3. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Never use alcohol or solvents such as turpentine in the appliance as they could
cause explosions. Do not place materials dirtied with ash, wax or paint in the
appliance.
Do not lean or sit on the open door of the glassware washer as this could cause the appliance
to tip over and endanger persons.
Never ever touch the heating elements in the chamber immediatly after a washing program has
terminated.
The heating elements may become slightly discoloured after the glassware washer has been
used. This is normal and depends on the operating mode. It will in no way impair the way the
appliance operates.
Discarded appliances must be rendered unusable. Cut off the mains cable after having
detached it from the electrical supply. After this, the appliance must be consigned to an
authorised waste collection centre.
If the appliance develops a recurring fault, isolate it from the electricity supply and shut off the
water supply taps. After doing this contact the Camlab Service Department.
The machine must only be used by specifically trained persons.
Camlab declines any liability for malfunction or accidents due to the appliance

This menu displays the following information:
. the name and number of the program activated; with or without
drying
. the phase in which the machine is operating (phase 0 and the
machine is being filled with water in the example. Water filling is in
two parts called “preloading” & “loading”);
. the temperature in the washing chamber (TL);
.(the target temperature (TC); (when on a heating phase)
. the time that has elapsed since the program began (RunT).
The screen will display similar information during the whole cycle.
When a program is running, the only key that can be pressed is STOP.
Once this key has been pressed, either the door can be opened (if the temperature is no higher
than 40°C) to add, remove or adjust the glassware or the cycle can be continued by pressing
START.
(To terminate a program, press STOP then RESET. After 2mins, OPEN DOOR? will be displayed.

(NB: The detergent and acid containers are normally external to the machine!)
Fig. 5.6.1
The washing chamber door can only be opened by using the button

19
In an emergency, the door can be opened by hand using a rod or screwdriver at least 15 cm in
length, with a diameter of 2-3mm. Proceed as described below to open the door:
. find the hole under the lower profile of the door;
fig 5.6.1.1
. insert the rod/screwdriver into the hole;
. push up the rod/screwdriver delicately without forcing until you hear the locking mechanism
release.
The door may be opened during a cycle only if the temperature inside the washing
chamber has not exceeded 45°C. Use the keyboard to open the door.
Depending on the settings chosen for the system, a password may be required to
open the door during a washing cycle. However, it is always advisable to wait until the cycle
finishes before opening the door.
It can be potentially dangerous to open the door when the temperature inside the
washing chamber exceeds 70°C due to the escape of steam!
Camlab declines all liability for damage to persons or property caused by forcing the
door open during a wash cycle.
