Dexter Laundry T-20X2 Mode D'emploi page 16

The sources of all make-up air and room ventilation air movement to all dryers must be located away from
any dry cleaners. This is necessary so that solvent vapors will not be drawn into the dryer inlet ducts. Dry
cleaner solvent vapors will decompose in contact with open flame such as the gas flame present in clothes
dryers. The decomposition products are highly corrosive and will cause damage to the dryer(s) ducts and
clothes loads.
The operation of this appliance may affect the operation of other types of gas appliances, which take their
air for safe combustion from the same room. Adequate ventilation must be provided to avoid back flow of
gasses from other appliances in the same room. All other gas appliances should be tested with the Dexter
dryer in operation and all the windows and doors closed. If in doubt consult the appliance
manufacturer(s).
4. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS. The electrical power requirements necessary to operate the unit satisfactorily are
listed on the serial plate located on the back panel of each dryer and in the specifications section of this
manual. The electrical connection should be made to the terminal board, on the rear of the unit. It is
absolutely necessary that the dryer be grounded to a known ground. Individual circuit breakers for each
stacked dryer are required. Dryer -15 models are adjusted for 120V as shipped. They can be converted
to 208-240V as required. Instructions for this conversion are located at this end of this manual.
The installer must provide a disconnect switch which will interrupt both lines. It may be a local or national
requirement to provide an electrical interruption switch visible and accessible from the room in which the dryer is
installed. The wiring diagram is located on the back of the door of the rear control box assembly of the dryer.
IMPORTANT: TRANSIENT VOLTAGE SURGE SUPPRESSORS
Like most electrical equipment, your new machine can be damaged or have its life shortened by voltage
surges due to lightning strikes which are not covered by factory warranty. Local power distribution
problems also can be detrimental to the life of electrical components. We recommend the installation of
transient voltage surge suppressors for your new equipment. These devices may be placed at the power
supply panel for the complete installation and don't require an individual device for each machine.
These surge protectors help to protect equipment from large spikes and also from small ongoing spikes in
the power that occur on a day to day basis. These smaller surges can shorten overall life of electrical
components of all types and cause their failure at a later date. Although they can't protect against all
events, these protective devices have a good reputation for significantly lengthening the useful life of
