5 Operation
CAUTION Personal and property damage due to improper adjustment
The springs are exposed if the stacking platform is pressed down by hand.
Reaching into the gaps of the exposed springs may cause hand injuries.
Never press the stacking platform down by hand.
Be careful when attaching and detaching the springs. Pay particular attention
to the ends of the tension springs when adjusting springs on sharp edges.
5.1 Stacking platform adjustment
The appliance must be adjusted if one or more of the following crockery parameters is changed: diameter,
edge length, height, stack height or weight.
5.1.1 Spring adjustment
CAUTION Personal and property damage due to improper adjustment
When the dispensing height is exceeded, there is a risk of accident or injury
due to tipping of the inserted stacks. If the level of the stack falls below the
dispensing height, fingers may be injured if caught when removing dishes.
Adjust appropriately the dispensing height by attaching or detaching the
springs. When adjusting springs on sharp edges, pay particular attention to
the ends of the tension springs. Proceed with care.
CAUTION Risk of injury
Be careful when attaching and detaching the springs.
Pay particular attention to the ends of the tension springs when adjusting
springs on sharp edges.
Before loading the appliance, the dispensing height must be adjusted to the type of crockery used. The dis-
pensing height is adjusted by attaching or replacing tension springs.
The dispensing height must be adjusted to ensure that the uppermost items of crockery are constantly
moved upwards over the entire lift to an unvarying dispensing height between 0.59'' (1.5 cm) and 2.36'' (6
cm) above the upper rim of the housing.
Step 1 - Checking the spring adjustment
§Load a stack of 15 to 20 items on to the stacking platform to test the dispensing height.
§Wait for the system to self-adjust.
If the dispensing height of the crockery stack is about 1.97'' (2 cm) abovethe upper edge of the appliance,
the spring system is adjusted correctly.
If the stack drops down only a little or not at all, the dispensing height must be altered by adjusting the
springs.

Operation Section 5
Stacking platform adjustment Page 17
Platform dispenser for porcelain and lids
91365304_A0 BPN-P | BPN-D
Step 2 - Changing the spring adjustment
The dispensing height is adjusted by attaching or detaching tension springs on two attachment bars.
NOTE Arrangement of the springs
The springs need to be in a symmetrical arrangement between the attach-
ment bars to ensure that the stacking platform is guided smoothly and steadi-
ly.
The strong base springs (1) should be placed outside the attachment bars,
the frail base springs (2) should be placed inside. A slightly asymmetrical
arrangement of springs within an attachment bar does not pose a problem.
Figure 4 Attachment bar with tension springs (example)
If the dispensing height is too high, adjustable springs must be detached.
If the dispensing height is too low, adjustable springs must be added.
Procedure:
§Take out any crockery items from the appliance.
§Lift the stacking platform with your fingers in the grip holes, keeping it level, and place it down on the
appliance. Finally, take the stacking platform in both hands and put it down in a suitable place.
§Remove the protective grid.
§Attach or detach adjustable springs evenly in all groups of springs.
§It is best to detach the adjustable springs. Always leave the base springs inserted whenever possible.
Always detach the springs on the lower attachment bar.
§Reinsert the protective grid.
§Then reinsert the stacking platform using the grip holes.
Both steps must be repeated as often as necessary until the dispensing height is in therange between 0.6''
(1.5 cm) and 0.98'' (2.5 cm). The dispensing height only needs to be set once provided that the same type of
crockery is always used.
Figure 5 Grip holes on the stacking platform (BPN-D MM)
NOTE Maximum load-bearing capacity
The stacking platforms are set to hold a load-bearing capacity which is per-
fectly adequate for most common types of crockery.
In isolated cases, when using plates made of toughened glass, for example,
the existing springs are not strong enough and extra springs must be added.

NOTE Suitable size of the crockery items
Due to small holes on the surface of the stacking platform and the inner com-
partment panelling made of plastic-coated rods, too small crockery items
cannot be guided and, therefore, should not be used.

5.1.3 Calculating the capacity of the platform dispenser
The total capacity of a platform dispenser depends on the kind of crockery loaded and the number of crock-
ery stacks.
All leading manufacturers provide the necessary data for calculating the intermediate stack height in the fol-
lowing way:

capacity per crockery stack can be calculated together with the stack height HSof the platform dispenser:
K = +1 K: Items per crockery stack
HS: Stack height of the platform dispenser

5.2 Operation
Ensure that the appliance is clean and dry before putting it into operation.
Before starting work, you must always check that the platform dispenser to be used is set correctly for the
crockery that it is going to hold.
§The correct dispensing height must be ensured to prevent staff from sustaining injury or becoming
trapped and to prevent crockery from breaking.
§You must ensure that the crockery items are suitable and the stacks support each other.
Loading the appliance
NOTE Loading
Before the crockery items areinserted, the stack height must be set correctly.
Insert the items individually or in small safelymanageable stacks.
NOTE Payload
Make sure that the platform does not exceed the permitted payload.
§Fill the stacks alternately by the same amount.
§Place the first items on the centre of the stacking platform and move it down slowly.
§Position the further items precisely on top of the items already placed into the appliance.
Unloading crockery
§Remove the items evenly from each stack to avoid tilting of the stacking platform.
Moving the appliance
§Release both total locks.
§Take hold of the push handles on the appliance and move the appliance to its destination.
§Once at its destination, apply both total locks, so the appliance isn't moved by accident.
