flame present in clothes dryers. The decomposition products are highly corrosive and will cause damage
to the dryer(s), ducts and clothes loads.
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. The electrical connection should
be made to the terminal block in the rear control box assembly on the rear of the unit, using a wire size adequate to
handle the amperage and voltage listed on the serial plate, but never smaller than No.12 AWG wire. It is absolutely
necessary that the dryer be grounded to a known ground.
Individual circuit breakers for each unit are recommended. The wiring diagram is located on the belt guard on
the back of the machine.
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 lightening 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 electronic components. Electronic
components are helped to have a longer useful life when they are supplied with the clean stable electrical power
they like.
We are including the following names and phone numbers of a few suppliers of these devices for those who don’t
currently have a source.

5. GAS REQUIREMENTS. The complete gas requirements necessary to operate the dryer satisfactorily are
listed on the serial plate located on the back panel of the dryer.
The inlet gas connection to the unit is 1/2-inch pipe thread.
A joint compound resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases should be employed in making pipe
connections.
A 1/8 inch NPT plugged tapping, accessible for test gage connection, must be installed immediately upstream of
the gas supply connection to the dryer.
A drip tee should be provided in the gas piping entering the unit to catch dirt and other foreign articles.
All pipe connections should be checked for leakage with soap solution. Never check with an open flame.
For altitudes above 2,000 feet (610m), it is necessary to derate the BTU input. Contact your local distributor
for instructions.
L.P. gas conversion kits are available for this dryer. Contact your local distributor.
