Electrical Requirements
This dryer is supplied without an electric cord and plug. It must
be connected by a competent electrician to a single-phase
electrical supply at the voltage shown on the dataplate, using
a suitable fixed wiring installation in accordance with local and
national wiring regulations.
A 3-wire circular cord of minimum conductor size 2.5 mm
■
cross-section area should be used.
A 30A supply fuse should be used. A switch having a
■
contact separation in both poles that provides full
disconnection under overvoltage category III conditions must
be incorporated into the fixed wiring for dryer disconnection.
The dryer should be positioned so that the disconnection
switch is easily accessible to the user.
A cord clamp bush is provided on the dryer, and 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
(2004/108/EC), the maximum electric supply system impedance
to which the electric dryer should be connected is declared to
be 0.29 Ohm + J 0.18 Ohm.
If codes permit and an additional earth bond wire is used, it is
recommended that a competent electrician determine that the
earth bond path is adequate.
