4.1 Before use

4.1.1 Preparing the operation

• Make sure that the machine has been cleaned and that the water supply valves are

in the OPEN position.

• Put the overflow pipe and the drain plugs in place. Make sure that they are properly

fastened to the lift shaft (11).

• Check the condition of rubber gaskets (10).

• Put the strainers and curtains in place.

• Check the amount of detergent and rinse aid.

• Close the doors.

4.2 Operation

4.2.1 Start of dishwashing

Turn the machine’s control switch (11) to position 1 and wait until the tanks fill and the

water heates up. The filling time is approx. 6-13 minutes. In dishwashers connected to

cold water supply, the filling time is 30 minutes at the maximum. When the temperatures

are clearly visible on the displays (1, 3, 14) the machine is ready for dishwashing.

Push the button AUT. The machine starts and runs for a moment for mixing the detergent.

4.2.2 Dishwashing

Remove loose food residues and rack the dishes.Rack the trays longitudinally to machine.

If GN containers are washed in the machine, they must be placed in a special rack and fed

into the machine longitudinally.

Choose the wash method AUT or MAN.

• AUT = Wash with an automatic stop. The dishwasher starts when a rack is fed in.

The rack remains within the wash zone until the next rack pushes it on. The dish-

washer stops automatically if no new rack is fed in.

• MAN = Wash without an automatic stop. The dishwasher starts immediately. The

MAN position is preferable for heavily soiled wash items. If only one rack is fed,

4.12.2000 Rev. 2.2

Operation instructions

15

it stops and is processed in the wash zone for a duration that can be decided by the

operator. The rack will be pushed out of the dishwasher when a new rack is fed in.

We recommend to feed in racks at the following intervals:

approx. 50cm

Increase the distance if the wash items are heavily soiled.

4.3 After use

4.3.1 Cleaning

The temperature of the rinsing water is approx. 85ºC. Do not open the machine doors until

the washing process is completed.

Cleaning: The temperature of wash water in the power wash tank is approx. 60ºC and it

is mixed with detergent. Be careful when emptying and cleaning the tanks. Use protective

gloves.

Use of a pressure washer for cleaning the machine is forbidden.

Do not use steel wool for cleaning the machine. Use of steel wool may cause rust spots on

the machine surfaces. Do not either use detergents that, if not thorougly rinsed from sur-

faces, form foam during the wash process, thus impairing the wash result. Consult your

detergent supplier for the correct type of detergent.

It is not allowed to clean the outside of the machine with a jet of water.

For cleaning the outer surfaces, wiping with a damp cloth will often suffice.

When washing floors, water can splash up from the floor, thus damaging electric compo-

nents, which are not designed to withstand rinsing with water. Special protective covers

should be used to protect the machine from water splashes, if the floor is washed with a

pressure washer.

Daily cleaning

• Turn the control switch (11) to position 0.

• Empty the tanks by pulling the tank drain level (6).

• Clean the tank strainers (12), tanks, curtains and wash nozzles. Clean the final

rinse filter (8). Dry the rubber lists of the doors. The rubber lists are located on the

rear side of the door, in the door’s upper section. Leave the doors open.

• Clean the outer surfaces of the machine with a damp cloth. Do not use steel wool

for cleaning. Use of steel wool may cause rust spots on the machine surfaces.

Basic cleaning of a returning unit equipped with a conveyor

• Stop the conveyor with the stop switch

• Spray the system with non-foaming general cleaning liquid or desinfecting deter-

gent. Your detergent supplier can recommend you the best product for this pur-

pose. The conveyor materials stand up to all normal detergents that are used in

kitchen.

• Let the detergent act for 10-15 minutes or a length of time recommended by the

detergent supplier.

• Clean more dirty places e.g. with a brush.

• Rinse the system thoroughly, don’t rinse electric parts like control boxes and elec-

tric motors.

Follow the dosing and safety instructions given by the detergent supplier.

Weekly cleaning and maintenance when needed

• Wash arms (2): Detach the wash arms and clean them inside. Clean the wash arm

nozzles.

• Rinse nozzles (3): Clean.

• Final pump rinse filter (7): Clean the filter 2-3 times a week or more often depend-

ing on the use of the machine. The filter is located in the final rinse zone, behind

the door in the lower section of the machine. The final rinse tank must be empty

when cleaning the filter. Detach the filter cover by turning it counterclockwise.

Clean the filter and put it carefully back into place.

• Doors (5): The doors can be detached for cleaning. Lift the door to the upper posi-

tion and press the door catch (4) backwards. The door can be completeley lifted

5.3 Electrical connection

For details, see the installation drawing and the connection drawing in chapter “Technical

Specifications”.

There is an electrical wiring diagram inside the electric box door (3). Keep this in the elec-

tric box also after installation.

The main switch (2) has been constructed inside the machine. Connect the cable to the ter-

minal board (1). NOTE. In special cases the electrical feed can be drawn from the floor.

In this case, the cable is drawn under the cover plates (13).

Check the correct rotating direction of the pumps in use when the tanks have filled with

water. The rotating direction has to be the same as indicated by the arrow on the pump. If

the rotation direction is wrong, stop the machine and change two phases of the cable in

the terminal board.

5.4 Water connections

The pipe connection pieces are packed inside the machine.

Adjust the machine horizontally with the feet. Connect the cold and warm water feed (4,

5). There are filters inside the pipe connections.The water connections have to be

equipped with stop cocks. In machines where the water connectios are taken from the

floor, warm and cold water connection points are (8, 9).

5.5 Drain connection

The drain connection (10) can be led either to the right or to the left. Connect the drain

pipe to (A) and draw it to the floor gulley so that the pipe ends above the water level. Re-

move the hole cover from the appropriate side of the cover plate (B) and take the drain

pipe trough it.

5.6 Steam connection

If the machine is steam heated, connect pipes for steam and condensation water to the con-

nection point (11).

5.7 Measures after installation

When the tanks have been filled with water, check once more that the machine is standing

horizontally. Close the doors and check that the doors are in straight line.If necessary, ad-

just with the feet.

5.8 First start, test run

Place the overflow pipe, the drain plugs, the strainer plates and the curtains. Close the

doors.

Make sure that the automatic fuse FU/M in the electric box is on. Turn the control switch

to position ’1’, the tank filling starts.

NOTE! To avoid the burning of boiler heating elements, there is so called filling memory

in the machine which allows you to check if the boilers of the machine are filled or empty.

When the machine is delivered from the factory, the boilers are emptied and the filling

memory is set to zero. When the control switch of the machine is turned to position ’1’,

the tanks and the boilers fill with water. The boilers are filled via the solenoid valve Y02.

When the valve Y02 is open, a red light on the card is lit. If the relay light is not on, the

boilers do not fill and the heating elements may burn. IMMEDIATELY SWITCH OFF

THE MACHINE and set the filling memory to zero. See chapter “Adjusting reference

values” to set the filling memory to zero.

The filling time in the warm water connected machine is appr. 6-13 minutes. The filling

time in the cold water connected machine is 30 minutes at the maximum.

Test the machine with racks, check the temperatures of the tanks and the final rinse. Check

that the machine does not leak from water and detergent connections.
