The Model D-8 door-type commercial dishwasher has a
three-sided door or hood that is spring counterbalanced
and opens as one unit to provide access to the machine. The
machine can be easily modied from a straight- through to
a corner unit by simply moving one track rail. If the unit is
to be used in a corner, the right side should be positioned
toward the wall to allow access to the controls.
Model DD-8
The Model DD-8 door-type commercial dishwasher has a
three-sided door or hood that is spring counterbalanced
and opens as one unit to provide access to the machine.
The unit has two wash tanks and can wash two dish racks
at a time. The Model DD-8 can be specied as a straightthrough or corner unit when ordering. The side to be
used in the corner must be designated so the controls
are accessible.
Door Safety Switch
All models are equipped with a door safety switch. The
machine will not operate when the door is open. If the
door is accidently opened during a cycle, the machine will
stop operating. Some models may be equipped with an
optional door safety lock which prevents the door from
opening during a cycle.
On manual start units, the door must be closed and the
operator must press the start button to initiate a cycle.
On machines equipped with the optional automatic
start feature, the operator need only close the door to
start a cycle.
Control Circuit
All units are supplied with a 110 VAC control circuit.
Vacuum Breaker
The ll line has a vacuum breaker installed in it to prevent
any backow of water into the fresh water supply line. If
a negative pressure develops in the supply line, the loss
of pressure permits a check valve inside the breaker to
drop, sealing the orice. At the same time, a vent opens
admitting air to the system to break the vacuum.
Heaters
Wash tank water is heated by electricity, steam coil, steam
injectionor gas. Electrically heated machines are available
in 208, 240, 440, or 480 VAC only.
Automatic Wash Tank Fill
All machines are supplied with automatic wash tank ll.
Final Rinse Boosters (Optional)
Machines can be equipped with an optional built-in
electric booster, remote mounted booster or remote
mounted steam booster. These boosters are designed
to raise the rinse water temperature from 140°F to
180F°-185°F.
Heat and Voltage Field Changeover
Pump Motor
The unit is equipped with a 1½ HP motor. Model D-8 has
one motor; Model DD-8 has two motors.
When changing either to or from single- to three-phase
electrical power, the wash pump motor must be changed.
The motor overload relays must also be changed. See
parts description in the separate Illustrated Parts List and
wiring diagram.
When changing from 115 volts to 208, 230, 440 or 480 VACs,
single- or three-phase, a transformer must be added. The
motor overload relays must also be changed.

INSTALLATION
Visual Inspection
Before installing the unit, inspect the shipping container
and machine for damage. A damaged container may
indicate there is damage to the machine. If there is
damage to both the container and machine, do not throw
away the container. The dishwasher has been inspected
and packed at the factory and is expected to arrive in
an undamaged condition. However, rough handling by
carriers or others may result in damage to the unit while
in transit. If such a situation occurs, do not return the unit
to Blakeslee; instead, contact the carrier and ask them to
send a representative to the site to inspect the damage
to the unit and to complete an inspection report. You
must contact the carrier within 48 hours of receiving the
machine. Also, contact the dealer where you purchased
the unit.

Once the machine has been removed from the container,
make sure that there are no parts missing from the
machine. This may not be obvious at rst. If an item is
missing, contact Blakeslee immediately to have the missing
item shipped to you.
Leveling the Dishwasher
The dishwasher must be level to operate correctly. This
allows the hood to open and close properly and ensures
the best results while washing. The unit comes with
adjustable bullet feet, which can be turned using a pair of
channel locks or by hand if the unit can be raised safely.
Ensure that the unit is level from side to side and from front
to back before making any service connections. Minor
adjustments to the feet may be necessary to eliminate
any door gaps once the unit has been leveled.
Plumbing the Dishwasher
All plumbing connections must comply with all applicable
local, state, and national plumbing codes. The installing
plumber must ush the incoming water line thoroughly
prior to connecting it to the dishwasher. Any valves that
are fouled as a result of foreign matter left in the water
line, and any expenses resulting from this fouling, are not
covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
Various connections are labeled “180° Water”, “Steam”,
“Gas”, etc. Only connect the corresponding service to
these connections.
Dish Tables
Dish tables must be lipped into and slope slightly toward
the dishwasher. Use silicone sealant between the dish
table and the dishwasher. Secure with stainless steel
truss head screws.

