2.1. Introduction to the EST-FL Front Loader
The EST-FL low temperature Front Loader Dishmachine is safe, economical and easy to operate with its “Auto Start/Stop”, and it uses only 1.09 gallons of water per cycle. The EST-FL Front Loader Dishmachines top mounted controls houses built-in chemical pumps and a deliming system that assures proper chemical usage. Its integrated scrap tray prevents food soil from entering the drain system. The EST-FL can be run at a rate of 40 racks/160 covers per hour and its all stainless steel construction assures longevity.
The EST-FL Front Loader; features an optional fully intergraded hot-water assurance storage tank, to insure consistent water temperature is always being supplied to the dishmachine. The attributes of this
dishmachine are always taken into consideration by our well-trained sales representatives prior to the order being placed.
This manual is structured to provide a complete reference guide to the EST-FL Front Loader Dishmachine. It is presented in a manner that all levels of users will be able to comprehend and use as an effective tool in supporting the operation and maintenance of the dishmachine. The function of the dishmachine itself is mostly automatic and takes little training to put into operation. The Operation section also includes diagnostic considerations (troubleshooting) for the dishmachine when problems occur.
The first section explains how the dishmachine is packaged and what to look for when receiving the machine. After unpacking the dishmachine, this manual explains how to install and set up the dishmachine for use. Requirements are given for plumbing, wiring, and space considerations.
Guidance is also given for installation to ensure that the machine will be able to run at optimum efficiency. The Operation section of the manual may be used for instruction and procedures when required. Parts Manual and Electrical Diagramhave the parts lists with exploded view drawings and the wiring diagram for the dishmachine.
CMA Dishmachines warrants the workmanship of the dishmachine. We are committed to providing the best dishmachines and customer service in the warewashing industry and your feedback is welcome.
DISCLAIMERS CMA Dishmachines expressly disclaims any and all warranties, express or implied, relating to the installation of any and all CMA equipment that is installed by chemical dealers, contracted servicers or third party servicers to CMA equipment. If the installation instructions are not followed exactly (to the letter), or, if any person or company conducting the installation of the CMA equipment, revise the installation procedures or alter the instructions in any manner, the CMA warranty becomes void. If, due to the improper installation of CMA equipment, this equipment ceases to operate properly or affects other parts of the CMA dishwashing equipment, in that the other parts become defective, the CMA warranty becomes void. CMA will not be liable or responsible or warrant CMA equipment, due to improper installation of any CMA model dishwasher.
CMA Dishmachines does not endorse “Tankless On-Demand” water heaters for use on CMA Dishmachine products. On most applications, the volume of hot water required for commercial dishmachines exceeds the capacity of these types of heating sources. You will find that most, if not all, commercial dishmachines have been programmed with auto-filling features that require quick filling, with a designated limited time.
CMA Dishmachines does endorse, and highly recommends, the standard “tank” style hot-water heaters, sized properly to handle each particular facility with their water heating requirements. A “tank” style water heater stores and supplies a large capacity of preheated water before providing hot water to the dishmachine. To meet required health codes, there must be a reliable and consistent flow of adequate hot water supplied to the dishmachine. If the facilities’ “tank” style water heater is marginal in size, the option on-board hot-water assurance storage tank can be used, which can be fully intergraded into the footprint of the dishwasher

2.2. Receiving and Installation
The dishmachine is shipped from the factory in a corrugated box on a wooden pallet. The installation guidelines give a systematic procedure for setting up the machine.
Start by removing the dishmachine from the box, and remove all the packaging materials. Unwrap the machine, and check for the following components:
Inside the wash tank is a plastic bag with one control box key and a cam timer
wrench.
Tube stiffeners must be used to prevent the feed tubes from curling inside the
chemical pail and sucking air. These are located on the outside of the machine with the chemical tubing already installed into the stiffeners. The ends of the chemical tubing have been flared so that the tubing will not pull out of the stiffener. Red is for
Prior to installation make sure the electrical supply is compatible with the specifications on the machines data plate.
The EST-FL Dishmachine must be hard wired directly to a dedicated 115 VAC, 60Hz circuit equipped with proper circuit protection. The main power switch is at the top-right side of the control box.
detergent, white for sanitizer, and blue for rinse aid.
2.2.1. Electrical*
WARNING: Electrical and grounding connections must comply with the applicable portions of the
National Electrical Code and/or other local electrical codes. Note: For supply connections, use copper wire only rated at 90 degree C minimum.
2.2.2. Plumbing*
The water supply connection is made with a ½” hot water line to the water supply inlet on the top of the dishmachine. The water supplied to the machine is recommended to be 140° F. The time necessary to deliver water to the machine is controlled by the number four cam.

Notice to Plumber: The plumber connecting this machine is responsible for making certain that the water lines are THOROUGHLY FLUSHED OUT BEFORE connecting to the dishmachine
CMA recommends utilizing a water softening system to maintain water hardness measurements of 3.5 gpg (grains per gallon) or less. This will assure maximum results and optimum operation of the dishmachine.
Note: high iron levels in the water supply can cause staining and may require an iron filter. High chlorine levels in the water supply can cause pitting and may require a chloride removal system.
If an inspection of the dishwasher or booster heater reveals lime buildup after the equipment has been in service, water treatment is recommended. If water softener is already in place, ensure there is a sufficient level of salt.
2.2.3. Connecting the Scrap Accumulator and Drain
The scrap accumulator is designed to perform two basic functions:
1. It allows a method to discharge all the heavy solids out of the machine with each wash cycle.
2. It provides accumulation capacity to allow draining the contents of one cycle regardless of the discharge rate of the existing drain.
The drainpipe is connected to the scrap accumulator drain using a 2” no-hub connector as shown in Figure 2.2.3 below.
The de-liming agents used to de-scale a commercial dishwasher, are highly caustic and de-liming
should be done by a qualified chemical specialist.

