EXIGENCES D’EMPLACEMENT

On a besoin de :

■■ Un emplacement permettant une évacuation appropriée. Voir “Exigences concernant l’évacuation”.

■■ Un circuit séparé de 30 ampères.

■■ Si on utilise un cordon d’alimentation, une prise électrique avec liaison à la terre située à moins de 610 mm (2 ft) de l’un des côtés du sèche-linge. Voir “Spécifications électriques”.

■■ Un plancher robuste capable de supporter le poids du sèchelinge (sèche-linge et charge) de 90,7 kg (200 lb). Il faut aussi prendre en compte le poids combiné d’un appareil ménager voisin.

■■ Un plancher de niveau ayant une pente maximale de 25 mm (1") sous l’ensemble du sèche-linge. Si la pente est supérieure à 25 mm (1"), installer un ensemble de pieds d’extension pour sèche-linge, pièce n° 279810. Si le sèche-linge n’est pas d’aplomb, le linge peut ne pas culbuter convenablement, et les programmes automatiques commandés par détecteur peuvent ne pas fonctionner correctement.

Ne pas faire fonctionner le sèche-linge à une température inférieure à 7°C (45°F). A des températures inférieures, le sèche-linge risque de ne plus s’arrêter à la fin d’un programme automatique. Les temps de séchage risquent alors d’augmenter.

Le sèche-linge ne doit pas être installé ou remisé dans un endroit où il sera exposé à l’eau et/ou aux intempéries.

Vérifier les règlements locaux. Certains codes limitent ou n’autorisent pas l’installation des sèche-linge dans un garage, un placard ou une chambre à coucher. Communiquer avec l’inspecteur des bâtiments local.

Espacements d’installation :

L’emplacement doit être assez grand pour permettre d’ouvrir complètement la porte du sèche-linge.

*La plupart des installations requièrent un espace minimum de 127 mm (5") derrière le sèche-linge pour le conduit d’évacuation avec coude. Voir “Exigences concernant l’évacuation”.

Dégagement minimal pour une installation dans un encastrement ou un placard

Les dimensions correspondent à l’espacement minimum permis.

■■ Prévoir davantage d’espace pour faciliter l’installation et l’entretien.

■■ Un espace supplémentaire peut être requis pour les moulures de porte et de plancher et pour les plinthes.

■■ Un espace supplémentaire de 25 mm (1") doit être envisagé de chaque côté du sèche-linge afin de réduire le transfert de bruit.

■■ Pour installation dans un placard avec porte, on doit prévoir des ouvertures minimums d’entrée d’air en haut et en bas de la porte. Les portes à claire-voie offrant des ouvertures équivalentes de passage de l’air sont acceptables.

■■ Il faut aussi prendre en compte l’espace requis entre les appareils voisins.

SPECIFICATIONS ELECTRIQUES

C’est à l’utilisateur qu’incombe la responsabilité de :

■■ Contacter un électricien qualifié.

■■ Veiller à ce que le branchement électrique soit correctement effectué et conforme aux prescriptions de tous les codes et règlements locaux en vigueur.

■■ Fournir une alimentation de 230 VCA, 60 Hz monophasée à 3 fils, sur un circuit séparé de 30 ampères (15 ou 20 ampères pour les sèche-linge à gaz) protégé par fusible aux deux

extrémités de la ligne. On recommande d’utiliser un fusible ou un disjoncteur temporisé. On recommande également que cet appareil soit alimenté par un circuit indépendant. Ne pas avoir de fusible dans le circuit neutre ou de liaison à la terre.

■■ Ne pas utiliser de câble de rallonge.

■■ Si les codes le permettent et si l’on utilise un conducteur distinct de liaison à la terre, il est recommandé qu’un électricien qualifié vérifie la qualité de la liaison à la terre.

Raccordement électrique

Pour installer le sèche-linge de façon appropriée, il faut déterminer le type de raccordement électrique à utiliser et suivre les présentes instructions.

En cas d’utilisation d’un câble d’alimentation électrique :

Utiliser un ensemble de câble d’alimentation électrique homologué UL marqué compatible avec les sèche-linge. L’ensemble doit contenir :

■■ Un serre-câble (homologation UL).

Raccordement direct :

Le câble doit correspondre à l’alimentation électrique et présenter les caractéristiques suivantes :

■■ Un câble en cuivre à gaine non métallique ou blindé souple (avec fil de liaison à la terre), avec conduit métallique souple. Tous les fils sous tension doivent être isolés.

■■ Fil en cuivre plein de calibre 10 (ne pas utiliser d’aluminium). ■■ Longueur d’au moins 1,52 m (5 ft).

INSTRUCTIONS DE LIAISON À LA TERRE

■ Pour un sèche-linge relié à la terre et connecté par un cordon :

Ce sèche-linge doit être relié à la terre. En cas de mauvais fonctionnement ou de panne, la liaison à la terre réduira le risque de choc électrique en offrant au courant électrique un acheminement d’évacuation de moindre résistance. La •che doit être branchée sur une prise appropriée qui est bien installée et reliée à la terre conformément à tous les codes et règlements locaux.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le raccordement incorrect de cet appareil au conducteur de liaison à la terre peut susciter un risque de choc électrique. En cas de doute quant à la qualité de liaison à la terre du sèche-linge, consulter un électricien ou un technicien ou un personnel quali•é. Ne pas modi•er la •che de branchement fournie avec le sèche-linge; si la •che ne correspond pas à la con•guration de la prise de courant, demander à un électricien quali•é d’installer une prise de courant appropriée.