Automatic Tank Fill (Standard)
The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic tank ll
system that utilizes a liquid level control. The unit will ll
automatically when the power switch is placed in the ON
(up) position. The tank takes approximately 3 minutes to
ll completely.
Note: The liquid level control will automatically maintain
the water level in the wash tank to within 3 inches
of the top of the standpipe when the unit is ON.
When the dishwasher is cycled, the nal rinse will
bring the water level up to the top of the standpipe.
Wash Cycle Selector (Optional)
This feature allows the user to choose between wash cycle
times. Choices are 1, 2, 4 and 6 minutes. The rinse cycle
is a set time of 12 seconds and cannot be changed. On
double units, each side will operate on the same cycle time.

Automatic Start (Optional)
When the dishwasher is equipped with this feature, a cycle
is initiated automatically when the door closes.
Manual Start (Standard)
To start a cycle on a unit equipped with the manual start
feature, the operator must close the door and press the
start button to initiate a cycle.
Tank Selection
(Optional on DD-8 only)
On two tank units, this feature allows the operator to
choose either the left, right of both tanks to operate
during each cycle. A choice of one of the single tanks can
be cycled during non-rush periods. It also wil allow the

Soiled Dishtable Operation
To increase speed and eciency and reduce breakage,
a few simple rules need to be observed:
•Allfoodmustberemovedfromdishwarebefore
placing them in stacks. This will maintain cleaner
wash water and reduce detergent usage.
Note: When placing silverware in at racks, it is important
not to overload. The silverware should be spread
out evenly in the rack so the surfaces are exposed
and can be cleaned by the spray of the dishwasher.
Note: As much as possible, keep soil from entering the
dishwasher. This will help maintain cleaner wash
water and reduce detergent usage.
Loading the Dishwasher
As much as possible, wash similar dishes at the same time.
This reduces sorting once the dishes have been cleaned.
When several racks in the buildup area have been lled,
run them through the dishwasher one after the other.
This will allow the loading operator to return to scrapping
and stacking.
For optimum results from a DD-8, two-tank dishwasher,
consider using one side exclusively for glasses and
silverware and the other side for more soiled ware, such
as plates and bowls.

Operating the Dishwasher
Once the wash tank has been lled and the detergent
added (for units with optional Wash Cycle Timer, set the
wash cycle time to 1, 2, 4 or 6 minutes), raise the hood
and slide the rack (or racks for DD-8) into the dishwasher.
Lower the hood. The dishwasher has a safety switch that will
prevent the machine from operating if the hood is open.
For units with standard timer, when the hood is opened,
the cycle will stop. The cycle will resume at the stopping
point when the hood is closed.
For units with the automatic start feature, if the hood is
opened during a cycle, another complete cycle will be
initiated when the hood is closed. This provides a complete
cycle to assure proper cleaning and rinsing.

2. Remove the scrap screens and empty them. Take them
to a sink and clean them using a suitable brush. Make
sure all debris is removed. Rinse thoroughly and place
them on a dish table
Note: Do not hit the sides of the scrap screens on a trash
container. Damage to the anges will not allow
them to seat properly in the dishwasher, permitting
food debris to pass into the wash tank.
3. Inspect the rotating wash arms for blockage of any
opening and free rotation. Remove and clean as
needed. (See MAINTENANCE section of this manual.)
4. Lift the retainer on the standpipe guide. Remove

Upper and lower wash arms must turn freely and continue
to turn for a few seconds when spun by hand.
Wash arm openings may become clogged by food debris
if scrap screens are not in place. The wash arms are easily
removed for cleaning.
perform a lockout-tagout procedure. Unscrew the plug
and clean the screen thoroughly. Reinsert the screen into
the strainer body and tighten the plug.
To remove the lower wash arm, rst remove the rinse arm
and unscrew the spindle bearing pin. The wash arm can
thenbeliftedothespindle.
To remove the upper wash arm, unscrew the rotor nut
and remove the wash arm.
Final Rinse Arms and Nozzles
The rinse nozzles will need frequent cleaning if the water
supply is considered “hard” and contains dissolved solids
such as calcium and magnesium.
Obstructions in the lower rinse arm nozzles can be cleared
using an opened paper clip or similar object. Push the
obstruction into the rinse arm, then remove the end caps
and ush out the tube.
The upper rinse nozzles can be cleared by using an opened
paper clip or similar object. Push the obstruction into the
rinse arm. Remove the rinse nozzle closest to the end and
ush out the line. Reinstall the rinse nozzle when nished.

