3. Operation
3.1. Initial Setup
All machines are equipped with switches to prime the peristaltic pumps at anytime the master switch is
"ON".
Following completion of the installation, always fill the machine with water before starting it.
Caution: Do not operate the dishmachine without the drain screen in place. Debris getting into the
pump impeller can damage the pump.
3.1.1. Check…
 Drain screen is in place
 Spray arms and end plugs are secure
3.1.2. Filling the Machine
With the power “ON” hold the fill button until the water level is approximately ½” to ¾” below the
overflow hole in the PVC standpipe. The water level should be approximately even with the
bottom edge of the splash guard in the sump area of the machine.
3.1.3. Chemicals
• Assure there is a sufficient supply of chemicals before beginning a shift.
• Check the chemical lines to the chemical containers.
a. Red: detergent line.
b. Blue: rinse agent line.
c. Clear/White: sanitizer line.
• Activate the prime switches for the three chemical pumps until product is
discharging into the machine.
Note: Use only commercial-grade detergents and rinse aids recommended by your chemical
professional. Do not use detergents and rinse aids formulated for residential dishwashers.
Low Temperatures chemical-sanitizing dishmachines must not exceed 6% sodium hypochlorite
solution (bleach) as the sanitizing agent. Higher levels may damage stainless or components.
Follow the directions precisely that are on the litmus paper vial and test the water on the surface
of the bottom of the glasses. Concentration should be 50 p.p.m. minimum to 100 p.p.m.
maximum. If concentration is incorrect contact your chemical supplier.
3.1.4. Run a Cycle
To start the machine close the doors - the machine will automatically start and run through its
cycle. Watch to ensure that the chemicals are delivered and stop during the cycle. The amount
of chemical delivered, whether it is detergent, sanitizer or rinse aid, is determined by its
respective cam on the cam timer.
• Cam number 5 runs the detergent pump
• Cam number 6 runs the sanitizer pump
• Cam number 7 runs the rinse aid pump
These cams were set at the factory but can be adjusted after final installation to maximize
efficiency of chemical use .Check the water temperature at the end of the cycle for minimum
120°F, recommended 140°F (49/60°C).
