4.3 Start up and operation of the cutlery polishing machine
CAUTION!
Never install or operate the machine with a damaged power cord.
By suspicion of damage, for example an electrical fault smell, disconnect the machine from the power circuit
immediately and contact the Dörr-service personal.
Make sure the power cable is never placed near a hot surface.
Make sure the power cable is never pinched or brushed along a sharp edge or surface.
Never expose the machine to gushes or jets of water.
1. Remove the transportation safety device.(see chapter 3.5).
2. Plug the power plug into a regulated power outlet (220/230V).
3. Fill the complete contents of the original Dörr polishing granulate Type SG 3000L into the polishing bin of the
machine.
4. Place the cutlery basket directly underneath the ejection opening of the machine
5. Turn on the machine by switching to “I” on the rockerswitch..
The heating process will start automatically.
6. The readiness for operation is indicated after 30 min by the green LED. The wet cutlery can now be inserted
into the feed chute.
7. After use, let the machine run for about 20 minutes so the wet granulate can dry.
Depending on the amount of operating hours, replace granulate within 4-8 weeks (approx. 200 Hours). (See
chapter 5.2 Replacing the granulate)
The best polishing results can be achieved by inserting wet cutlery either straight from the dishwasher or a
water bath.
Already dried water spots (lime residue) cannot be removed by the cutlery polisher.
Insert one hand full of cutlery (approx. 10 pieces) into the feed chute every 10 seconds to get the most
capacity out of the cutlery polisher.
4.4 Further safety references
CAUTION!
Crushing can occur if the top cover falls down
Always open the top cover till the limit stop till the mounted gasprop is fully extended
Wrong way
Right way
CAUTION!
Fingers can be pinched between the ejection opening and the frame
Never stick fingers in between the ejection opening or feed chute and the frame because the
machine vibrates during operation which causes the bin to sway back and forth

6. Troubleshooting
Malfunction /
Problem
Possible causes
Solution
Granulate sticks to
cutlery
1.
2.
Cutlery is still
dirty.
Dishwasher is
not operating
correctly. Or too
much detergent
is being used.
1.
2.
Wash the cutlery again thouroughly and insert into
the machine again.
If granulate pieces no longer stick to the
cutlery then the problem was the dishwashing
results.
There may have been too much cutlery in the
basket.
Wash the cutlery by hand, rinse thouroughly, then
insert it into the cutlery polisher again. If the
polishing results are good then there was too much
dishwashing detergent in the dishwasher.
Contact your dishwasher service technician to
reduce the dishwashing detergent or rinsing agent
dose.
Granulate falls out of
machine
1.
2.
3.
Granulate is or
was too wet.
There is too
much granulate
in the machine.
It is possible that
spoons transport
some granulate
out of the
machine.
1a
.
1b
.
1c
.
2.
3.
If the granulate is or was too wet, the volume of
each granulate grain increases; it comes out
through the holes in the screen and falls out of the
machine. The granulate can become too wet when
it is not hot enough and the water therefore does
not evaporate. Observe the specified heat-up
period. Let the cutlery drip dry to prevent too much
water getting into the machine.
The inserted cutlery was too wet. Let the water drip
off the cutlery to prevent it from dripping into the
machine.
The machine may have been turned off directly
after a polishing procedure. After use, allow the
machine to run for 30 minutes so the granulate can
dry.
› Replace the granulate and consider the heating
process and the drying procedure.
Remove some granulate
The axial fan may not be working properly. Contact
an authorized service technician. The form of the
spoon makes it impossible to eliminate that
granulate falls out of the machine.

Malfunction /
Problem
Possible causes
Solution
Granulate dust
particles on cutlery
1.
2.
New granulate.
Dishwash
detergent or
rinsing agent in
the dishwasher.
1.
2.
Fresh granulate can cause more dust deposits at
first. When the granulate has been heated up as
required, dump 4-5 shot glasses of water into the
feed chute of the machine.
The cutlery is smeary, causing granulate dust to
stick on it. Wash the cutlery by hand, rinse
thouroughly, then insert it into the cutlery polisher
again. If the polishing results are good then there
was too much dishwashing detergent in the
dishwasher.
Contact your dishwasher service technician to
reduce the dishwashing detergent or rinsing agent
dose.
Cutlery is not
transported out of the
machine
1.
2.
Insufficient
quantity of
granulate in
machine.
Cutlery jam may
have occurred.
1.
2.
If there is not enough granulate in the machine the
cutlery cannot be transported correctly.
Replace the granulate with our original Dörr
polishing granulate.The amount needed is exactly
one filling.
Switch off the machine, open the top cover and if
necessary, also the cover sheet and remove the
cutlery. If this happens often, the granulate may be
swelled up. (See troubleshooting section
„Granulate falls out of the machine“)

3.
Always insert the cutlery dripping wet.
Turn off the machine and check the granulate
temperature by hand. It must be noticeably warm.
If not the heating element does not work properly.
Contact an authorized service technician.
The granulate should be replaced every 4 to 8
weeks depending on the daily operation hours.

2.
Too much cutlery
has been placed

The granules
have swollen,
caused from
absorbing too
much moisture.
1.
2.
Begin feeding the machine with 30-40 cutlery
pieces. Afterwards only place a hand full of
cutlery inside the machine after the previous fed
cutlery has vanished underneath the granules.
In case the granules have absorbed too much
moisture, it will swell causing each corn to
expand. The filling volume will expand by
approximately 20-30%. This means the openings
for the cutlery pieces become smaller. To avoid
this happening we strongly recommend
performing the heating up and final drying
process. Please change the granules immediately
if this is the case. (See page 9, chapter 5.2)
The cutlery is
abnormally
intensively scratched.
1.
The cutlery
pieces fall too
deep from the
ejection chute.
1.
Please immediately make sure the cutlery basket,
in which the cutlery pieces fall into, is placed
directly underneath the ejection chute.
