3 Instructions on Safe-handling of the Equipment

3.1 General instructions

The equipment is a technical appliance that is only intended for commercial use.
The electric frying plates and griddle plates are used for the commercial preparation of meals.
The appliance is not suitable for space heating nor for the warming up of other materials – except those

normally used in cooking.
Ventilation of the work rooms complying with the regulations is to be ensured.
The employers' liability insurance association (BG) rules “Working in Commercial Kitchens” of the

“Food Processing Industry” expert committee of the BG Central Office (BGR 111) are to be observed
when setting up and operating equipment.

Technical modifications to the equipment by unauthorised persons without written permission from the
manufacturer completely nullify any claims under the guarantee and invalidate any claims in respect of
product liability.

Operating Instructions for Ascoline 700, AEB 2xx, 4xx

These instructions are to be made known to the members of staff affected in the context of an operating
directive.

3.2 Safety instructions for operating, cleaning and repair

Overheated fats and oils can be self-igniting. The preparation of food using fats and oils should not be left
unsupervised. Never try to extinguish fat or oil using water!

Several parts, such as the top plate of the range, frying plate and griddle plate get very hot due to the
high temperatures needed for frying and grilling. Protect yourself by only touching the control elements
provided and by wearing clothing that prevents direct skin contact.

The operating and cleaning may only be carried out by personnel who have received appropriate
instruction. Maintenance and repair may only be performed by qualified specialists who have received
training.

The manufacturer cannot be made liable for damage due to inexpert connection and handling. Claims
under the guarantee in such cases are null and void.

Before repair work is started, the equipment must be disconnected on all poles from the power
(using isolating equipment in the customer's supply, e.g. contact breakers).

3.3 Instructions for transport

Transport ascobloc equipment only in the original packaging. This avoids unnecessary damage and
expense.

Check equipment for damage.
Do not lift or shift the appliance by holding the top plate or the bottom edges at the sides of the appliance.

The bottom edges at the front and rear of the appliance are provided for this.

3.4 Instructions on installation

The appliance is wired up in the factory as far as the connector. All connection work must be carried out
by an authorised specialist company. Allow the technical experts to look at these documents. The legally
acknowledged regulations (Germany VDE, Austria ÖVE, Switzerland SEV etc.) and the connection
requirements of the local electricity utility are to be observed.

Before beginning the installation work, it should be checked that the mains voltage, mains type and the
current rating of the circuit breaker match the values given on the name plates. An isolating device in the
customer's scope of supply that is effective on all poles must be provided, e.g. contact breakers with at
least 3 mm contact gaps, so that the equipment is disconnected from the power supply during repair and
installation work. Connection to an equipotential bonding system is available (check effectiveness).

Do not sharply bend or crush mains cables or damage on sharp edges and route them so that they
cannot come in contact with hot parts. The power supply cable must be led through the equipment, fully
sheathed, from the screwed connection to the entry of the terminal box. The appliance is intended for
a permanent connection; connection via plug and socket is not permitted

4 Installation

4.1 Setting up

Do not set up the equipment next to walls, kitchen furniture, and decorations or similar which are made of
flammable materials. Otherwise there is danger of fire. See data sheet with equipment description for
minimum distance. Local fire protection regulations must be kept to absolutely!

The equipment must be set up absolutely horizontal (use spirit level for alignment). Equipment with
adjustable feet can easily compensate for unevenness in the floor (+/- 20 mm) by turning the bottom ends
of the feet. If set up on a plinth, this is to have shims fitted underneath to compensate for unevenness, if
required.

4.1.1 Free-standing set-up

If the equipment is to be set up on its own, suitable means are to be used to protect it against tilting and
shifting.

4.1.2 Setting them up in groups or blocks

When setting up in groups or blocks, the equipment must be joined together by connecting elements

provided for this purpose. This is for the sake of hygiene. Observe equipment setting up sheets or
assembly diagram (data sheet in annex).

4.2 Connections

Details of connections for the media can be taken from the accompanying connection diagram and
equipment description. Check whether the size and position of the electrical connections of the customer
side correspond to the information in the connection plan, equipment description or installation plan.

Operating Instructions for Ascoline 700, AEB 2xx, 4xx

The terminal box for the connections is located behind the front panel A (see data sheet). Make the
connections as shown in the annex or in the connection diagram accompanying the equipment. The
number of the connection diagram is to be found on the type plate. Once the electrical connections have
been made, close the cover of the terminal box and screw the front panel in place again.

4.2.1 Free-standing appliances

The connections can be made from below or from the rear from a closed installation space. With the
connection from below, the pipe length must be 50 mm above the floor surface.

4.2.2 Wall/table mounted appliance - attached to an installation wall, cantilever or wall-mounted frame

When attaching the appliance to an installation wall, cantilever or on a wall-mounted frame (ACC 881),
the appliance connections from below or from the rear are to be used.

4.2.3 Wall/table-top appliances connect through the rear wall

On the right side at the rear in the corner is a bracket that is screwed on with downwards penetration
that covers the access to the installation channel to the rear. Remove the bracket, turn it through 180°
and screw it back on so that the penetration in the bracket now frees up access to the rear and covers
the downwards access.

5 Proper Use of the Equipment

5.1 Operational start-up

Remove the protective film before bringing into operation
Clean the equipment with dilute soap solution.

5.2 Operating

The knobs for the temperature controller and the indicator light for the frying plates are located on the
operating panel. (Figure 2)

When the frying plate is switched on, the green or the yellow indicator light goes on
When the preselected temperature is reached, the yellow light goes out
When in the frying plate is held in readiness, keep the surface temperature as low as possible.
If the equipment is to be taken out of use, set all knobs to “zero”.
The drain pipe for fried residues leads to a catchment tray lying below it (GN 1/1-65 container).

The catchment tray can be removed for emptying and cleaning. The frying plate cannot be operated
without the dirt tray. Please note that the capacity of each dirt tray is limited.

The frying plate can be operated with a liquid fat level or for the preparation of liquid meals by means of
the plug supplied.

In the case of frying and griddle plates, the plug may only be used for cleaning purposes.

5.3 Cleaning

Please observe the hygiene regulations in your firm! The instructions in this document are not a substitute for
such regulations (observe the tips for the treatment of stainless steel appliances in commercial kitchens!).

Attention! Appliances may not be cleaned using water under pressure (spraying with water hose or
steam jet or high pressure cleaners). The appliance is to be shut off if the surroundings are to be cleaned
using such means!

The appliance must be shut off and adequately cooled down before cleaning. Appliance parts or
accessories that come in contact with foodstuffs must be cleaned thoroughly with cleaning agents and
then rinsed off with tap water. Flammable liquids are not be used for cleaning.

To avoid interruptions in operation and for hygiene reasons, the appliance should be cleaned daily after use.

Top plate

With stubborn deposits, spray commercially available stainless steel cleaning agent onto the top plate
and let it take effect for about 10 to 20 minutes. Then clean with a coarse sponge and wipe out with clear
water. Do not flood the top plate – wipe it out with cloths.

ATTENTION! The cleaning agent to be used must be free of chlorine and fluorine compounds as these
halides can attack even high-quality stainless steel.

6 Repair and Maintenance
