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 load as stipulated by the appliance data label.

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

We recommend:-

 Supplementary electrical protection with use of 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.

6.1 SITING / CLEARANCES

CAUTION: WALLS CLOSER THAN 150mm TO THE APPLIANCE
MUST BE NON COMBUSTABLE. IF SUITING THE NECESSARY
CLEARANCES TO ANY CUMBUSTIBLE WALL MUST BE THE

LARGEST FIGURE GIVEN FOR INDIVIDUAL APPLIANCES INSTRUCTIONS.

14

6.2 ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND CONNECTION

6.2.1 Remove control panel to access the inlet terminal (see 7.1)

6.2.2 Cable entry at unit rear. A suitable rated isolating switch with contact separation of at

least 3mm in all poles must be installed and wiring executed in accordance with relevant
regulations.

This appliance is also provided with a terminal
for connection of an external equipotential
conductor. This terminal is in effective electrical
contact with all fixed exposed metal parts of the
appliance, and shall allow the connection of
conductor having a nominal cross-section area
of up to 10mm². It is located at the rear of the
unit and identified by the following label and
must only be used for bonding purposes.

The electrical connections color code is shown in the table below.

6.4.3 Place a pan suitable for induction cooker tops, filled with water, upon a cooking zone.
The pan minimum diameter cannot be less than 120mm.

6.4.4 Ensure that corresponding L.E.D stops flashing and remains lit. This indicates that
“Pan detection” feature is working.

6.4.5 Repeat on all different cooking zones.

6.4.6 Leave pots to heat until water boils and switch controls to maintain simmer.

6.4.7 Switch control off.

6.5 INSTRUCTION TO USER
