Safety Regulations
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE FORCED CONVECTION OVEN
Generally
Please read the following text carefully and pay particular attention to the instructions on
safety at work and on commissioning.
Please keep this manual at a safe place. It contains instructions that are also important
for later maintenance or cleaning work.
The machines are not intended for integration or interconnection with other machines or
equipment. They may only be operated in rooms equipped for this purpose and operated
only by qualified specialist personnel (soldering skills). Children and pets are to be kept
away!
Do not use the oven if it is damaged or does not work properly.
Avoid strong shocks and collisions. This could damage the glass heating rods. If the
glass heating elements are damaged, switch off the machine immediately and replace
with original glass heating rods.
Do not run the oven unattended !
Site
The oven must be level and dry and there must be enough space around the oven for
service and maintenance (about 1m on all sides). Do not use this device outdoors! The
table must be able to carry a weight of at least 30 kg. The oven should be used at normal
room temperatures of 15 to 25 degrees.
It is not allowed and even dangerous to install the oven in a cabinet or box. Do not install
this unit near a heating element or stove, even in a damp environment.
Electricity
The machine is manufactured using tested parts according to the usual electrical safety
regulations. However, this does not relieve the user of his duty of care when handling
electrically operated devices.
The main switch disconnects the machine from the power supply. The protection of the
circuit and the fault circuit must be carried out by the customer (13A).
After completion of work, the main switch should always be switched off.
Before carrying out any work on the machine (cleaning, etc.), switch off the machine and
pull out the mains plug. The power outlet should be near the machine and accessible so
that the plug can be pulled quickly in an emergency. This stove must have its own socket,
which may only be used by this stove.
High voltage - the housing may only be opened by qualified persons. High voltages can
cause death or serious injury.
Keep the plug and power cord away from liquid. Avoid liquids entering through the door
or through the ventilation grilles.
Should this nevertheless happen once:
Immediately switch off the oven and unplug the appliance from the socket.
In case of damage, the power cord may only be replaced by qualified persons.
