ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Every installation site has different electrical wiring. Because many different local codes exist, it is the Owner
and Installer’s responsibility to comply with those codes. Omcan is not responsible for any consequential
damages as a result of failure to comply with installation requirements:
1.
Read all installation instructions carefully before starting installation.
2.
Remove all loose packaging and accessories and save for subsequent shipment or in case of concealed
shipping damage.
3.
It is the responsibility of the installer to comply with all federal, state and local codes.
4.
Any installation not matching the specifications discussed in this manual automatically voids the product’s
warranty.
5.
Company recommends that a dedicated electrical line be used for each cooktop installed.
Note: Electrical circuits should not be shared with any other electrical equipment.
Please follow the listed guidelines below to ensure product reliability:
Spacing Requirements:
• All units requires a minimum clearance of four 4’’(101.6mm) between all sides of the housing and any
surface or obstacle.
• All drop-in/built-in units requires a minimum clearance of open space below the unit of six 6’’ (152mm).
The space must have openings allowing for the flow of cool air to the cooktop housing intake vents. If
either the air intake or exhaust outlet is blocked, the internal temperature will rise, causing an error code to
occur (NOTE: The 6’’(152mm) can be reduced if additional fans and ducting are added to provide forced
ventilation).
• Avoid installing the unit near other equipment that generates excessive heat that can be pulled into the unit
by its fan (i.e. griddles, fryers, etc.).
•
Avoid placing the unit near items that generate excessive steam that can be pulled into the unit by its fan
(i.e.pasta cookers, steam baths, dishwashers, etc.).
Electrical Requirements:
• Always provide a dedicated electrical circuit for the equipment.
• Never use an extension cord or power strip, if one must be used, use a cord with a minimum of 1.5mm
gauge and no longer than 3 meter.
General Maintenance:
•
All units should be checked for build up and debris around the intake and exhaust vents on the bottom of
the unit.
•
If debris is found on the vents, you should unplug the unit and clean away the debris with a dry cloth to
ensure proper airflow is provided to the equipment.
Air flow and Ambient Temperature:
• Avoid ambient temperatures exceeding 50˚C/122˚F.
General:
•
Never leave an empty pan on the unit.
• Always turn the unit off when not in use.
