Mobile Plate Dispenser OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Upright transport position
Transport the unit in an upright position only.
Transport with a truck or delivery vehicle
The unit may only be transported in a truck or delivery vehicle which features a loading ramp.
The loading ramp must not exceed an angle of inclination of 10°.
Only transport the unit when the castor brakes are released. Secure the unit to prevent it from
moving around. It is not permitted to transport the unit using on the castor brakes to secure it.
Secure the unit against vertical movement during transport. Use padded locking bars.
Protective films
Pull off any protective films when unpacking the unit. Otherwise, a fire could occur.
Adjusting guide rods
The guide rods must be correctly set to the size of plate being used. Otherwise there is a danger
of the plate stack tipping and plates slipping through between the guide rods and being dama-
ged.
The guide rods become hot during heating. Use protection such as pot holders or protective
gloves when handling hot guide rods.
Distribution height of stacked items
The distribution height of stacked items must be adjusted to current needs when commissio-
ning. If the stacking platform is set too high, the stacked items may tip over. Stacked items which
tip over can cause injuries. If the stacking platform is adjusted too low, the stacked items must
be removed in an ergonomically unfavourable position.
The unit interior can become hot during heating. Before setting the distribution height of the sta-
cked items, ensure that the unit interior has cooled down.
The springs for setting the distribution height of stacked items must be unhooked and hooked in
symmetrically. Otherwise there is a danger of the springs being loaded unevenly. Heavily loaded
springs are subject to increased wear. The springs must be attached in such a way that the start
of the spring is not pointing to the well centre.
Location
Never operate the unit next to equipment which emits large amounts of steam, such as a dish-
washer. Steam can cause moisture condensation on the unit.
When the unit is connected to the mains, there is a danger of the moisture film causing a short-
circuit or an electric shock.
Transport
Commissioning

11
Mobile Plate Dispenser OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Commissioning after storage
When the unit is brought from a cold storage room into a kitchen, moisture contained in the
room air condenses on the surface and inside of the unit. When the unit is connected to the
mains, there is a danger of the moisture film causing a short-circuit or an electric shock.
Do not operate the unit until it has reached room temperature.
Mains connection
The mains voltage and frequency specified on the rating plate must match the corresponding
values for the mains socket outlet.
The unit must not be used if the insulation on the mains cable or the mains plug is damaged.
The mains plug is only to be plugged in or unplugged when the unit is switched off. Otherwise,
the unit's electrical system and the mains socket outlet may become damaged.
Only unplug by pulling on the mains plug housing.
General Information
The user must be aware of the hazards that the unit presents and be able to assess them.
The unit may only be used by persons whose physical, sensory or mental abilities are not sub-
ject to any restrictions relevant to operating the unit.
The unit may only be used when it is in proper working order.
If there is damage, secure the unit against accidental use and have repairs carried out immedia-
tely by one of the authorised service points listed under Repairs.
Warning signs
The following warning signs are mounted to the unit:
Warning sign Meaning – Mounting position
"Warning: hot surface" in compliance with DIN4844-2
Replace any illegible, damaged or missing warning signs immediately.
Distribution height of stacked items
The distribution height of stacked items set during commissioning may need to be adjusted. If
the stacking platform is set too high, the stacked items may tip over.
Operation

12
Mobile Plate Dispenser OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Stacked items which tip over can cause injuries. If the stacking platform is adjusted too low, the
stacked items must be removed in an ergonomically unfavourable position.
The unit interior can become hot during heating. Before setting the distribution height of the sta-
cked items, ensure that the unit interior has cooled down.
The springs for setting the distribution height of stacked items must be unhooked and hooked in
symmetrically. Otherwise there is a danger of the springs being loaded unevenly. Heavily loaded
springs are subject to increased wear. The springs must be attached in such a way that the start
of the spring is not pointing to the well centre.
The stacking well is not suitable for use outside the unit body.
Loading
Do not place synthetic dishes in the stacking unit. The stacking unit and/or the synthetic dishes
can be damaged.
Plates with a diameter between 180 and 330mm and square ones measuring between
180x180 and 280x280mm may be used in the plate dispenser with 4 guide rods for each
stacking well. If smaller plates are used, there is a danger of the plate stack tipping and plates
slipping through between the guide rods and being damaged.
The same risk is present if the guide rods were not adapted to the diameter of the currently sta-
cked plates. For this reason, the guide rods must be re-adapted to the new plate size each time
the plate diameter is changed.
Load-bearing capacities
When loading, observe the information on maximum quantities of dishes specified in the tech-
nical data and the upper weight limit. Otherwise, the stacking unit or stacked items may tip over
and/or be damaged. Stacking units or stacked items which tip over can cause injuries
Loading of attached parts
Unit model with fold-down shelf
The fold-down shelf mounted on the short side is designed to store dishes and/or trays and may
not be loaded with heavy objects.
The permissible surface load is 25 kg.
Sitting on the folding table is not permitted.

13
Mobile Plate Dispenser OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Unit model with mounting frame for GN container
The mounting frame attached to the short side is designed to hold one or more GN containers
and may not be loaded with heavy objects.
The permissible surface load is 25 kg.
Sitting on the mounting frame is not permitted.
Hooded covers
If the unit is heated for a longer period without a hooded cover, a large amount of heat is lost. Al-
ways cover the unit with a hooded cover while heating. The hooded cover may only be removed
briefly to insert or remove dishes.
Only screw the hooded cover upward out of the retaining clip during removal until it can easily be
pulled forward out of the retaining clip.
Unit model with cleaning drawer
A large amount of heat is lost during heating if the cleaning drawer is missing. The cleaning dra-
wer must therefore always be inserted during heating.
Hot unit parts and objects
The unit top and interior and the cleaning drawer (optional) and objects (dishes) in the unit be-
come hot during operation (up to about +110°C) and can cause burns.
Protection (e.g. with pot holders or protective gloves) must be used when handling hot objects.
Access to temperature control
If the unit is freely accessible to guests and unsupervised, it must be positioned in such a way
that the temperature control cannot be adjusted by unauthorised persons. The unit side with the
temperature control can be turned to a wall, for example.
Castor brakes
Always secure the unit from rolling away by applying the castor brakes. The unit can cause inju-
ries and damage to property if allowed to roll away accidentally.
Change of location
Unplug the mains plug before each change of location. If you do not, the power connection
cable or the customer-supplied mains socket outlet can be damaged.
The unit should be pushed only, never pulled.
Always push the unit with two hands on the tube of the push handle. Depending on the weight of
the unit, if you push it with just one hand it is possible you would not be able to apply the brakes
quickly enough.

14
Mobile Plate Dispenser OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Be careful not to trap your hands (risk of crushing) between the unit and walls or other objects,
such as cabinets.
Avoid subjecting the castors to excessive load to minimise the risk of damage to the castors:
• Do not move the unit when the castor brakes are locked
• Avoid impacts
• Pull the unit carefully over thresholds or steps (without using excessive force)
If the unit is on a sloped surface, it must be secured by extra means, such as wheel chocks, in
addition to applying the castor brakes to prevent it from rolling away accidentally.
The unit can be tilted to an angle of 10° when stationary before it is at risk of tipping over. You
may only cross sloped surfaces with an incline <10°.
The unit may swerve out to the side when being pushed over a sloped surface. Two people (one
at each side of the unit) are required to move the unit over ramps or recesses.
