4 Safety notes
In order to be able to use the UC series dishwashing machine safely, carefully read the safety notes listed
here.
4.1 Intended use
− The UC series dishwashing machine is to be used exclusively for washing dishes, e.g. plates, cups, cutlery
and trays or for washing glasses in catering and similar companies.
− Always wash using washing racks suitable for the dishes. Never wash without a washing rack.
− The UC series dishwashing machines are technical pieces of equipment for commercial use and are not
intended for domestic applications.
4.2 Non-intended use
− This device is not designed for use by persons (including children) who have a restricted physical, sen-
sory or mental capacity, or persons who lack experience and knowledge of how to use this device. Any
such persons must first be instructed by a supervisory person with responsibility for their safety, or super-
vised whilst operating the device.
− Do not use the dishwashing machine for washing electrically heated cooking implements or items made
of wood.
− Do not wash plastic items unless they are heat-resistant and will not be damaged by the detergent solu-
tion.
− Only use a suitable detergent to wash aluminium items such as pots, containers or tins, in order to pre-
vent black discolouration.
− Winterhalter Gastronom GmbH will not accept liability for any damage caused by failure to use the dish-
washing machine in accordance with the intended use.
4.3 Handling chemicals (detergent, rinse aid, descaler, etc.)
− When using chemicals, adhere to the safety notes and recommended dosages printed on the packaging.
− Wear protective clothing, protective gloves and protective goggles when handling chemicals.
− Only use products which are suitable for commercial dishwashing machines. Such products are marked
accordingly. We recommend using products developed by Winterhalter. These products are specially
adapted for Winterhalter dishwashing machines.
− Do not mix different detergent products as this could result in crystallisation and consequently cause ir-
reparable damage to the detergent dosing device.
− Do not use any foaming products, e.g. hand soap, soft soap, manual wash-up cleaner. These products
must not enter the dishwashing machine, even through pre-washing of the dishes.
4.4 General safety notes
− Carefully read through the safety and operating notes contained in these instructions. Winterhalter Gas-
tronom GmbH will not accept any liability and all warranty claims will be rendered null and void if the
safety notes are not observed.
− Keep the machine documents close to hand. The service technician authorised by Winterhalter require
the circuit diagram for repairs.
− For your own safety, regularly test the on-site residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) by pressing the test
button.
− The dishwashing machine must not be installed in a potentially explosive atmosphere or in areas subject
to frost.
− Load sharp, pointed utensils so that they cannot injure anyone.
− Keep children away from the dishwashing machine. The inside of the machine holds a solution of deter-
gent in hot water at about 60°C.
