SAFETY SYMBOLS
The following safety symbols are used throughout this product documentation and manual
(available at www.monoequip.com).
Before using your new equipment, read the instruction manual carefully and pay special
attention to information marked with the following symbols.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY AND ADVICE REGARDING
SUPPLEMENTARY ELECTRICAL PROTECTION:
Commercial bakeries, 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 supply suitable for
the load as stipulated by the appliance data label.
The electrical installation and connections should meet the necessary requirements of 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.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
will result in electric shock.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
will result in minor or moderate injury.

1It is recommended that the Aztec Doughnut Fryer should be sited away from
any main thoroughfare and that the surrounding floor area should be covered
with an appropriate brand of non-slip surfacing.
2VENTILATION should be provided with an extraction canopy to ensure that convected
heat and cooking smells are removed from the building. The canopy should extend a
minimum of 300mm (12”) beyond each edge of the fryer and have its lowest point
between 1980mm (70”) and 2740mm (108”) above the floor.
The extraction canopy should be fitted with a cleanable grease trap.
3Fittings are provided for the attachment of the draining board.
4ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The fryer should be connected to a 25 Amp, 3 phase plus neutral isolator at 25 Amp
with a BS 88 fuse.
5. Aztec doughnut fryers are dispatched with the carrier (1) in the mid way
position to avoid damage during the following check procedure:
When turning the main power switch (4) on, watch if carrier (1) moves up or down.
Turn power off immediately before the carrier reaches top or bottom positions.
If carrier moves UP, this is CORRECT.
If carrier moves DOWN, this is NOT CORRECT.
Transpose any two of the phase carrying wires at main isolator feeding the fryer.
