• Shutdown procedure
• Operation Summary
3.1 Theory of Operation
Dishwashing requires five components to be effective: time, temperature, mechanical
action, chemical action and proper procedure. Time allows everything to work. Temperature
produced by the heat system is required to heat water in order to penetrate and loosen food soils.
Mechanical action produced by the pump system creates water pressure to flush food soils from
wares. Chemical action in the form of detergents break down grease and dissolve food particles.
Proper procedures in the form of prescrapping, prerinsing, and proper loading maximize
dishwasher performance.
The USN-10 series dishwasher consists of a single wash tank. The tank is equipped with its
own spray system and a water holding tank. A recirculating pump draws water from the tank
and directs the water under pressure through the spray system and on to the dishes.
Wash water is heated in the tank by a steam coil or electric tank heater. The final rinse water for
sanitizing is heated in an external steam or electric booster heater.
The final stage of the washing operation occurs during the final rinse cycle. Upper and lower
final rinse spray pipes are located in the dishwasher. Final rinse water, heated to a minimum of
180°F, is forced by water line pressure from the final rinse booster heater. Water sprays from the
upper and lower final rinse piping on the wares to sanitize them. The wares are removed from the
dishwasher and operators stack the wares for the next meal period.
The USN-10 is equipped with several safety features. A door safety switch prevents the unit
from running if a door is open. A float switch located in the tank maintains the water level in the
unit if the water level falls below a preset level. A high limit thermostat is mounted inside of the
tank to protect from overheating.

5.3.16 Fuses and Fuse Block Replacement
Fuse Blocks—120VAC Control Voltage
The two fuse blocks, located on the center row and to the left side
of the control cabinet protect the main control transformer. Each
fuse block holds a fuse. The fuses are marked 1FU and 2FU on
the electrical schematic.
To Replace the fuse:
• Disconnect power to the machine at the main service switch.
• Remove the fuse and replace it.
• Close the fuse block and turn the main power on.
• If the fuse blows again, DO NOT INCREASE THE FUSE SIZE.
• DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE OVERLOAD.
5.3.17 Motor Overload Adjustment and Replacement
Motor overloads are located to the left of the fuse blocks inside the control cabinet. Each motor
has one overload to protect it from line voltage electrical overloads. In addition, an auxiliary set
of switch contacts is built into the overload. The switch contacts disconnect 120VAC power to the
motor contactor coils in the event of an overload condition. Refer to Fig. X. If the switch lever is
off with the “0” showing then the overload has tripped on an overload.
To Reset the Motor Overload:
• Flip the starter switch to the On position.
• Run the dishwasher and test the AMP
draw of the motor in question. If the motor
checks okay then there may be a wiring
problem or the overload may be defective.
To Replace a Motor Overload:
• Disconnect the wires to the overload.
• Release the mounting catch on the front
side of the overload, push forward and lift out.
• Snap the new overload into place and
reconnect the wires.
To adjust the overload setting:
The screwdriver in Fig. 2 is positioned
to adjust the motor overload AMP setting.
• Read the FLA motor amps that applies for the
machine voltage on the Motor Nameplate.
• Turn the setting to match nameplate FLA.
