REQUIREMENTS REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
This dryer is supplied without an electric cord and plug. It
must be connected by a Whirlpool authorized service person
to a single-phase electricity 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 25 A (minimum) supply fuse should be used, and a switch
■
with a clear OFF marking 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 by
a Whirlpool authorized service person. 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.
A cord clamp bushing 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
(2014/30/EU), the maximum electrical supply system
impedance to which the electric dryer should be connected
is declared to be 0.054 Ω + j0.034 Ω.
NOTE: Electrical safety standards: The manufacturer has
chosen compliance with IEC/EN.60335 standards as the
most appropriate for this product.
If codes permit and an additional ground bond wire is used, it
is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the
ground bond path is adequate.
