Electrical requirements

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into an earthed outlet.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these
instructions can result in death,
fire or electrical shock.
Important: Observe all governing
codes and ordinances.
The dryer is fitted with an electricity
supply cord and plug. It should be
connected to an electricity supply socket
at the voltage shown on the rating plate.
The minimum supply fuse capacity
should be 5A. The dryer must be
positioned so that the plug is accessible.
If the fitted plug is not used, the electrical
connection must be carried out by a
competent electrician in accordance with
local or national codes.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced with a specially terminated cord
by an authorized service agent or a
similarly competent person in order to
avoid a hazard.
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.

Gas supply

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Connect this dryer to a regulated gas
supply. Supply pressure must be in
accordance with the Technical
Specification (see last page).
Use a new flexible gas supply line.
If L.P gas is used, have the L.P. gas
checked by a qualified person before
installing the dryer.
Failure to do so can result in death,
explosion, fire, or burns.
OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES
AND ORDINANCES.
Gas requirements:
Check that dryer is equipped with the
correct burner for the particular type of
gas supply. Burner information will be
found on the model/serial rating plate in
the door well of the dryer. If this
information does not agree with the type
of gas available, see your dealer.
Natural Gas:
This dryer is factory adjusted for use
with NATURAL GAS (G20), and no
further adjustment should be required at
installation.
L.P. Gas:
This dryer is also certified for use with
L.P (propane or butane) gases with
appropriate conversion. No attempt
shall be made to convert the appliance
from the gas specified on the
model/serial rating plate for use with a
different gas without consulting the
serving gas supplier.
Conversion must be done by a
competent service technician. Gas
conversion kit, part number 279918,
is available for purchase from your
dealer. Full instructions are supplied
with the kit.
Supply line requirements:
Provide a rigid gas supply line to the
dryer location. It should be minimum
12.5 mm (1/2 inch) ID. When acceptable
to the gas supplier and local codes,
10 mm (3/8-inch) ID rigid supply line
may be used for lengths under 6.1 m
(20 feet). Pipe-joint compounds resistant
to the action of L.P gas must be used.
Gas connection to the dryer itself should
be made by means of a flexible gas
hose suitable for the appliance and gas
category. It should be minimum 10 mm
(3/8") ID. A means of restraint should be
used between the appliance and the
wall to prevent straining of the rigid gas
supply when the appliance is moved. An
appropriate length of chain and a wall
hook is recommended.

The dryer gas inlet connection is a 3/8"
NPT thread. An adapter is supplied for
conversion to standard ISO.228-1 thread
(3/8" BSP).
Check for leaks as directed by local or
national regulations. DO NOT use a
naked flame to check for gas leaks. A
pressure measurement tapping is
provided on the gas valve within the
dryer, accessible after removal of the
lower front panel.
The dryer must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system.
