Ultra Wash Hi/Lo

Dishwashing Machine

The Hi/Lo was designed especially for the chemical
industry. This new concept in dishwashing gives you total
flexibility for your customer’s needs at an extremely
affordable price. The Hi/Lo comes self-contained as a
Straight-Through or Corner operation. It is also easily
converted from a High Temp to a Low Temp machine.
The 60-second wash cycle allows this machine to clean
wares in foodservice operations of up to 250 seats
quickly and economically.

OPERATION: The distinctive wash tank allows
the machine to utilize all the fresh water from the
rinse which helps maintain the water temperature
and keeps the wash water fresh. This concept
allows Low Temp cleaning principles to be combined
with High Temp drying ability, regardless of whether
you sanitize with hot water or chlorine. The wash
tank is heated with a 3000 watt low water float
controlled element with an adjustable thermostat.
The unique tank design keeps the small tank of
water hot enough to maintain proper temperature
throughout the wash cycle and economical enough
to operate at an affordable cost.

The Hi/Lo comes standard with probeless chemical
controls, but can be easily converted to probe or dry
detergent. This unique machine also comes with top
mounted control gauges and a complete set of
chemical pumps already installed. This is the first
High Temp machine to be totally self-contained, and
running extra plumbing and electrical lines is not
required.

“HIGH-TEMP” PERFORMANCE

The specially designed 5-gallon tank is split
into two halves with a stainless steel di­vider. Hot water is contained by putting a
removable solid cover over the front of the
wash tank where the heater and skimmer
are located.

Top View Without Solid Pan Cover

When the rinse
is activated, the
fresh water
flows into the
rear of the tank
through the
perforated
removable strainer. This process forces the
soiled water under the divider and over the
drain skimmer, saving clean, hot water to
wash the next load. This keeps the water
constantly recycling.

Thermometer

By placing the thermometer at the rear of
the divider, proper operating temperatures
can be maintained regardless of time
between cycles. Traditional high temp
units skim the hot water from the top of the
whole tank, allowing the fresh, hot water
to go right down the drain. This not only
causes your heater to work harder, but the
wash water gets increasingly soiled.

Visual water levels can be conveniently
verified with the Water Level Indicator
which is located on the front of the ma­chine.

“LOW-TEMP” PERFORMANCE

To convert the Hi/Lo to Low Temp opera­tion, simply flip the selector switch on the
front of the machine to Low Temp setting.
This will activate the built-in sanitizer
pump. Adjust the thermostat of the wash
to 130˚ and it is ready to operate in the
Low Temp mode. A 60-second wash cycle
is still maintained on Low Temp operation
with a variable fresh water rinse cycle.
With chemical sanitizing, energy savings
are substantial. Stainless steel fittings are
installed throughout the
machine, and sanitizer agents or chlorine
do not affect the plumbing.

RINSE OPERATION

The Hi/Lo also has an adjustable rinse cycle. The rinse can be
adjusted from 11 to 15 seconds. This margin helps to
conserve water in strong pressure areas and allows extended
rinse time in low pressure areas.

The rinse arms were designed for simplicity, using stationary
upper cone jets that cover the complete surface of the tray.
Removal requires a 1/4” turn to clean and/or reassemble.
The lower arm is a high speed sprinkler that rotates on a
heavy duty ball bearing support with straight line directional
flow jets for increased rinse water coverage.

SERVICE

The Hi/Lo is easily serviced and is synonymous with all
other Knight Dishmachines. Conversion from three door to
straight through or corner can be accomplished in less than
15 minutes by simply removing three bolts on each door,
and utilizing the appropriate openings. Door openings are
17 3/8” and accommodate standard racks.

Removable Electrical Service Panels and Modular Plug-In
Controls make quick service and replacements a key
advantage. The entire control package can be replaced in
less than 30 seconds.

No other machine on the market today offers all of these
options in one package - at such an affordable price!
Fabricated from heavy duty #304 stainless steel, this
machine is built to insure sparkling results and outstanding
longevity. Knight Dishwashing Machines are designed with
service in mind. Recirculating pump, electrical components,
drain and spray assemblies - all can easily be serviced

in a very short period of time.

HOW IT WORKS

The Hi/Lo is a three door convertible that works as a high or low temp dishmachine in a corner or straight through application. In either
operating mode, the Hi/Lo gives a 45 second wash and an adjustable 11 to 15 second fresh water rinse. The specially designed five gallon
wash tank is heated with a powerful 3000 watt thermostatically controlled element. For High Temp, adjust the thermostat to 160˚ F and
supply 180˚ F fresh water rinse. For Low Temp, adjust the thermostat to 130˚ F and 130˚ F fresh water rinse. Select High or Low on the
selector switch in front of the machine and you are ready to wash. All the chemical pumps and controls are included, so conversion and
installation is simple, fast and field convertible with no extra parts or special kits required.
