IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION

ELECTRICAL SAFETY AND ADVICE REGARDING SUPPLEMENTARY ELECTRICAL
PROTECTION

Commercial kitchens and foodservice areas are environments where electrical appliances may be located
close to liquids, or operate in and around damp conditions or where restricted movement for installation and
service is evident.

The installation and periodic inspection of the appliance should only be undertaken by a qualified, skilled
and competent electrician; and connected to the correct power supply suitable for the load as stipulated by
the appliance data label.

The electrical installation and connections should meet the necessary requirements to the local electrical
wiring regulations and any electrical safety guidelines.

We recommend:-

• Supplementary electrical protection with the use of a type A residual current device (RCD)

• Fixed wiring appliances incorporate a locally situated switch disconnector to connect to, which is easily

accessible for switching off and safe isolation purposes. The switch disconnector must meet the
specification requirements of IEC 60947.

Your attention is drawn to:­BS 7671:2018–Guidance Note 8 - 8.13 : Other locations of increased risk

It is recognized that there may be locations of increased risk of electric shock other than those specifically
addressed in Part 7 of BS 7671. Examples of such locations could include laundries where there are
washing and drying machines in close proximity and water is present, and commercial kitchens with
stainless steel units, where once again, water is present.

Where because of the perception of additional risks being likely, the installation designer decides that an
installation or location warrants further protective measures, the options available include:

• Automatic Disconnection of Supply (ADS) by means of a residual current device having a residual
operating current not exceeding 30mA;

• Supplementary protective equipotential bonding; and

• Reduction of maximum fault clearance time.

The provision of RCDs and supplementary bonding must be specified by the host organization’s appointed

installation designer or electrical contractor and installed by a suitably qualified and competent electrician
so as to comply with Regulations 419.2 and 544.2

THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE DUE TO
INCORRECT INSTALLATION, TAMPERING, IMPROPER USE, FAULTY MAINTENANCE,
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE CURRENT REGULATIONS AND INCOMPETENCE.

THE MANUFACTURER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MODIFY WITHOUT NOTICE THE
APPLIANCE CHARACTERISTICS DESCRIBED IN THIS HANDBOOK.
