Product description

4.1 Functional description
The UPster U 400 M2 is a commercial glasswasher with a square rack.
The dishwasher has one wash and one final rinse cycle.
A temperature regulator maintains the set wash temperature of between 58-60 °C. A rotary pump circulates the water from the wash tank into the wash nozzles. The water jets hit the wash ware from different directions. This ensures uniform washing results.
The wash cycle is followed by a fresh water final rinse. The items being washed are rinsed with hot fresh water at 80-83 °C (65 °C for the glass programme) via a separate nozzle system. This heats up the wash ware for the following drying process. At the same time, the final rinse water is used to regenerate the rinse water; this reduces the degree of soiling of the rinse water.

4.5 Detergent and rinse aid
Warning
**** Risk of injury from contact with chemicals

• Observe the safety data sheets and dosing recommendations of the chemical manufacturers.
• Use eye protection.
• Wear protective gloves.
• Do not mix different chemical products.

Caution

• Only use products that are suitable and approved for commercial dishwashers. MEIKO recommends MEIKO ACTIVE detergent and rinse aid. MEIKO ACTIVE products are optimally adapted to MEIKO dishwashing machines.
• Do not mix different cleaning products.

The dishwashing machine is equipped by default with dosing units for dosing liquid detergent/rinse aid. Manual dosing with powder cleaner is not intended. Optionally, the dishwashing machine can be equipped with or prepared for an external dosing system.  In this case, further information can be found on the wiring diagram and in the External dosing document.
4.5.1 Detergent
Detergents are alkaline (pH value should be > 7) and are needed to dissolve soiling from the washware. The standard setting is 2 ml of detergent per litre of tank water. If necessary, the concentration can be adjusted depending on the water quality, washware and degree of soiling. This setting is made during commissioning by an service technician authorised by MEIKO or the chemical supplier. Change dosing quantity, see chapter “Dosing system level” on page 36.
4.5.2 Rinse aid
Rinse aids are acidic (pH value should be between 2 and 7) and accelerate the drying of the washware by reducing the surface tension of the water so that it can run off the
washware quickly. The correct dosage is achieved when the water drips evenly from the washware and depends on the available water quality on-site. This setting is made during commissioning by an service technician authorised by MEIKO or the chemical supplier.
Change dosing quantity, see chapter “Dosing system level” on page 36.
4.5.3 Dosing equipment
The components of the dosing units are subject to high demands and must therefore be regularly maintained and, if necessary, replaced in accordance with the maintenance specification. The service life of the dosing units and other components of the dishwashing machine depends on the use of suitable chemical products.
MEIKO recommends MEIKO ACTIVE detergent and rinse aid. MEIKO ACTIVE products are optimally adapted to the dishwashing machine.
4.5.4 Suction lances
Suction lances with level monitoring for rinse aid (blue) and detergent (grey) Suction lances ensure that the liquid chemical product is sucked in correctly. Suction lances are inserted vertically into the canisters and are optionally equipped with level monitoring. When the canister is running low, a message will appear on the machine display.
4.5.5 Change of products
Caution
When changing the detergent product (even to a product from the same manufacturer), crystallisation may occur, which can lead to failure of the dosing system.

• When changing the detergent product, flush the dosing system with warm water.

Procedure for changing the detergent product:

1. Provide a suitable container with warm water and insert the suction lance.
2. Thoroughly flush the dosing system several times by venting the lines, see page 35.
3. Wipe the suction lance and put it into the canister with the other detergent product.
4. Refill the dosing system by venting the lines.

For dishwashers with an internal reservoir, have the system flushed by a service technician authorised by MEIKO.

• Depending on the dishwasher application, a grease trap may be included,based on the general/location-specific regulations.

