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.
