Electrical specifications of the installation.

Voltage Configuration of the machine
The voltage configuration of the machine is stipulated on the nameplate (400V 3N~50Hz/60Hz). This configuration can be changed to 230V 1N, see fig6 and fig8. Authorised personnel only to change this configuration.

Hydraulic connection
The new hoses supplied with the appliance should be used (do not reuse old hoses). Before connecting the machine to the water supply, the water quality should be tested. Recommended water quality:

Water Temp (T):| Max. 60°C| Total water hardness:| 5-10°fH (French degrees)
---|---|---|---
pH:| 6.5 – 7.5| | 7 – 14 ⁰eH (English degrees)
Impurities:| Ø < 0.08 mm| | 9 – 18 ⁰dH (German degrees)
Chlorides:| max. 150 mg/l| Conductivity:| 400 – 1,000 μS/cm
Cl:| 0.2 – 0.5 mg/l| |

If the water hardness is more than 10 ⁰fH (French degrees), a water softener must be installed. In addition to water quality, the pressure of the mains water supply must be considered. This is important to ensure the machine operates correctly.

Required water pressure:

Dynamic Pressure

| MIN.| MAX.
---|---|---
bar| kPa| Kg/cm2| psi| bar| kPa| Kg/cm2| psi
2| 200| 2.03| 29| 3.5| 350| 3.56| 50.76

Drainage connection
5 For Australia, watermark certified inlet hose and backflow prevention device. Must be installed in accordance with AS/NZS3500.1 (water service supply) including installation of the supplied backflow prevention device The water draining from the machine must flow freely and therefore the drainage pipe should be lower than the drainage outlet Fig. 4. If the drainage pipe is not lower, a drainage pump will be required. This must not be mounted at a height of more than 800 mm Fig. 5. In this case, the pump may be requested at the time of purchase or subsequently. Drain pipes of 31mm in diameter must be installed in accordance with AS/ NZ3500.2 (drainage) by means of coupled connection to a DN50 or larger pipe

Mechanical / Electric (BTmodels) rinse aid dispenser
Operation: The mechanical dispenser absorbs the rinse aid when it detects a loss in pressure during rinsing. That is, when the filling solenoid valve closes, a vacuum is created that makes the rinse aid dispenser absorb the fluid to which it is connected. The electric pump on BT models rinse-aid into the break-tank. Adjustment: The dispenser should be adjusted when the machine is installed to ensure that the wash is optimised from the start. The setting should be adjusted according to the type of rinse aid and the water hardness.

Detergent dispenser
This ensures that the correct measure of detergent is supplied to the machine. Installation: the detergent dispenser input must be in the tub of the machine, below the maximum water level. Please see the electrical circuit diagram for details of the electrical connection The tub has an opening for the installation of the dispenser. Operation: the detergent dispenser is activated when the machine is taking water, whether it is in rinse cycle or whether it is filling. Settings: the measure of detergent used should be adjusted when the component is installed to ensure that the wash is optimised from the start. The manufacturer recommends that the detergent and the dispenser setting are defined by a technician specialised in the use of chemical products in order to ensure a more efficient wash.

Pressure pump
If the mains water pressure is less than 2 bar (200 kPa), you have the option of installing a pressure pump. If the pressure is less than 2 bar (200kPa), the machine may operate incorrectly. The electrical connections for the pressure pump are shown in the electric circuit diagram. The water connection to the pressure pump is shown in Fig. 3.
If the mains water pressure is less than 2 bar (200 kPa), please contact your supplier or the manufacturer to request the PRESSURE PUMP KIT.

USE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE STARTING THE APPLIANCE, PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY. THE APPLIANCE IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR PROFESSIONAL USE, AND SHOULD ONLY BE USED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

Operation
The steps required to optimise the operation of your dishwasher are shown below, with all the available options.

2. Machine ready pilot temperature satisfied
3. Short cycle button (55 s)/ Drainage button / Machine working pilot
4. Medium cycle button (750 s) / Machine working pilot
5. Long cycle button (120 s) / Constant wash button / Machine working pilot

Switching on the machine
Before switching on the machine, check the following:

• The mains switch must be on.
• The water stop cock must be open.
• There must be water in the mains network.
• The corresponding filters must be in place.
• The overflow should be mounted in place.
• The chemical tubes are inserted fully into liquid in the correct chemical bottle

Filling and heating
When the machine is switched on, it will start to fill. First the rinse boiler is filled and then the wash tub. The filling process may last a few minutes. Once the wash tub is full, the boiler starts to heat up and when it is hot, the tub is heated. Although it is possible to start the wash process, this is not recommended as the water inside the machine is not yet at the ideal temperature. When the machine has reached the ideal temperature for washing the dishes properly, the machine ready light comes on. The temperature in the boiler should be between 82-90 ºC and in the tank between 57-62 ºC The manufacturer recommends that the water in the glass washer is changed every 40/50 washes or twice a day. The machine you have purchased has a safety thermostat in the boiler and another for the tub, so that in the event of the breakdown of any of the main thermostats, the safety thermostats switch off the corresponding heating.

Preparation of the dishes
Before washing the dishes, the preparatory steps below should be followed

• Remove the largest pieces of waste from the dishes before placing them in the baskets.
• Wash glassware first.
• Put the plates in the rack basket.
• Place the glasses upside down.
• Place the cutlery in the cutlery baskets with the handles downwards. The different pieces of cutlery can be mixed.

Selecting the wash cycle
Before starting the wash cycle, place the corresponding basket containing the dishes in the machine. To start the wash process first close the door and then select the wash cycle you wish to run for 1.5 s. The wash cycle will start automatically. Each wash cycle runs for a set time that is selected according to how dirty the plates are (55 s/75 s/120 s). The door must be closed for the machine to start the wash cycle. For safety reasons, if the door is open, the wash cycle will not start.

Thermo-stop
The thermo-stop guarantees a constant rinse at a temperature of 85 ⁰C. This means that the machine continues washing until the boiler reaches the ideal temperature. Then the rinse cycle starts.

Continuous wash cycle
The machine you have purchased has a continuous wash cycle so that heavily soiled items can be washed for a longer period. To activate the constant wash cycle, press and hold the long cycle button for 5 seconds, switch off or open the hood slightly to stop the cycle

Drainage of the machine
The dishwashers have two types of drainage: gravity drainage or using a drainage pump.

Drainage by gravity
To drain the machine in this way, just remove the overflow from the machine and it will drain naturally. For reasons of safety, this method of drainage should only be used with the machine switched off.

Drainage using the drainage pump (optional)
The drainage using the drainage pump option is only available on request. The drainage pipe must always be fitted on a siphon to prevent the return of odours. To drain the machine using this method, proceed as follows:

• Remove the overflow valve.
• Leave the door open.
• Press the drain button (B) for 3 seconds and the drainage cycle will start automatically.
• At the end of the cycle (approx. 160 s), replace the overflow valve. The machine may be switched off.

Switching off the machine
The dishwasher is switched off by pressing the ON-OFF button for 1.5 s. The machine should not be switched off during the wash process as this will stop the tableware inside the machine from being cleaned properly.

Cleaning the machine at the end of the day
At the end of the day, the filters, wash distributors, rinse branches and other accessories must be cleaned. This is necessary to prolong the service life of the machine. To ensure the efficient washing of the dishes, the dishwasher must be perfectly clean and disinfected.
