FOODTRUCK GUIDE
MANUAL FOR YOUR MOBILE KITCHEN In this document you will find technical information on the use of your mobile kitchen It is important that you understand: your mobile kitchen is not made for racing and loose equipment inside has to be fastened before moving. Also be aware of your car dimensions. Owner has the responsibility of maintaining the Mobile Kitchen and all equipment in safe condition. Be aware that gas and electric consumption of the equipment is made for the equipment suggested by Mobile Kitchen. Therefore your own additional equipment may not be able to run at the same time as the current set-up. Please understand that the kitchen box is made of material that can withstand up to 60 degrees, therefore heating insulation is placed on the wall behind the exhaust hood. We therefore advise that you do not place heating equipment at any other place inside the kitchen box. You are welcome to ask for advice if you are in doubt whether your equipment would do any damage to the vehicle. REMEMBER to empty and let the equipment in the car cool down before moving the vehicle. If you have a fryer installed in your mobile kitchen, it is strictly necessary that the frying oil is drained from the fryer before driving the car.

1. Gas
Gas appliances and flues must be maintained in safe condition. Servicing must be undertaken every 12 months. Any maintenance work should only be undertaken by a registered gas engineer and any proplems affecting its safe operation rectified as soon as possible. If you smell gas at any time, isolate gas at the supply and contact a registered gas engineer.
User on a regular basis at least once every month of operation should check the following: • Cylinder / regulator / changeover device condition – should be free from damage. • Gas hose condition – hoses and connectors should be clean and free from damage or abrasion. • Condition of gas pipes and connections • Visual check to ensure correct operation of appliances. If in doubt whether appliance works safely or not, it should be isolated using the appliance isolation valve and ’Gas Safe’ registered engineer called to carry out any repairs or replacements. Modification or repairs of gas installation or appliances without this certification is a criminal offence.

1. Storage room for gas bottles In the drawing you can see the placement of the storage room for gas bottles. Remember to lock the door before moving your car. Only keep the regulator, pigtails, gas spanner and cylinders here. No other items should be stored in the compartment.
1.1 Fixing your gas bottle 1.1
Remember to fix your gas bottles by placing the rubber ring around the gas bottle to ensure that the bottle does not fall over or move during transporting. We advise that you use metal LPG-bottles instead of plastic lightweight bottles.
1.2 Gas tap
1.2
Remember to turn off the gas to all your appliances and the central gas tap after using it. As displayed in the image, the gas is flowing when the tap is aligned with the pipe and stopped when not aligned.
1.3 Turning the gas connection on/off
1.3
Remember to turn off the gas directly on the gas bottles after use. The black valve is supposed to be in the position as shown in the image when you want it to be turned on (red flame). Green flame means it is turned off.

2. Electricity Accordance with IEC 60364-7-717 (2009) it is recommended to verify the unit at least once every 12 months. If you are running on mains supply make sure that for continuous operation you do not exceed the 3,5 kVA. In either case (running on mains supply or generator), the total wattage of all connected appliances must be considered. Limit generator Kipor IG6000 operation at 6 kVA power to 30 minutes. For continuous operation, do not exceed the 5.5 kVA power. In either case, the total wattage of all appliances connected must be considered. The generator must also be turned off while driving.
2. The generator room
2
In the drawing you can see the placement of the generator room. Remember to lock the room after use. We advise to use electricity from mains supply when possible. The doors of the generator room should remain open when it is in operation. User must be aware that high ambient temperature and high continuous operation power could cause generator to overheat and damage it.
2.1
2.1 Power source When you use generator power, you are supposed to set the power source to 1, as displayed in the image. If you are running on mains supply, set the power source to 2.
2.1
12VDC
230VAC
Two fuse boxes are installed: 1. Fuse box for 12 VDC supply (LED light, water pump, gas water heater, roof ventilator) 2. Fuse box for 230 VAC supply: • RCBO 16 A, 30 mA protects “A” letter sign sockets. • RCBO 10 A, 30 mA protects “B” letter sign sockets. 6

2.1 Voltage monitoring relay Red blinking light means that supply voltage is lower than adjusted. Value of Umin (minimal current value) has to be readjusted to 80 %. It means that Umin would be around 200 - 205 VAC.
2.2
2.2 The earthing connection To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances the generator should be grounded. Connect the generator’s ground terminal to an external ground source with the grounding wire.
2.3 Generator rails 2.2
2.3
2.4
The green button (marked in the image) is pushed inwards on both sides after which the generator can be taken out on the rails. When you push the generator in place, it is important that the rails are locked. The generator should be completely pushed either inside or outside at all times.
2.4 Oil for generator It is very important that you keep an eye on the light which is pointed out in the image. If the generator has no oil, it breaks and this is not covered by warranty. It is important that you use the right oil for the generator (15W40) and remember to top up weekly. The oil should be changed after 100 hours of generator work. Meter of generator work hours is installed on the side of generator.

