5 General safety rules
5.1 Operator’s duty of care
CAUTION!
The dishwashing machine was designed and constructed under consideration of a dan-
ger analysis and a careful selection of the harmonized standards to be observed as well
as of further technical specifications. The system corresponds to the latest state of tech-
nique and guarantees maximum safety.
The safety can only be guaranteed during operation if all necessary measures are taken.
The operator of the installation has an obligation of care to ensure that these measures
are scheduled, and also to check that they are correctly executed.
Measures to ensure the safe machine operation:
CAUTION!
The operator must especially make sure that...
... the washing machine is only used in accordance with the regulations.
In case of other use or operation, damages or danger may arise for which we decline
any responsibility (cf. chapter „Determined use“).
... in order to preserve the operational and safety guarantees, whenever required, only
original parts supplied by the manufacturer are used.
The user loses all evtl. claims if the system was altered with others than original spare
parts.
CAUTION!
... only appropriately qualified and authorized personnel use, maintain, and repair the
installation.
CAUTION!
… staff is regularly trained in all questions relating to occupational safety and environ-
mental protection and, in particular, that staff is familiar with the Operating Instructions
as well as with the safety instructions they provide.
CAUTION!
... the installation is only operated in perfect, operationally efficient condition, all safe-
guards and cladding panels are installed, and, in particular, that the safety systems and
switch elements are regularly checked for their operational efficiency.
CAUTION!
... ... machines accessible only from behind may be operated only with rear panel clad-
ding.
CAUTION!
... the required necessary protective equipment for maintenance and repair personnel is
available and worn.
CAUTION!
...... a functional test on all safety systems of the
machine / installation is carried out
during every regular maintenance.
CAUTION!
... the operating instructions are always in a legible state and completely available direct-
ly at the system.
CAUTION!
.... any necessary initial tests to parts supplied by sub-suppliers must be carried out.
More detailed information, if required, can be found in the relevant Instructions for Use.
CAUTION!
Once the washuing machine has been installed, put into service and handed over to the
customer/operator, no modifications (electrical or location modifications, for example)
may be made. Modifications to the cleaning machine, and in particular technical modifi-
cations carried out without the manufacturer’s written authorization, or any modifications
carried ou
t by unauthorized persons, will lead to the complete loss of any guarantee
claims and will invalidate any liability for the product.
CAUTION!
... equipment for optimising energy consumption must not be used to reduce essential
operating temperatures, as
set out in DIN 10511, 10512 and 10522. If you, the client,
install equipment for optimising energy consumption, any possible reduction in the quali-
ty of the wash and hygiene is your responsibility. If you, the client, install equipment for
optimising energy consumption, any possible reduction in the quality of the wash and
hygiene is your responsibility.

8.2 Preparation for washing and rinsing
The preparatory work described below must be carried out before each opera-
tion.
x Open the door.
x Place the screen and stand pipe in position.
x Close the door.
Caution! Danger of crushing.
Close the door with both hands.
x Switch on the appliance by pressing one of the program pre-selection keys.
During the filling and heating phase, the light above the pre-selection key will flash.
When the light
remains constantly lit, the machine is ready for operation.
The time until the operation readiness is reached depends on the temperature of the
supplied water and the installed boiler, resp. tank heating capacity.
In the case of cold water supply, the tim
e taken is: about 20 minutes.
8.3 Automatic dosing
The required detergent and rinse aid is moved from the containers into the tank or boiler
via electronically controlled dosing units.
CAUTION!
If unsuitable products are used, the life of the dosing equipment will be significantly
shortened.
We therefore recommend that detergents should have a pH value greater than 7 and
that rinse agents should have a pH value between 7 and 2.

8.4 Operation during washing and rinsing cycle
The following fundamental principles must be observed when placing the items to be
washed in the baskets:
x All hollow containers must always to be loaded upside down. Otherwise the water
will be trapped inside and they will not dry to a brilliant finish.
x Plates should always stand at a slight angle in the basket. The inside faces pointing
upwards.
x When using cutlery baskets, ensure that cutlery is always inserted handle down.
x Load the cutlery baskets with a mixture of spoons, knives and forks, as identical items
of cutlery can be too close together.
x Do not overload the baskets.
x Do not stack the dishes in the wash basket directly on top of each other. As the wash
water could not strike the items directly and unnecessarily long wash times would
have to be selected. Short wash times with baskets which are not overloaded are
much more economical.
8.4.1 Start the wash cycle
Program start key
x Place the items in the basket.
x Place the basket in the appliance.
x Close the door.
x Press the program start key.
The appliance cleanes and rinses automatically and switches off the wash program after
completion. The program cycle is indicated by a light on the program start key.
The wash time can differ from the set program time if the boiler heating capacity is not
sufficient for heating up the fresh water to the pre
-set boiler temperature during the
program time. In this case, the automatic wash time extension is activated.
8.4.2 Remove the cleaned items
x When the light goes out, open the door and remove the basket..
9 Shutting down the dishwasher
“Off” key
Program start key
x Press the ”0“key (OFF key). The machine is switched off when all the lights are
out
x Remove the stand-pipe.
x Press the program start key to drain the tank.
x The tank interior is sprayed with clean hot water after the tank water has been
drained. The door must remain closed. The waste water pump switches off aut
o-
matically.
10 Maintenance and care
10.1 Care, general

