ELECTRIC DRYER
POWER HOOKUP
Electrical Requirements
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 data
plate, using a suitable fixed wiring installation in accordance
with local and national wiring regulations.
A 3-wire circular cord of minimum conductor size 4 mm
■
cross-section area should be used.
A 30A supply fuse should be used, and a switch having
■
a contact separation in both poles that provides full
disconnection under over-voltage category III conditions
must be incorporated into the fixed wiring in accordance
with local wiring regulations. The dryer should be positioned
so that the disconnection switch is clearly visible and easily
accessible to the user. This disconnection switch also
provides the function of an emergency stop control
for the user.
Use an IEC strain relief. It 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).
NOTE: In accordance with the European EMC Directive
(2014/30/EU), the maximum electricity supply system impedance
to which the electric dryer should be connected is declared
to be 0.191 + j0.119 Ohms.
NOTE: Electrical safety standards: The manufacturer has
chosen compliance with IEC/EN.60335 standards as the most
appropriate for this product.
This is 3-wire appliance which must be earthed.
If codes permit and an additional earth bond wire is used,
it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that
the earth bond path is adequate.
