General safety instructions

4.1

Operator's duty of care

The dishwashing machine has been constructed based on a risk analysis and after
careful selection of the applicable harmonized standards, as well as additional technical
specifications. It therefore corresponds to the latest technology and is guaranteed to
provide maximum safety.
This level of safety can only be achieved in practice, however, if all the necessary
measures are taken. The operator of the installation has an obligation of care to ensure
that these measures are scheduled, and also to check that they are correctly executed.
Measures to ensure the safe machine operation
The operator must ensure in particular that ...
... the dishwashing machine is only used in accordance with the regulations.
Should it be used in any other way, damage or danger may occur, for which we accept
no liability (see the chapter on "Use for the Purpose Intended").
... in order to preserve the operational and safety guarantees, whenever required, only
original parts supplied by the manufacturer are used.
...the user will lose the right to any possible claims if the appliance is modified using any
parts other than original parts.
... only appropriately qualified and authorized personnel use, maintain, and repair the
installation.
... the relevant personnel is regularly trained in all questions relating to safety at work and
environmental protection and, in particular, that they are familiar with the operating
instructions as well as with the safety information provided in them.
...the installation is only operated in perfect, operationally efficient condition and, in
particular, that the safety systems and switch elements are regularly checked for their
operational efficiency.
... the required personal protective equipment is made available to maintenance and
repair personnel, and is worn by them.
...... a functional test on all safety systems of the machine / installation is carried out
during every regular maintenance.
... the operating instructions are always kept in legible, complete condition at the place
where the installation is installed, and are always at hand.
... all the safety, warning and operating instructions provided are not removed and are
legible.
... any necessary initial tests to parts supplied by sub-suppliers, such as heat pumps or
other equipment, must be carried out. More detailed information, if required, can be
found in the relevant Instructions for Use.