6.1.4 Requirements for the fresh water connection
Fresh water connections and their components must be carried out in accordance with local regulations, e.g. EN 1717/DIN 1988-100. The fresh water must be of the same
quality as drinking water in microbiological terms. This also applies to processed water.
The basic model of the dishwashing machine is equipped with a safety device against backflow in accordance with DIN EN 60335-2-58 or with an air gap (type AA in accordance with EN 1717 or EN 61770). In the case of SVGW (Switzerland) and other countries, a type EA safety device (at least) is also required in front of the connection
hose, depending on the machine version.
An on-site stop valve must be built into the fresh water supply for the operating staff. Installation components and materials must be suitable and permitted in accordance with local regulations. A solenoid valve is integrated into the dishwashing machine’s fresh water line.
Pressure range of the fresh water supply flow pressure upstream of the solenoid valve:

• Machines with air gap or pressure booster pump: 60 – 500 kPa (0.6 – 5 bar)
•  Machines with a safety device to prevent backflow: 250 – 500 kPa (2.5 – 5 bar)

Maximum pressure

• Do not exceed maximum pressure of 500 kPa (5 bar).

Measures to ensure correct water pressure:

• If the minimum flow pressure is too low, increase the pressure using a pressure booster pump.
• If the maximum pressure is exceeded, limit the pressure using a pressure regulator.

Other measures:

• Ensure that no foreign iron particles can enter the appliance via the fresh water connection. The same also applies for contamination by other metal particles (e.g. copper shavings). Corresponding instructions are contained in the assembly  plan.
• A dirt trap must be fitted in the fresh water supply to protect the solenoid valve.
• After the dishwashing machine has been unused for longer periods of time, drain the connection line and wash it before placing the machine in operation again.
• When replacing an old machine with a new one, make sure that the existing feed hose is exchanged for the new feed hose supplied with the machine.

• Check supplier parts (e.g. external water processing devices or heating pumps). More detailed information can be found in the relevant operating instructions.
• Ensure that all tools and foreign parts are removed from the machine.
• Make sure that any escaped fluids have been removed.
• Before commissioning, activate all safety systems and door switches (on undercounter machines).
• Check all screw connections sit securely.
• For dishwashing machines with GiO Module, attention must be paid to the “Commissioning certificate for GiO Modules” and the instructions adhered to accordingly.

Operation/use

8.1 Membrane key pad
The dishwasher is equipped with a membrane key pad. It includes 4 operating keys and 3 control lights. A display reports the current temperatures of the wash and rinse water and displays information messages and error codes, if applicable. Control lights with the keys show readiness to operate, the active wash programme, the current wash cycle and, if applicable, necessary and active regeneration.
The meaning of each of the keys and symbols is described below.

Control light lit: wash programme is running
Control light flashing: self-cleaning programme / drain programme is running
| Wash programme keys 1 – 3 with control lights
Control light 1, 2 or 3 lit: dishwasher ready to run / wash programme 1, 2 or 3 selected
Control light 1, 2 or 3 flashing: dishwasher is being made ready for operation
| Current wash temperature
| Current final rinse temperature

8.2 Prepare dishwasher
Warning
**** Risk of injury from contact with chemicals

• Observe the safety data sheets and dosing recommendations of the chemical manufacturers.
• Use eye protection.
• Wear protective gloves.
• Do not mix different chemical products.

System operators must be very familiar with the Operating Instructions of the dishwashing machine. Incorrect operation may result in personal injury or material damage.

1. Ensure the water supply is available.
   

2. Switch on the local mains switch.

3. Check detergent and rinse aid and top up, if required, see chapter “Fill consumables” on page 28.

4. Ensure that the hoses are fed down to the base of the container. Note
   If there is air in the hoses, the automatic dosing will not function correctly. The relevant pipe must be ventilated, see chapter “Ventilating the pipes” on page 35.

