Introduction
This manual describes the operational features of the GW24 model glasswasher. Please review this information before attempting installation and operation. Long term, troublefree operation will follow if good housekeeping and maintenance procedures are followed. Thank you for selecting Glastender, Inc. products.
What is a Glasswasher?
Glastender, Inc. invented the world’s first automatic rotary glasswasher in 1969. Today, Glastender glasswashers have been installed around the world. But what is a glasswasher? It is simply a piece of machinery that washes glassware, which eliminates the need for human labor and the conventional three-compartment sink. The glasswasher is, in effect, a mechanized three-compartment sink. It “washes”, “rinses”, and “sanitizes” glassware.

Note the Simplicity: |

Hot water and a preset portion of detergent join in the tank. During operation, hot soapy water is |
|
pumped in a forceful, but gentle, spray pattern across the moving glassware. When the wash cycle |
|
is complete, all water is drained. While the drain is still open, clean water pre-rinses the holding |
|
tank to prepare for the rinse and sanitize cycle. |

Fresh water and a preset portion of sanitizer and rinse aid join in the tank. During operation, rinse |

water is pumped in a forceful, but gentle, spray pattern across the moving glassware. At the end |
|
of the cycle, all water is drained so the next load can begin with fresh, clean water. |
