RESTRAINING DEVICES
Hot plates must be restrained to prevent tipping when
installed in order to avoid splashing, spilling, etc. of
hot liquid. The restraining method may be a manner of
installation or by separate means. Adequate means
must also be provided to limit the movement of the
appliance.
IF DISCONNECTION OF THE RESTRAINT IS
NECESSARY, IT MUST BE RECONNECTED WHEN
THE HOT PLATE IS RETURNED TO ITS ORIGINALLY
INSTALLED POSITION.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The Keating Electric Hot Plate is
equipped with a three wire terminal
block for customer connections.
Compare the hot plate terminal
connections to the appropriate
wiring diagram for the hot plate
(see pages 6-11 Wiring Diagram)
to see if the hot plate is connected
three phase or single phase. All
wires, cords, plugs, receptacles
and circuit breakers must be sized
adequately for the full load rating of the hot plate as
specified by local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, by the current National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code CAN 22.2 as
applicable.
The electric hot plate is also equipped with a ground-
ing lug next to the terminal block. For proper ground-
ing procedures, see local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, the current National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code CAN 22.2 as
applicable.
NOTE: The connections to the hot plate can be
changed in the field from three phase to single phase
or from single phase to three phase. This can be done
by simply changing the wiring at the terminal block. To
change the connections for your hot plate, see the wir-
ing diagram for your model on pages 6-11.
NOTE: For hot plates rated at 208-240 volts, the am-
perage ratings marked on the nameplates of the hot
plates are listed at 240 volts as required by UL.
NOTE: A hole has been punched in the rear of the hot
plate cabinet for a cord or conduit exit. If a cord is
used, the National Electrical Code, UL standards and
most local codes require a bushing or strain relief (not
provided by Keating) to protect the cord.
