5. Initial Operation
After removing the packaging, check the unit casing and operating components for any possible damage
caused in transit. If such damage is found, do not connect the unit to the mains. Report damage immediately
to the carrier who delivered the unit and to DENIOS AG at the service number indicated above. The original
packaging should be kept.
Place the unit in a dry, stable location as required.
The floor must be level. If necessary, level out any uneven surfaces with suitable shimming material.
5.1 Electrical connection
The unit is connected to the customer's mains supply via the power cable and plug.
Mains voltage: The voltage of the power source has to comply with the details on the identification place of
the appliance
Warning: The mains supply must be fitted with a residual current protective device in accordance with
DIN VDE (Association of German Electricians) 0100! (See section 2)
5.2 Filling with the cleaning fluid
Two different cleaning fluids can be used in the Part Cleaning Unit C500.
a) Bio-Power cleaning fluid
•Pour 100 l (5 canisters) of Bio-Power cleaning fluid into the tank.
•Connect the unit to the mains. "On" will be shown on the display for 3 seconds. The heating system
switches on automatically. The warming-up process can take up to 2.5 hours, depending on the initial
temperature. The operating temperature is set at 41º C in the factory and cannot be changed. When the
operating temperature is reached, "41" will appear on the display.
The aerator will work continuously after the unit is switched on.
•Once the operating temperature is reached add the additive with the micro-organisms (1 can x 100 g) to
the fluid. The micro-organisms take 24 hours to become active. It is therefore recommended to set up the
unit for operation just before the weekend, for instance.
The parts cleaning unit is then ready for operation.
b) bio.x detergent (ready-for-use solution incl. micro-organisms)
•Pour 100 l (5 canisters) of Bio-Power cleaning fluid into the tank.
•Connect the unit to the mains. "On" will be shown on the display for 3 seconds. The heating system
switches on automatically. The warming-up process can take up to 2.5 hours, depending on the initial
temperature. The operating temperature is set at 41º C in the factory and cannot be changed. When the
operating temperature is reached, "41" will appear on the display.
The parts cleaning unit is then ready for operation.
The aerator will work continuously after the unit is switched on.
The two detergents should not be mixed together as far as this is possible.
Other detergents such as degreasers or alkali cleaning agents must not be used.

7. Operation
Place the parts to be cleaned in the cleaning basin in the bio.x Parts Cleaning Unit.
Do not exceed the maximum load of 250 kg!
Switch on the water pump by pressing the multi-control button on the controls.
Depending on the 3-way ball valve switch setting, parts can be cleaned by:
- rinsing them using the flexible hose and nozzle
- using the brush with detergent running through
Note: When on the middle setting, both outlets are opened.
The dirty detergent runs back into the tank via the middle plug outlet where special micro-organisms remove
oil and grease contaminants.
The water pump automatically switches off after about 60 minutes. The water pump can also be switched on
and off by pressing the multi-control button on the control panel.
Note:
When interrupting work, switch off the water pump only and do not disconnect the unit from the mains, so the
detergent remains warm. The micro-organisms in the detergent require heat and oxygen to degrade the oil
and grease. For this reason, the heating system maintains the temperature of the detergent at 41º C and an
aerator ensures oxygen is permanently fed to the micro-organisms. If the unit is switched off, or it breaks down
for a long period of time, the micro-organisms become inactive.
Energy-saving mode
The unit can be switched to energy-saving mode during downtimes such as night-time, weekends, or com-
pany holidays. To do so, the multi-function button is pressed for 3 seconds. "30" will be shown on the dis-
play. The temperature is maintained at 30º C in energy-saving mode. The micro-organisms remain active at
this temperature and optimum oil and grease degradation is guaranteed.
You can switch from energy-saving mode by just pressing the button again and the unit will heat the deter-
gent to 41º C again. The warm-up stage takes about an hour, depending on the ambient temperature. Once
this temperature is reached and "41" is shown continuously on the display, the unit is ready for operation with
optimum cleaning assured.

8. Maintenance
Warning! Before starting work on the cleaning table fixtures, switch off the electrics and unplug
from the mains! Test the equipment to ensure the power is off!
The unit can be opened at the side for servicing or to fill the tank with fresh detergent. To do so, lift up the
right-hand side of the unit top and prop it up using the bar you can find inside.
Servicing position for unit top
8.1 Fill level
Check the fill level against the markings on the tank wall regularly so you can refill to make up for any losses
through evaporation and removal. If the fill level falls under a minimum of 60 litres (lowest marker line), the
pump and the heating system switch off automatically for safety reasons. In such a case, "LO" is shown on the
display. Re-fill the detergent until the top marker line is reached. The message will disappear once there is
enough detergent in the tank.
8.2 Additive
More additive should be put in every 6 months to replenish the micro-organisms.
After refilling, the detergent must be left to stand for 24 hours so that the micro-organisms can become active.
It is therefore recommended to refill with the additive before a weekend.
8.3 Filter
The washstand is equipped with two filters as standard. A stainless steel perforated filter on the washstand
surface and a synthetic filter for impurities underneath. It is recommended to clean these filters on a daily
basis. To do so, remove the filters from the unit and rinse with water.
8.4 Cleaning fluid
The cleaning fluid has to be replaced if
- there is a significant fall in the cleaning performance
- when checking the fill level there are notable sediment deposits on the floor of the tank
After you have taken out the used cleaning fluid, the tank has to be freed of any sediment residue.
Please follow the same process when inserting the new fluid as for the initial operation.

Fine filter (14)
The optional fine filter, which can be fitted on the left-hand side of the unit, should be checked weekly and
cleaned if necessary. Release the filter cover by turning it anti-clockwise. Remove the filter cartridge and rinse
it thoroughly under running water, or replace it with a new cartridge. Reinsert the cartridge and screw the cas-
ing firmly back into place. Ensure the seal is in the correct position.
A fine filter retrofit should be carried out in accordance with fitting instructions 135149_DE_DE_BA_100.
Draining device
Used detergent can be let straight out via the ball stopcock underneath the tank.
A draining device retrofit should be carried out in accordance with fitting instructions 135151_DE_DE_BA_100.
Lid (17)
Closing the lid reduces loss of detergent due to evaporation, saves on heating costs and prevents the basin
from getting dirty unnecessarily.
Two M8 screw threads are provided on the unit to retrofit a lid. Attach the lid using the socket cap
screws supplied in the accessory kit. Warning: Do not tighten the screws too much as the user must
be able to open the lid easily.

10. Notes regarding disposal
Detergent
The relevant waste code number for a contaminated substance depends on the type of dirt removed and not
on the type of detergent. The applicable waste code number can be found in the European Waste Catalogue.
Contaminated substances can often be disposed of as a water and oil mixture in other hydrous systems.
Unused fluids can be fed into waste water treatment plant while taking into account local regulations regarding
wastewater disposal.
Appliance
According to the electronic and electrical appliance regulations, owners of disused appliances
are legally required to dispose of such items separately. Please help to protect the
environment by not disposing of disused appliances with household waste.
