Operation

CAUTION

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE WITHOUT WASH TANK BEING
PROPERLY FILLED, AS DRY ROTA TION WILL DAMAGE MOTOR SEALS
AND VOID WARRANTY.

Ensure that all spray arms spin freely and that pump strainer cover and

drain riser pipe are properly installed.

Depress On/Off main switch to ON position. Switch light will indicate power is on.
Close door. Depress and hold Start/Fill switch in FILL position for 50 seconds or until
water can be heard flowing down drain.

If detergent is fed manually, prep full tank of fresh water with 3 oz. of a low suds
detergent, then 1 oz. per each cycle there after. Increase or decrease detergent rate
based on results.

Insert properly pre-scrapped and pre-flushed racked ware.

Close door, depress and hold Start/Fill Switch in START position. Lighted
switch will indicate machine is operating.

Cycle is completed when Start/Fill switch indicator light turns off.

Open door and remove cleaned ware.

Washing operation is completed.

Maintenance

After each washing period, pull out the overflow drain tube and wipe down the inside of
the washing tank with a damp cloth. At the end of the day, remove both spray arms and
check that none of the jets are obstructed. Rinse down the inside of the washing tank
with fresh water and leave the door open over night to dry out the tank.

UNSATISFACTORY WASHING RESULTS

1. If grey hard deposits appear on the inside of the tank, you are using an
unsatisfactory detergent or the wrong dilution.

2. If a fi lm of grease appears inside the wash, it could be caused by:

A. Lack of detergent
B. Insufficient water flow on the rinse cycle
C. Tank water may require changing

3. If the dishes are spotted with water, it may be because of:

A. Insufficient water fl ow on the rinse cycle

B. Clogged nozzles on the rinse spray arms

C. The angle of the nozzles on the rinse spray arms may need adjustment to

ensure that the rinse water is sprayed uniformly throughout the wash tank

4. If spray arms do not rotate, look for clogging in the spray arms.

5. If the wash tank foams excessively, it may be because the wrong detergent has
been used. Excessive rinse aid also causes this problem.

6. If the machine stops during a wash cycle and fails to restart, check that the door is
properly closed.
