The chapter on safety instructions describes the risks associated with the appliance in terms of product liability (according to the EU Directives).
The safety instructions should warn of hazards and help to avoid damages to persons, the environment and
property. Please make sure that you have read and understood all the safety instructions given in this chapter.
You must comply with the respectively valid national and international Safety at Work Regulations. The
manager is responsible for the valid regulations he/she has to provide. He/she must acquaint himself/herself
and the operator with the new regulations.
In addition to these operating instructions, comply with the rules on health and safety at work issued by the
Main Association of the industrial Professional Associations, especially with those that concern the handling
of hot items and risks involved (BGR 110 "Protection of health and safety at work in restaurants" and BGR
111 "Protection of health and safety at work in large-scale kitchens").
2.2 Warning Symbols Used
Symbols are used in these operating instructions to point out the dangers that can occur while operating or
cleaning the appliance. In both cases, the symbol provides information on the type and circumstances of
danger.
The following symbols can be used:
General hazardous area
Risk of hand injuries
2.3 Safety Instructions for Appliance Safety
Safe operation of the appliance depends on appropriate and thorough use. Negligent handling of the appliance can lead to danger to life and limb of the user and / or third parties as well as hazards to the appliance
itself and the other operator's property.
The following points are to be observed to ensure the appliance safety:
The appliance may only be operated when it is in perfect condition with regards to technical stan-
dards.
All the operating and actuating elements must be in a perfect and functionally reliable condition with
regards to technical standards.
Modifications or retrofits of the equipment are only permitted in consultation with the manufacturer
and on receipt of his written agreement.
In no case may people sit or stand on the appliance. Transport of persons is not permitted.
Before loading, the tray dispensing height at closed tray dispensers needs to be adjusted to the trays
used.
Never push the stacking platform down manually (e.g. for cleaning). There is a risk of injury when re-

2.3.1 Special safety instructions for mobile tray dispensers
The appliance is provided exclusively for manual transport. Transport using any kind of devi ces is not
permitted. Risk of injury and damage.
Release both total brakes before commencing transporting. Moving the appliance with the total
brakes lo cked can damage the chassis.
Transport should only be undertaken over level floors. Moving the appliance over very uneven floors
can damage the chassis.
Transport over inclined planes or steps is not permitted.
When approaching walls and moving round obstacles always pay attention to persons in the way.
Risk of injury.
When transporting the appliance, always hold both handles with your hands. Never let go of the ap-
pliance while moving it.
When transporting the appliance, do not move it faster than a walking pace. Heavily laden tray dis-
pensers are difficult to brake and steer. If necessary, ask for assistance when transporting the appliance.
If the tray dispenser tips over due to outside influences or inattention, never catch it manually. Risk of
injury.
Do not stop the appliance on sloping floors.
After stopping, the appliance should be secured against rolling away by means of both total brakes
being applied.
In the case of off-site transport in a vehicle such as a lorry, the appliances should be secured prop-
erly. The total brakes are not sufficient as a transport securing method.
2.3.2 Special safety instructions for open tray dispensers
The stacking platforms of the models OTA/47-36 and OTA/53-37 are not adjustable. Only suitable
tray sizes may be transported.
It is necessary to ensure that the stacking area of the models OTA/53-37 S and OTA/U-BW is always
adjusted to the dimensions of the trays to be transported.
The trays always have to be laid up within the edge on the stacking platform.
No items may be placed on the base plate when transporting.
The paths of the outrigger may not be blocked.
2.3.3 Special safety instructions for closed tray dispensers
To avoid injuries to the hands, care should always be taken to ensure that the dispensing height does
not fall below the upper rim of the housing.
2.4 Safety Instructions for Cleaning and Care
The following points shall be observed when carrying out any cleaning and maintenance operations:
For reasons of hygiene the cleaning instructions shall be strictly observed.
Do not clean the appliance with steam-jet or high-pressure washers.
2.5 Safety Instructions for Troubleshooting
The following points shall be observed when carry ing out any maintenance and troubleshooting operations:
All troubleshooting work should only be carried out by authorised specialists.
Defective components should only be replaced with original parts.
The local applicable Accident Prevention Regulations must be observed.
Tray dispensers are provided for the transport and storage of different trays in large-scale catering establishments and in the food service industry. If necessary, there are various models available:
Models of the type OTA are preferably used in areas of customer self-service counters, bistros and cafeterias. Furthermore, they can be used for the storage of trays on food distribution belts and in sculleries if there
is no automatic stacking.
Models of the type OTA/S are suitable for the stacking of trays at crockery return conveyors, also in connection with a stacking device. The trays are placed in the longitudinal direction and are held in place by the
sideways tray guide rails. The stacking area is adjustable in length and width to different tray dimensions.
Open basket dispensers of the type OTA/U-BW are suitable for the automatic stacking of trays in longitudinal
or transverse direction at dishwashers. The stacking area is adjustable in length and width to different tray
dimensions.
Models of the type OTA-E/BA-4xGN are also used in areas of customer self-service bars, bistros and cafeterias. They do not only provide trays but also cutlery in GN containers with sneeze guard.
Models of type TAG are closed tray dispensers for a stack of EN or GN trays. They are preferably used as a
tray dispenser in the guest area of cafeterias, canteens, rest houses and bistros used. In contrast to open
tray dispensers, the tray column is guided on all sides above the entire hei ght and can not b e overturn ed.
Due to the closed side walls, the tray dispenser can store trays of different colours and formats without disturbing the overall visual impression.
Models of the type TA are closed on the front side and are intended for two stacks of EN trays and GN trays.
Due to the high capacity, these models are ideal for the use on food distribution belts.
Besides the mobile tray dispensers, there is the model EBS-T intended for installation in worktops.
3.2 Intended Use
Tray dispensers are intended exclusively for transport and storage of trays ready for use.
Appliances of the type TAG have no compartment inner panelling. Therefore, universal trays, breakfast trays
and trapeze-shaped trays can not be inserted because of the smaller tray dimensions.
Appliances of the type TA are suitable only for EN and GN trays due to the half-open design. Other tray di-
mensions may not be used.
The intended use means the predetermined proc edures, compliance with the indicated spe cific ations and
use of the delivered or additionally available original accessories.
Any other use of the appliance is considered as unintended use.
3.3 Improper Use
It is not permitted to load the tray dispenser with other loads as given.
Tray dispensers are not intended to transport food.
In no case may people sit or stand on the appliance. Transport of persons is not permitte d.
No liability is assumed and no warranty claims can be submitted for damage s cau sed by improper use .
