A.4 Important Safety Information (Continued.)
In addition to the warnings and cautions in this manual, use the following guidelines for safe operation of
your Nieco Automatic Broiler:
• Read and follow all instructions before using this equipment.
• Install or locate broiler only for its intended use as described in this manual.
• Do not operate this equipment if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly or if it
has been otherwise damaged.
• This equipment should only be serviced by authorized personnel. Contact your local Nieco
Distributor for adjustment or repair.
• Use only genuine Nieco replacement parts for your broiler. Failure to do so will void the warranty
and may significantly alter the performance of your broiler. The use of non-Nieco parts is capable
of affecting these criteria, and may affect broiler performance, parts longevity and food safety.
The following warnings and cautions appear throughout the manual and should be carefully
observed:
• Turn the broiler off, close the main gas valve, and disconnect the plug before
performing any service, maintenance or cleaning on the broiler.
• Always allow the broiler to fully cool before performing any service, maintenance or
cleaning. Failure to wait for the broiler to cool fully may result in personal injury.
• The procedures in this manual may include reference to the use of chemical products. The
Nieco Corporation does not endorse the use of any particular cleaning/degreasing agent.
Use only those chemicals that are approved for use in your restaurant.
• The broiler should be grounded according to local electrical codes to prevent the
possibility of electrical shock. It requires a grounded receptacle with separate electrical
lines, protected by fuses or circuit breakers of the proper rating.
• All electrical connections must be in accordance with local electrical codes and any other
applicable codes.
• The use of adequate ventilation (as rated in this manual) with this broiler is mandatory.
Failure to adequately ventilate this unit and provide safe operating distances (as specified
in this manual) is a fire safety hazard. Follow the instructions for emergency broiler
shutdown in the event of an emergency.
• No attempt should be made to operate this appliance in the event of a power failure.
