5 General safety rules
NOTE
The following safety instructions are for your protection as well as the protection of
others and the dishwasher. Compliance with the instructions is therefore absolutely
necessary.
5.1 Operator’s duty of care
This machine has been constructed and designed based on a risk assess-
ment and careful selection of the applicable harmonised standards, as well
as additional technical specifications.
It is therefore state of the art and guaranteed to provide maximum safety. 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 planned for, and also to check that they are correctly implemented.
5.2 Measures to ensure safe system operation
The operator must ensure in particular that ...
•a locally available power disconnection unit is installed. The power disconnec-
tion unit must be easily accessible and in the direct vicinity of the warewashing
machine.
The following requirements must be fulfilled:
– Load-break switch as per IEC 60947-3
– Utilisation category AC23B
– Lockable in OFF position
– Protection class against water IPX5
– The load-break switch must be installed in the direct vicinity of the
machine and must be easily accessible at a height of 0.6 - 1.9m
– Short-circuit breaking capacity >= 10kA
– Load-break switch rated operating current
– >= Machine's total current (type label) + 10%
– Neutral conductor shutdown optional
•the dishwashing machine is used in accordance with the regulations only.
in case of other use or operation, damage or risks may arise for which we ac-
cept no liability (cf. chapter "Intended use").
•in order to preserve the operational and safety guarantees, whenever re-
quired, only original parts supplied by the manufacturer are used. Any poten-
tial claims by the user shall be rendered void if the system was altered using
parts other than original spare parts.
•only appropriately qualified and authorized personnel use, maintain, and re-
pair the installation.
•staff is regularly trained in all questions relating to occupational safety and en-
vironmental protection and, in particular, that staff is familiar with the operating
instructions as well as with the safety instructions they provide.

Operating instructions for rack type dishwashing machine , model Upster K
9726766 Design and construction subject to change without prior notice!
Page 13 of 42
•the dishwashing machine is only operated in a perfect, operationally efficient
condition and, in particular, that the safety systems and switch elements are
checked on a regular basis for their operational efficiency.
•the required personal protective equipment is made available to and used by
maintenance and repair personnel.
•a functional test on all safety systems of the installation is carried out during
every regular maintenance.
•all the safety, warning and operating instructions provided are not removed
and are legible.
•any necessary initial tests to parts supplied by sub-suppliers, such as heat
pumps or other equipment, must be carried out. More detailed information, if
required, can be found in the relevant operating instructions.
•there are no further modifications after assembly, commissioning and hando-
ver of the dishwashing machine to customers/operators (e.g. electrical modifi-
cations or location changes). modifications to the dishwashing machine, and
in particular technical modifications carried out without the manufacturer’s writ-
ten authorization, or any modifications carried out by unauthorized persons,
will lead to the complete loss of any guarantee claims and will invalidate any
liability for the product.
•equipment for optimising energy consumption must not be used to reduce es-
sential operating temperatures, as set out in DIN 10511, 10512 and 10522. If
you, the client, install equipment for optimising energy consumption, any pos-
sible reduction in the quality of the wash and hygiene is your responsibility.
5.3 Basic safety measures
DANGER
Risk of injury due to electric shock, damage to property.
Parts carrying electric current as well as moving or rotating parts can
cause·danger to the user’s life and limb and material damage.
Danger can arise from the improper use of the machine or if it is used for pur-
poses for which it was not intended.
The machine may only be operated by adequately qualified staff who have been
trained by the operating company and who have been trained about the hazard
and safety instructions.
When electrical equipment is in operation, it is inevitable that certain parts carry
a dangerous current.
The entire dishwashing machine must be de-energised before opening dish-
washing machine cover panels or electrical equipment.
SWITCH the locally available MAIN SWITCH TO “OFF“ and install suitable lock-
ing devices to prevent the switch from being switched back on.
Work and troubleshooting on electrical parts of the dishwashing machine must
be performed by specialists only. Observe accident prevention regulations.
The operator must not restart the dishwashing machine until all cover panels
have been put back in place.
•Qualified staff, as defined by the Operating Instructions, are persons:
– over 14 years of age
– who have read and observe the safety instructions as well as the operating
instruction,

7.7 Requirements to the electrical connection
DANGER
Risk of injury due to electric shock!
Work on the electrical machine components may be undertaken by specialist electri-
cians only.
General Electrical Regulations must be observed when connecting the machine to
the power supply.
The electrical cabinet features the corresponding wiring diagram. This wiring dia-
gram forms part of the machine and for this reason, it must not be removed.
There are two type plates indicating the electrical connected loads, one visible from
the outside and one on the inside of the electrical cabinet.
When connecting the power supply line to the machine, observe the general
electrical regulations
For USA/Canada only:
The dishwasher must be/is installed in accordance with local codes, or in the ab-
sence of local codes, installed in accordance with the applicable requirements in the
National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), Part 1, CSA
C22.1, and Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cook-
ing Operations, NFPA 96.

match the nominal machine current in order to provide back up protection
(VDE 0100 for Germany).
The mains supply cable must be provided with fuses in accordance with reg-
ulations and must have a main switch (accessible on site or on the appliance
for operating personnel). If the neutral line (N) is not earthed, you must use a
4-pin master switch. Mains connecting leads must be oil-resistant, shielded
cables no lighter than an H 07 RN-F cable.
The potential equalisation connection must be carried out in accordance with
the requirements of the local electricity supply company and all applicable
local regulations (in Germany VDE 0100 Part 540 must be observed).
Connect the machines to the building's equipotential bonding. The machine-
side connection is located very close to the machine’s central switch cabi-
net/unit sheet on the undercarriage in the form of a screw and is marked ac-
cordingly.

arrangements, access lengths). Media and power connection of the machine
are described in the service instructions.
•The connections must be made by approved professionals.
•All parameters for the media and energy supplies must be maintained at a
constant level during all the operations.
•Fresh water connections must be carried out in accordance with the require-
ments of the local regulations (e.g. Germany DIN 1988).
•The owner/operator must install a shut-off device in each water supply
pipe/hose; the device must be accessible to operating personnel.
•A supply disconnection has been installed depending on the machine version.
Refer to the service instructions for more detailed information.
•Waste water connections must be implemented in accordance with local regu-
lations (for Germany e.g. DIN 1986).
•When using water softening devices, partial desalination or complete desalina-
tion cartridges, a local shut-off device, a local particulate filter, a local non-
return device and a local vacuum breaker must be provided by the own-
er/operator.
•Unless stated to the contrary, a minimum flow pressure of 2.5 bar and a maxi-
mum flow pressure of 5 bar must be guaranteed by the owner/operator.
•It is possible to clean the dirt screens without turning off the
main water supply. The water supply is automatically cut
off when the lower component in which the screen is locat-
ed is unscrewed. This enables the screen to be cleaned
during maintenance.
Information on the water quantities, quality and tempera-
tures needed can be found in the installation plan.
The water quality must also comply with the requirements of the Commercial Dish-
Washing Association. (http://www.vgg-online.de.)
