Energy (optional)
Note:Cold water connection required.
The Energy module of the warewasher includes a fan motor and a heat exchanger. The fan motor extracts the moist and
warm air (=vapours) out of the washing compartment and transfers the generated energy to the cold inlet water via a
heat exchanger.
Cool (optional)
Note:Cold water connection required.
The rinse temperature can be changed for warewashers with this option. Glasses are ready to be used again faster with
cold rinsing.
Integral water softener (optional)
Warewasher with built-in salt container for regeneration salt. The regeneration salt softens the inlet water and thus prevents a build-up of limescale inside the warewasher and on the items being washed.

English | 3 | Machine description
Excellence-i(Plus) (optional)
Note:Cold water connection required.
A reverse osmosis device is fitted in Excellence-i warewashers. Reverse osmosis removes substances that have dissolved in the water. The largely limescale and mineral-free osmosis water prevents any deposits on glasses, dishes and
cutlery and delivers wash results that do not require polishing. Excellence-iPlus warewashers also have an integrated water softener.

3.7Chemicals
Operate the warewasher with chemicals from Winterhalter. Contact Winterhalter or an authorised customer service team
before using other chemicals.
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is required to ensure that water on the wash items runs off as a thin film after washing. This helps the wash
items to dry quickly.
Rinse aid is automatically dispensed using an integrated or external dosing device.
Detergent
A detergent is required to dissolve food residues and dirt on the wash items. Detergent is automatically dispensed using
an (optional) integrated or external dosing device.
To avoid damaging the warewasher and to achieve a good wash result:
– Do not use acidic detergents.
– Do not use foaming products (e.g. manual washing-up liquid) for pre-treating the wash items.

A0-30 and A0-60
Note:Not possible with activated external energy management or with Cool option warewashers.
In the A0-30 and A0-60 wash modes, the washing programmes are adjusted to the A0 requirements by means of increased temperature and an extended wash time. The modes can thus result in higher energy consumption and a longer
wash time. If the A0 values are not fulfilled, the washing process stops after 20 minutes. The Intensive, Silence, ECO and
Short programmes cannot be selected.

4.2.8 Basic cleaning
The menu-guided basic cleaning programme is used for the thorough cleaning of wash items:
– Removal of starch residues from dishes
– Basic cleaning of new glasses
– Removal of residues on glasses
We recommend running the basic cleaning programme at the end of the working day, as the machine’s tank is emptied
when the programme ends. This programme requires a basic cleaner that is suitable for commercial warewashers. For
dishes, Winterhalter recommends the A 20 ST basic detergent, and for glasses the A 25 GL basic cleaner.
WARNING
Risk of chemical burns due to chemicals
Chemicals can cause severe burns or serious eye damage if they come into contact with the skin or eyes.
Ø In the event of contact with the eyes or skin, wash thoroughly with tap water. If necessary, seek medical
attention.
Ø Wear protective clothing, protective gloves and protective goggles.
Ø Read and observe the danger and safety notes on the container and safety data sheet.
Starting the basic cleaning programme
Follow dosing recommendations when adding the basic cleaner. The initial dose for the first use of the programme depends on the machine’s tank volume.
The post-dosing for each additional programme depends on the rinse water volume.

4.2.9 Descale
If the warewasher is operated in a hard water area without a water treatment system, then the boiler, the machine interior
and all water-bearing lines and components may develop scale. Limescale deposits and the dirt and residual grease they
contain present a hygiene risk, while scaling can cause heating elements to fail. If limescale deposits form, the warewasher must be descaled.
The interior of the warewasher can be descaled using the descaling programme (} page 23). We recommend running
the descaling programme at the end of the working day only because the machine’s tank is emptied when the programme
starts and ends.
The descaling programme is used to descale the interior of the warewasher. We recommend running the descaling programme at the end of the working day only because the machine’s tank is emptied when the programme starts and ends.
Water-bearing lines and the boiler can only be descaled by an authorised service technician.
For descaling, you require an acid-based descaler suitable for commercial warewashers. Winterhalter recommends A 70
LS descaler.
WARNING
Risk of chemical burn due to contact with descaler

5.1Installing the warewasher
The installation site must be frost-resistant to prevent the water supply systems from freezing.
Ø Level the warewasher horizontally using a spirit level.
Ø Adjust any unevenness of the base using the height-adjustable machine feet.
5.2Connecting the warewasher
The warewasher and any other relevant additional devices must be connected in adherence to local standards and regulations by an electrical company authorised by the relevant electricity supplier.
5.2.1 Water connection
The warewasher must be connected to the fresh water supply via the provided dirt trap to ensure that the water safety requirements stipulated in DIN EN 61770 are met.
The dirt trap prevents particles from the inlet water from entering the warewasher, thus preventing extraneous rust on the
cutlery and in the warewasher.
Connecting the supply hose
Important notes:
– The supply hose must not be shortened or damaged.
– Only use the supply hose provided. Old, pre-existing supply hoses must not be re-used.
– Do not kink the supply hose when laying it.
– Only install the dirt trap by hand. Do not use tools.