2.5 Startup of generator Pull out the choker and turn the ignition for 3-5 sec, then push the choker in again when the generator starts. Remember to turn the gasoline-input to vertical position to make sure the gasoline can run to the generator, and horizontal when it is turned off.
2.6 Drowning of generator If the generator is drowned, turn off the gasoline tap, open the lid to the generator and unscrew the red screw. Let the gasoline run out. When it is empty, you can open the gasoline valve again and start the generator. If you experience the startup problems , check and wipe or change the spark plug.
2.7 Switch on SMART THROTTLE Always turn on Smart Throttle, when the generator is started. This allows the generator to automatically fit the actual power consumption.
2.8 Battery life 2.8
If you are not using mobile kitchen for two weeks or more, please turn off the generator and then plug off the black battery cable (shown in picture with a minus sign). This way battery will be prevented from discharge. The cable must be plugged in before starting the generator again.
All necessary information about the use of generator is written in Kipor IG6000 operation manual.

5. Water Generally, be aware of saving water in the mobile kitchen, because the tank only holds 40 liters.
5.1
5.1 Turn on the water pump Turn on the water pump with the button as illustrated (it is turned on and off by switching from 1 to 0). Remember to turn off the water pump after use. When the water pump is switched on, lights will turn blue.
5.2 Water Supply 5.2
5.2
It is important that the yellow hasp stands as shown in the image 5.1. Otherwise, the water runs out and not into the water heater. If the blue light starts blinking, it is because something is wrong. Typically, it is because the water tank has run out of water, but it could be several things: A) There is no water in the tank. B) There is air in the system, so unscrew the valve as indicated in the image. C) Holding tank is filled - remember to drain it after using and before new water supply
5.3 Ventilation for water heater
5.3
If there is installed gas water heater remember to remove the lid for the ventilation for the water heater before and during the use of the water heater. Please remember to put the lid back after use. It is very important to remember to turn on gas and to make sure that there is water in the water tank before trying to turn on the water heater.

Drain the waste water tank by opening valve as illustrated. Remember to close the valve after drain. We recommend you to do this daily, otherwise there is a risk of a smell inside the kitchen. If you expect to be in the same location for a long time and want to empty the water tank at your parking location, we recommend you finding a large plastic water bottle that you can gradually fill with waste water from the holding tank. Once a month you need to clean both water tanks. After cleaning make sure that cap is in right closed position (Two black dots should mach each other).
5.6 Choose between 50 or 70 degrees: If the water heater indicator blinks red, it is because it does not heat - it may be due to several things: A) The gas is not turned on B) You have not taken off the lid for the ventilation C) The water pump is not switched on D) There is no more water in the water tank After checking the above, try turning on the heater again. The water heater is 9 liters, and expect it to take 15 minutes before the water is hot. 13

6. Ventilation
6.1
6.1
6.1
6.1 Ventilation Use extract canopy to effectively remove the products of combustion, heat, steam and oil vapour from the atmosphere and ensure a safe use of appliances and comfortable environment for catering workers. To increase canopy performance rotate the potentiometer. If extraction in the canopy fails to meet minimum requirements, gas appliances are prevented from operating. Yellow light means that gas supply is on. For additional ventilation you can turn on roof ventilator (6.1). For ventilation purposes when mobile kitchen is not in use there are grills in the entrance door and also mentioned roof ventilator. Make sure that ventilation points are clean and free of blockages and that gas bottle compartment grills are not covered.
6.2 In case of fire 6.2
6.3
Turn off gas supply. Use fire blanket (6.2) to smother pan oil fires or to wrap a person whose clothing is on fire. Use dry powder fire extinguisher (6.3) on Classes A, B and C fires. The fire extinguisher works by ‘knocking down’ the flames and is very effective in putting out fires. In case of fire, turn off the generator or take out plug from mains supply socket (depending on the source you use). Call local fire brigade.

Additional comments on Mobile Kitchen’s equipment In general about equipment: It is especially important to make sure that you keep the equipment clean, because the warranty for the equipment will void if the equipment breaks because of lack of cleaning.
About fryers: It is necessary that you drain oil from the fryer before you move the vehicle, because the warm oil can damage the equipment.
About ovens: If you have one, please clean ventilation filters at least once a month this is needed to maintain electric components at a safe temperature.
About the cooking plate: When the cooking plate is turned on, it will not be able to be adjusted until it is warm. This is the way how the cooking plate works when you are heating up an oven, it is not a product mistake. Cooking plates often have a minimum temperature of 100 degrees. You need to consider that there are around 15 minutes until the plate is fully warmed up.

Cleaning stainless steel surfaces Use soft sponges and microfiber cloths as the first line of defense. Cleaning agents containing chloride or compounds of chlorine as well as other corrosive means should not be used, as they might cause corrosion of the stainless surface. Do not clean with steel scouring pads, which can scratch. Instead choose plastic scrubbing pads for tough jobs. Use stainless steel cleaner. On stainless steel surfaces with brushed or polished finishes, always wipe and scrub in the same direction as the “grain� lines in the metal.
Exhaust hood cleaning Always disconnect the extractor hood before cleaning. Never flush the unit with water as this may cause short-circuits in the electrical system. Grease filters and exhaust hood fan must be cleaned once a week to ensure proper operation of the unit. Using humid cloth clean exhaust hood fan. After cleaning drain the fan. Grease filters can be cleaned in a dishwasher. The equipment should be checked before it is put into operation again.
