Usage Features
The DW1040TP is designed for user-friendly operation with a control panel that includes a program selection switch and indicator lamps.
Control Panel Features:
- Switch Off (0): Turns the machine off.
- Program 1 (1): 30-second washing program.
- Program 2 (2): 60-second washing program.
- Program 3 (3): 90-second washing program.
- AW Program (Washing): Manual washing mode.
- AP Program (Rinsing): Manual rinsing mode.
- Wash Ready (Green Lamp): Indicates the water has reached the ready temperature.
- Wash On (Blue Lamp): Indicates the machine is currently washing.
- Thermic Contactor Off (Red Lamp): Lights up if the washing pump encounters forcing, voltage fluctuation, or failure, requiring a manual reset of the thermal relay.
Start-up Procedure:
- Ensure proper electrical and water connections, including grounding and an open water supply valve.
- Clean solid wastes from dishes and pre-wash them before placing them into baskets.
- Do not overload baskets or use detergent for pre-washing.
- Use foam-controlled liquid detergent.
- Ensure the detergent and polisher dosing apparatus are connected and functioning.
- Fix the overflow pipe in place and open the hot water supply valve.
- Place the basket into the machine and close the cover.
- Turn the switch from "0" to "1" to start. The machine will fill and heat water, indicated by the "Wash Ready" lamp.
- The program starts automatically when the cover is closed. If the cover is opened during a program, the machine stops and resumes from the point of interruption once closed.

Weekly Maintenance:
The weekly maintenance procedure is identical to the daily cleaning, emphasizing thorough cleaning of all removable parts and filters to ensure optimal performance and hygiene.
Safety Precautions:
- Always use rubber gloves during cleaning and maintenance.
- Do not spray water directly onto electrical devices.
- Avoid using scratchy or stripper tools for cleaning.
- Ensure the machine is properly grounded and connected to an electrical source with a leak current relay.
- Do not connect the device to waterlines with temperatures below -5°C or above 50°C.
- Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and ensure it is regularly checked.
- Do not place hands into the hot boiler water containing detergent.
- The power cord must be a min. H05RN-F type with a cable diameter of min. 5x2.5 mm².
- The grounding line must be continuously checked.
Troubleshooting (Intervention After Failure):
The manual provides a detailed troubleshooting guide for common issues such as:
- Device not working: Check electrical supply, switches, level switch, and solenoid valve.
- No filling: Check level switch, contaminants in the tube, water level, and solenoid valve.
- Slow filling: Check tap, water pressure (use a pressurizing pump if low), and clean the solenoid valve filter.
- No heating: Check overflow pipe connection, thermostat settings (80°C for rinsing, 50°C for washing), and cable connections.
- Not emptying: Check for solid wastes, drainage hose, and siphon cleanliness.
- Inefficient working: Check pump suction filter, nozzle cleanliness, detergent amount, and program duration.
- No drying (if applicable): Check polisher amount and rinsing water thermostat (80°C).
- Condensation/Striped glasses: Do not store glasses on a flat surface, check polisher amount, and use foamless detergent.
- Excess foam: Check water temperature (must be >50°C), detergent/polisher dosing, and clean the tank/boiler if foamed detergent was used.
- Stains on glass: Decrease polisher amount (acceptable dosage: 0.1 cc/liter).
- Washing arms not rotating: Remove and clean washing arm, ensure water pressure is sufficient (mount a pressurizing pump if below 202 kpa).
