Where to install it
 If the drying cabinet is to be installed with
a connection to exhaust air ventilation,
this must be available on the premises.
See futher section “Ventilation alterna-
tives”, page 9.
 A grounded electrical outlet must be
within 79 in. (2 meters) of the drying
cabinet’s upper section. A 79-in. (2-me-
ter) grounded power cord with a plug is
connected at the top of the drying cabi-
net. If the electrical outlet is not located
as above, the location must be adjusted
so that an extension cord is not neces-
sary.
 The electrical outlet shall be easily ac-
cessible after installation of the drying
cabinet. Take this into consideration even
in cases when the drying cabinet is built
into custom cabinetry or similar framing.
For further information, see the section
“Electrical requirements”.
 The floor must be able to support the
weight of the cabinet 133 lbs (60 kg).
 The floor must be flat with a slope under
the cabinet of no more than 1 in. (2.5
cm).
 The drying cabinet is only intended for
installation indoors and at temperatures
above 0°C (32°F).
 The drying cabinet may not be located in
environments where pressurized water
is used for cleaning.

Electrical requirements
Electrical connection
 The drying cabinet must be connected to
a 230 Volt single-phase 50 Hz grounded
wall outlet. The electric outlet must be
installed and grounded in accordance
with regulations in force.
 The drying cabinet is delivered complete
with connections, including a 2 metre
long cable with a grounded plug.
 Do not change the flexible cord and plug
which come with the drying cabinet. If the
plug is not adapted to the electric outlet,
this problem should be put in the hands
of a qualified technician.
 The drying cabinet should be connected
with the provided connector cable and
must not be permanently connected!
 The electrical outlet should be placed in
such a way that the plug can easily be
pulled out whenever necessary.
WARNING
 Check that mains supply complies with
the data on the identification plate and
also that the main lead is grounded in the
correct fashion, according to standards
in force. We recommend that the main
lead be provided with a circuit brea-
ker.
 The connection shall be separately fu-
sed.
 The manufacturer declines all responsi-
bility for any consequences if the electri-
cal connection is not made in the manner
laid down in this Use and Care Guide.
User’s responsibility
