INSTALLATIONand SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
The installer must ensure that the installation of the appliance is in conformity with these
instructions and National Regulations in force at the time of installation. Particular attention MUST
be paid to –
BS7671 IEE Wiring Regulations Electricity at Work Regulations
Health and Safety At Work Act Fire Precautions Act
WARNING
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE, ISOLATE THE APPLIANCE AT THE MAINS
ISOLATING SWITCH AND TAKE STEPS TO ENSURE THAT IT CANNOT BE
INADVERTENTLY SWITCHED ON.
IT IS MOST IMPORTANT THAT THESE INSTRUCTIONS BE CONSULTED BEFORE
INSTALLING AND COMMISSIONING THIS APPLIANCE. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE
SPECIFIED PROCEDURES MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE & NEED FOR A SERVICE CALL.
On completion of the installation these instructions should be left with the Engineer-in-Charge
for reference during servicing. In addition, the Users Instructions should be handed to the User,
having had a demonstration of the operation and cleaning of the appliance.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CONTRACT
To obtain maximum performance from this unit regular servicing of the appliance should be undertaken
to ensure correct operation, it is functioning as intended, and safe to use. We recommend servicing in
accordance with SFG20 Maintenance Schedules and as a minimum, after 2,500 hours of use, or
annually, whichever comes first and that a maintenance contract be arranged with an appointed service
contact. Visits may then be made at agreed intervals to carry out adjustments and repairs.
WEEE Directive Registration No. WEE/DC0059TT/PRO
At end of unit life, dispose of appliance and any replacement parts in a safe
manner, via a licensed waste handler. Units are designed to be dismantled easily

IMPORTANTINFORMATION
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 the load as stipulated
by the appliance data label.
The electrical installation and connections should meet the necessary requirements to the local electrical
wiring regulations and any electrical safety guidelines.
We recommend: -
•Supplementary electrical protection with the use of a residual current device (RCD). If an RCD is
installed, it must be a type B or B+ with minimum 30mA fault current.
•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.
Your attention is drawn to:-
BS 7671:2018–Guidance Note 8 - 8.13 : Other locations of increased risk
It is recognized that there may be locations of increased risk of electric shock other than those
specifically addressed in Part 7 of BS 7671. Examples of such locations could include laundries where
there are washing and drying machines in close proximity and water is present, and commercial kitchens
with stainless steel units, where once again, water is present.
Where because of the perception of additional risks being likely, the installation designer decides that an
installation or location warrants further protective measures, the options available include:
•Automatic Disconnection of Supply (ADS) by means of a residual current device having a residual
operating current not exceeding 30mA;
•Supplementary protective equipotential bonding; and
•Reduction of maximum fault clearance time.
The provision of RCDs and supplementary bonding must be specified by the host organization’s
appointed installation designer or electrical contractor and installed by a suitably qualified and competent
electrician so as to comply with Regulations 419.2 and 544.2

1.2 SITING
The appliance should be installed in a well-lit position on a firm, level, non-combustible floor. The unit is
provided with rear stand-off plates to ensure a minimum 50mm gap between appliance and rear wall.
These must NEVER be bent, twisted or deformed, the 50mm gap must never be covered, blocked or
reduced. Ideally, the gap between appliance and rear wall be 100-150mm to minimise the strain on the
main cable.
CAUTION:
NOTHING SHALL BE PLACED UNDER THE APPLIANCE.
WHERE UNIT IS TO BE POSITIONED IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO A WALL,
PARTITION, KITCHEN FURNITURE, DECORATIVE FINISHES, ETC., IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT THESE BE CONSTRUCTED OF A NON-
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.
CLOSE ATTENTION SHOULD BE PAID TO FIRE REGULATIONS.
THE INDUCTION UNIT MUST NOT BE INSTALLED ABOVE AN OVEN OR
OTHER SOURCES OF HEAT.
1.3 ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
The unit is suitable for AC supplies only. The standard terminal arrangement is:
3 phase 3 wire connection (400V 3~)

Phase 2 BLACK
Phase 3 GREY
Earth YELLOW/GREEN
Neutral BLUE
Note: This appliance doesn’t have neutral connection, so we recommended
four core cable without neutral wire. However, if five core cable in use then
mains neutral wire need terminated at terminal block.
1.4 SUPPLY CONNECTION
a) Remove control panel to access the inlet terminal (see 3.1)
b) A suitably rated isolating switch with contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles must be
installed and wiring executed in accordance with relevant regulations.
c) Ensure the capacitor is discharged with appropriate discharge equipment.
d) Mains cable entry is at unit rear, and feed through the ferrite ring.
e) Connect the mains wires with terminal as described above.

5
Note:Mains cable must be fed through ferrite ring supplied before connecting to mains terminal
block.
This appliance is also provided with a terminal for connection of an external
equipotential conductor. This terminal is in effective electrical contact with all
fixed exposed metal parts of the appliance and shall allow the connection of
conductor having a nominal cross-section area of up to 10mm². It is located at
the rear of the unit and identified by the following label and must only be used
for bonding purposes.
MAINS INPUT CONNECTION CABLE IS NOT SUPPLIED; SUITABLE CABLE
WILL CONFORM TO CODE DESIGNATION IEC 60245-57.
