IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION

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.
