and trays or for washing glasses in catering and similar companies.

intended for domestic applications.

4.2 Non-intended use

 This device is not designed for use by persons (including children) who have a restricted physical,
sensory or mental capacity, or persons who lack experience and knowledge of how to use this device.
Any such persons must first be instructed by a supervisory person with responsibility for their safety, or
supervised whilst operating the device.
 Do not use the dishwashing machine for washing electrically heated cooking implements or items made
of wood.
 Do not wash plastic items unless they are heat-resistant and will not be damaged by the detergent
solution.
 Only use a suitable detergent to wash aluminium items such as pots, containers or tins, in order to
prevent black discolouration.
 Winterhalter Gastronom GmbH will not accept liability for any damage caused by failure to use the

4.3 Handling chemicals (detergent, rinse aid, descaler, etc.)

 When using chemicals, adhere to the safety notes and recommended dosages printed on the packaging.
 Wear protective clothing, protective gloves and protective goggles when handling chemicals.
 Only use products which are suitable for commercial dishwashing machines. Such products are marked
accordingly. We recommend using products developed by Winterhalter. These products are specially
adapted for Winterhalter dishwashing machines.
 Do not mix different detergent products as this could result in crystallisation and consequently cause
irreparable damage to the detergent dosing device.
 Do not use any foaming products, e.g. hand soap, soft soap, manual wash-up cleaner. These products
must not enter the dishwashing machine, even through pre-washing of the dishes.
