5.1.3 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 reaches the ideal washing temperature, the dishwashing process can be started. See the
temperature on the corresponding displays. The temperature in the boiler should be between 82-90
ºC and in the tank between 57-62 ºC
(see figure).
It is recommended that the water in the dishwasher is changed every 40/50 washes or twice a day.
The door must be closed for the machine to start filling. For safety reasons, if the
door is open, the machine will not fill.
The machine you have purchased has a safety thermostat in the boiler and another for the tub, so
that in the event of the breakdown of any of the main thermostats, the safety thermostats switch off
the corresponding heating.
During the first heating of the day, the boiler may reach a higher temperature than
that mentioned above due to heating inertia. This is normal. If pressurised steam is
observed coming out of the rinse branch nozzles, while the boiler is heating, the
technical service should be notified.
5.1.4 Preparation of the dishes
Before washing the dishes, the preparatory steps below should be followed:
•
Remove the largest pieces of waste from the dishes before placing them in the baskets.
•
Wash glassware first.
•
Put the plates in the rack basket.
•
Place the glasses upside down.
•
Place the cutlery in the cutlery baskets with the handles downwards. The different pieces of
cutlery can be mixed.
•
Place the cutlery baskets in the lower baskets.
5.1.5 Selecting the wash cycle
Before starting the wash cycle, place the corresponding basket containing the dishes in the machine.
To start the wash process first close the door and then select the wash cycle you wish to run for 1.5
s. The wash cycle will start automatically. Each wash cycle runs for a set time that is selected
according to how dirty the plates are (60 s/90 s/180 s).
The door must be closed for the machine to start the wash cycle. For safety reasons,
if the door is open, the wash cycle will not start.
5.1.6 Thermo-stop
The thermo-stop guarantees a constant rinse at a temperature of 85
⁰
C. This means that the
machine continues washing until the boiler reaches the ideal temperature. Then the rinse cycle
starts.
5.1.7 Stopping the wash cycle and end of wash cycle
The wash cycle can be stopped in the following ways:
•
By switching off the machine
→
the cycle stops completely.
•
By opening the door
→
when the door is closed, the cycle continues.
At the end of the wash cycle, remove the basket and leave the dishes to dry naturally. Remove the
dishes from the basket with clean hands, taking care not to burn yourself as the dishes are extremely
hot.
5.1.8 Drainage of the machine
The dishwashers have two types of drainage; gravity drainage or using a drainage pump.
