6 General safety instructions
6.1 Operator's obligation for care
CAUTION!
The salad and vegetable washing machine has been constructed based on a risk
analysis and after careful selection of the applicable harmonized standards, as well as
additional technical specifications. 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
instructions as well as with the safety information provided in them.
CAUTION!
... the installation is only operated in perfect, operationally efficient condition, all
safeguards 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.

9.4 Operation during washing
At first, put the items in the wash basket. It can be placed without being previously sorted.
Nevertheless observe the following basic points:
Salad etc. to be divided into leafs.
Put only such a quantity of items in the wash basket that they can move freely in the
wash water and do not stack together.
Wash basket with items to be located on the basket carrier.
A suitable quantity of salt can be added if the items are heavily infested by snails and
other insects.
Close basket with lid.
Close tank lid.
Set wash power.
Besides the reliable cleaning the gentle treatment of the items is most important.
Delicate vegetables could be damaged by improper washing and spinning.
Therefore the wash time, wash power and spin time must correspond to the soiling
degree and the resistance of the items to be washed.
The pre-selected programme (combined wash power, wash time and spin time) is
memorized, so you only have to press the start key to repeat the same programme.
Naturally these parameters can be modified during any operation pause.
"Gentle wash programme"
In this programme only one of both circulation pumps is running. Thus guaranteeing the
gentle cleaning of delicate items, f. ex. salad.
"Strong-wash programme"
The running of both circulation pumps allows a strong washing of the items. Tuberous
plant¸ pomaceous fruit and stone-fruit are washed with this programme.
"Delicate wash programme"
This is a pure soak rinse cycle, which means that the circulation pumps are not in
operation. The items are only soaked by the periodical lifting and lowering through the tank
water and rinsed by the rinse nozzles in the upper basket position. This programme is
particularly suitable for lightly soiled items which are very delicate, f. ex. rasperries and
strawberries.
Setting of wash time
Depending on the degree of soiling you can select the 2 or 4 min. short programmes or the
6 or 8 min. intensive programmes.
For lightly soiled items such as salad grown under glass, select short wash times and wash
more heavily soiled items with maximum wash strentgh with intensive programmes.
Setting of spin time
The spin time can only be set if a „gentle wash programme“ is pre-selected. Mainly salads -
but also other leaf vegetables - are spun after the wash cycle.
Salads are spun 1 up to 2 minutes, berries 1 minute. If necessary the spin time can be
increased up to 4 resp. 8 minutes.
CAUTION!
No baskets with e.g. tuber vegetable, apple or pears hurl! Unequally loaded, heavy
baskets could lead to damages at the machine.
If rotary heavy baskets, after opening the cover, are braked by hand, danger of injury
exists.

12 Care and maintenance
12.1 Care, general
The appliance has been designed to minimise the need for cleaning, care and
maintenance.
However, for a reliable, safe and permanent function of the appliance and in the interest
of hygiene and cleanliness a correct care and maintenance is necessary.
To facilitate this procedure, a maintenance contract can be concluded with the
manufacturer 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.
12.2 Cleaning
After the tank has been drained, proceed as follows:
Residues sticking to the tank and sieve must be removed with a brush.
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.
12.2.1 Safety instructions for cleaning
CAUTION!
The machine, switch cabinet and other electrical components must NOT be sprayed with
a hose or a high pressure cleaner.
12.3 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
discoloration.
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
vicinity of the 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.

13 Basic information
Each machine is manufactured acc. to the latest state of the art technology. Operation
is safe.
CAUTION!
Dangers could arise from this model, if it is not correctly operated by unsuitable
operating 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
operating 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.
13.1 General description
The function of this machine makes the unpopular washing of salad and vegetables to a
more pleasant duty around the kitchen. Highest efficiency can be reached by using
several baskets in parallel.
Due to the water flowing out of the wash and rinse nozzles, the current water in the wash
tank as well as the rotating movement and the lifting and lowering of the wash basket the
items are gently washed.
During the wash process the tank water is automatically regenerated via the rinse nozzles.
During the intensive programme an additional water change is executed.
In our factory the washer is set to change ¾ of the tank contents during the 6-minute
programme and the complete contents during the 8-minute programme.
If selected, the wash process is followed by a spinning cycle. With a rotation number of
220 per minute the items are gently spinned without having to put the items in a separate
centrifugal drier.
13.2 Noise level
Work place noise level LpA £ 70 dB
13.3 Data reg. the electrical and hydraulic equipment
See attached technical sheet
13.4 Dimensions, technical data, installation instructions
See attached technical sheet
14 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).

16 Operating errors
Despite being expertly designed, the machine may develop minor faults which are usually
easy to eliminate. This section explains a number of possible problems and how you can
deal with them yourself.
Before carrying out work on the open appliance, it MUST be disconnected from the
power supply. The machine is to be switched off completely with the on-site power
disconnection device here. Should any of the operational faults described arise
repeatedly, their cause must be established in each case.
Faults not described here can in general only be eliminated by a technician or
electrician. Please contact the agency responsible or the authorised dealer.

16.1 Tips for self-help in the case of faults
Fault:
Remedy
Pump does not run,
machine does not wash
The fuse failed.
The pump has a thermal overload which stops the
motor on excess temperature. The motor will restart
automatically after a preset cooling period.
Check the fuse and replace if necessary.
Filling or rinsing does not
stop automatically
Solenoid valve sticking on scale or other impurities.
Check that the valve is clean. If valve is worn or
excessively scaled, it should be replaced as a
complete unit.
The air trap opening (pressure vessel in the wash
tank) is blocked and must be cleaned.
Lifting and lowering
device does not function
The dirt trap of the solenoid valve is blocked and must
be cleaned.
The local water pressure is too low.
17 Maintenance
Regular maintenance is a prerequisite for the long-term reliable and safe operation of a
warewashing machine. Maintenance which is neglected or improperly carried out
increases the residual risk of unforeseen damage to property and persons, for which no
liability will then be assumed.
Maintenance work should only be conducted if the machine has been switched off
completely via the on-site power disconnection device.
Existing safety systems may not be removed!
CAUTION!
A functional test on all safety systems of the machine / installation is carried out during
every regular maintenance
We recommend that you take out a maintenance contract with our manufacturer’s agent
in order to ensure a long service life.
