7.1 Standards and regulations

7.2 Liability

2.1 FIRE

Curtains, cloths, chopping-boards or other wooden objects must be kept a safe

distance from hobs and other heat sources; the same applies to vessels

containing alcohol, solvents or inflammable cleaning agents, etc. The risk of

fire in a kitchen is very high.

Fires usually start in a precise point and can be prevented from spreading if

panic is avoided. Hasty reactions may worsen the situation. Never use water to

extinguish an electrical fire; first disconnect the electrical power supply then

extinguish the fire using suitable materials or fire extinguishers.

2.2 ACCIDENTS

There is also a high risk of personal injury (burns, falls) in a commercial kitchen.

Make sure the handles of pans do not protrude from the hob, and frying pans

and other fryer equipment must not be left unattended at any time. Any oil or

grease spilled on the floor must be cleaned up immediately to prevent

slipping.

2.3 ELECTRICITY

The most serious hazards associated with electricity are those of fire

and electrocution.

Follow the safety instructions below:

• Electrical installations: all installation and maintenance should be

carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with current safety

standards. The main switch must be easily accessible. Cables, plugs

and sockets must be kept in perfect condition.

• Safety: always turn off the main switch before cleaning or any other

operation on the appliance.

Never pull on a power supply cable to unplug an appliance from a

socket.

Do not attempt to repair a damaged cable with insulating tape or other

means, have the entire cable replaced by qualified personnel.

2.4 GAS

The smell of gas is a sign of a probable leak. In this event, close the main shut-off

valve, open doors and windows, and take care not to cause any sparks or

flames.

If you cannot identify the cause of the leak, call a qualified service engineer.

A high percentage of accidents happen because the gas appliances are not

checked regularly: gas appliances are only safe if they are kept in perfect

working order (see chapter 5).

Essential safety precautions when working with gas appliances

To light a gas burner, first bring the flame near to the burner and then turn on the gas.

It is important that the gas burns properly (blue flame) and that there are no restrictions in

the flueways, as these might give rise to dangerous emissions of carbon monoxide

fumes (which are even more hazardous than mains gas, because they are odourless

and give poisoning symptoms that may be confused with harmless disorders).

We strongly recommend the installation of electronic sensors by qualified personnel.

- 2 -

2. HAZARDS IN THE WORK ENVIRONMENT

Adhere scrupulously to the instructions in Section B and do not tamper with the appliance's

safety devices, as this would invalidate any warranty and release the manufacturer from all

liability.

The equipment may be utilised only for the specific uses for which it is intended (as indicated

in Section B).

Any other use is deemed improper and thus hazardous.

THE MANUFACTURER ACCEPTS NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS OR INJURY

DERIVING FROM INCORRECT INSTALLATION OR USE AND IN THIS CASE DOES NOT

GUARANTEE THE CORRECT OPERATING OF THE APPLIANCE.

3.1 WORKING IN SAFETY

Not to know or to underestimate the risks deriving from the incorrect or improper use of the

appliance can be very dangerous. It is important to adopt working habits in the daily use of the

appliances:

learn the correct use of the various appliances which comprise the

installation;

after each use, always make sure that all appliances are turned off and

then close the shut-off valve and/or turn off the main switch;

do not use inflammable cleaning agents and do not leave containers with these

substances near the appliance;

the appliance is intended for professional use and must be used by qualified

personnel only!

check the correct operation of the appliance every 6 months. On type B appliances, the

fume exhaust duct must also be checked.

Inexperience, negligence or haste may cause situations of emergency which otherwise could

have been avoided. Prevention is the first rule for working in safety. Ensure that the electrical

system is perfect order and that gas appliances are inspected regularly. Always think beforehand

of what you are about to do and how to do it, and act in such a way as to ensure your own safety

and that of your colleagues.

3.2 WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION

Do not attempt any repairs yourself. Turn off the main switch, gas shut-off valves,

water taps, etc. as applicable, and call a qualified service engineer.

We strongly recommend that you contact our Service Centre in your area, which

can provide the necessary expertise and equipment, and which maintains a stock

of original replacement parts.

3.3 PROLONGED PERIODS OF NON-USE

If the appliance is not to be used for a prolonged period, close the gas shut-off valve and/or turn

off the main switch. Clean the appliance thoroughly as indicated in Section B, and protect it

from dust with a cover allowing free air circulation.

3.4 DEFINITIVE DEACTIVATION OF THE EQUIPMENT

Seek assistance from qualified personnel.

☞

3. CORRECT USE

- 4 -

4.1 Problems, causes and remedies

The guide below will help the User to rectify minor faults; in the event of any other problems,

contact the approved Service Centre, the only service centre authorised to repair the

appliance.

• SMELL OF GAS

This may be an occasional leak: Boiling water has extinguished a flame, but in this case the safety device

intervenes and locks the gas outlet before a dangerous gas concentration is reached in the room. Close the

gas cock and aerate the room. If this is not the cause, have the equipment checked by skilled personnel.

• THE PILOT FLAME DOES NOT IGNITE

Check that the ignition device (whether electric, piezoelectric or electronic)

functions correctly; try igniting the pilot flame with a match.

