7.12 Installing and connecting dosing equipment

When operating the dishwashing machine, it is necessary to use a commercial
washing liquid and rinse aid. Use only detergents and rinse aid that are suitable for
machine dishwashing appliances and approved by the responsible authority. The
safety regulations relating to their handling, dosing, storage and use must be ob-
served in all cases.
Use a suitable dosing system to dose the detergent and/or rinse aid. MEIKO rec-
ommends the use of a MEIKO dosing system with appropriate detergent and rinse
aid. We do not recommend manual chemical dosing.
The dosing system must be installed by authorised, specialist personnel or by a
qualified dosing system supplier.
As an exceptionally wide range of dosing equipment is available in the market, it is
not possible for us to provide detailed instructions on its installation. Your chemical
supplier will be familiar with the best installation position for their product.
The dosing system used must comply with current safety regulations and be suita-
ble for use in commercial dishwashing machines. No major modifications may be
made to the dishwashing machine.
Due to the hazards that highly-concentrated chemicals can present, specific pre-
cautions must be taken when using dosing systems from different chemical suppli-
ers.
The operator must ensure that the safety of the dishwashing machine is not com-
promised by the retrofitting of a dosing system.
Precautions that prevent chemicals being sprayed when the dishwashing machine
doors are opened may need to be taken here! There must be no danger to the op-
erator at any time!
It must be ensured that the detergent solution stops being dosed as soon as the
tank doors are opened.
Different chemical suppliers use different systems. MEIKO cannot accept any liabil-
ity for loss ensuing as a result.
Electrical connection
Work and troubleshooting on the electrical installation of the machine must be per-
formed only by qualified electricians. Observe accident prevention regulations.
The "XD" terminal strip supplies electrical power and controls the dosing systems.
(More detailed information can be found on the machine's wiring diagram.)
No other connections are permissible.
Dosing equipment or other additional units must not be installed in the electrical
switch cabinet.
Water connection
When installing dosing units, it must be ensured that the water connection is made
in accordance with the applicable local standards.
Rinse aid and detergent
Suitable detergent and rinse aid must be selected in compliance with the condi-
tions of the chemical supplier concerned.
The machine is equipped with a rinse aid connection. Only this connection is al-
lowed to be used.
