3 Safety Instructions for Appliance Safety
Sa
fe operation of the appliance depends on appropriate and thorough use. Negligent handling of the appliance can lead to danger to life and limb of the user and / or third parties as well as hazards to the appliance
itself and the other operator's property.
2.3.1 Safety instructions for all appliances
The following points are to be observed to ensure the appliance safety:
sk of hot surfaces
We
ar hand protection
The appliance may only be operated when it is in perfect condition with regards to technical stan-
dards.
All the operating and actuating elements must be in a perfect and functionally reliable condition with
regards to technical standards.
Modifications or retrofits of the equipment are only permitted in consultation with the manufacturer
and on receipt of his written agreement.
In no case may people sit or stand on the appliance. Transport of persons is not permitted.
Before loading, the crockery dispensing height must be adjusted to the kind of crockery used.
The crockery guides must be adjusted to the kind of crockery used before loading.
To avoid injuries to the hands, care should always be taken to ensure that the crockery dispensing
height does not fall below the upper rim of the housing.
Never push the guide basket down manually into the dispensing tube (e.g. for cleaning). There is a
e appliance is provided exclusively for manual transport. Mechanical transport is not permitted.
Risk of injury and damage.
If a stack of plates with the covers is too high, do not push it down forcibly. There is a risk of injury, if
the locking is released. Furthermore, the locking function of the covers can be damaged.
Release both total brakes before commencing transporting. Moving the appliance with the total bra-
kes locked can damage the chassis
Transport should only be undertaken over level floors. Moving the appliance over very uneven floors
can damage the chassis.
Transport over inclined planes or steps is not permitted.
When approaching walls and moving round obstacles always pay attention to persons in the way.
Risk of injury.
When transporting the appliance, always hold both bars with your hands. Never let go of the appli-
ance while moving it.
When transporting the appliance, do not move it faster than a walking pace. Heavily laden plate dis-
pensers are difficult to brake and steer. If necessary, ask for assistance when transporting the appliance.
If the plate dispenser tips over due to outside influences or inattention, never catch it manually. Risk
of injury.
Do not stop the appliance on sloping floors.
After stopping, the appliance should be secured against rolling away by means of both total brakes
being applied.
In the case of offsite transport in a vehicle such as a lorry, the appliances should be secured properly.
The total brakes are not sufficient as a transport securing method.
2.3.2 Additional safety instructions for heated appliances
The heated appliances can only be operated by instructed specialists and kitchen staff and under
continuous supervision.
Heated plate dispensers are intended for dispensing heated crockery. Their use for cooking food and
keeping it warm or for room heating is not permitted.
The crockery temperatures can exceed the permitted maximum temperatures of 149°F (65°C) for
touchable appliance surfaces. Always wear protective gloves when dispensing hot crockery. Risk of
burning.
During operation of the appliance, never reach into it and touch the heating element with the fingers.
Risk of burning.
Plastic crockery, top and bottom parts of plastic insulated sets and plastic-coated items for keeping
food warm should not be stored or warmed up in heated plate dispensers. Owing to the high temperatures of the heating elements, the plastics can melt and catch fire.
The base plate and used air from the base outlets can become very hot. The appliance should not be
operated on fibre-based floor coverings (e.g. carpets, mats).
Before transporting, switch off the appliance, pull out the mains plug and insert it into the plug park
provided.
Forceful straining of the connecting cable can lead to damage to the internal line. Risk of fire.
Never pull the mains plug out of the socket by the wire. The standard models of HUPFER
ances are equipped with a Schuko® angle plug. In contrast to a straight Schuko® plug this plug only
sticks insignificantly out of the socket and so cannot be damaged by being hit at the side. If the appliance is moved without pulling out the mains plug beforehand, the socket can be severely damaged or
even pulled out from the wall as a result of leverage arising from overstretching of the connecting cable.
Never move the appliance by pulling by the connecting cable.
If the mains plug has come into contact with water it must be dried before inserting it into the socket.
maged mains plugs or connecting cables are to be replaced by authorised personnel before the
appliance is reused.
Do not use any extension cables in wet and damp areas.
Only insert mains plugs into suitable sockets. If the mains plug does not fit, the connecting cable of
the appliance is to be retrofitted by authorised specialist staff.
The use of socket adapters is not permitted. Risk of fire.
Do not clean the appliance with steam-jet or high-pressure washers. The appliance must be taken
out of operation and switched off at the mains beforehand in any area where steam-jet or highpressure washers are to be used.
2.4 Safety Instructions for Cleaning and Care
Th
e following points shall be observed when carrying out any cleaning and maintenance operations:
For reasons of hygiene the cleaning instructions shall be strictly observed.
