A two-wire or three-wire, single-phase,
23Dvolt, 50-Hz, AC-only, 1 Sampere
electrical supply (or a three-wire, 240-volt,
60-Hz, 20-ampere electrical supply if
specified on serial/rating plate) is required
on a separate circuit. A time-delay fuse or
circuit breaker is recommended.
This appliance is equipped with a Schukotype power supply cord. To minimize
possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating wall receptacle. See
Figures 1 and 3, Panel B.
Power supply cord
Local codes may permit the use of a
230-volt minimum, 15-ampere (or 240-volt
minimum, 20-ampere), dryer power supply
cord (pigtail). A suitable strain relief must be
provided at the point where the power
supply cord connects to the dryer (see
Figures 1 and 2).