CAUTION!
Works/repairs which were not correctly executed and the use of unauthorised parts by
unqualified personnel endanger both operators and the appliance, and will invalidate
the
warranty.
10.2 Refilling of detergent
There are two different types of detergent containers:
Incorporated container
The storage container is translucent white in colour and is located in the lower part of the
stationary dishwashing machine. The lid can be opened after the container has been re-
moved from its position.
x Re-fill the container marked ”detergent“ if necessary.
External container
The container is located next to the appliance.
x Check the filling level of the container and if necessary, replace it by a full one.
CAUTION!
Only non-foaming alkali detergents (pH > 7) suitable for commercial dishwashers and
glass washers may be used.
Detergent dosing units must be checked to see if they are functioning properly if
there is reason to believe that they are malfunctioning. Carry out a visual inspection!
10.3 Refilling with rinse aid
There are two different types of rinse aid containers:
Incorporated container
The storage container is translucent blue in colour and is located in the lower part of the
stationary dishwashing machine. The lid can be opened after the container has been re-
moved from its position.
x Re-fill the container marked ”rinse-aid“ if necessary.
External container
The container is located next to the appliance.
x Check the level and, if necessary, replace the container by a full one.
CAUTION!
Only non-foaming acid rinse aid (pH < 7) suitable for commercial dish/ and glasswash-
ers may be used.
Rinse aid dosing units must be checked to see if they are functioning properly if there is
reason to believe that they are malfunctioning.
Carry out a visual inspection!
10.4 Cleaning
After the tank has been drained, proceed as follows:
x Do not use a foaming detergent for dish-washing by hand for pre-cleaning close to the
dish-washer. Foam can cause malfunctions in the dish-washer and a poor wash.
x Food residues sticking to the tank, tank heating element and sieves must be removed
with a brush.
x Dismantle the wash arms and rinse them under running water.
x Wash nozzles must be cleaned daily.
x The cleanliness of final rinse nozzles must be checked weekly and if necessary clean
under running water.
The inserts for the final rinse nozzles must be inserted with the prongs facing the water
flow.

10.4.1 Safety rules for cleaning
CAUTION!
The tank heating element may still be hot after the tank has been emptied. There is
therefore the danger of burns when the machine is cleaned manually.
CAUTION!
The machine, switch cabinet and other electrical components must NOT be sprayed with
a hose or a high pressure cleaner.
10.5 Maintenance of stainless steel surfaces
The appliance is made of high-quality stainless steel. Nevertheless, under special cir-
cumstances, corrosion may occur.
To maintain stainless steel surfaces permanently free from corrosion use
x only cleaning products which are properly.
CAUTION!
Use only products which do not attack the material, build up a film or cause discolora-
tion.
11 Basic information on the appliance
Each dishwashing machine is manufactured acc. to the latest state of the art technolo-
gy.
Operation is safe.
CAUTION!
Dangers could arise from this model, if it is not correctly operated by unsuitable operat-
ing staff
or if it is not used acc. to it’s purpose.
Liability
We accept no responsibility for damage of the appliance and other objects caused by op-
erating faults, resp. non-observance of the operating instructions. Any modifications to the
appliance - especially technical modifications inside - undertaken by unauthorised per-
sons without the written permission of the manufacturer will invalidate the warranty.
11.1 General description of the washing machine
11.1.1 Execution
Stationary square basket, 400x400 mm
11.1.2 Wash principle
The appliance has one wash and one final rinse cycle.
A centrifugal pump circulates the water out of the cleaning tank into the clean nozzles.
The water jets reach the items to be cleaned out of differing directions. Therefore an even
cleaning result can be guaranteed.
The cleaning cycle is followed by the fresh water final rinse. The items are rinsed via a
separate nozzle system with hot fresh water at approx. 65° C for glass and at approx. 83°
C for dishes and cutlery. Thus heating up the items for the following drying process. At
the same time the final rinse water serves for the regeneration of the wash water, the lev-
el of soil of the wash water thus being reduced.

11.1.3 Detergent dosage
The detergent dosing unit is designed for the automatic addition of liquid alkaline deter-
gent to the clean water. The detergent is transported out of the container into the clean
tank by means of a hose line. The dosing unit is self-priming. The dosing is effected dur-
ing each filling cycle and at the beginning of each programme cycle using timer control.
Normally, a dosing of approx. 2 ml of detergent per liter of tank water is the correct
concentration. This can be increased/reduced acc. to the water quality, items to be
washed and degree of soiling to 5 ml/l
or to1 ml/l.
Please observe dosing's instructions of manufacture's detergent!
11.1.4 Dosing of rinse aid
The rinse aid dosing unit is designed to automatically add liquid final rinse aid into the
fresh water.
The rinse aid is transported out of the container into the fresh water supply line by means
of a hose line. The dosing unit is self-priming. The dosing takes place during each filling
cycle using timer control.
The correct dosing results in a smooth, even water film.
In case of overdosing, there are
bubble and stripe formations - reduce dosing.
In case of under
-dosing, water drops remain on the washed items -
increase dosing.
11.2 Noise emission
Work place noise level LpA £ 70 dB
11.3 Data reg. the electrical and hydraulic equipment
See attached technical sheet
11.4 Dimensions, technical data, installation instructions
See enclosed documentation papers.
12 Non-ionizing radiation
Non-ionizing radiation is not produced intentionally but unfortunately comes about due to
electrical operating equipment (e.g. electrical motors, high-voltage cables and magnetic
coils).
In addition the machine has no strong permanent magnet. There is a high possibility of
eliminating the influence of active implants (e.g. pacers, defibrillators) by maintaining a
safety distance of 30 cm (distance of the field source to the implant).
