IMPORTANT NOTES
USE IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATIONS
The machine is technical work equipment for express use in the work place.
The machine is exclusively to be used to wash ware such as plates, cups, glasses, cutlery, trays etc.
Do not use for electrically heated cooking and heat conservation appliances.
SAFETY:
Never hose down the machine.
The “Attention” symbol is shown beside instructions that are essential for the safe
operation of the machine. Please read these passages thoroughly.
LIABILITY:
Installations and repairs which are carried out by non-authorized technicians or the use of other than original spare parts, and any technical alterations to the machine, may affect the warranty set out in the standard conditions of sale.
MACHINE NOISE LEVEL:
The machine noise level is < 70 dB (A).
CONNECTING TENSIONS:
The machine described in this operation manual has following connecting tensions: 400 V/50 Hz/3 Ph/N/PE or 230 V/50 Hz/1 Ph/N/PE
GENERAL INFORMATION ON WASHING GLASSES AND CUTLERY:
The local supply water quality has a major impact on the wash and rinse result. A high content of minerals which are dissolved in the water during the drying process may become visible in the form of spots and streaks.
Authorised service personnel can determine the content of minerals by measuring the electrical con­ductivity. Values of less than 80 Microsiemens/cm indicate a low content of minerals. Higher contents need to be reduced below the critical level by demineralising the water using specic demineralisation cartridges or a reverse osmosis system.
Please contact your authorised service partner for support.
We recommend the use of specic glass racks. These racks hold the glasses in slightly inclined posi­tions – this will improve the rinse efciency.
To avoid unpleasant smelling glasses, specic chlorine-free detergent for glass washing should be used.
Before washing new glasses the rst time with a commercial glass washer, intensive basic cleaning is mandatory to reduce the greasy lm which is on most glasses for protection during production. If not, water drainage is impaired and streaks and spots may remain on glasses.
We recommend carrying out the basic cleaning manually in a sink (using gloves and a brush for clean­ing) with a much higher chemical concentration of detergent (minimum 10 g of detergent per liter).

1. INSTALLATION

1.1. LOCATION

– Rear wall clearance not required.
– Level machine by turning the feet.
– Distribute machine weight equally onto all feet

1.2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Must be carried out by an authorized technician according to
the local and national codes.
For Australia: in accordance with AS/NZS3500.1
– The electrical supply shall comply with the name-plate data.
– Line fuses and cable cross section shall comply with the require-
ments.

1.3. WATER CONNECTION

A
Must be carried out by an authorized technician according to
the national and local codes. The machine must be operated with potable water. For water with an extremely high mineral content an external deminerali­sation is strongly recommended
– Connect to warm water, if possible (max. 60°C).
– Water hardness:
• Machines without softener: max. 3.75° Clark = 0.5 mmol/l.
• Machines with softener: max. 37.5° Clark = 5.3 mmol/l.
– Line ow pressure
• Ecomax 402/502-20: Line ow pressure 0,5 – 10 bar.
> 10 bar: pressure reducer valve necessary.
• Other models: Line ow pressure:2 – 6 bar. < 2 bar: provide a rinse pumpe at site.
> 6 bar: pressure reducer valve necessary.
– Connect the union nut “A” (3/4”) of the water supply hose to the
site shut off valve.
max. 60 mm
– Do not kink or cut the supply hose. If an extended supply hose is
required, use one of the same specications as the original.

1.4. DRAIN CONNECTION

Machine without drain pump
– Ensure gravity drain.
– For these machine types, a oor drain is mandatory as the drain
hose exits the machine at approx. 60 mm above oor level. Other­wise, residual water may remain in the tank and hose.
– Do not kink drain hose.
Machine with drain pump
– Connection between machine and site drain must not exceed max.
height of 0,65 m.
– Do not place the drain hose loosely on the oor (the hose could be
rubbed through). Fix it at site!.

3. START-UP

GB
Attention:
The maximum suction head of the dosing pumps is 1.5 m. Do not confuse the containers Use only detergent and rinse aid for commercial applications. Please pay attention to the manufacturer’s safety instructions.
NOTE: Before changing to a different product type (even from the
same supplier), the suction hoses must be rinsed thoroughly with fresh water (procedure as described under section
3.3.). Otherwise, the mixing of different types of chemicals
will cause crystallization, which may result in a malfunction of the dosing pump.

3.1. DETERGENT

– Do not use any acidic detergent products with the optional built-in
detergent pump! (The ph-value has to be higher than 7.)
– Place the suction hose into the external detergent container.
Fill the suction hose according to chapter section 3.3..

3.2. RINSE AID

– Place the suction hose (blue marking) into the external rinse aid
container. Fill the suction hose according to chapter section 3.3.

9. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

9.1. POOR WASH RESULT

GB
TYPE OF FAILURE POSSIBLE CAUSE
Washware are not clean. Wash arms stiff (you should be able to
turn them easily by hand).
Wash arm nozzles are clogged
(visual check).
Rinse arm nozzles are clogged (possibly by lime deposit)
Detergent concentration is too low or too high.
Coarse strainer soiled. Take out strainer, empty and clean it.
Wrong program selected for heavily soiled washware.
Dishes or glasses do not dry properly.
Rinse aid concentration too low. Increase concentration.
Items to be washed still greasy. Detergent concentration too low: increase
REMEDY
Take out wash arms and clean them thoroughly.
Check water outlet from machine to wash arms is clear.
Take out wash arm, remove cleaning cap and rinse the wash arm thoroughly until soil is removed.
Replace correctly.
Remove rinse arms and decalcify them in separate container.
Check setting of detergent concentration. See also operating instructions point 6.1.
Select program with longer wash cycle.
See also operating instructions point 6.2.
(see instructions).
Check if detergent is appropriate. If not choose a stronger one.
Drain soiled water and rell machine. Check pre-scrap­ping procedure.
Stripes and staines on dishes or glasses.
Rack is not suitable for type of wash­ware.
Washware stays too long in the machine at the end of program.
Rinse aid concentration too high. Reduce quantity (see instructions).
Hard water or high mineral content. Check water quality.
Rack is not suitable for type of wash­ware.
Insufcient rinse aid concentration causes staines
Machine with softener:
Wrong type of salt used. Use only granular regeneration salt.
Use appropriate racks to create a sloping position which allows water to drain away from cavities.
Take out washware as soon as cycle is completed to enable the ware to dry.
Obtain details from local water authority.
Recommended values:
Ideal degree of hardness is 4° Clark.
Ideal conductivity value for glasses is max. 150 µS/ cm and for dishes max. 400 µS/cm.
Use appropriate racks to create a sloping position which allows water to drain away from cavities.
Increase quantity (see instructions)
