This document is a user and installation guide for the Maidaid Halcyon C2035WS pumped waste dishwasher. It provides comprehensive instructions on the safe operation, installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the appliance.
Function Description
The Maidaid Halcyon C2035WS is a professional heavy-duty dishwasher designed for commercial use. Its primary function is to wash dishes efficiently and hygienically. The "pumped waste" designation indicates that the machine is equipped with a drain pump, allowing for flexible installation where the drain sump may not be lower than the machine's base. The dishwasher offers various wash programmes tailored to different levels of soiling and types of dishes, including standard cycles for lightly, averagely, and heavily soiled items, as well as special programmes for energy saving, heavily encrusted dishes, cutlery, glasses, and sanitisation. It also features an integral water softener (optional) to manage water hardness and ensure optimal washing results.
Usage Features
The dishwasher's control panel, as shown in Fig. 1, includes an ON/OFF button (1), SPECIAL PROGRAMME SELECTION button (2), PROGRAMME SELECTION button (3), START button (4), INFORMATION DISPLAY (5), STATUS BAR (LED) (6), and CHECK BAR (LED) (7).
To switch the dishwasher on (Fig. 2):
- Turn on the main power switch and open the external water tap.
- Check for the overflow, if required.
- Press the ON/OFF button (1).
- The CHECK BAR (7) will light up, turning from red to green to confirm the check. A serious fault will cause the LED bar to light red and stop operation, while a minor error will be indicated in orange without stopping the cycle.
- Loading begins automatically when switched on, with a flashing point on the display until the level is reached.
- The STATUS BAR (6) lights up from bottom to top, indicating heating. Once the working temperature is reached, it stays green, signifying optimal wash conditions.
Filling the rack (Fig. 3):
- Use a suitable rack, avoiding overloading or overlapping dishes.
- Wipe dishes before placing them in the dishwasher to remove dry or solid residues.
- Place empty dishes facing downwards.
- Place plates with the inner surface facing upwards in the sloping rack.
- Place cutlery handle-end down in the cutlery basket.
- Avoid placing silver and stainless steel cutlery together to prevent browning or corrosion.
- Wash dishes immediately after use to prevent residue hardening.
- Use only solid, dishwasher-proof dishes.
Cycle selection and start-up (Fig. 4 & 5):
- Press the PROGRAMME SELECTION (3) or SPECIAL PROGRAMME SELECTION (2) button repeatedly to select a suitable wash cycle. The display (5) will show the cycle number.
- To run the programme, press START (4). The STATUS BAR (6) will flash orange, increasing from bottom to top to indicate cycle progression.
- When the cycle finishes, the bar lights up green.
- For rapid drying, remove the rack as soon as the cycle finishes.
- To stop a wash cycle early, press START (4).
- In hood versions, after the first cycle, automatic start ("AS" on display) is enabled for subsequent cycles when the hood is closed.
