WARNING!
Mortal danger due to electrical shock
Never start a damaged machine or a machine with a defective mains cable.
If damages are suspected, for example due to smells of burning materials, disconnect the device immediately
from the mains and contact the LUGAMA service.
If the mains cable of this machine is damaged, then it must be repaired at Dörr or an expert service
point authorized by Dörr .
Please ensure that the mains cable is not placed next to hot surfaces.
Please ensure that the mains cable is not pinched and prevent it from rubbing at sharp edges.
Never open and repair the machine yourself. Please do not make any changes at the machine that are not
described in these operating instructions. The device includes electricity carrying parts. Mortal danger exists
after opening. Repairs must only be performed by service departments authorized by Dörr using original repla
cement parts and accessories.
Do not subject the machine to a gush of water (water jet).
CAUTION!
Risk of injuries
Integrated safety equipment must not be changed or dismantled.
Do not place your hands into the machine or its discharge.
Avoid cutting injuries by inserting the flatware while holding it at the grip. Keep your hands and
other body parts away from the discharge shaft as long as the machine is running.
Do not touch hot parts.
Never let the mains cable hang loosely. It can become a tripping hazard or it can be damaged.
The ON/OFF main switch must always be set to „0“ and the mains plug must always be pulled
before cleaning and maintenance work is performed. Always clean the machine moist but never wet.

2.1 INTENDED USE
The correct use of the machine is the drying and polishing of chrome, steel and silver flatware.
This includes:
Spoons Forks Knifes Coffee forks Tea spoons
2.2 IMPROPER USE

3. TRANSPORTING, STORAGE AND INSTALLATION
3.1 TRANSPORT
ADHERENCE TO THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED WHEN TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE:
Machine must not be tilted
Check in advance for existing transport damages
Ensure a safe and straight stand when transporting the machine again
Do not place any additional transport goods on the machine
Improper transport does not give the right to replacement and warranty claims.
3.2 STORAGE
Please adhere to the following items if the machine is stored or stored temporarily for longer
periods:
Do not store in a moist environment
Leave the machine in the packing material, cover it or package
Store stable
Consider the machine weight, e.g. for the floor loading capacity of racks
Do not place any additional objects on the machine
3.3 UNPACKING
Do not tilt the machine
Keep the packaging material for another transport or dispose of environmentally sound
3.4 INSTALLATION
It is recommended to place the flatware polishing machine close to the dishwasher.
Place the machine on a solid, straight and safe structure
Leave app. 20 mm distance to the wall because the machine slightly vibrates during use.
The operation and cleaning of the machine should be possible based on a safe stand
3.5 DISPOSAL OF THE MACHINE
It is mandatory to assign a specialized disposal company for the disposal of the machine.
Most of the parts of the machine consist of steel, aluminum, stainless steel and plastics.
Therefore, most parts can be disposed of normally. The vibration tub is coated with a
special artificial rubber (polyurethane) and therefore must be disposed of separately.

4. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Non-authorized and unqualified persons must not start, operate or repair the machine. The
integrated safety equipment must not neither be changed nor dismantled. Please adhere to
these operating instructions when performing all activities in connection with the flatware
polishing machine POLISTAR 4000.
When ordering spare parts or in case of technical inquiries, always provide the model name and
the serial number. The above information and the machine data can be found on the name plate,
which is attached at the inside of the cover. Information about the date, time, model name and
software version is shown on the display as soon as you close the cover again.
Please note that only original spare parts may be installed into the machine, because the warranty
claim expires otherwise.
In addition to the original spare parts, the POLISTAR 4000 also offers accessories. LUGAMA
offers POLIDRY (article number 204ZB00002) polishing granulate, POLICLEAN (article number
208ZB00002) cleaning alcohol as well as flatware transport carts in stainless steel (with PVC
tub and four steering rollers) at an optimal work height for the flatware insertion and discharge.
Please ask your authorized specialty retailer.
The machine is equipped with an UVC lamp. The light of the UVC lamp sterilizes the surfaces in
the flatware and the granulate.
ATTENTION!
Objects must not be placed on the machine! Neither the inside nor the surface of the machine must
be subjected to a gush of water, because water penetration can damage the electronics (see item
12.1 Cleaning). Under no circumstances must the machine be cleaned with jet water (hose) or a high
pressure cleaner. Do not use abrasives, acids, lyes, steel wool or steel brushes for cleaning, because
the machine would be damaged by these materials.
ATTENTION!
The radiation of this UVC lamp is dangerous for eyes and skin. For your safety, the machine is designed
in such a way that the UVC lamp switches off automatically if the machine cover is opened.
The flatware polishing machine will be heated to 115 °C. Let the machine cool down for a few minutes
before you start cleaning the inside of the machine. During operation, please do not perform any
grabbing actions into the inside of the machine or into the polishing granulate.

5. PURPOSE OF THE MACHINE
All restaurant operations must polish the flatware after cleaning - whether it is made of stainless
steel or silver - manually to remove calcareous stains and to give gloss to the metal. The flatware
polishing machine POLISTAR 4000 fulfills this work step automatically in a fraction of the time
required for the manual work.
6. TECHNICAL HELP
If you have technical questions or experience problems, please contact your specialty retailer.
7. LANGUAGE SELECTION
The POLISTAR 4000 is programmed for two languages - German and English. German is set as a
default. Please assign an authorized service technician to make a change of the language settings
because it involves current carrying parts.
Please direct your service technician to proceed as follows:
1. Switch the machine on using the ON/OFF switch.
2. Open the cover. The UVC lamp switches off automatically.
3. Unscrew the bracket screws at the front on the left and right.
4. Open the front flap.
5. Remove the cover from the control board.
6. Actuate the black knob for 3 seconds.
7. Check the display to determine whether the language change was executed.
8. If not, press the black knob again for 3 seconds.
9. Close the cover and the front flap.

8. FUNCTIONING OF THE MACHINE
The washed and cleaned flatware will be placed wet into the flatware polishing machine POLISTAR
4000 and it runs through a spiraled incline. This is where it gets dried and polished through corn
granulate by vibration. Whether made of steel or silver, after a short time the flatware appears
perfectly dry and glossy from the flatware polishing machine. The polishing granulate will be
brought to a constant temperature using hot air to dry the flatware and to evaporate the moisture
assumed by the polishing granulate.
9. ELECTRONIC CONTROL
The fully electronic control of the machine makes it possible to read the respective operating mode
on the display. In addition, the display also shows possible warning information/error messages.
