The machine is fitted with an electronic programmable device which can contain
a maximum of 60 different programs. Six of these programs can be chosen using
the program selection buttons.
A number of standard programs are included in the programming device on
delivery (see section, Standard programs). These programs can be modified to
suit individual customer requirements. Furthermore, completely new individual
programs can be programmed directly into the machine from the machine control
panel. If desired, the whole or parts of a standard program can be used as the
basis for programming.
Programming may only be carried out by authorized personnel.

Clean side
V398
Machines with double doors are fitted with an interlocking system that allows
only one door to be open at a time. This means that the door on the clean side
must be closed and latched by pressing the “DOOR” button before the door on
the soiled side can be opened.
On pressing the START button, the door is locked and a yellow lamp flashes
(process ON) for about 10 seconds. If the START button is pressed again during
this “alert” period the door on the soiled side will be unlocked and it can then be
opened by hand or automatically.
The doors can be locked or unlocked individually by entering the test program
(access code required).

The washing chamber
The washing chamber should be kept free of limescale deposits. Remove
remaining deposits by spraying on a normal acid-based detergent. Then run a
program to cleanse the washing chamber (if the correct dosage of descaling
compound is used, this should not normally be necessary).
The exterior
The front and side walls can be cleaned and disinfected with an alcohol-based
detergent, surgical spirit, or normal detergent. The control panel can be cleaned
in the same way.
Remove marks with ordinary stain-remover for stainless steel.
If the disinfector is used without automatic descaling, the steam generator must
be checked regularly for limescale deposits.
