ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

This appliance is intended to be connected to a 15amp electrical supply and must be earthed.

PLUMBING 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.

A DIAGRAM SHOWING THE CORRECT METHOD OF WASTE INSTALLATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE AUSTRALIAN STANDARD AS/NZS 3500.2 IS BELOW

Cutlery and crockery loading

Before cutlery and crockery loading in the machine, coarsely clean them from the leftover food.
It isn’t necessary to rinse the cutlery and crockery under water.
ATTENTION: 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:

• Crockery and cutlery should not be inserted inside one another, covering each other.
• Place the crockery in order that all surfaces can be reached by water; otherwise the objects are not washed.
• Make sure all crockery are in a stable position and that the glasses don’t overturn.
• Place in the rack all the glasses upside-down.
• Place the crockery with deep hollow with upper face downwards, so that water can flow out.
• Make sure the smaller crockery do not fall from the rack.
• Check all the wash arms runs freely and they are not blocked by too tall or too prominent crockery. 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 crockery and plastic parts colors.
Any discoloration does not mean that the plastic is not heat resistant.

Crockery and cutlery not suitable for dishwasher
Not suitable for dishwasher:

• Wooden crockery and cutlery 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, precious vases or decorated glasses.
• Not heat-resistant plastic crockery.
• 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.
• Fragile glasses or crystal items, if often washed, can become opaque.

We recommend to buy exclusively crockery and cutlery suitable for dishwashing.

After several washes, the glass can become opaque.

It is mandatory to repeat the washing cycle if at the end of the cycle the crockery are not well clean or if there are washing residues (glasses with liquid inside).

Detergent use

The machine has a standard detergent dispenser. The machine automatically sucks the detergent.
The detergent shall be the NO FOAM type, suitable for industrial dishwashers.
The use of good quality liquid detergents is recommended such as those supplied by Rhima.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for chemical dosage, related to the local water hardness.
A correct amount of detergent is very important for a successful wash.
Should the detergent lack, the display shows DETERGENT LEVEL (only with optional “Sensor for Chemicals Low Level”).
A buzzer sounds at one minute intervals.
By pressing the key Info E the display goes back to machine ready status. The signal becomes scrolling in the display’s lower part alternatively to the cycle name.
The signal remains until the detergent tank is refilled.

Rinse aid use
The machine has a standard rinse aid dispenser. The machine automatically dispenses the product.
The rinse-aid chemical, shall be suitable for professional glass and dishwashers. It is advisable to rely on specialized retailers in the sector.
Should the detergent lack, the display will show RINSE-AID LEVEL (only with optional “Sensor for Chemicals Low Level”).
A buzzer sounds at one minute intervals.
By pressing the key Info E the display goes back to machine ready status. The signal becomes scrolling in the display’s lower part alternatively to the cycle name.
The signal remains until the detergent tank is refilled.

Drain pump system
The machine is standardly equipped with a drain pump. It regulates the tank water level during wash cycles. At the end of the working day it drains the tank.
To proceed with a draining, both with machine ON and stand-by mode, press the key C until the display shows the message TANK DRAINING.

WARNINGS:

• Do not slam the door when opening and closing.

• Do not put material or objects on the machine.

• The machine has an IP (see serial number label on the machine) protection rating against accidental water splashes and is not protected against pressurized water jets. Pressure-cleaning systems shall, therefore, not be used on this machine.

• Do not dip bare hands into water containing detergent. If this should occur, wash them immediately with plenty of water.
  Check the safety instructions on the detergent container.

• Some important rules must be followed for using this appliance:

1. never touch the appliance with wet hands or feet;
2. never use the appliance when barefooted;
3. do not install the appliance in places exposed to water splashes.

• This machine must be disconnected from the main electrical supply after use at the end of the day and for any service/maintenance operation. Switch off the main switch located on the wall, which shall be installed by a professional installer. Shut the water supply valve(s).
• Do not cover the intake or dissipation grids.
• Do not use water to extinguish fires on electrical parts.

WARNING: INTERNAL CLEANING OF THE MACHINE SHALL BE CARRIED OUT AT LEAST 10 MINUTES AFTER THE POWER SWITCH HAS BEEN TURNED OFF.
WARNING: DO NOT INSERT HANDS AND/OR TOUCH THE PARTS LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WASH TANK AND/OR AT THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE.

ECOLOGICAL ASPECTS

Recommendations for optimal use of energy, water and additives

Use the machine fully loaded when possible: This shall prevent detergent, rinse aid, water and energy consumption waste.
Detergent and rinse-aids: Use detergents and rinse-aid chemicals with high biodegradability, to best respect the environment.
Verify proper dosage in relation to water hardness at least three times a year. Excess product pollutes rivers and seas while an insufficient dose results in unsatisfactory objects washing and/or hygiene.
Boiler and Wash-Tank temperatures: The boiler and tank temperatures are set by the manufacturer in order to obtain the best washing results with detergents on the market. The temperatures can be reset by the installer in relation to your detergent.
Pre-washing: Carefully pre-wash with a moderate amount of water at room temperature to facilitate the removal of animal fats. To remove encrusted materials warm water soaking is recommended.
Note: Wash objects as soon as possible to avoid deposits from drying and compromise effective washing.
For effective washing routine dishwasher cleaning and maintenance is advised.
Disregarding the points listed above and of any the information contained in this manual can cause energy, water and detergent waste with a subsequent increase in running costs and/or performance reduction.

H.A.C.C.P. AND HYGIENE REGULATIONS

• 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.
