240 volt units. Each unit comes supplied with a mains connection lead already tted with a correctly rated fuse. The fuse rating and other
details for each unit are shown on the voltage plate which is riveted to the back of the unit. It is important that if the fuse needs to be replaced,
it must ONLY be replaced with one of the correct rating.
110 volt units are supplied with a cable but without a plug or fuse. Refer to the voltage plate for the correct fuse requirement.
These units should be wired in by a suitably qualied electrician to the following:-
BROWN ‘L’Live pin

Supply switch operation.
A temperature check can be done by using a suitable temperature probe inserted 100mm into the cabinet via the vent. If the cabinet requires a
temperature adjustment, see ‘Calibration’ section in the full manual.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Ensure that the unit is situated in a clean, dry condition and when not in use, stored in a normal warm atmosphere.
The following checks are recommended every six months:
- Check the plug top connections are tight and the fuse rating is correct.
- Check the operation of the overheat protection system by warming the oven to a set temperature. Then using the Set Point page, set the Set
Point temperature 15
º
C lower. An alarm message should then appear on the screen to show both oven sensor and safety sensor values (image
shown on opposite page). Ensure these are the same and then increase the Set Point back to its normal condition.
- Carry out a portable appliance test (PAT) using an appropriate appliance tester operated by a competent person.
- Check that the control temperature is maintained within limits.
