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.
