5 General safety instructions
5.1 Operator's obligation for care
CAUTION!
The dishwashing machine has been constructed based on a risk analysis and after care-
ful selection of the applicable harmonized standards, as well as additional technical spec-
ifications. It therefore corresponds to the latest technology and is guaranteed to provide
maximum safety.
This level of safety can only be achieved in practice, however, if all the 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 ensure in particular that ...
... the washing machine is only used in accordance with the regulations.
Should it be used in any other way, damage or danger may occur, for which we accept
no liability (see the chapter on "Use for the Purpose Intended“).
... in order to preserve the operational and safety guarantees, whenever required, only
original parts supplied by the manufacturer are used.
the user will lose the right to any possible claims if the appliance is modified using any
parts other than original parts.
CAUTION!
... only appropriately qualified and authorized personnel use, maintain, and repair the
installation.
CAUTION!
... the relevant personnel is regularly trained in all questions relating to safety at work and
environmental protection and, in particular, that they are familiar with the operating in-
structions as well as with the safety information provided in them.
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 cladding.
CAUTION!
... the required personal protective equipment is made available to maintenance and
repair personnel, and is worn by them.
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 kept in legible, complete condition at the place
where the installation is installed, and are always at hand.
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 washing 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. Any modifications to the washing machine especially technical modifica-
tions inside - undertaken by unauthorised persons without the written permission of the
manufacturer will invalidate the warranty.
CAUTION!
... equipment for optimising energy consumption must not be used to reduce essential
operating temperatures, as set out in DIN 10510, 10511 and 10522. If you, the client,
install equipment for optimising energy consumption, any possible reduction in the quality

Note to customers
Dishwashing machines, bedpan rinsing units and systems are intended for fixed, electrical power
supply installation as well as connection to the locally available equipotential bonding and have
been equipped with a corresponding connection option.
Operators may decide at their own discretion and responsibility to implement personal protection in
locally available services in collaboration with a specialist electrician registered at the correspond-
ing energy supplier using the following:
AC/DC sensitive fault current protection switch with at max. 30mA EN 62423
or
Automatic shutdown of the supply in the event of loss of protective earth conductor conduc-
tivity (EN 60204-1, Section 8.2.8.c)
6.5 Requirements for the fresh water connection
Each appliance carries the DVGW test symbol and does not require an extra safety
valve in the water feed.
Fresh water connection must be made according to EN 1717 or according to local
regulations.
The requirements of the clean water supply in the accompanying GiO module op-
erating and service manual are to be observed for machines equipped with the
GiO module.
CAUTION!
The minimum flow pressure of the clean water supply upstream of the solenoid
valve must be 0.6 bar; if water-softening (AktiveClean) equipment is incorporated
into the machine, it should be 1 bar; and for machines equipped with the GiO mod-
ule it should be 1 bar.
The maximum pressure must not exceed 5 bar.
If the flow pressure is below the minimum, increase the flow pressure with a
booster pump; if the maximum pressure is exceeded, limit it with a pressure re-
ducer. Corresponding instructions are contained in the installation drawing. There-
fore suitable measures must be taken.
Suitable protective measures must be taken to ensure that no iron particles can
enter the appliance via the mains water supply. Similarly, precautions must be
taken to prevent the entry of other metal particles, for example copper turnings.
The warewasher is equipped with a built-in reverse osmosis unit (GiO-module). In
this reverse osmosis unit the fresh water supply is compressed onto membranes
under high pressure. Pure water is pressed through this membrane and is di-
rected toward the boiler. This water is used to fill up the warewasher and is used
for rinsing, ensuring that the items being washed are free of water spots. A portion
of the fresh water is drained along with the rest of the substances in the water
(e.g. salts, minerals, particulate matter) as so-called concentrate. Observe the
specifications in the technical data sheets in order to ensure the maximum possi-
ble service life of the membranes.
CAUTION!
A fine filter is included in the connection set. The filter is filled with a activated car-
bon in order to protect the osmosis unit. The filter cartridge containing the activated
carbon must be renewed every six months.
6.6 Requirements for the waste water connection
Build an odour trap into the waste water connection if this is not already built-in
(further information about this is in the Installation drawing / Technical Sheet).
The drain hose must be connected to the waste water pipe in the building.
A grease trap may be needed, depending on the machine application.
The requirements of the waste water supply in the accompanying GiO module
operating and service manual are to be observed for machines equipped with the
GiO module.