There may be air in the piping, especially after a period of non-use; in this case, repeat the ignition

operation, this time trying for a little longer.

• THE PILOT FLAME DOES NOT REMAIN LIT

The control knob is being released too soon, before the thermocouple has had time to reach operating

temperature. Repeat the ignition operation, but keep the knob pressed in for a little longer.

• THE PILOT FLAME IGNITES BUT THE BURNER REMAINS OFF

Check that thermostat control knob is turned to a temperature setting and activate the

ignition enabling device (if present).

If the gas flow is controlled by an electric or electronic system, make sure the system is

receiving electrical power (any displays or indicator lights must be lit).

• DEFECTIVE COMBUSTION (YELLOW FLAME)

This may be caused by dirt in the burner or by clogged smoke pipes. It may also be caused by

dripping condensate created by an obstruction or dirt in the flue.

Call a competent service engineer.

• MALFUNCTION OF ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT

This may be due to the absence of a supply phase (frequent tripping of the overload

cutout): check any fuses and replace if necessary.

If either the thermal-magnetic circuit breaker or residual current device (RCD) trips continuously, call an

authorised service engineer.

• PROBLEMS WITH WASHING EQUIPMENT

Poor washing results (dishwashing machine, vegetable washer, etc.) may be due

to the lack of a supply phase (see above) or to too little water pressure, in which

case a pressure boosting device must be installed. It may also be necessary to

install a water softener if white deosits are left on dishes after washing.

• INSUFFICIENT COOLING IN REFRIGERATING EQUIPMENT

This may be due to incorrect positioning (near to heat sources), or to excessive ice on

the evaporator (appliances without automatic defroster), in which case it will be

necessary to defrost manually

.

• INSUFFICIENT AIR SUCTION IN EXHAUSTING SYSTEMS

Ensure all grease filters are kept clean.

It is advisable to have the equipment regularly checked by a qualified service

engineer so as to ensure its efficiency and to guarantee maximum working safety.

We therefore recommend that the user enters into a maintenance contract with

specialised companies capable of guaranteeing the following operations:

Maintenance of service installations

Regular inspection of appliances

Conversion operations (change of gas type or operating voltage)

Repairs.

5.1.1 User-serviceable parts

The user is only authorised to replace any deteriorated service components

(handles, removable basins, grilles, etc.). The user is not authorised to

replace functional components or to tamper with the appliance in any

way.

The parts that may be replaced by the user are explicitly listed in section 2 of

manual B together with instructions for their replacement. If this information is

missing, consult a qualified service engineer.

N.B.: intentional damage, or damage due to lack of care or

negligence or to failure to observe the prescriptions,

instructions and standards, or due to incorrect connections

or non-authorised tampering with the appliance, negate any

guarantee or liability on the part of the manufacturer.

5.2 ADVICE

Make a note of the emergency phone-number

of your qualified service engineer.

6. CLEANING

6.1 CLEANING OF APPLIANCES

•

Before cleaning, close the main gas valve and/or the main electrical power

switch and allow the appliance to cool.

• To clean any stainless steel, chromium-plated, enamelled, plastic,

duraluminium or painted parts, use lukewarm water and non-abrasive, non-

corrosive commercial detergents. Rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning.

• Never use water jets

directly on the appliances for cleaning, particularly high-

pressure water jets. See also the detailed cleaning instructions indicated in

Section B.

• For the proper care of stainless steel parts, adhere scrupulously to the

recommendations below.

6.2 CLEANING OF STAINLESS STEEL

Stainless steel is so called because it is not affected by oxidation; this is due to a thin molecular

layer of oxide on the surface which protects against further oxidation.

There are, however, substances which can modify or destroy this layer, giving rise to corrosion;

besides preventing the protective film of oxide from reforming, these substances corrode the

stainless steel itself and can cause irreparable damage.

It is therefore necessary to prevent this by choosing correct cleaning products and by complying

with the following simple recommendations: never forget that when using these appliances, the

first and fundamental rule is to guarantee that the treated products are both non-toxic and

hygienic.

Before using any detergent to clean either the stainless steeI or the immediate and surrounding

floor area, always ask your supplier for the most suitable product which does not cause corrosion

on the steel itself; the onset of rust is most commonly caused by the use of unsuitable cleaning

materials (strongly acid chlorate based detergents) or on inadequate maintenance.

6.2.1 Ordinary daily maintenance

Carefully and frequently cIean the surfaces using a damp cloth; use soap and water

or normal detergents, so Iong as these do not contain abrasives or chlorine

based substances such as sodium hypochlorite (bleach), hydrochloric acid or other

such solutions. These products quickly and irrepairably corrode stainless steel.

When cleaning fIoors underneath or near the appliances, never use the above

mentioned products as vapours or splashes could subject the steel to similar

destructive effects.

Only ever rub in the direction of the satining, then thoroughly rinse with clean water

and carefully dry.

Spots of baked food: wash spots of baked food with hot water before they

have time to harden. If the residue has already hardened, use soap and

water or detergent without chlorate, using a wooden spatula or fine

stainless steel wool if necessary; thoroughly rinse and dry.
