6.0 INSTALLATION
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,
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

15
6.1 SITING / CLEARANCES
CAUTION: WALLS CLOSER THAN 150mm TO THE APPLIANCE
MUST BE NON COMBUSTABLE. IF SUITING THE NECESSARY
CLEARANCES TO ANY CUMBUSTIBLE WALL MUST BE THE
LARGEST FIGURE GIVEN FOR INDIVIDUAL APPLIANCES
INSTRUCTIONS.
THE INDUCTION UNIT MUST NOT BE INSTALLED ABOVE AN OVEN
OR OTHER SOURCES OF HEAT.

16
6.2 ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND CONNECTION
6.2.1 Remove control panel to access the inlet terminal (see 7.1)
6.2.2 A suitable rated isolating switch with contact separation of at least 3mm in all
poles must be installed and wiring executed in accordance with relevant
regulations.
6.2.3 Ensure the capacitor is discharged with appropriate discharge equipment.
6.2.4 Mains cable entry is at unit rear, and feed through the ferrite ring.
6.2.5 Connect the mains wires with terminal as described below.
Main Earth wire must be connected to the provided Earth post.
The electrical connections color code is shown in the table below.

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.

6.3 ASSEMBLY
6.3.1 Unpack, position appliance and level using feet adjusters as shown below.
6.3.2 Ensure fan intake filter is fitted and secured in position below control panel.
6.3.3 Connect to an electrical supply (see 6.2)
6.4 COMMISSIONING
6.4.1Switch all cooking zones on to position 10.
6.4.2 Ensure all L.E.Ds light and begin to flash.
6.4.3 Place a pan suitable for induction cooker tops, filled with water, upon a cooking zone.
The pan minimum diameter cannot be less than 120mm.
6.4.4 Ensure that corresponding L.E.D stops flashing and remains lit. This indicates that
“Pan detection” feature is working.
6.4.5 Repeat on all different cooking zones.
6.4.6 Leave pots to heat until water boils and switch controls to maintain simmer.
6.4.7 Switch control off.
6.5 INSTRUCTION TO USER
