3. GENERAL SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION REGULATIONS
3.1. Personnel responsible for using the equipment
The use of the appliance is reserved for trained personnel.
Personnel performing any action on the oven, be it use, cleaning,
installation, handling, etc., must be aware of the safety regulations and
operating instructions.
Do not allow unauthorised personnel to use, handle or clean the appliance.
3.2. Electrical hazard
Work on the electrical power supply and access to live parts may only be carried out by
qualified personnel under their own responsibility. In any case, such access must be carried
out with the appliance disconnected from the power supply.
Do not allow the appliance to be moved while connected to the power supply to avoid
possible damage to the wiring, drain or water inlet pipes. If the unit is to be moved or
repositioned, the wiring, drain and water inlet pipes must be disconnected.
3.3. Thermal hazard
When the appliance is in operation, the door must be opened slowly and carefully to avoid
possible burns from steam or hot air escaping from inside the cooking chamber.
Keep ventilation openings free of obstructions. Do not install the appliance
in the vicinity of flammable products. Avoid positioning the oven near heat
sources such as stoves, grills, fryers, etc.
Check the safety distances in section Location.

3.4. Danger of corrosion
When using cleaning products, special care and appropriate safety measures should be
taken when handling these products. Always read the safety data sheet of the different
chemical products before use and follow the instructions for use. These products in contact
with any part of the body are abrasive and can cause skin and eye irritations and
caustications.
During the cleaning process of the combi steamer and in case of formation of aerosols or
mist during the handling of the cleaning products, wear a mask with particle filter type P2 /
P3, goggles against splashes and/or projections, and chemical protection gloves.

4. RECEPTION, TRANSPORT, AND LOCATION
Before installation, the dimensions of the site where the appliance is to be located and the
electrical and water connections must be checked to ensure that they are within the
parameters detailed in section 4.3.
4.1. Reception
Once the oven has been received, check that the model purchased corresponds to the
order.
Check that the packaging has not been damaged during transport and that no parts of the
appliance are missing. If you detect any anomaly or problem, contact your distributor
immediately.
4.2. Transport
The appliance should be transported in its original packaging to the location closest to the
point of installation to avoid damage as much as possible. It is recommended to keep the
original packaging until the appliance is properly installed and operational.
When moving the appliance and placing it in its workspace, the following remarks should
be taken into account:
-The dimensions of the different models to pass through narrow places (corridors,
doors, narrow spaces). See chapter 2.
-Handling must be carried out by the personnel necessary to move the load of the
furniture, taking into account the current occupational safety regulations at the place
of installation.
-During transport, the oven must always be in an upright position. It must be lifted
perpendicular to the floor and transported parallel to the floor.
-Make sure that it does not tip over during transport and that it does not hit any
objects.
Once out of the packaging, the trolley must be removed from the interior before any
movement of the trolley.
The packaging of the oven has two wooden boards, these should be placed on the oven
floor, one at the front and the other at the back. Once the two wooden boards are in place,
we can proceed to pass the tines of a forklift truck as close as possible to the legs and lift
the oven off the pallet.

Lifting the oven with a forklift truck
If you do not have a forklift, the pallet has metal skids to slide the oven. First, the plates that
secure the movement of the legs must be removed. This operation must be carried out with
great care, as the weight of the oven is heavy and can be damaged during the process. It is
recommended that the oven is lowered from the pallet by several people.

Be careful with the legs and the siphon when positioning the oven on the
final location.
Be careful when lowering the oven from the pallet to avoid causing any
damage to the appliance.
4.3. Location
-Place the oven at a convenient distance from the wall so that electrical and water
connections can be made. There must be a minimum distance between the oven
parts so that it can ventilate and cool properly. This minimum distance is:
o50mm on the left and right sides
o50mm at the rear
o500mm from the top
-If there are sources of heat or steam near the appliance (stove, grill, griddle, fryer,
pasta cooker, kettle, tilting frying pan, etc.), these must be at a distance of more than
1 metre.
-Check that the oven is not exposed to hot air or vapours in the areas where the
cooling fans are located (front right area and rear left area).
