Training and competence
To help ensure the safe use of this appliance there is a requirement for you to provide
whatever information, instruction, training and supervision as is necessary to ensure, so
far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of all users.
For further help and information on training and competence we would refer you the

Risk assessment
As part of managing the health and safety of your business you must control any risks
identified in your commercial kitchen. To do this you need to think about what might
cause harm to people and decide whether you are taking reasonable steps to prevent
that harm. This is known as risk assessment. It is important to consider the environment
around the product as well as the product itself. For example oil or food spills will present
a significant risk so users so the need to immediately clean up such spills must be
reflected in staff training.
For further help and information on risk assessments we would refer you to you the
Health and Safety Executive website; www.hse.gov.uk document ref: risk assessment
INDG163. International customers should default to the health and safety guidelines
provided by your government body.

THE CLEAN SETTING IS USED FOR CLEANING ONLY, IN
THIS POSITION THE ELEMENTS CAN REACH 400°C.
DO NOT LEAVE THE CHARGRILL RUNNING ON A HIGH
SETTING FOR PROLONGED PERIODS WHEN NOT
COOKING.
TO MAINTAIN ELEMENT HEAT TURN THE CONTROL TO A
LOWER SETTING.
2.4 CHEF’S RECOMMENDATIONS
2.4.1 Element temperature must be regulated for different circumstances.
2.4.2 The food absorbs heat from the elements, when the chargrill is in continuous use and
cooking large quantities of food, it may be necessary to turn the control to a higher
setting than is normally required for smaller batches
2.4.3 Lightly oil the food item that is being cooked, prior to placing it on the pre-heated
element.
DO NOT PLACE NON-FOOD OBJECTS ON ELEMENTS,
INCLUDING METALLIC OBJECTS FOR EXAMPLE; POTS,
PANS OR UTENSILS AS THIS MAY CAUSE OVERHEATING
OF THE ELEMENTS AND LEAD TO A NON-WARRANTY
FAILURE.

3.0 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
When removing heavy items to aid cleaning or maintenance particular care should be taken.
A manual handling risk assessment is the best way to determine the level of risk to anyone
using or maintaining this equipment. To help with such an evaluation we have included the
weights of individual components that may present significant risk.
For further help and information on manual handling and associated risk assessment we
would refer you to you the Health and Safety Executive website; www.hse.gov.uk document
ref: manual handling at work INDG143. International customers should default to the health
and safety guidelines provided by your government body.
The cleaning of fryers or other products that use hot oil present significant risks to end users
and particular care should be taken. Cold water and hot oil for example are an explosive mix
and should be avoided at all costs.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY AND ADVICE REGARDING SUPPLEMENTARY ELECTRICAL
PROTECTION

19
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)
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.
6.1 SITING / CLEARANCES
This appliance cannot be sited next to a combustible wall.
IF SUITING, THE NECESSARY CLEARANCES TO ANY
COMBUSTIBLE WALL MUST BE THE LARGEST FIGURE
GIVEN FOR INDIVIDUAL APPLIANCE INSTRUCTIONS.
