INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
This appliance must be earthed.
An equipotential bonding terminal is provided to allow cross bonding with other
equipment.
If replacing the plug connect the terminals as follows:
Green and Yellow wire Earth E
Blue wire Neutral N
Brown wire Live L
Fig 1

IS 610 ECN 3946 Page 5 of 13
Means of isolation with at least 3mm contact separation in all poles must be
incorporated into the fixed wiring of this appliance.
The fixed wiring insulation must be protected by insulated sleeving having a
temperature rating of at least 60 Deg C.
Supply cords shall be oil resistant, sheathed flexible cable not lighter than ordinary
polychloroprene or equivalent elastomer sheathed cord (code 60245 IEC 57)
Install this appliance on a level surface ensuring all vents are unobstructed. Any
partitions, walls or furniture must be of non-combustible material. Minimum
distances A 100mm B 1000mm –see Fig 1.
Ensure there is a space of at least (1000 mm) between the working surface and any
ceiling.
Install this appliance beneath an extraction canopy.
Connection of the supply cable is behind the fascia panel at the front of the
appliance. Remove the fascia and fit a suitable cable through the cable guide to the
terminal block.
Connection to a mains water supply is provided at the rear of the appliance. There
is also an overflow pipe that must be connected to a waste outlet in case of
accidental overfilling of the tank. The appliance must not be operated without water
in the tank, as it will result in the operation of the safety cut-out beneath the facia
panel. (See operating instructions). Check the fill rate. If it is considered excessive,
source and fit a flow restrictor.
The appliance may be manually filled via the fill box at the front of the appliance.
However, we do not recommend this as the regular way to fill the tank.
When the appliance has been installed in the intended position, the legs should be
adjusted to maintain a level top. Use a spirit level to determine that the chargrill is
level left to right and front to back. This procedure is critical, as it can affect the
safety cut-out operation and also assist the drainage of the appliance.
Anti-slip washers are provided to create a slip free pocket for the front feet, so
preventing movement during operation. Ensure the work surface is structurally safe
before installing the washers.
Ensure that the operator understands how to fill the water tank, safely operate,
shutdown and clean the appliance, and is aware of the position of the isolating
switch.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Only qualified or trained personnel should use this appliance.
This appliance should not be operated unattended.
Fig 2
Preparation
Before first use, wash the branding plates, dry immediately and coat with a thin film
of cooking oil to encourage a coating which resists rust. Operate the appliance
without any food products to season the branding plates. During the lifetime of the
appliance, repeating this coating process whenever the coating has been removed
will prevent rust on the branding plates. Do not put the branding plates into a
decarboniser.

LEVEL GUAGE
FILL TANK
Filling
Open the water fill valve anticlockwise to fill the tank, closing the valve as soon as
the water level in the fill tank reaches the “Max Fill Level” (Fig 3). As a secondary
measure, ensure the water level does not fall below the lower leg of the level gauge
(Fig 3).
If a mains water supply is not available, the appliance can be hand filled via the fill
tank at the front of the unit. Do not pour water directly on the grill area or element.
If the appliance starts to overflow before the water level reaches the “Max Fill
Level”, the rear legs should be adjusted up, so that the unit sits level. When the
level has been reached, close the valve without over-tightening.
For optimum use, keep the water inlet set to a trickle feed for continuous filling of
the tank.
NB.
If the water level is not maintained the safety cut-out will operate. The appliance
will then need to be cooled before the cut-out can be reset. Reset by pressing the
red safety cut-out button (C) beneath the facia (Fig 2). When refilling with water
after overheating, extreme caution should be used, as cold water may react with the
contents if they have been allowed to build up and become volatile.
For additional safety, the OE8406 has two safety cut-outs, BOTH of which will need
resetting in the event of a fault.

Operating
Switch on the power supply at the isolating switch –the green neon will illuminate.
OE8405 –The branding plates create one large cooking zone, divided into three
equal areas, each independently controlled.
OE8406 –The branding plates create one large cooking zone, divided into six equal
areas, each independently controlled.
Turn the control knobs to the desired setting. On settings 1-5 the elements will
cycle to maintain the temperature. On setting 6 the elements remain on constantly.
To turn the appliance off after cooking, rotate all control knobs to the ‘Off’ position,
and turn off both electrical supply and water supply.
CLEANING
Do not use a water jet or steam cleaner, and do not immerse this appliance.
Clean all panels with warm water and mild detergent, do not use abrasive materials.
Dry with a soft cloth.
After the appliance has cooled, remove the branding plates, splashguard and water
level indicator. Lift and lock the element up, ensuring the stay is securely latched.
Remove any food debris from the tank and pour a quantity of warm soapy water
into the tank to assist with draining.
Drain the tank into a receptacle, and then clean all exterior panels with warm water
and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive materials or any products containing
chlorine or hydrochloric acid. Dry with a soft cloth.
Clean and dry the branding plates –for stubborn deposits a de-greasing agent
‘Carbon-Off’ is available from Lincat.
Lower the elements and replace all removable parts correctly.
Coat the branding plates lightly with cooking oil to avoid rusting.
