dryer.
Step 2 — Attach Wall Plate to Wall
Attach wall plate to wall using the recommended fasteners shown in
Table 2. Install a fastener at each corner of the wall plate. In locations
where vandalism is a concern, install two additional mounting fasteners
at the locations shown in the rough-in on page 2. Remove control
assembly to access the right side mounting hole.
Step 3 — Connect Electrical Wiring
Connect a 110/120V dryer to a 15 Amp. branch circuit using at least
#12 GA copper wire. (Do not exceed a 20 Amp. branch circuit).
Connect a 220/240V dryer to no more than a 15 Amp. branch circuit
using at least a #14 GA copper wire. Attach lines to terminals as
indicated by the schematic inside dryer cover. Be sure that an
equipment ground wire is securely fastened to green ground screw on
base plate. For runs over 50 feet or for multiple installations, increase
the size of the wire used. Dryers located in shower rooms or other wet
locations should be installed with circuits protected by ground fault
interrupter(s) or as local codes require.
Step 4 — Replace Cover
For multiple installations, before replacing cover, check the Serial
Number marked inside the dryer to be sure it matches the Serial
Number marked on the label at the bottom of cover. DO NOT SWITCH
COVERS. Install Cover using the two tamper-proof fasteners.
Leave the special TAMPER PROOF WRENCH with the owner.
NOTE: If the dryer will not turn on, stays on or stops working, it may be mounted
too close to a counter or object. Turn off power to dryer for 10 seconds
and then reapply power. If dryer starts, then turn off again, relocate the
object or remount dryer. If this is not possible, adjust the range of the
sensor by turning the potentiometer on the control board clockwise to
decrease sensor range. Please contact the Sloan Installation Engineering
Department at 1-888-SLOAN-14 (1-888-756-2614) and one of our
trained technicians will be happy to assist you.
