Instructions for the Installer
I. Warnings
Read this booklet carefully before starting installation and start-up. All installation, assembly, assistance, and extraordinary maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with local safety laws. Incorrect installation or modifications can lead to malfunction, damage, or breakage. The appliance is intended solely for cooking or heating food in industrial kitchens; any other use is inappropriate and dangerous.
II. Preliminary Operations
Upon receipt, check the product for transport damage and ensure the packaging is intact. If damage or missing parts are found, inform the carrier and retailer immediately, providing the Art. code and serial number (Ser N°), along with a photo. Ensure the installation area is clear for access. WARNING: The appliance may tip over during transport, causing damage to property and injury to persons. Use appropriate transport equipment capable of handling its weight. Do not drag or lean the device; lift it straight and place it horizontally.
III. Installation Area
Install the appliance in enclosed, well-ventilated areas (not outdoors). Before positioning, verify overall dimensions and the exact location of electrical and water connections. Ensure the door can open fully. The appliance is not designed for built-in installation; maintain a 2-inch (5 cm) space all around. Avoid placing it near heat sources, fryers, or hot liquids. If unavoidable, maintain specific distances: 20 inches (50 cm) from sides and above, and 28 inches (70 cm) from the rear. Do not place near flammable materials or containers (e.g., gas canisters) as this poses a fire hazard. If necessary, cover flammable parts with fire-resistant material and comply with fire hazard regulations.
IV. Preparing for Installation
Remove and dispose of outer packaging (wooden crating and/or carton box) according to local laws.
Removing Protective Film etc.
Remove the protective film from the external and internal walls. Remove all internal information materials and plastic packaging.
Stands Adjustment
Do not operate the appliance without its feet. Insert and screw the feet into the threaded positions on the base. The feet are essential for proper airflow, preventing overheating and damage to components. Ensure the appliance is level using a spirit level for correct functioning.
V. Water Connection
Place the device near a water connection. Before connecting, flush the piping to remove any remnants that could enter the magnetic valves. Install a shut-off valve and a mechanical filter between the plumbing and the appliance. Incoming water pressure should be between 150 kPa (1.5 bar) and 200 kPa (2 bar), with a maximum temperature of 30°C. If pressure exceeds 200 kPa, a pressure reducer calibrated to 200 kPa must be installed.
Water Treatment
For trouble-free operation, water hardness should not exceed 5°f to prevent lime scale deposits. For higher hardness, a water softening station is recommended.
VI. Electrical Connection
WARNING: Main connections must be performed by a qualified and authorized technician, adhering to national, international, and local laws.
Before connecting to the mains, verify that the frequency and voltage match the appliance's information tag. If the device is not equipped with a trolley, connect it first, then position it, ensuring the power cable is not damaged during placement. The cable should be uniformly exposed to room temperature not exceeding 50°C.
Proofers with Cable and Single Phase Plugs
For appliances with a cable and plug (single phase 220-240V), insert the plug into a suitable socket that can handle the appliance's required voltage. The product must be positioned so the plug is always accessible. The appliance comes with certified cable and plug; these must not be tampered with or modified. Only the cable can be substituted by a qualified technician; the earth wire must always be yellow-green.
Appliance Not Supplied with Cable with Three Phase Terminals
Units supplied with terminals require connection to the mains as per the manual's label. Use a rubber cable such as H07RN-F. WARNING: The yellow/green earth wire must be at least 3 cm longer than other conductors.
The device must be connected directly to the mains via an easily accessible switch that ensures complete disconnection. Correct earthing is mandatory and the earth wire must not be interrupted by the protection switch.
Cable Connection
Follow these steps to connect the power supply wire:
- (A1) Loosen the cable gland top and open the bottom rear part of the appliance by removing screws.
- (A2) Feed the new cable through the cable gland. Connect the cable conductors to the terminal strips according to the diagram on the rear label. Ensure correct connections, inserting copper bridges and cables under screws, tightening securely. The label specifies cable type and cross-section (mm²).
- (A4) Close the rear panel by tightening screws and secure the cable by tightening the cable gland top.
