13.Noise of empty machine operation, measured at the working places (fig. 1) at 1.6 m height,
are as follows:
place 1 place 2 place 3
LeqA level equivalent to the
acoustic pressure dB(A)
The peak of the acoustic pressure level is not indicated, as far below 130dB(A):

NOTES BEFORE WASHING
1)Make sure that:
??wall isolating switch is connected
??water and steam taps* are open
??there is no lack of water and steam* in the supply net
??tank and pump suction filters are clean and are located correctly and the overflow pipe is in
position and closed
??curtains are correctly placed
??inspection doors are closed
??detergent and rinse aid dispensers are full

OPERATION AND USE
Switching on
In order to turn the machine on simply rotate the main switch "Q2" to the right on to position
"1". Lamp "H01" will illuminate.
Close all machine doors.
Wait for lamp "H02" to turn on indicating tank is full.
Wait until the temperature on thermometer “T3” reaches 55/60°C; at this point the machine is
ready for use. Rotate the main switch "Q2" in position "2".
Select the machine speed using the switch "QV": for heavily soiled dishes we recommend the
first speed (position 1); for lightly soiled items the second speed can be used (position 2).
Select button "S2" to start washing process.
The lamp "H03" indicates that the pump is overheating, technical assistance required
The autotimer function with automatic reset (optional) temporarily stops the operation, if
no racks have been introduced into the machine. Placing a rack into the machine, this restarts
automatically.
On machines with autotimer with manual reset (optional), the working automatically stops,
if no racks have been introduced into the machine. Push switch "S2" to restart operation.

WASHING
1) Before starting the wash operations remove from the dishes all possible food leftovers and
grease.
2) Pre-soak cutlery and also any dishes before washing, if they have been left for some time
after being used.
3) Place the items to be washed in the baskets.
4) Make sure that the plates are turned towards the exit of the machine.
5) If the operator using the machine does not remove the racks from the exit table, a limit
switch ensures the conveyor and rinse cycle is stopped. Removing the rack from the limit
switch re starts the washing sequence.
INSTRUCTION DURING WASHING
1) Do not put your bare hands in the hot and detergent water in the tanks, as this may cause
burns and skin irritations. Should this happen rinse your hands immediately under fresh
water.
2) When the machine is functioning do not open inspection doors quickly.
3) Use only commercial non-foaming detergents for industrial dishwashers, supplied by well-
known and reputable companies.
4) Isolate the electrical supply to the machine in the case of a breakdown or defective
operation. For all repair work, rely exclusively on a Technical Assistance, approved by the
manufacturer and request that original spare parts be used.
5) At periodic intervals stop the machine, remove tank filters and remove the residues which
have accumulated. Do not remove the pump suction filters when the tank is full. For
machines equipped with the “DETREMPE” light prewash (optional) or on models ACS151-
ACS152 remove and clean also the basket filter fit in the hood.
6) If the rack advancing system has stopped due to the safety device (slip clutch) operating,
stop the machine by pressing the mushroom-shaped emergency push-button "S3" and
remove the obstruction which caused the problem.
7) Ensure the detergent and rinse aid levels, in the respective dispensers are kept topped up.
8) Make sure that water temperatures maintain their regulated values: prewash (T2) 40/45°C,
wash (T3) 50/60°C, rinse (T10) 75/85°C.
The non-observance of the above mentioned points may compromise the safety of the machine
and the staff.

INSTRUCTION AFTER THE WASHING SESSION
When the wash operations are complete:
1. Press button "S1" and turn switch "Q2" into position "O" to switch off the machine.
2. Isolate the machine by means of the wall switch and close the water valve and steam supply
(this applies only to steam heating machines).
3. Lift the inspection doors and make sure that they are perfectly hooked onto the support.
4. Take off the overflow pipe in order to empty the tanks.
5. Take out the anti -splash curtains and the filters for cleaning.
6. Check and, if necessary, clean the wash and rinse nozzles. Clean out the wash tanks with a
wash spray hose assembly.
7. For machines with a steam condenser remove the steam suction filter for cleaning (fig. 3):
8. Clean the external surface of the machine with a damp cloth; do not use jets of water, as,
apart from being dangerous, damage to electric components may occur; do not use abrasive
detergents or those containing chlorine.
9. Reassemble all devices into their locations, taking care that:
??the curtains are turned with the short side towards the entry of the items being washed
??the wash nozzles are turned towards the items being washed
10.Keep doors open in order to avoid unpleasant odours, when not in use.
USEFUL ADVICE
Maintenance
IMPORTANT: Before undertaking cleaning and maintenance work, isolate the machine from
the electric supply by switching off the wall switch or the disconnecting switch "Q1".
ATTENTION: do not unplug the disconnecting switch "Q1" when machine is switched
on.
Regular check and cleaning of the nozzles is advisable. The frequency of cleaning depends on
the quantity of leftovers and foodsoiling left on the crockery, insufficient cleaning of nozzles
will give poor wash results. Do not use corrosive products such as hypochloride sodium
(bleaching products), acids in general, steel wool and steel brushes for cleaning the machine
inside and outside.
To ensure the machine is kept in a perfect hygienic condition, it is advisable to carry out the
following periodic operations.
