How to use the machine
Switch on the Machine 10-15 minutes before use, ensuring the bed of granulate is warm.
Wash cutlery as normal and either; place directly into the machine still wet or leave in water to soak. (Cutlery must be wet before entering the machine!).
Place handfuls of 6-10 pieces of cutlery every 5 seconds (allow previously placed cutlery to move around the machine to prevent jamming).
After 20-30 seconds cutlery will begin to leave the machine onto the tray; dried, polished and sparkling, ready for the table.
How to check
The Motor
Catersave have sourced the fastest, most reliable and efficient motor on the market. Turn on the machine and allow to run for 5 minutes and make sure the granulate is circulating around the machine. The machine should be very quiet with a soft humming.
The UV Light
Inside the machine, there is an ultraviolet light that destroys bacteria and virus’ from the cutlery. This is an essential part of the machine that sanitises the cutlery. UV light has proven to kill virus’ such as corona virus. Make sure the a blue light is emitting from the machine.
The Heater
The heater gently heats the bed of granulate that dries and transports the cutlery through the machine. To check the heater is working; simply check the heater light at the front of the machine.
The Granulate
The granulate is the husk of corn, ground down into tiny parts that absorb water when wet cutlery is placed onto it. The tiny parts can get into the cervices of the cutlery that hand polishing can not reach. The grain can should be changed ever 4-6 weeks, when properly used.
Please see the grain section for information on how to change the grain. Please book a service if your heater or motor is not working.
