If this appliance is located in a row of appliances 
(e.g. Austheat® Fryer), ensure that adjacent 
machines do not restrict air flow. Failure to 
provide adequate air flow could result in the 
tripping of the thermal protective circuits within 
the unit. 

Consideration should be given to securing the 
unit or limiting mobility if the unit is hard-wired. 
Consult appropriate standards to ensure 
compliance with all requirements. 

We recommend the use of an RCD (Residual 
Current Device) rated at no less than 30mA for 
circuit protection. If an RCD is used to protect 
multiple appliances, ensure the RDC is 
appropriately rated so as to allow up to 30mA 
leakage current for this unit. 

CAUTION: Do not attach any other items, 
machines or brackets to these units as any such 
alterations may change the thermal properties 
or safety aspects of these machines and will void 
any warranty. 

CAUTION: In order to avoid inadvertent re-
setting of the internal thermal cut-outs, ensure 
the appliance is not wired through an external 
switching devices (such as a timer), or any device 
that is regularly switched on and off by the 
utility. 

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 

Before connecting the machine to the power 
supply, ensure that all switches are in the OFF 
position.  

A licensed electrician must install this unit to 
comply with national installation codes and 
regulations. Means for disconnection from 
supply must be incorporated in the fixed wiring 
in accordance with the wiring rules. 

WARNING: UNIT MUST BE EARTHED 

We also advise that this unit, and any other 
stationary appliances, be connected to a 
equipotential bonding grid to eliminate any 

differences in electrical potential within the 
kitchen, 

WARNING: If the electrical mains supply cabling 
is damaged, the machine must not be used until 
a qualified person has replaced the cabling and 
deemed the machine to be functioning properly. 

There are two main supply connection points in 
the unit. The first is through the lower back 
panel at the rear of the unit. The second 
connection point is through the base of the 
machine at the rear. Both connection points 
have three choices of holes for the cable to pass 
through. Protection must be given to the mains 
cables if they are positioned such that they can 
contact the hot surfaces of the unit. A suitable 
cable gland is required for the cable to pass 
through. 

Each hotplate must be connected to an 
adequately protected power supply and an 
isolation switch mounted adjacent to, but not 
behind the Hotplate. This switch must be clearly 
marked and readily accessible in case of fire. 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

This appliance is designed as a floor mounted 
unit. The controls are located along the front 
display panel with the primary ON/OFF switch 
located on the lower control panel. 

These units generate an extreme amount of 
heat, which has the capacity to adversely affect 
some components within the machine. To 
prevent any damage, and to provide an air 
curtain along the grease box guide assembly 
and upper display panel, these units are fitted 
with internal fans. 

In the event of a failure of an internal fan, a 
safety thermostat will operate and cut power to 
the machine, the result being a sudden loss of 
power (pilot lights will no longer be lit). 

If such a shutdown occurs, leave the unit to cool 
for 30 minutes and turn the unit off and back on.
