ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The Australian installation shall be in accordance with The Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA).
This appliance should be connected to a hot water supply (Max 65°C ) for in accordance
with Australian Standard AS/NZS 3500.1. for optimum performance.
The water supply pressure should be a minimum 200 kPa at all times and flow rate should
be at least 10 litres per minute. A static pressure higher than 600 kPa (73.5 psi) requires a
pressure reducing valve upstream of the supply line. If water pressure is below 150 kPa,
the use of a rinse booster pump is recommended.
This appliance is designed to drain to a tundish. Waste connection to a spigot is not
recommended and may cause draining issues.
The drainpipe should withstand 70°C (158°F) in continuous duty conditions.
The grey water drain hose must have a fixed watertight seal above the tundish in
accordance with the Australian Standard AS/NZS 3500.2.

Objects loading
Before objects loading in the machine, coarsely clean them from the leftover food.
It isn't necessary to rinse the objects under water.
WARNING: Do not wash articles polluted with petrol, paint, chips of steel or iron, ash, sand, wax,
lubricant grease. These substances damage the machine. Do not wash fragile objects or material not
resistant to the washing process.
Note the following recommendations:
• Objects should not be inserted inside one another, covering each other.
• Place the objects in order to all surfaces can be reached by water; otherwise the objects are not
washed.
• Make sure all the objects are in a stable position and that the hollow containers don't overturn
(baskets, pots, pans, bowls, etc.) .
• Place in the rack all the hollow containers such as baskets, pots, pans, bowls, etc. upside-down.
• Place the objects with deep hollow with upper face downwards, so that water can flow out.
• Make sure the smaller objects do not fall from the rack.
• Check all the wash arms runs freely and they are not blocked by too tall or too prominent objects.
Eventually, run a manual rotation of the arms to check it.
Some foods, such as carrots, tomatoes, and others, may contain some natural dyes substances, that
in large amounts, can alter the objects and plastic parts colors.
Any discoloration does not mean that the plastic is not heat resistant.
Objects not suitable for dishwasher
Not suitable for dishwasher:
• Wooden objects or with wooden parts; water at high temperature causes deformation to wood.Also the adhesives used are
not suitable for treatment in the dishwasher; a consequence could be the handles detachment
• Crafts or precious vases
• Not heat-resistant plastic objects.
• Copper, brass, pewter or aluminum objects: they may become discolored or opaque.
• The decorations on glass, after a certain number of washes, can lose gloss.
We recommend to buy exclusively objects suitable for dishwashing.
It is mandatory to repeat the washing cycle if at the end of the cycle the objects are not well clean or if there are
washing residues (baskets, pots, pans, bowls, etc. with liquid inside).

Use of detergent
The machine can be equipped with the detergent dispenser. If provided, the machine will automatically take the needed
detergent amount
The detergent shall be the NO FOAM type, suitable for industrial dishwashers.
The detergent must be introduced in the tank. The use of good quality liquid detergents is recommended. By request the
dishwasher can be equipped with an electric detergent dispenser (always recommended).
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for chemical dosage, related to the local water hardness. 1cm. of the product
drawn into the tube is equal to about 0.15 g. A correct amount of detergent is very important for a successful wash.
Should the detergent lack, the display will show DETERGENT LEVEL (only with optional "Sensor for Chemicals Low Level").

running water (see Pict. 7).
• Remove the heat exchanger filter (if installed) and clean it under running water (see Pict. 8).
If the drain hose is elevated above the drain point of the machine the machine will not drain.

• Reassemble the parts and reposition the wash pipes. Take extreme care to re-assemble the nozzles in the right position
(open and / or closed nozzles) and that the arms are installed with the right axial angle.
• Clean the tub thoroughly using specific products.
• At the end of the day, it is advisable to leave the dishwasher door open.
• Automatic cycle of machine self-cleaning/rinsing: recommended at each day end.With the machine on STAND-BY
mode and, when the tank is empty, press the Akey; an automatic cycle of 60 seconds will start, after this the machine will be
in STAND-BY mode.
• Turn off the water tap.
• Turned off the machine by switching the main power switch OFF.
Special Maintenance
Once or twice a year have a qualified technician inspect the machine:
1 To clean the electrovalve filter.
2 To remove residual deposits.
3 To check the watertight of the seals for water loading and unloading connections.
4 Check the perfect state and/or wear of the components.
5 The operation of the dispensers.
6 Check the efficiency of the door safety switch.
7 A qualified electrician, should check all electric connections inside the machine, at least once a year.
Every 3-4 years of machine use, double-check the tightening and the efficiency of all electrical contacts, with special
attention to the contacts of starters and relays.
Increase controls frequency if the machine is operating in heavy or intensive conditions.

Compliance with hygiene regulations and H.A.C.C.P.
• When starting the machine ON, no wash-cycle will be starting until the set boiler and wash-tank temperatures are reached.
During operation, the machine will not start the rinse cycle till the set boiler temperature is reached.
• Scrape food from the dishes carefully in order not to clog the filters, nozzles and pipes.
• Unload the wash tub and clean the filters at least twice a day.
• Check if the detergent and rinse-aid dosage are correct (as recommended by the manufacturer). In the morning, before
starting the machine, check that the quantity of chemicals in the canisters is enough for daily supply.
• Always clean the support floor of the dishes.
• Extract the rack with clean hands or gloves to avoid finger marks.
• Do not dry or polish the dishes with non-sterilized cloths, brushes, or dusters.

ECOLOGICAL ASPECTS
Recommendations for optimum use of energy, water and additives
• If possible, use the machine at full load: This will avoid wasting detergent, rinse aid, water and energy.
• Detergents and rinse aids: Use detergents and rinse aids having the highest biodegradability so that the environment is
better respected. Have the correct dosage according to the water hardness checked at least once a year. An excess of
product pollutes rivers and seas, whereas an insufficient amount compromises dish washing and/or hygiene.
• Tank and boiler temperatures: The temperatures of the tank and boiler are set by the manufacturer so as to get the best
washing results with the majority of detergents on the market. These can be reset by the installer according to the detergent
used..
• Cleaning off: Carefully clean off the kitchenware using water at ambient temperature with moderation so as to make removal
of animal fats easier. To remove encrusted matter, soaking in hot water is recommended.
Notes: Wash the objects as soon as possible in order to prevent the deposits from drying and jeopardizing the effectiveness of
the washing.
To get an efficient wash, it is advisable to regularly clean and maintain the dishwasher (see chapter MAINTENANCE).
Non-compliance with the above recommendations or with any and all information within the manual could result in
a waste of energy, water, and detergent, further causing an increase in user costs and/or a reduction in
performance.
