1 General Description and Safety 1.4 PowerGranules®
1.4 PowerGranules®
• PowerGranules are specially designed to work with Granule pot and pan washing machines
from GRANULDISK.
• They ensure the best wash result as well as the longest working life both for themselves
and the machine.
• The composit material is approved for use in conjunction with food.
• As of August 2020, we introduce PowerGranules BIO®, a biodegradable granule as an
alternative to our standard PowerGranule. This new product has the same properties and is
to be used in the same way as the standard PowerGranule.
Collection of PowerGranules as part of daily cleaning
• Insert your Granule collector in the machine as per instructions in Daily cleaning section of
this manual.
• Choose a “Granule collection program” by pressing “STOP”, waiting 3 seconds, then press
& hold Granule button and Short program button until the text “Granule collecting program”
appears in the display.
• For a spotless clean wash result, check the recommended level (6 litres) of Granules every
day when collecting the PowerGranules. Top up with PowerGranules if the level goes under
the horizontal level mark. (See Figure 22 Check Granule level.)
• Do not mix PowerGranules and PowerGranules BIO® in the machine. Technically there
will be no harm to the potwasher, however the waste management is different (see below)
and therefore we recommend exchanging the whole batch of Granules when switching to
PowerGranules BIO®.
Exchange of worn out PowerGranules
• Please follow the recommended exchange of PowerGranules communicated by the
GDMemo™ (message occurs every 2 500 Granule cycles). Run a Granule collection program
as per above and replace with a new batch.
• After exchanging the Granules, reset the reminder by pressing the STOP button, wait for 3
seconds, then press the Granule button 5 times. OK is shown in the display during 2 seconds
after the reset.
• Worn out Granules should be handled as non-hazardous waste. Used Granules should be
sealed in a plastic bucket with a lid or in a plastic bag before being disposed of. PowerGranules
canbesortedasre
cyclable plastic or combustible waste. PowerGranules BIO® should be
sorted as combustible waste or according to local regulations. PowerGranules BIO® is
biodegradable and therefore cannot be recycled as plastic.
