Function Description:
The RM Gastro S-200 ABT is a commercial dishwasher specifically designed for washing dishes and cutlery in professional settings. Its primary function is to provide efficient and hygienic cleaning of kitchenware, with various programs and settings to accommodate different washing needs. The machine is equipped with features to optimize water and detergent consumption, as well as temperature control for effective sanitation.
Important Technical Specifications:
While specific numerical values for all technical specifications are not provided in the general overview, the manual highlights several key areas:
- Electrical Connection: The machine requires a specific electrical connection, emphasizing the importance of proper grounding and the use of appropriate safety devices (magnetic safety switches or fuses). It mentions that the equipotential wire must be 10 mm².
- Water Connection: The dishwasher needs a reliable water supply, and the manual specifies the use of a solenoid valve (E) and a gate valve (V) for connection. It also provides guidelines for water hardness, recommending a decalcifier for hard water to prevent mineral buildup. Water hardness is specified in French, German, and English degrees, along with parts per million (ppm) and mg/l for residual minerals. For example, French degrees range from 5 to 10, German from 4 to 7.5, and English from 5 to 9.5. Residual minerals can be up to 300/400 mg/l or 70-140 ppm.
- Acoustic Pressure Levels: The manual includes diagrams illustrating the machine's acoustic pressure levels, which vary depending on the model or configuration. Examples provided are 66 dB, 66.8 dB, 67.4 dB, and 74.3 dB.
- Operating Conditions: The ambient temperature for operation is 40°C/4°Cmin (average 30°C), altitude up to 2000 meters, relative humidity max 80% at 40°C / max 90% at 20°C, and transport/storage temperatures between -10°C and 55°C with peaks up to 70°C (max 24 hrs).
- Detergent and Rinse Aid: The machine is designed to use industrial-type liquid detergent and rinse aid, with specific dosage time adjustments for both. The detergent pump has a flow rate of 3 Litres/hour (0.4 Litres/hour for rinse aid).
Usage Features:
The S-200 ABT offers several user-friendly features and operational modes:
- Control Panel: The machine is operated via a control panel with an ON/OFF button (1), PROGRAMME SELECTION button (2), START button (3), and an INFORMATION DISPLAY (4) with a TIME BAR (5).
- Program Selection: Users can select different washing programs (e.g., PR 2, PR 3, PR 12) and initiate cycles. The display shows the selected program and progress.
- Self-Cleaning Program (CLS): The machine includes a self-cleaning program to maintain hygiene and efficiency.
- Half-Load Function: For models with the TT924 feature, a "half-load" function is available to save water and detergent when washing fewer items. This is indicated by a symbol (M) on the display.
- Temperature Adjustment: Users can adjust the boiler and tank temperatures through the control panel, ensuring optimal washing conditions for different types of kitchenware.
- Detergent and Rinse Aid Dosage: The dosage times for detergent and rinse aid can be adjusted to control their concentration in the wash tank, optimizing cleaning performance and cost efficiency.
- Error Messages: The machine provides error messages (e.g., ER 01 No Rinse, ER 02 No Drain, ER 03 No Heating, ER 04 Tank not loaded or tank water level sensor broken) to alert users to operational issues, facilitating troubleshooting.
Maintenance Features:
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of the dishwasher. The manual outlines several key maintenance tasks:
- Periodic Maintenance (every 20 days): This includes removing and cleaning the wash arms (upper and lower), cleaning the spray nozzles, extracting and cleaning the pump filter, and thoroughly cleaning the wash tank.
- Descaling: Due to calcium deposits from water, regular descaling of the internal surfaces of the tank, boiler, and pipes is necessary. This task should ideally be performed by a qualified technician.
- Long-Term Storage: If the machine is to be left unused for an extended period, it is recommended to lubricate all stainless steel surfaces with vaseline oil and, in areas prone to freezing, drain the water from the boiler and wash pump.
- Troubleshooting: The manual provides a list of common error messages and their corresponding solutions, advising users to contact an authorized service center if issues persist.
- Disposal: The manual includes instructions for the correct disposal of the product, emphasizing environmental responsibility and adherence to local regulations for waste electrical and electronic equipment. It advises users and businesses to contact their local authorities or suppliers for proper recycling.
