Specific Characteristics

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The positioning and installation, and all repairs or modifications, should always be carried out by an AUTHORISED TECHNICIAN, in accordance with the applicable legislation of the country. The installation, incorrect adjustment, inappropriate maintenance or use of the appliance may cause material damages and injuries.

Removal of packaging
Remove packaging from the machine and check for damage during transportation. If any damage is observed, immediately notify the supplier and the transport company. In the event of doubt, do not use the machine until the problem has been assessed. Packaging (plastic, expanded polyurethane, staples, etc…) must not be left in the reach of children, they are a potential hazard. The machine should be moved using a fork-lift truck or similar to avoid damage to the structure. Transport the machine to the installation location and then remove packaging. All the packaging can be recycled. Dispose of packaging correctly.

Positioning and levelling
This appliance has adjustable feet to allow it to be adjusted to the correct height, this is done by turning the foot to the desired height. For optimum operation, it is essential that the machine is correctly levelled. The flooring on which the machine is to be installed must be able to bear the full weight of the machine. Inspect final location of the machine prior to installation to prevent damage during use

Electrical connection 
An AUTHORISED TECHNICIAN should always carry out the appliance’s electrical connection. The legal standards in force in each country regarding connection to the mains should be taken into account.

• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the nameplate.
• The electric cable should be flexible, with an oil-proof covering, and it should not weigh less than the cable in an ordinary sleeve made of standard polychloroprene or an equivalent synthetic elastomer (H07RN-F ).
• The cross-section of the power cable must be suitable for the rated current of the machine.
• An easily accessible switch device should be installed next to the appliance for all the phases, with a minimum gap of 3 mm between contacts. This switch should be used to disconnect the appliance during installation, repair, cleaning and maintenance work. The switch should have fuses suitable for use with the rated current (A) of the machine.
• Alternatively, a suitable magneto-thermal switch may be used.

Electrical specifications of the installation

Voltage Configuration of the machine
The voltage configuration of the machine is stipulated on the nameplate (230V 1N~50Hz/60Hz). This configuration can be changed to 400V 3N, 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:

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:

If the water pressure is higher than the recommended pressure, a pressure regulator must be mounted at the output Fig. 2. If the mains water pressure is lower than the recommended pressure, a pressure pump should be mounted at the mains water supply Fig. 3. It is not necessary to install a pressure pump in the BT models.

• S → SHUT-OFF COCK F → FILTER H → WATER HOSE5
• E → ELECTROVALVE B → ELECTRIC PRESSURE PUMP

The following requirements are necessary for the correct hydraulic installation of the machine.

• The hydraulic circuit must be fitted with a valve to shut-off the water supply.
• Check that the mains pressure is within the range indicated above.
• To optimise the working of the machine, the manufacturer recommends that the water temperature at the machine intake is within +5°C and 60°C.
• If using hot water, the water temperature must not exceed 60 ⁰C / 140 ⁰F. All the machines should have a ¾” screw-on connection.

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.

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.

1. Machine on/off button. (ON/OFF) / Machine on pilot light
2. Machine ready pilot temperature satisfied
3. Short cycle button (90 s)/ Drainage button / Machine working pilot
4. Medium cycle button (120 s) / Machine working pilot
5. Long cycle button (180 s) / Cold rinse 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 bottles

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.

FAULTS, ALARMS AND BREAKDOWNS
The steps to be followed in the event of a fault or operating error are described below. The possible causes and possible solutions are listed in the following table. In the event of doubt, or if you are unable to resolve the problem, please contact the technical service.

NOTE: If a fault occurs and is not listed in the below table, please call the technical service. The manufacturer reserves the right to modify the technical characteristics with prior warning.
