Asko T411VDW Installation Instructions English - Page 11

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION The receptacle on the rear of the machine is designed to accommodate ASKO washers ONLY (rated 208-240 V.) To use this receptacle, you must use the ready-fitted plug supplied with the washing machine or an equivalent. ASKO washers rated 208-240 V have two internal fuses of 15 A each. The machine should only be connected to a grounded wall socket. This appliance must be properly grounded. Refer to the "Important Safety Instructions" for grounding instructions. The power supply cord must be grounded. If the machine is to be used in a wet area, the supply must be protected by a residual current device. Connection to a permanently wired supply point must be made only by a qualified electrician. As supplied: Single-phase, 208-240 V, 60 Hz, 3000W heater rating 30 A circuit required. Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new branch-circuit installations, mobile homes, recreational vehicles, and areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductors. The grounding link on the dryer must be removed for all 4-wire installations. These Electrical Connection instructions provide for installing the dryer in the following situations: 3-wire connections where local codes permit grounding through the neutral, 3-wire connections with a separate grounding connector where local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral, and 4-wire connections. Each of the above connections can be made with an approved power supply cord or by direct wiring. Each connection instruction identifies the appropriate Power Supply Cord and covers requirements for direct wiring. In Canada, the dryer is delivered ready-fitted with a four-prong plug intended for connection to a single-phase supply. Do not connect the machine to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Connecting a 3-wire Power Cord Before starting this procedure, be sure the power is turned off at the breaker/fuse box. 3-Wire Cord Spade terminals with upturned ends Remove cover to access terminal box. (Requires a 20-Torx screwdriver.) This blade connects to this conductor. Ring terminals Electrical Connections Read the Electrical requirements and grounding instructions before connecting the tumble dryer. Electric models of the dryer are manufactured for a 3-wire connection system. The dryer frame is grounded by a link to the neutral conductor on the dryer terminal block. If local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral, the grounding link from the terminal block must be removed and a separate ground wire must be used. Only a 4-conductor cord shall be used when the appliance is installed in a location where grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited.
