CONNECTING YOUR NEW X-35C
This dishwasher must be installed on a level, rigid, nonflammable surface. To ensure that the machine is level, install the feet (shipped in the wash tank of the machine) and adjust them accordingly. Be sure to provide adequate space for the water, drain and electrical connections.
ELECTRICAL
A 115 volt, 60 Hz, Single Phase circuit is required for this unit. This unit will draw 13 amperes on a 115 volt circuit.
The top cover must be removed for the electrical hook-up. The electrical connection will be made directly on the power switch. Replace the top cover once the connection is completed.
WATER SUPPLY
The water connection can be made directly on the shut-off valve on top of the unit. It will require a 1/2 NPT male fitting. The flowing water pressure cannot be less than 18 psi or exceed 35 psi. If the water pressure exceeds the prescribed amount, you will get premature failure and thus may void the warranty. The timer will need to adjusted to compensate for the water pressure. Incoming water temperature must be 140º F +/- 5º( 60º C). Make sure that the water is free from calcium and hard water deposits. For these situations, a water softener system is highly recommended. Build-up of calcium and lime deposits in the washer may occur and servicing will be required on a more frequent basis which will not be covered by the warranty.
120 volts
DRAIN
This dishwasher has a gravity drain. A 2" OD connection should be made under the dishwasher. Please consult your local codes for this type of installation. It is important not to reduce the size of the pipe.
IMPORTANT NOTE Reasonable access to and around the machine for service must be provided.

Disconnecting of hard plumbing or removal of counter tops or cabinets, etc., for servicing is not covered by warranty.
CHEMICAL INSTALLATION
All the chemical pumps, located on the control box at the top, are activated by a
timer. Priming switch above will help draw the product in each corresponding lines. The BLEU tubing is for the rinse-aid, or drying agent. The RED tubing is for the detergent, and the CLEAR tubing is for the sanitizing solution.
Detergent: High sequestrant alkaline solution 200 ppm Sanitizer: Chlorine solution (min. 120F, 49C) min: 50 ppm (as NaOCl) Iodine Solution (min. 75F, 24C) min: 12.5 ppm­max: 25 ppm Quaternary ammonium solution (min. 75F, 24C)min: 150 ppm - max:400 ppm Rinse-Aid: Low foam rinse-aid, surfactant isopropanol 50 ppm
See local health code for appropriate quantities and usage. Contact your chemical representatives for calibration and supply.
WARNING
Whenever manipulating chemicals, use appropriate protection (eyes and hands) as these chemicals are corrosive.

ADJUSTING THE TIMER
The timer is the brain of the dishwasher. It controls all the major components, allowing them to perform their necessary function at given times during the length of the wash cycle. The timer is located at the top, in the control box, on the right. To get access to the timer, you will need to unscrew to top cover, and remove it. Make sure the power is off at the breaker before removing the top cover.
The timer is installed on a hinged plate, allowing it to be move up for better access. A small red, curved key can be found attached to the timer. Insert the key as shown in the picture, and engage the tooth in the groove of the wheel. Hold it down and turn the dial in the direction of the arrow. It is very important to turn the dial in the direction of the arrow. If you try to turn it the other way, you will feel some resistence, and if you force it will break the internal mechanism.
The numbers on the dial are degrees (0-360). Using the plastic arrow on the dial, advance the wheel to the desired place.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Dishes are expensive. An average plate can
cost over $5.00. Be very careful when preparing and handling dishes.
A. Scrapping. Scrapping operations are necessary to remove, mechanically or by hand, the remaining food from dishes prior to the dishwashing operation. The purpose of scrapping is to keep excessive garbage from going into the dishwashing machine. Hand scrapping is done by hand or with a rubber spatula. The use of a pre-rinse hose for wet scrapping of dishes before they go into the machine is ideal for removing small particles of soil not removed by the hand scrapping operation. It also saves labor because less time will be required in the full scrapping operation if the water scrapping method is used, plus a better job can be assured using this method. Water scrapping is a must, but if it is not available, a rubber spatula or glove can be provided for you to do a thorough job of hand scrapping the dishes.
B. Racking Dishes. Properly placing the dishes in the rack before washing is one of the most important jobs the operator must perform. Every surface of a soiled dish must be reached by the machine sprays to provide sufficient scrubbing action in the time that the dish is being sprayed by detergent solution. Piling dishes won't save you time. Many of the dishes will not be cleaned during the wash cycle and will require sorting and washing a second time. Be a PRO do it right the first time. Be sure to
10
Page 10
rack all the sized plates. If you sort and rack properly, it will be easier and save you time.
Note in the illustration that the plates are racked with overlapping and that the sprays from the top spray arm will strike the food contact surfaces of the dishes (the face of the dishes).
Racking Glasses. Glasses, cups, bowls and other deep dishes must be racked faced down so as not to carry out wash waster and so that the sprays can work on the internal surfaces. Rack glasses and cups in a properly sized compartmentalized glass rack. Allow to air dry. Glass washing is very important. A customer may gain his first impression of an establishment when he is served his glass of water. They should be placed in the racks upside down in each compartment. The rinse additive is injected into the rinse water to prevent spotting and speed the drying process. (Note: Your chemical representative can help you select the proper glass rack for your glasses.)
Racking Flatware. Flatware may be washed in many ways. It is recommended that all flatware be pre­soaked in a deep pan, generally a bus pan, using a pre-soak detergent. This will prevent adhering of soil on flatware and reduce tarnishing. A pre-soak detergent is especially useful for the removal of protein oil such as egg, syrup. It is recommended that 30 minutes be allotted for pre-soaking, if possible. After pre-soaking, the flatware is placed in a wash basket with handles down to prevent them from “nesting” which provides maximum exposure to the wash process.

