2=Drain filter
3=Emergency stop
Before the product is taken into service, make sure that it is clean. If not, clean it. Make sure that the drain fi lter (2) is in position.

Using the machine

• The motor-powered turn track is controlled from the dishwasher and is in operation when the dishwasher is feeding baskets through the machine.
• When a basket of clean items leaves the machine, it is transported by the turn track to the connected roller table.
• Once the roller table is full of baskets, the fi rst basket will activate the roller table’s limit switch. The dishwasher and the turn track’s conveyor belt (1) stop.
• Remove the baskets from the roller table. The dishwasher and turn track start automatically.
• A motor-powered turn track can also be connected to the dishwasher’s infeed opening and used for transporting baskets of dirty items into the machine.
• The machine may not be used for storage of garbage or other objects

Emergency stop

• If the conveyor is stopped using the emergency stop (3), the dishwasher also stops.
• If an emergency stop button is pressed during operation, the reason for the emergency stop must be rectified.
• Reset the emergency stop by turning it in the direction of the arrows.
• Restart the machine and conveyor using the feed button on the dishwasher’s control panel

After use – cleaning

• HACCP is a preventive inspection system which ensures that hygiene requirements are met during the washing process and cleaning of the equipment.

• As a result of its design, the turn track meets strict hygiene requirements.

• Regular, thorough cleaning is also important from a hygiene perspective.

• Equipment that is properly cleaned reduces the risk of dirt accumulating, increases the service life of the equipment and reduces the risk of urgent interruptions to operation.

• Before cleaning begins, the dishwasher must be switched off.

  • Remove the drain filter (2) and clean it.
  • Clean the inside of the turn track.
  • Refit the filter.
  • Wipe the outside of the turn track with a soft, damp cloth.

• Incorrect cleaning methods
  NOTE: An incorrect cleaning method may damage the equipment. The following points must be observed:

  • Do NOT use steel wool as it will corrode the machine.
  • If detergent is used, it must not contain abrasives. Detergents containing abrasives will damage the stainless steel panels.
  • Pressure washers can damage the machine and must NOT be used for cleaning. Never use a pressure washer to clean the fl oor within 1 metre of the machine. The supplier cannot be held liable for any faults caused by the use of pressure washers on the machine and any such use may invalidate the warranty. There is a risk of splashing even if the floor is hosed down.

• Operating problems
  When you contact service personnel, you will need to provide the following information:

  • The equipment’s type description
  • Machine serial number and installation date
  • A brief description of the problem
  • What happened to cause the problem

• Technical specifications

  • We reserve the right to change technical data.
