Operating Instructions
Salad and Vegetable Drier Service and Installation Manual
1. Position the Salad Ace over the floor drain or place a (2) two
gallon capacity container under the drain tube.
2. Secure machine into position by depressing the brake pedal
on each caster.
3. Remove the double lid slowly. DO NOT PULL OR FORCE
LID OFF IN A QUICK MOTION. Suspend the lid from the top
edge of the stainless steel tank using the bracket provided
on the lid.
4. Remove the perforated inner liner and place in sink.
5. TO PREPARE PRODUCTS: Remove the center core from
the lettuce heads; break apart, separating leaves or cut into
desired size. Fill liner with no more than 18 heads.
Do not overload inner liner. Weight in excess of 20
lbs. will cause lid and motor failure.
6. Run cold water into the sink. Turn water off when the product
level rises within three (3) inches of liner top edge. Gently stir
water through product to remove the dirt. Allow the produce
to soak 10 minutes.
7. Drain the water from the sink. Allow the liner to remain in the
sink for 30 seconds to drain out the excess water.
8. Remove the liner from the sink and place into the “Salad
Ace”. Make sure the octagon shaped recess in the liner bottom engages with the metal octagon drive casting in the tank
bottom.
9. Place the lid on the machine, making sure the inner lid seats
on the top of the inner liner.
10. Turn the machine “ON” by rotating the bottom mounted timer
clockwise. Choosing a one-to-four minute cycle. Generally, a
two-minute cycle is sufficient to drain a full load. Machine will
turn off automatically.
11. When the time cycle has ended, wait 10 seconds for inner
liner to stop rotating before removing the lid. Remove inner
liner from the machine.