5. Open door
   

6. Insert filter, stand pipe and wash systems.
   

7. Close door.

8.2.1 Putting the machine into operation
The dishwasher is closed and does not have a rack inside.
1. Press on/off key.
The dishwasher is filling and heating up. During this time, the control light flashes over the selected wash programme key. The time required for the machine to be ready to operate depends on the temperature of the water supply and the installed boiler or tank heating capacity.
When the machine is ready to operate, the control light above the selected wash programme key is lit permanently.
8.3 Washing
8.3.1 Putting away washware

• All hollow containers must always be loaded upside down. Otherwise the water will not be drained from the wash ware and brilliant drying will not be possible.
  

• Place plates, trays and dishes into the baskets at an angle. The inner surfaces face upwards.
  

• If cutlery holders are used, always insert the cutlery pieces with the handles down.
  

• Mix up the spoons, knives and forks as much as possible in each cutlery basket, since similar cutlery pieces may nest together.

• Do not put too many cutlery pieces into the individual cutlery baskets.
  

• Do not stack crockery items on top of each other in the basket. Direct access to the wash water would be more difficult and the washing times would have to be unnecessarily long. Shorter washing with baskets which are not overfilled is more economical.

8.3.2 Select wash programme
1. Press the desired wash programme key.
The control light of the selected wash programme key is lit.

| Short programme| Lightly soiled washware

| Standard pro- gramme‚| Normally soiled washware

9.3 Daily cleaning

Caution
Material damage due to water ingress
Electrical cables and electronic components can be damaged if they come into contact with water.

• The dishwashing machine, switch cabinets and other electrical components must never be sprayed with a hose or high pressure cleaner.
• Make sure that no water can enter the machine unintentionally.
• If installed at ground level, never flood the surrounding room.

Note
Do not use a foaming detergent for dish-washing by hand for pre-cleaning or cleaning the dishwasher. Foam causes malfunctions and results in poor wash results.
The machine is emptied, see chapter “Shutting down the dishwasher” on page 27.

1. Open door.

2. Remove filter, wash systems below and rinse arm above. All parts to be cleaned are blue or have a blue handle.

3. Remove all food residues sticking to the tank and tank heater using a brush.

4. Rinse wash and rinse arms thoroughly under running water. When doing this, pay particular attention to the nozzles! The platelets in each nozzle must be correctly inserted!

5. Clean filter under running water.

6. Reinstall all parts in reverse sequence.

9.4 Cleaning the stainless steel surfaces

Caution
Material damage due to incorrect cleaning
Cleaning of parts made of stainless steel with unsuitable cleaning agents, care products and cleaning utensils leads to damage, deposits or discolourations on the machine.

• Never use aggressive cleaning or scouring agents.
• Never use cleaning agents that contain hydrochloric acid or bleaches based on chlorine.
• Do not use cleaning utensils previously used to clean non-stainless steel.

Caution
Material damage due to aggressive cleaning products
The use of aggressive cleaning and care products near the machine can cause damage to the machine due to their fumes.

• Make sure that the cleaning and care products cannot have direct contact with the machine.
• Do not use aggressive cleaning agents (e.g. aggressive tile cleaner) to clean the surrounding area.
• Please observe the notes on the product packaging.
• In case of uncertainty, request information from the suppliers of these products.

We recommend that, when required, the stainless steel surfaces are cleaned exclusively using cleaning and care products that are suitable for stainless steel.

• Lightly soiled parts can be cleaned with a soft and possibly damp cloth or sponge. For moistening we recommend only using demineralised water.
• In order to prevent limescale, we recommend wiping the surfaces thoroughly dry after cleaning.

9.5 Descaling

**Warning
Danger of injury from contact with acids**
Descaling agents can cause damage to health if they come into contact with skin or eyes or are swallowed.

• Use eye protection.
• Wear protective gloves.
• Contact a physician immediately if chemicals or water containing chemicals (rinse water) are swallowed.
• Please take note of the manufacturer’s safety instructions.

Caution
Destruction of plastic parts and seals from residues of de-scaling agent
Completely flush the de-scaling agent out of the dishwasher.
Operating the machine using hard water can result in the build up of lime scale deposits in the boiler and the tank interior. If this occurs, it is necessary to de-scale the tank
