GENERAL SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION REGULATIONS
Personnel responsible for using the equipment
The use of the equipment is reserved for trained personnel.
- Personnel who perform any action on the oven, such as operation, cleaning, installation, handling, etc., must be familiar with the safety regulations and the Operating Instructions.
- Do not allow unauthorized personnel to use, handle or clean the equipment.
Electrical hazard
Work on the electrical supply side and access to live parts may only be carried out by qualified personnel under their own responsibility. In any case, such access must be made with the equipment disconnected from the power supply.
Thermal hazard
- Keep the ventilation openings free of obstacles. Do not install the equipment in the vicinity of flammable products.
RECEPTION, TRANSPORT AND POSITIONING
Before carrying out the installation, they must verify the electrical characteristics of the equipment and make sure that they coincide with the characteristics of the electrical installation of the building. This equipment has an outlet pipe for the water resulting from condensation, so a nearby drain must be available to lead the condensation water to it.
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 equipment are missing. If you detect any anomaly or problem, contact your dealer immediately.
Transport
The equipment should be transported in its original packaging to the closest location to the point of installation to avoid damage as much as possible. It is recommended to keep the original packaging until the equipment is properly installed and in operation. To move the equipment and place it in your workspace, the following observations should be taken into account:
- The handling must be done with the necessary personnel to move the load of the furniture taking into account the current occupational safety regulations at the place of installation.
- Make sure that during transport it does not tip over and is not hit by any object.
INSTALLATION
Before starting the installation, remove the protective film. Slowly peel off the protective film from the equipment, clean the glue residue with a suitable solvent, without using tools that can damage the surfaces or acid detergents or abrasives.
Positioning
Once the equipment has been unpacked, place the hood on the Mychef oven.
- Unscrew the rear screws to separate the rear cover from the hood.
Rear cover removal - On the front part of the hood, cut the opening through the slot to facilitate fitting to the fixed side of the door.
Fit of the hood on the front - Position the hood on the oven, flush with the sides and at the back so that the chimney of the Mychef oven coincides with the inlet hole located at the bottom of the condensation hood. Positioning of the condensation hood
- Connect the hood tube to the chimney and place the flange.
Flange assembly - Screw the hood rear cover.
Screwing rear cover
- Keep all ventilation openings clear of obstacles.
In case of mounting the hood on several stacked Mychef ovens, the chimney of the lower unit must be channelled and connected to the rear inlet of the condensing hood. To do this, remove the plastic plug provided in the hood inlet and make the connection using a 40mm inner Ø tube. See following picture for reference. Hood connection in stacked ovens
Electrical connection
Check that the voltage that reaches the point where the oven is going to be connected coincides with the operating voltage of the equipment. Before carrying out any electrical work, check that no electrical current is reaching the equipment connection point. Ensure an effective ground connection in all cases. The wiring and other safety devices used for the electrical installation must have the appropriate cross-section for the equipment in question.
- Remove the rear cover of the oven for the electrical connection. Rear cover of the oven
- Insert the cable gland and connect the communication cable.
Electrical assembly - Connection of the hood to the electrical network.
Electrical connection
Verify, once the connection is made, that no cables are loose and that they are all firmly attached.
- In any case, respect the current regulations for connecting the equipment to the low voltage network.
Drain connection
The condensation hood is a device that collects the water vapor from the oven
that comes out through the chimney and condenses it, eliminating the
condensation water through a drain pipe. This tube is located on the back of
the equipment. Connect the drain hose with a flange.
Drain connection
Connect said outlet with a drainage point of the building installation, using
the flexible Ø20mm tube provided.
HOOD OPERATION
This hood has the function of condensing the steam that comes out of the oven chimney and sucking in through the front part when the oven door is opened. The smoke evacuation can be direct to the environment with natural ventilation or through an existing extraction system at the installation site.
Turning on the equipment
The hood will automatically activate when the oven is turned on. When the door is opened, the suction capacity at the front is increased.
MAINTENANCE
- Before the appliance is handled for maintenance or repair, it should be disconnected from the electricity grid.
- If the power cable is damaged, it should be replaced by its aftersales service or by personnel with similar qualifications in order to avoid danger.
Cleaning
To clean the outer casing, use a cloth dampened with water and dish soap or a specific stainless-steel cleaner. Then rinse and dry. Cleaning of the hood must be done regularly in less than 12 months. For meats and roasts, cleaning should be every 3 months; for confectionery every 6 months.
- Cleaning the steam condensation hood with pressure cleaning equipment is harmful to the appliance and may cause the appliance to break, and it will void the warranty.
