Specific Precautions

Equipotential Ground Plane

When a high current flows through a conductor, differences in potent ial appear between
the conductor and nearby metallic surfaces near the appliance. As a result, sparks may
be produced between the appliance and surrounding metal surfac es. These sparks
could cause serious injury, damage, or fire.

BKI provides an Equipotential ground terminal for the connection of a bonding conductor
after the installation of the appliance per lEC60417-1. This terminal is located on the
drive side of the oven base and is marked with this symbol.

Full Disconnection for IEC / CE Regulations

In accordance with Local and/or National wiring codes, the installer must provide a
means of full disconnection for overvoltage Category III conditions. An IEC approved
cord and plug combination will meet this requirement.

Units not provided with a cord and plug do not meet this requirement. In accordance with
Local and/or National wiring codes, the installer must provide the means of full
disconnection.

Safe Work Practices

Wear Safe Clothing Appropriate To Your Job

Always wear your insulated mitts when handling hot oven parts or touch any hot
metal surface. If you lose or damage your mitts, you can buy new ones at your local
restaurant equipment supply store or from your local BKI Distributor.

Always wear non-skid shoes when working around the oven or any other
equipment.

Never wear loose clothing such as neckties or scarves while operating this
equipment. Keep loose hair tied back or in a hair net while operating this
equipment.

Always wear appropriate personal protection equipment during the cleaning
process to guard against possible injury.
