Electrical Connections
WARNING: Electrocution may occur when working on ener-
gized circuits. Disconnect power at the main breaker or service
disconnect switch, then lock out and tag it to indicate that work
is being performed on the circuit.
CAUTION: Permanent damage to the dishwasher may occur
if it is improperly connected to the main electrical supply.
Never install a power cord and plug to the dishwasher or
connect the dishwasher to a standard or GFI electrical outlet
GFI
or GFI electrical breaker. The dishwasher must be hard-wired
to a dedicated appropriately sized circuit breaker or service
disconnect switch.
1.Check the electrical specications on the machine data plate then remove the lower
front panel to access the power input terminal block on the base of the machine.
2.Do not use a power cord and plug or connect to a standard or Ground Fault Interrupter
(GFI), electrical outlet or a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) breaker. The dishwasher must

Water Connections
NOTE:
Plumbing connections must comply with national or local plumbing and sanitary codes.
Make sure that the exible water supply and drain hoses are not kinked.
1.All models have a 6 ft. exible hot water ll hose with a 3/4" GHT connector.
2.A 1/2" or larger main incoming supply line should be installed to the dishwasher.
3.A 1/2" or larger shut-off valve should be installed in the water supply line as close to the
dishwasher as possible for service.
4.The hot water supply must provide a minimum of 140°F/60°C, measured at the dishwasher for
the 40°F/ 22°C rise booster.
5.For the 70°F/39°C rise booster the hot water supply must provide a minimum of 110°F/43°C
measured at the dishwasher.
6.A water hardness of 3 grains/U.S. gal [51.3 mg/L] or less is recommended.
! ATTENTION !
Do not connect the drain hose to a disposer. The dishwasher will not drain correctly.
Drain Connections
1.The dishwasher has a 6ft. 3/4" I.D. drain hose. The maximum drain height
connection must not exceed 3 ft. [9 m].
The recommended drain height is 18" [.4 m] or less above the floor.
2.The drain hose is secured to the rear of the machine by a clamp to maintain a
goose-neck bend in the drain hose.
3.A 3/4" hose barb fitting is strapped to the drain hose to use in connecting the
drain hose to building drain line.
The service part number for the
hose barb is P/N 0512321.
4.Install the drain hose to a "WYE" drain tting. Connection to a "TEE" tting will
prevent the dishwasher from draining completely.
5.The maximum drain ow is 8 U.S. gpm/7 Imp. gpm/30 L.P.M.
6.Make sure the drain hose does not kink. Kinks will prevent the dishwasher
from draining completely, and the dishwasher will overow out the front door.

Adjusting the Chemical Dispenser Pumps
The amount of detergent and rinse-aid that are dispensed during the dishwasher cycle are
controlled by adjustable cams on the timer assembly. Variables such as the type of chemicals
used and the hardness of the water supply often require that the timer cam settings must be
changed. It is recommended that the chemical supplier make these adjustments.
(Refer to the illustration below).
NOTE:
Only the Detergent and the Rinse-aid cams are adjustable. Do not attempt to adjust any other timer cam.
To adjust the chemical dispensing pump timer cams:
1. Remove the lower-front access panel. The timer assembly is located on the right-side of the
electrical component panel.
2. Make sure the dishwasher power is OFF.
3. The detergent timer cam has 2 halves. Hold the stationary right-half of the cam and turn the
left-half of the cam counter-clockwise to increase the amount of detergent that is dispensed.
Turn the left-half clockwise to decrease the detergent dispensed.
4. The rinse-aid timer cam has 2 halves. Hold the stationary left-half of the cam and turn the right-half
of the cam counter-clockwise to decrease the amount of rinse-aid that is dispensed.
Turn the right-half clockwise to increase the amount of rinse-aid dispensed.

8. At the beginning of the day, run 2 empty cycles before checking the final rinse
operating temperature. The first cycle will take longer to reach the proper temperature.
If the wash temperature is low for an extended period of time, drain the machine
and rell with fresh water. Run two empty cycles and then check that the wash tank
temperature gauge indicates 150°F/66°C.
! A TTENTION !
9. Load soiled wares into the dish rack. Place plates, glasses, cups and bowls in a peg rack.

automatically when the dishwasher door is closed fully.
13. The nal rinse cycle begins at the end of the wash cycle and runs for approximately 15 seconds Check the
RINSE temperature gauge during the nal rinse and make sure that it indicates a minimum of 180ºF/82ºC.
The acceptable range of operation is180-195ºF/82-91ºC.

(continued)
Safe-T-Temp Mode
The nal rinse water temperature must be a minimum of 180ºF/82ºC during the final rinse cycle to ensure that all
wares are sanitized. If for any reason, the hot water temperature in the booster tank cannot provide this temperature,
the dishwasher will enter a Safe-T-Temp Mode of operation and extend the cycle time.
The Safe-T-Temp changes the Normal Operation Mode as described below:
1. The Safe-T-Temp constantly monitors the water temperature inside nal rinse booster.
2. If the temperature inside the booster heater falls below 180ºF/82ºC then the Safe-T-Temp
will extend the wash cycle time until the booster heater water temperature reaches the proper
temperature.
3. The in-cycle light will remain illuminated during the Safe-T-Temp Mode.
4. The RINSE water temperature gauge must be monitored to ensure that a minimum of
180ºF/82ºC is maintained during the rinse cycle.
5. The temperature range for the final rinse water is180-195ºF/82-91ºC.
6. An extraordinarily long wash cycle may indicate a low incoming water temperature or a
problem with the booster heater operation.
DO NOT REMOVE WARES UNTIL THE FINAL RINSE CYCLE HAS
SANITIZED THE WARES AND THE GREEN CYCLE LIGHT GOES OUT.
Extended Wash Mode
The Extended Wash Mode is used to wash heavily soiled items such as pots, pans and other wares that
require more washing time than the standard 100-second Normal Wash Mode.
The dishwasher will remain in the Extended Wash Mode until the operator exits the mode.
1. Load a dish rack into the dishwasher, close the door.
2. Press and hold the START button for 1-second then release.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Deliming
Minerals accumulate on the interior surfaces of the dishwasher. The deposits have a white haze
and, in cases of heavy accumulation, may appear as a granular solid. The generic name for mineral
deposits is lime. The removal of lime deposits is called Deliming. Your dishwasher should be delimed regularly; how often will depend on the mineral content of your water.
Inspect your machine interior for lime deposits. If deliming is required, a Deliming agent should be
used for best results in accordance with the chemical supplier's instructions.
DANGER:
Death or serious injury may result when Deliming solution is mixed with sodium hypochlorite
(chlorine bleach) sanitizing agent. Mixing may cause hazardous gases to form.
Deliming solution and other acids must never be mixed with chlorine, iodine, bromine, or uorine.
CAUTION:
Skin contact with Deliming solutions can cause severe irritation and possible chemical burns.
Always wear protective clothing and goggles when handling chemicals.
NOTE:
Contact your chemical supplier for specic safety procedures and instructions for the use of
the Deliming solution supplied for the dishwasher.
Deliming solution or other chemicals are not supplied by the dishwasher manufacturer.
