Installation – Water Connection

Note – Plumbing connections must be made in such way that will allow the machine to be removed for service and cleaning.

1. Connect the hose supplied with the machine to the inlet at the rear of the machine and the ¾” NPT fitting on the water supply line.
2. Check the water inlet pressure is between 2-4 bar (29-58 psi) (not static). If it is more a PRV (pressure reducing valve) must be installed. If it is less a booster pump will be required
3. Washing performance of the appliance depends on external conditions such as water inlet temperature, pressure, hardness and chemicals used (detergent, rinse aid). To increase the service life and washing performance of the appliance, supply water should be below 9 degree Clark. Otherwise a water softening device should be fitted.
4. Water inlet temperature: 4-50°C.

Caution! Any damage resulting from the use of hard water will not be the manufacturer’s or distributor’s liability, and voids the product warranty.

Use of Detergent and Rinse Aid in the Dishwasher
Your Buffalo Dishwasher has a detergent pump and a rinse-aid pump for use with containers of NON-FOAMING liquid detergent.

1. Insert the hoses of the pumps in the correct chemical container (clear tube for detergent, blue tube for rinse aid).
2. Ensure both of the hoses are at the bottom of the containers of the chemicals.

Note – The chemicals to be used should be suitable for Dishwashers. The detergent shall be the No Foam type, suitable for Glass Washing machines.
Note – We recommend that you use detergent and rinse aid from the same manufacturer. Jantex Dishwash detergent (CF976) & Jantex Dishwasher rinse aid (CF977) are recommended.
Note – When the machine is installed from new or when the containers are allowed to run dry, the full priming takes place after 8-10 washing-rinsing cycles.
