Pitco Frialator L20-378 Electrical Connections, Ventilation and Fire Safety Systems

INSTALLATION

1.5. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

It is advised that this power supply be plugged into a wall receptacle that is controlled by the ventilation control. This will prevent the appliance from being operated without the ventilator on. If your appliance requires an electrical connection, the power requirements are listed below.

CAUTION

Connecting the appliance to the wrong power supply may damage the appliance and void the warranty.

WARNING

This appliance must be connected to a power supply having the same voltage and phase as specified on the data plate located on the inside of the appliance door.

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to connect the appliance to an electrical supply other then that indicated on the data plate. Electrical connection should be performed by qualified personnel.

WARNING

The electrical connection used by this appliance must comply with local codes. In the United States if there are no local codes that apply, refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70 for installation in the US. In Canada, refer to CSA Standard C22.2 and local codes. In all other cases, refer to local and national codes and regulations.

WARNING

If your appliance is equipped with an oil proof, electrical supply cord with a three-prong safety plug. This is to protect operators from electrical shock hazard in the event of an equipment malfunction. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding (third) prong from this plug; it should be plugged into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.

1.6. VENTILATION AND FIRE SAFETY SYSTEMS

Your new appliance must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas temperatures can reach as high as 1100 °F (593 °C). Therefore, it is very important to install a fire safety system. Your ventilation system should be designed to allow for easy cleaning. Frequent cleaning and proper maintenance of the ventilation system and the appliance will reduce the chances of fire. Ventilation and fire safety systems must comply to local and national codes for US and Canada. Refer to ANSI 83.11 for a list of reference documents that will provide guidance on ventilation and fire safety systems. For installations in U.S. and Canada, additional information can be obtained from CSA International, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, OH, 44131 or visit their website at www.csa-international.org. In Australia the ventilation system must comply with AS/NZS 5601.0.

It is essential that the appliance be operated only when adequate ventilation is provided. Your ventilation hood should be properly maintained. A qualified installation professional should ensure that the hood is operating properly in conjunction with the appliance. Inadequate ventilation may not properly evacuate appliance all emissions. Excessive or unbalanced ventilation may cause drafts, which could interfere with proper operation of the pilot and burners. Leave at least 18 inches (47cm) of open space between the flue of the appliance and the intake of the exhaust hood.
