2. PRELIMINARY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The bain-marie must be positioned in a well-aired room, if possible under a hood to remove
cooking steam thoroughly.
Before starting the appliance, remove all protective film; thoroughly clean the surfaces with a soft
cloth, lukewarm water and detergent, so as to remove all anti-rust products applied during the
manufacturing stage, then dry with a clean cloth.
If the appliance is installed near walls, partition walls, kitchen furniture, decorative panelling, etc.,
these should be constructed with fireproof materials or a space of at least 100 mm should be left
free.
Make sure that fire prevention rules are strictly respected.
The appliances can be positioned - according to the models - as top or ground appliances, or
linked together with others of the series.
The main switch and the socket must be near the appliance and easily accessible.
Using the levelling feet lay the appliance flat, adjust the height and ensure its stability.

2.1 Regulations, technical rules and general specifications

Comply with the following rules during assembly:

1) accident prevention rules;

2) rules in force in the country where the appliance is installed;

3) carefully read this booklet as it contains important instructions about installation safety, use and
maintenance;

4) keep this booklet for further reference.

2.2 Installation

Installation, setting up and maintenance must be carried out by qualified personnel only.
Installation must be carried out in accordance with the rules in force in the country where the
appliance is installed.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for incorrect functioning resulting from defective
installation, tampering, improper use, bad maintenance, non-observance of the local rules and use
by unskilled persons.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

APPLIANCE WITH WEIGHT GREATER THAN 40 Kg

BEFORE POSITIONING THE APPLIANCE CONNECT THE POWER CABLE TO THE TERMINAL

BLOCK.

2.2.1 Electrical connection

1) The electric bains-marie are designed to operate off 400 VAC+3N voltage.

2) The connection to the mains must be carried out through a suitably rated trip switch which has
at least 3 mm between the contacts. Moreover, the mains voltage - when the appliance is
working - must not exceed ± 10% of the voltage value.

3) The power cable to connect the appliance to the mains must be at least equal to the H05RN-F
rubber insulated type, with cross section suitable to the max. power consumption; therefore, its
lowest cross section must comply to the data stated in the electrical specifications table for each
type of appliance.

4) On top appliances the cable inlet and the terminal block are on the rear side. To carry out the
connection, unscrew and remove the protective cover.
To gain access to the terminal block on ground appliances with a cabinet underneath the
protective cover of the terminal block on the inner left-hand side of the cabinet has to be
removed; to carry out the connection, insert the cable through the inlet gland and the cable­clamp and connect the wires to the relative binding posts.

5) The appliance must be provided with an efficient earth connection.
For this purpose, near the terminal block there is a binding post marked with the symbol
to which the earth wire (yellow-green) must to be connected.
The above-mentioned cable must be long enough so that – if the cable clamp loosens - it can
be stressed only after the feed wires have been disconnected .

NB: Earthing must be carried out according to the local standards and regulations in force.

2.2.1.1 Equipotential connection

When interconnecting multiple appliances together, the electric bain-marie must be included in an
equipotential system, whose efficiency has to be checked according to the rules in force. The
connection is on the rear panel in top appliances, and on the left-hand side of the bottom frame in
ground appliances, marked with “EQUIPOTENTIAL”.

Earth wires for appliances

: The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage resulting from non-compliance

NB
with accident prevention rules as described above.

2.2.2 WATER CONNECTION FOR MODELS 90/80 BME AND 110/90 BME

To carry out a correct installation the following must be respected:

1) The water feed pipes must be connected to the mains using cut off cocks which should always
be closed when the bain-marie is not being used or during maintenance interventions.

2) A mechanical filter must be installed between the cut off cock and the pipes feeding the bain­marie in order to avoid the build up of ferrous materials that when rusting could damage the
stainless steel and lead to the presence of rust spots on the tank . You are therefore advised to
drain off a small amount of water before attaching the last length of piping to the bain-marie so
washing away any eventual ferrous materials.

3) If rust points do form on the tank this will be due to the build up of ferrous materials or the
stagnant of iron filings. The stainless steel is not the cause.

4) The 1/2” water inlet can be found on the lower right-hand side of the banin-marie. The water load
pipe is marked with the symbol

H

Note: the manufacturer takes no responsibility and has no guarantee obligations for

damage caused by not respecting the laws and standards in force or for a non
professional installation.

The appliance must never be made to work when the water level has dropped below the tank’s

USER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1) Bains-marie are appliances designed for heating food containers and should be exclusively
used by trained personnel following these operating instructions. Any other use of the appliance
is to be considered improper and therefore dangerous.

2) Before inserting containers or bowls make sure that the tank and false bottom have been
carefully cleaned using hot water and detergent and then rinse well.

3 START-UP

Attention! The appliance must only be used under the operator’s surveillance !!!

minimum level.

3.1 SWITCHING ON AND SWITCHING OFF

Fill the tank with water up to the maximum level and switch on the main switch. Turn the knob to
the desired position between 30°C and 90°C and both indicator lights will light up. The green light
indicates that the appliance is receiving power and the yellow light indicates that the heating
elements are working, until they reach the set temperature. To switch off the bain-marie, turn the
knob anti-clockwise until the switch clicks at the “0” position.

3.2 EMPTYING THE TANKS

The operator must make sure that there is a suitable container available to collect the drained off
water. Insert the drainage tube with bayonet joint as shown in the drawing. To drain off the water
turn the lever as shown in the drawing.

4 MAINTENANCE, CLEANING AND CARE

Before carrying out any cleaning operations disconnect the power at the mains.

It is recommended that the installation be checked by an authorised technician at least twice a
year, a special attention should be given to the efficiency of control and safety devices. .
For the daily cleaning of the appliance, the steel parts must be cleaned using a smooth cloth, water
and common detergents. After cleaning rinse well and dry thoroughly.
If the appliance is not to be used for an extended period of time, clean all the stainless steel
surfaces well using a cloth soaked in vaseline oil so as to apply a protective veil. Make sure the
rooms are aired regularly.
At all costs avoid casual or continuos contact with rusting materials which could cause corrosion
spots to appear. Therefore ladles, mixers and spoons etc. must be made of stainless steel.
For the same reason never clean the stainless steel using steel wool, brushes or scrapers, which
are made of common steel. Stainless steel wire wool can be used but only rub with the grain.
Never use cooking salt inside the tank.
Once you have emptied the food from the tank, make sure that the tank is well cleaned in order to
remove incrustations. Use nylon spatulas where possible.

ATTENTION:
Do not wash the appliance with direct water jets or with a high-pressure cleaner, as
possible infiltration to the electrical parts could jeopardize the regular operation of the
appliance and of the safety devices.