5.2.2 Electrical connection
DANGER
Danger of electric shock due to live components
A fatal electric shock can occur when the warewasher and its additional devices are connected to the electrical mains supply.
Ø The warewasher must be connected by an electrical company authorised by the relevant electricity sup-
plier as per the locally applicable standards and regulations.
Ø Locally applicable standards and regulations must be observed when connecting to the electrical mains
supply.
Ø Connect the protective circuit according to the instructions.
Ø The electrical safety of this warewasher is only guaranteed if it is connected to a correctly installed protective circuit.
Ø The wiring diagram must be observed.
Ø The warewasher may be operated only at the voltages and frequencies specified on the rating plate.
Ø For machines delivered without a plug, a fixed connection must be installed as an overriding priority.
Ø We recommend installing a mains isolation switch with all-pole disconnection from the mains supply in the case of a
fixed connection (without plug) so as to be able to ensure the absence of voltage during installation and maintenance.
Ø The electrical connection must be secured as a separately fused circuit with slow fuses or circuit breakers. The fuse
protection used depends on the total connected load of the warewasher. The total connected load is specified on the
rating plate of the warewasher.
Ø If a residual current circuit breaker is provided on-site, we recommend installing a Class B all-current sensitive resid-
ual current circuit breaker.
Ø Machines delivered from the factory that are fitted with mains cable and safety plug (single-phase), or a CEE plug
(triple-phase), may only be connected to the mains network indicated on the nameplate. Machines may only be connected to an individually protected safety socket. Do not use extension cables or multi-socket adapters.
Ø Determine the cable cross-section of the mains cable using the following table:
The mains cable must be a H07RN-F type or equivalent.

WARNING
Risk of chemical burns due to chemicals
Ø Read and observe the danger and safety notes on the container and safety data sheet.
Ø Wear protective clothing, protective gloves and protective goggles.
Note:Only for machine with external canisters.
A suction tube is needed to suck out the chemicals from the canisters.
– Do not place the suction tube for the rinse aid in the canister with detergent or vice versa.
– Only use the suction tube with sufficiently stable canisters. Narrow and tall canisters can tip as soon as the suction
tube is pulled.
– Do not pull on the dosing hose or main power cable, as this may lead to a defect.
Ø Wear protective clothing, protective gloves and protective goggles.
Ø Pull the suction tube carefully out of the empty canister.
Ø Check whether both vent holes (1) in the cover cap are open. Clean if required.
Ø Place suction tube in the new canister.
Ø Slide the cover cap slowly downwards until the canister opening is closed.

8.5Changing the chemicals
Crystallisation can occur as a result of mixing different chemical products, which can damage the dosing device.
The dosing device and the dosing hoses must therefore be flushed with water before a new chemical product is used.
If this is not done, the Winterhalter Gastronom GmbH warranty and product liability will be void.
For machines with integrated storage tanks
Ø Have chemicals replaced by an authorised service technician.
For machines with external canisters and suction tubes

8.6Descaling the warewasher
If the warewasher is operated in a hard water area without a water treatment system, then the boiler, the machine interior
and all water-bearing lines and components may develop scale. Limescale deposits and the dirt and residual grease they
contain present a hygiene risk, while scaling can cause heating elements to fail. If limescale deposits form, the warewasher must be descaled.
The interior of the warewasher can be descaled using the descaling programme (} page 23). We recommend running the
descaling programme at the end of the working day only because the machine’s tank is emptied when the programme
starts and ends.
The descaling programme is used to descale the interior of the warewasher. We recommend running the descaling programme at the end of the working day only because the machine’s tank is emptied when the programme starts and ends.
Water-bearing lines and the boiler can only be descaled by an authorised service technician.

8.7Changing the activated carbon filter
Note:Only for Excellence-i(Plus) warewashers with an integrated reverse osmosis module.
Ø Reset the activated carbon filter counter (} page 26).
8.8Maintenance by the customer service department
We recommend that you have the warewasher serviced by an authorised service technician at least once a year so that
vulnerable components subject to ageing and wear can be checked and replaced as required. Original spare parts must
be used for repairs or to replace consumable parts.
Consumable parts include:
– Dosing tubes
– Supply hose
– Door seal
– Excellence-i(Plus) (optional): The reverse osmosis module membranes
The warewasher control unit specifies the number of operating hours or wash cycles at which the pictogram for service is shown.
Note:This function is deactivated ex-works. On request, the service technician can activate this
function.