3. Operation
3.1. Initial Setup
The CMA EST-FL Front Loader is equipped with switches to prime the peristaltic pumps at anytime when the master power switch on the back of the control box is "ON".
Following completion of the installation, always fill the machine with water before starting the machine.
1. With the power switch “ON” press and hold the Fill switch until the water overflows into the wash scrap accumulator.
2. Check the chemical lines to the chemical containers.
a. Red: Detergent line. b. Blue: Rinse Aid line. c. Clear/White: Sanitizer line.
3. Individually activating the prime switches for the three chemical pumps until each product is discharging into the dishwasher.
(The chemicals must be programmed by a qualified chemical specialist)
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.
4. To start the dishmachine, close the door press and hold the start-switch for 2 to 3 seconds or until the cycle begins. The machine will run through its cycle.
5. Operate the machine one cycle and watch to ensure that the chemicals are delivered and stop during the cycle. Remember: red tube - detergent: blue tube – rinse aid: and clear/white tube - sanitizer. Check temperature at the end of the cycle for 140F, 60C.
The amount of product delivered by each cam is controlled by adjusting the cam’s
opening. When the micro switch rides down into the cam the peristaltic pump motor begins to rotate. It will continue to rotate until it rides up out of the groove. Therefore, to extend the amount of product delivered to the machine, open the grove; to reduce the amount of product delivered to the machine, close the groove. The cams are slip fit and a cam adjustment wrench is provided.
CAUTION: The motors on the new peristaltic pumps may be stalled by excessive tightening of the cover plate screws. If a peristaltic pump does not turn when the micro switch is activated, loosen the screws on the cover plate.
Technical personnel are available during normal business hours at CMA Headquarters should you, as an installer, have any questions please call CMA Tech Support at: 800-854-6417 for assistance.

2. Cam switch 8 controls the pump motor. The pump motor comes ON at the beginning of the operational cycle and continues to run until the end of the drain function (controlled by cam switch 3), at which time it turns off for about eight seconds allowing time for the machine to refill enough to avoid running the pump dry before the pump motor restarts and runs to the completion of the operational cycle.
The pump motor runs the pump for the 45-second wash cycle, then pumps the water out through the drain, turns off for about 8 seconds (allowing the machine to refill with clean rinse water) and then runs the pump for the 30-second rinse cycle.
3. Cam switch 3 controls the drain function. At the end of the 45-second wash cycle, cam switch 3 energizes the drain solenoid allowing the wash water out of the machine. Cam switch 3 also increments the rack counter by one each cycle.
4. Cam switch 4 controls the water solenoid valve on the water supply to flush and fill the machine. At the end of the wash cycle the drain solenoid valve is open and drain begins, the pump motor continues to run. About the middle of the drain cycle, Cam 4 opens the fill solenoid valve and the flush function begins flushing residual detergent. At the end of drain cycle, drain solenoid valve closes and the pump motor is stopped the machine begins to fill for the rinse cycle. Once the machine has refilled sufficiently, the pump motor restarts carrying out the rinse portion of the cycle as the filling of the wash tank completes. This can be adjusted as necessary for water pressure situation.
5. Cam switch 5 controls the detergent pump and turns ON about 5 seconds after the operational cycle is started and runs for a few seconds to provide sufficient detergent for the wash cycle. This cam can be adjusted as necessary for proper detergent dosage.
6. Cam switches 6 and 7 control the sanitizer and rinse pumps respectively. They turn ON at the beginning of the rinse cycle and run for a few seconds to provide sufficient sanitizer and rinse aid for the rinse cycle. These cams can be adjusted as necessary for proper chemical dosage.
7. At the end of the cycle cam switches 1 and 2 open (de-energize) stopping the cycle. The Start/Stop relay is held energized by its normally open contact until the doors are opened. Opening the doors de-energizes the Start/Stop Relay, which will then cause a new cycle to start when the doors are once again closed.
Note: Press and holding the START switch on for a couple of seconds will start a cycle. The Water and Chemicals to the dishmachine must be programmed by a qualified
chemical specialist. Contact your local Chemical Supplier or Equipment Dealer for assistance.

3.3. (Optional) Hot-Water Assurance Storage Tank
The Optional Fully Integrated Hot-Water Assurance Storage Tank will not require its’ own power supply. The unit has been designed with a 115 volt, 1500 watt element which will only be active when the dishwasher is not in operation.
This will assure consistent and continuous water temperature is being supplied to the dishmachine at all times. This unit can be ordered to be fully installed, from the factory, if necessary it can be field installed by a qualified field service technician.
Note: The storage-Tank is shipped on the dishmachine empty to prevent damage from freezing. When the dishmachine is powered up for the first time, the storage tank must be filled with water by pressing and holding fill switch; this will prevent heating element from being damaged.
Note: Plumbing connections must be made by a qualified service company who will comply with all available
Federal, State, and Local Health, Plumbing and Safety codes.