Pump Motor Overload Protection
Water Treatment
Wash pump motor protection is provided by thermal
overload relay(s) located in the control box. In the event
the pump becomes jammed, the motor will draw a higher
current and trip the overload relay. Once any jam has been
cleared and the impeller turns freely, the overload must
be manually reset before the motor will operate.
Thermal Overload Relay
Thermal Overload Relay Location
CAUTION
Any open (blown) fuse must be replaced with the
same size and type fuse. Increasing the size or
rating of the replacement fuse will eliminate the
circuit protection and void the warranty. The control
panel uses a 1.6 amp – slow blow fuse. Blakeslee
recommends that spare fuses of the correct rating and
type be kept on hand. These fuses can be obtained
from the Blakeslee parts distributor or authorized
service agency.
The quality of the water supplied to the dishwasher will
Water quality is typically referred to as water hardness.
The higher the mineral content, the harder the water.
Some water supplies are only slightly hard, while others
are considered very hard. Water hardness is measured in
grains per gallon (gpg).
Water Quality Categories
1–3 gpg – slightly hard
3–7 gpg – moderately hard
7–10 gpg – hard
10+ gpg – very hard
Left untreated, hard water will leave behind deposits,
called scale, that can build up on machine surfaces. Hard
water requires the use of more detergent to achieve the
same cleaning results and may leave visible spots on
glasses and atware.
Water that is only slightly hard may not need treatment
to achieve good results; however, if moderately hard to
very hard water is being supplied to the unit, a water
treatment system is recommended.
There are various water treatment systems available. Speak
to a water treatment specialist or chemical supplier for
water treatment options.
— 19 —
Water Treatment System Maintenance
Depending on the type of water treatment system, regular
maintenance may be required.
Water hardness may dictate the type and frequency of
maintenance. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s or
water treatment specialist’s recommendations.
Equipment failures caused by water quality issues (scale
or lime buildup, for example) are not covered under the
manufacturer’s warranty.

charged to the customer. All warranty parts are shipped by surface transportation. If other means of transportation is requested the customer is required to pay the premium. This warranty does not apply to damages
resulting from errors in installation on the part of other contractors, nor does it apply to machines which have
been subject to accident, misuse, or abuse. It is understood that Blakeslee’s warranty obligation with respect
to machines located outside of the United States and Canada or located in the state of Alaska is limited to
the furnishing of replacement parts only. In the state of Hawaii, repair labor is provided free of charge; travel
time and expenses paid by the customer. On the island of Oahu, repair labor, travel time and expenses are
provided free of charge. This is the entire and only warranty of Blakeslee. We neither assume nor authorize
anyone else to assume for us any other obligation or liability in connection with Blakeslee Machines.
In no case can this warranty exceed eighteen (18) months from the date of shipment from our plant at Addison, Illinois.
Items NOT Covered Under Warranty:
1. Lighting of Gas Pilots
At the time of installation the gas pilots and burners should
be adjusted. Continued failures of pilot lights would
indicate dirty gas lines, improper original adjustment or
intermittent drafts blowing out the ume.
2. Replacing Fuses or resetting Overloads
Replacing a blown fuse or resetting an open overload
breaker is a very simple procedure and is the owner’s
responsibility. If the machine continues to blow fuses
or open the overload breaker, contact your nearest
authorized Blakeslee Service Center.
3. Adjusting Tank Heats
Heat adjustments are covered in the INSTALLATION &
OPERATION manual and must be adjusted depending
upon desired results.
4. Proper Loading of Dishes
It is important that the machine owner’s personnel
observe the instructions outlined in the INSTALLATION
& OPERATION manual.
5. Cleaning Drain Valves
Foreign articles lodged in the drain valve seat should be
removed as a part of the normal daily cleaning.
6. Cleaning Rinse or Wash Nozzles and Line Strainers
Keeping a dishwasher clean and removing obstructions
from the nozzles and line strainers will be a periodic
function of the machine owner’s personnel. The cleaning
periods will vary depending upon impurities in the water
supply and cleanliness of the washing operation.
7. Final Rinse Water
Most frequent of all complaints in any dishwashing
machine is that of poor nal rinse. It is the responsibility
of the owner to provide 180to 195 degree (plus) water at
15-25 lb. ow pressure through clean unobstructed water
lines. If the machine has a factory equipped nal rinse
water booster, the owner must supply the booster with
a minimum of 140 degree temperature water.
8. Electric Boosters and Garbage Disposals
Although these units may have been purchased with
the machine, they are warranted by the individual
manufacturer. Consult the nearest factory authorized
representatives for these particular items.