C. Stacking and Storage. The stacking and storage of dishes that are being washed and sanitized is very important. A dish may be perfectly washed but at risk of being contaminated from the handling after washing. Avoid storing dishes where they may be soiled. Minimize handling the dishes with the hand on the food contact surfaces (towel drying is an incorrect procedure). Do not stack plates and dishes higher than 12 inches; their combined weight can destroy the porcelain surface on the bottom plates.
D. Cleaning the Jet-Tech Dishwasher. Certain times of the day should be reserved to clean the dishwashing machine. Follow the cleaning and inspection procedures listed below.
Cleaning the Drain Screen Remove the drain screen and thoroughly clean all foreign material from the screen. Do not bang the screen on the table to jar food loose. Use the faucet or pre-rinse hose. Check the seat casting where the drain stopper sets to make sure no foreign material is present. Re-install drain screen and determine that it is the proper position.
Cleaning the Wash Arms - Inspect the upper and lower spray arms to insure that they are not clogged with food scraps. Otherwise, full and uniform spray pressures will not be delivered to the soiled dishes.
If there is any question as to the spray arm nozzles being clear of food scraps, they should be removed and cleaned. To remove the arm, loosen nut and pull arm out of spray base. The arm can be checked for locked jets by running water into the hug and observing that all jets are flowing. Clogged jets can be cleared with a toothpick or small wire and the entire arm can be
12
Page 12
flushed out by removing the end plugs. Remember to replace the end plugs after cleaning the arm.
After the arm has been thoroughly cleaned, re-install and check that arm is fully inserted in the bearing support. Hand tighten thumb screws. Too-tight screws can break off in spray base.
E. Empty the Scrap Tray. Remove the scrap tray drawer and thoroughly rinse out. Change the tray after each meal or else once an hour, if it's very busy.
F. Check Operation. Operate the machine and watch detergent sanitizer, and rinse additive delivery tubes where they extend into the open sump on the machine. Watch to insure that the chemicals are delivered during the cycle. Remember: red tube detergent; blue tube rinse additive; and clear/white tube sanitizer. Check temperature at the end of the cycle for 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
G. Cleanup. Wipe down the machine and check the chemical level in the containers. Also inspect the machine for leaks or other items that night cause trouble during a rush period. You are now ready to wash dishes.
H. Remember: The chemical containers should be saved for pickup by the serviceman during his regular call. Do not throw them in the trash bin.
IMPORTANT
Always drain the dishwasher at night. The chlorine in the water will damage the wash tank after awhile.

TROUBLE SHOOTING THE JET-TECH DISHWASHER
A. Won't Start
1. Check the master switch on the back of control panel to make sure that it is “on”.
2. Check circuit breaker which services the dishwasher. Make sure it is “on”.
3. Only after checking steps 1 and 2, call the Jet-Tech service people.
B. Out of Chemicals
1. Check back-up supply of chemicals. REMEMBER: Red product label to red tube, blue product label to blue tube, and clear/white product label to clear/white tube. Note that sometime extra product is left in the storage area at the direction of the restaurant manager.
C. Dishes/Glasses are Not Clean
1. Before you call the Jet-Tech service people, clear your temperature gauge on the machine. Check to be sure that you have at least 120 degrees F water. The Jet-Tech dishwasher must have hot water delivered from the primary heater at 120 140 degrees F. If temperature is okay, then proceed to step 2.
2. Check your water softener for salt or obvious malfunction. Your service agreement from Jet-Tech calls for hot/soft water, If the water softener appears okay, there is one final check before you call the Jet-Tech service people. 3. Check the screen and wash arm tips. If they are clear, call us, the Jet-Tech service people.
D. Machine Won't Hold Water
1. Check under the drain ball for a knife, spoon, fork, or foreign material, then remove.
E. Water Running on the Floor
1. If it is running from the scrap accumulator (The tray at base of the dishwasher) don't call us! Call your plumber the drain is clogged.
F. Water won't Drain from the Machine
1. Check the drain sump for obvious clogging. If it appears clear, call the Jet-Tech service people. Lift the drain ball manually, the water should drain in 6 seconds or less.
G. Water Coming Out of the Door (going all over)
1. Someone didn't replace the end plugs on the wash arm or didn't tighten them. 2. Check inside the scrap accumulator drawer. If the end plug came off during operation, it will be inside the scrap tray next to the machine. Simply replace it. If it is lost, call us the Jet-Tech people.
14
Page 14
H. Machine Won't Shut Off
1. You can turn off the machine in an emergency by turning off the master switch located at the back of the control box.
I. Machine Won't Fill
1. Check valve at the top, make sure handle is turned on. If it is, call us the Jet-Tech service people.
J. Spray Arms Won't Spin
1. Check the bearings for obstructions. They are easily clogged by grit, string from tea bags, or fiber from napkins or straw wrappers.
K. Dishes Are Coming Out Soapy
1. Make sure water temperature is above 120 degrees F; hot water disperses suds.
2. Determine that machine is draining properly so that no soapy water carries into the rinse.
3. Make sure that no other source of detergent is finding its' way into the rinse cycle.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Locate and clearly identify the water shut-off valve that supplies the dishwasher and the fuse box or breaker switches.
Only qualified and/or licensed technicians can repair this piece of equipment. Removing panels will expose wires and live current. The breaker switch should be switched off or fuses removed before removing the panels. The water supply must also be turned off.
