1. Intended purpose
The Winterhalter Gastronom RoMatik 150 is designed for softening cold water (max. 25°C) in
preparation for use in commercial dishwashers.
The RoMatik 150 may only be connected to a dishwasher.
The feed water must conform to the specifications of the Ordinance on Drinking Water (see Page 6).
The appliance may only be used for this purpose and in accordance with the operating instructions provided.
Any change in the use or design of the RoMatik 150 without our written consent shall exempt us from all
guarantee and product liability obligations.

2. Installation and initial start-up
The RoMatik 150 must be installed and connected to the on-site supply and waste pipes by a trained fitter in
accordance with the ”Installation Instructions for Winterhalter Gastronom RoMatik 150”.
The initial start-up procedure and briefing of the customer must be carried out according to the ”Start-up
Instructions for Winterhalter Gastronom RoMatik 150”.
For this purpose, contact the Winterhalter factory representative responsible for your site once the appliance
has been correctly connected up.
The RoMatik 150 is not ready for operation until all the necessary work has been completed.
3. Safety instructions for the operator
The following instructions must be observed in the interest of safe operation:
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Children should being supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance
Only operate the appliance as described in
these operating instructions.
Only use this appliance after having read and
understood the operating instructions and
been personally briefed on its workings and
operation.
The operating instructions are an integral part
of the appliance! In the event of a
resale of the RoMatik 150, be sure to pass on
the operating instructions to the new
owner/operator.
Risk of injury: Do not open any coverings or
machine parts for which the use of a tool is
required.
Electric shock hazard: Do not interfere with
the electrical equipment of the appliance
yourself under any circumstances: always
leave this to a qualified electrician.
The appliance may only be
connected to a cold water supply
(max. 25°C).
The appliance can only function properly if it is
permanently connected to the power and water
supply. If not, unpleasant odours may occur in
the water due to microbiological processes
and the appliance may be
damaged.
If the RoMatik 150 is to be taken out of
operation for more than 2 weeks
(disconnected from power and water sup-
ply), the membrane has to be moistened by
Winterhalter after-sales service.
Any faults which are not due to the on-site
water or power supply lines must be reported
to the Winterhalter after-sales service.
If a leak occurs in any part of the appliance,
shut off the water supply immediately and re-
move the mains plug in order to de-energise
the appliance.
Check all water connections for leaks once a
month. Leakages outside the appliance are not
detected by its safety system.
The appliance must not be stored in rooms
at temperatures below 5° C.
The appliance is not splash-proof. Do not
clean the outside with a wet cloth or with a
high-pressure or steam-jet cleaning device. Do
not use detergents. Only wipe the outside of
the appliance with a damp cloth. If the appli-
ance cannot be protected against splash water
for structural reasons, an additional substruc-
ture should be provided.
Take care to avoid crushing hoses or cables
when moving or cleaning the appliance.
If the mains lead has been damaged in some
way, it must be replaced by a qualified person
to avoid damage or injury.
The plug should be easily accessible after in-
stallation.

4. Indicating elements
The indicating elements are located at the front of the appliance.
They enable the operator to monitor the water quality (”Purity level I, II and III”) during the water
purification process and also serve to display error messages.
If an error message occurs, contact the Winterhalter after-sales service and quote the displayed error
message.
Your appliance is working normally if the indicator for purity level II or III lights up no later than 2 minutes
after the commencement of water purification. If the indicator for purity level I lights up, this means that the
water quality has deteriorated.
The system then switches automatically to fault status (see error messages) and stops the purification
process.
5. Operating the appliance
Once your RoMatik 150 has been installed and calibrated by the Winterhalter service technician, it is ready
to be put into operation.
The RoMatik 150 is equipped with an electronic control system in order to simplify operation. During
normal operation, there are only a few points to be observed:
Observe indicating elements for the purity level in order to detect any deterioration in the water quality
at an early stage. This will also affect the washing results of your dishwasher.
Observe error messages in order to be able to notify the Winterhalter after-sales service in time and
so avoid damage to the appliance.
After producing purified water continuously for 15 minutes, the appliance automatically performs a
flushing cycle. This is not an error.
6. Caring for the appliance
Only use a damp cloth and no other cleaning agents on the RoMatik 150. Do not rinse the appliance
with water.
Check all water connections regularly. Condensation beneath the filter behind the front cover is not a
sign of leakage, and can be simply wiped dry. If the ”stop” indicator lights up due to an accumulation of
condensation, remove the mains plug after wiping and wait for 2 minutes before plugging it in again.
Check the indicating elements regularly for error messages.

7. Error messages
To protect both the user and the appliance itself from incorrect use, the RoMatik 150 is equipped
with various built-in safety devices for interrupting the operation of the appliance.
The following table explains the possible causes of common warnings. If the cause of the error cannot be
eliminated, the Winterhalter after-sales service should be contacted.
The symbols used have the following meanings:
Indicator extinguished
Indicator illuminated
Indicator flashing
Display Cause of error Remedy
Indicates internal leakages or con-
densation on the base plate
Splash water from outside
If all connections are wa-
tertight, the Winterhalter
after-sales service should
be notified
Water supply is shut off or interrupted Remove mains plug, open
water shut-off valves, wait
for 2 minutes, then
re-insert plug mains plug
Important: the device
must be connected
permanently to the power
and water supplies
Contaminated strainer in dirt trap of
shut-off valve or solenoid valve of
water inlet
Close shut-off valve, clean
strainer and re-open
shut-off valve.
If the error message
persists, the strainer in the
solenoid valve may be
blocked.
In this case, notify the
Winterhalter after-sales
service
Filter I is clogged Notify Winterhalter after-
sales service
or
The water pressure is too low on a
permanent basis. The RoMatik was

Check parts that could
influence the water pres-
sure (water line, dirt
screen).
Have a membrane-type
pressure vessel installed.

1The conductivity of the clean water depends on the conductivity and the temperature of the raw water.
If raw water conductivity of greater than 1500 µs/cm exists, conductivity of the clean water of 80 µs/cm can
only be achieved when the raw water temperature is lower by a corresponding amount.
