SECTION I OPERATION
1-1 Water

The wash tank is equipped with a float assembly that
turns water off when proper level is achieved.

The water temperature is controlled by a heater and a
thermostat. The thermostat should be set to provide a
wash water temperature between 145° F /60° C and
160° F /71° C.

1-2 Filling Wash Tank

Ensure that the standpipe is in place. Put the toggle
switch in the “AUTO” position. This will also turn the
heater on. To start the conveyor and detergent pump,
put the main switch on the front of the machine in the”
ON” position.

Detergent is fed from the supply container into the
detergent tank in controlled amounts by the detergent
pump. Use detergent at strength of 0.35% or as
recommended by your chemical supplier to
accomplish the necessary cleaning job.

NOTE: Use a heavy-duty NON-CHLORINATED liquid
detergent manufactured specifically for glassware
washing machines.

Your chemical representative will test the solution to
insure the proper strength is recommended.

NOTE: Many of the detergents used in glass and

dishwashers are harmful to the skin in their
concentrated form. To prevent accidental exposure to
this danger, be sure all hoses are secure and clamped
after service to machine.

1-3 Chemical Settings

Approximate chemical settings can be obtained by
counting the revolutions of the injector rotors.

For detergent, one revolution per second equals
approximately .035% concentration.

For sanitizer, one revolution in 5 seconds equals
approximately .035% concentration

For rinse agent, on revolution in 8 seconds is
suggested.

1-4 Detergent Injector Adjustment

1. Install the detergent tank standpipe and switch tank
fill toggle switch to “AUTO” position. The detergent
feeder will now feed detergent into the detergent tank
with water fill.

2. To increase detergent volume, turn the detergent
adjustment screw clockwise.

3. To decrease detergent volume, turn the detergent
adjustment screw counter-clockwise.

1-4 Sanitizer Injector Adjustment

The sanitizer is automatically fed into the line through
the sanitizer injector. Injection is into the final rinse
sprays.

1. When a new sanitizer container is installed, push
the prime button in and hold until sanitizer feed tubes
are full.

2. Start the washer—take a sample from the final rinse
spray tubes.

3. To increase sanitizer volume, turn the detergent
adjustment screw clockwise.

4. To decrease sanitizer volume, turn the detergent
adjustment screw counter-clockwise.

NOTE: If iodophor is being used as a sanitizer, it is not
necessary to use a separate rinse agent. To turn the
rinse agent injector “OFF” in this case, turn the
adjustment screw counter-clockwise until the rotor
stops turning.

NOTE: If chlorine is being used, a separate rinse
agent is required to prevent spotting.

1-5 Rinse Agent Injector Adjustment

1. When a new rinse agent container is installed, push
the prime button in and hold until sanitizer feed tubes
are full.

2. Start the washer—take a sample from the final rinse
spray tubes.

3. To increase rinse agent volume, turn the detergent
adjustment screw clockwise.

4. To decrease rinse agent volume, turn the detergent
adjustment screw counter-clockwise.

NOTE: The above only allows for testing the sanitizer
being fed. Actual sanitizing rinse solution should be
tested by your chemical supplier representative.

NOTE: To meet the requirement of N.S.F. standards,
iodophor in a concentration of 12.5 p.p.m. of chlorine
at 50 p.p.m. must be used in the final rinse.