MEIKO recommends brand cleaning products from leading manufacturers.
- cleaning and hygiene products are an excellent choice.
If unsuitable products are used, the life expectancy of the dosing units can be re-
duced considerably. Observe the dosing instructions of the manufacturer.
Detergents and rinse-aids can present a health hazard if they are not correctly used.
Please observe the manufacturers’ instructions on the original packing and on the
safety data sheets.
"Items for rinsing are tribologically influenced in particular by chemicals and in-
creased temperatures during the process, as well as mechanical stresses caused by
handling and transporting."
If a de-scaling agent is used, please strictly observe the manufacturer’s instructions
reg. handling and safety. After having used such an agent, the product must be com-
pletely removed from the machine, as even small residues are sufficient to destroy
plastic parts and packing materials.
Chemical product settings
The correct settings for the quantity of detergent and rinse agent depend on the prod-
uct used. The relevant chemical supplier can install the correct setting.
6.9 Instructions for the disposal of the packaging material
The four-sided wooden frame consists of untreated, raw wood.
Special country-specific import regulations may also stipulate the use of wood which
has been treated against pests.
The plastic sheeting (PE sheeting) may be recycled.
The cardboard packaging material used to protect the edges can also be recycled.
The steel tensioning strap made of strip steel may be recycled with the steel scrap.
The plastic tensioning strap of plastic (PP) can be recycled.

8.2 Preparation for washing and rinsing
The preparatory work described below must be carried out before each opera-
tion.
Open the door.
Place the screen and stand pipe in position.
Close the door.
ATTENTION! Danger of crushing.
Close the door with both hands.
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 time taken is: about 25 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:
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.
Plates should always stand at a slight angle in the basket. The inside faces pointing
upwards.
When using cutlery baskets, ensure that cutlery is always inserted handle down.
Load the cutlery baskets with a mixture of spoons, knives and forks, as identical items
of cutlery can be too close together.
Do not overload the baskets.
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.

10 Care and maintenance
10.1 Care, general
The appliance has been designed to minimise the need for cleaning, care and mainte-
nance.
However, for a reliable, safe and permanent function of the appliance and in the inter-
est of hygiene and cleanliness a correct care and maintenance is necessary.
To facilitate this procedure, a maintenance contract can be concluded with the manu-
facturer or the manufacturer’s agent.
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.
Re-fill the container marked ”detergent“ if necessary.

External container
The container is located next to the appliance.
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
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.
Re-fill the container marked ”rinse-aid“ if necessary.
External container
The container is located next to the appliance.
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.
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!
10.4 Cleaning
After the tank has been drained, proceed as follows:
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.
Food residues sticking to the tank, tank heating element and sieves must be removed
with a brush.
Dismantle the wash arms and rinse them under running water.
Wash nozzles must be cleaned daily.
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 instructions 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 Care of stainless steel surfaces
We recommend cleaning the stainless steel surfaces only when needed with cleaner and
care products suitable for stainless steel.
Lightly soiled parts can be wiped with a (possibly damp) cloth or sponge.
Be sure to wipe dry after cleaning to avoid traces of scale. Use demineralised water if
possible.
Do not use aggressive cleaning or scouring agents.
The care products must not attack the stainless steel, form deposits, or cause discolora-
tion.
Never use cleaning agents that contain hydrochloric acid or bleaches based on chlorine.
Never use cleaning equipment that you have used previously by non-stainless steel to
avoid external corrosion.
Aggressive external influences due to cleaning and care products that evaporate in the vi-
cinity of the dish-washing machine, or caused by direct application, can lead to machine
damage and put the material at risk (e.g., aggressive tile cleaners).
Caution!
Respect the safety rules of the manufacturers on the original packing as well as on the
safety data sheets.
10.6 Filter cartridge with activated carbon
CAUTION!
The filter cartridge must be renewed every six months in order to protect the osmosis
unit. Activated carbon decreases the layering of chlorine and bacteria on the membrane
surface. This increases the functional time of the membrane.
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 persons
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 level
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 during 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 Rinse aid dosing
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 level
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 possibil-
ity 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).
