RREERREEQQUUIISSIITTEES

Before you install your Glassware Washer, you need to prepare your site for installation. Carefully examine the location where you intend to install your Glassware Washer. You must be certain that the area is level and of solid construction. In addition, a hot water source, a drain, a purified water source (if applicable), and an electrical source must be located near the installation site.

Carefully read this chapter to learn:

• the hot water source requirements for your

installation site.

• the purified water source requirements for your

installation site.

• the electrical supply requirements for your

installation site.

• the drainage requirements for your installation

site.

Product Service 1-800-522-7658

Chapter 2: Prerequisites

Refer to Appendix C: Glassware Washer Specifications for complete Glassware Washer electrical and environmental conditions, specifications and requirements.

Hot Water Requirements

An existing hot water supply may be used as the hot water source for your Glassware Washer. However, the washer requires the inlet water temperature to be greater than 120°F (49°C) to fully activate powdered detergents and raise the glassware temperatures to achieve fast and complete drying. For ultimate washer performance, a hot water inlet temperature setting of 150°F (66°C) is recommended.

Water pressure must be between 20 – 120 psi (138 - 827 kPa) at the washer and provide a minimum of 1.25 gallons (4.7 liters) per minute flow rate.

Pressurization is not required for the purified water source.

A shut-off valve should be installed in the water supply line plumbed to the washer. The hot water inlet valve on the Glassware Washer is equipped with a female 3/8 NPT fitting.

Purified Water Requirements

If you intend to use purified water for the final rinse cycle, a purified water supply is required. The washer can be connected to an in-house, pressurized, purified water tap; a water purification system; or a purified water container.

The purified water system must be provided with supply piping of sufficient size to permit at least 1.25 gallons (4.7 liters) per minute of flow (½" internal diameter (ID) minimum pipe is recommended). The purified water inlet valve on your washer is equipped with a plastic hose barb connection to accommodate ¾" (2 cm) ID flexible plastic or rubber hose. Use a spring or band hose clamp to secure the hose to the hose barb connection. The hose barb connection may be removed from the valve to expose a male ¾" - 11-1/2 NH hose coupling. A rigid plastic, tin-

to the washer fitting.

All connections on the purified water system must be airtight so that the

!!!!

If the purified water is stored in a carboy, at least 5 gallons (18.9 liters) must be available for each wash cycle. If all 5 gallons are not available at the start of a wash cycle, but instead are produced concurrently with the wash cycle, the production rate must permit at least 1.25 gallons (4.7 liters) per minute to be delivered to the washer. In addition, all 5 gallons (18.9 liters) must be made available over a 5-minute period.

washer pump is not allowed to pull air instead of water.

Chapter 2: Prerequisites

Electrical Requirements

If your Glassware Washer is an Undercounter or Freestanding model, it should be hard-wired directly into a junction box using conduit. A 20 Amp circuit breaker or fuse is required for models rated at 115V (60 Hz) or 230V (50/60 Hz).

If your Glassware Washer is a Mobile model, a dedicated electrical outlet is required. A 20 Amp circuit breaker or fuse is required for models rated at 115V (60 Hz) or 230V (50/60 Hz). 115V models are equipped with a 20 Amp NEMA 5-20P plug. 230V models are equipped with a 15 Amp NEMA 6-15P plug. It may be necessary to remove the plug and install a different plug to match the available receptacle.

Drain Requirements

The Glassware Washer drain hose connects to a fitting on the rear side of the pump/motor assembly. The drain hose is installed at the factory prior to shipment. The hose provides a flexible coupling to the building drain piping and can be secured with a spring or band hose clamp. (A band hose clamp is provided with the washer.)

Tubing or pipe, ½" (1.3 cm) ID or larger, should be provided for the building drain. The use of an air gap is strongly recommended to prevent siphoning of wastewater into the washer.

DO NOT REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE DRAIN PLUMBING.

Mobile models drain into a sink through a hose assembly that attaches to the faucet.

Chapter 4: Using Your Washer

Chapter 2: Prerequisites

The detergent dispenser opens during the second wash cycle, except when the Plastic cycle is selected, which has only one wash cycle. If your glassware is heavily soiled, you may want to add detergent to the pre-wash cavity. Refer to the table below to determine which cavities to fill, based on the selected wash choice. You may use either the pre-wash cavity stamped in the washer door or the one on the lid of the detergent cup.

Wash Cycle Fill Pre-wash Cavity Fill Main Cavity

Rinse Only NO NO Plastic NO YES Glass OPTIONAL YES Glass Plus OPTIONAL YES Scientific OPTIONAL YES User 1 OPTIONAL YES User 2 OPTIONAL YES

To achieve the best results with your Glassware Washer, use Labconco’s LabSolutions Detergent.

Store detergent in a cool, dry place. Immediately replace the detergent container lid after dispensing. If lumps develop due to exposure to moisture, discard the detergent according to local regulations.

Do not use combustible solvents in the Glassware Washer. If soiled glassware

!!!!

contains flammable compounds, rinse the glassware thoroughly prior to placing the glassware into the washer. Heaters in the washer are very hot and could cause a fire.

Non-foaming powder or liquid detergent formulated for labware washers, in conjunction with adequate hot water, is vital for obtaining clean glassware. If the water is soft, less detergent may be needed. Too much detergent with softened water may cause etching of the glassware. This appears as a permanent cloudy film on the glassware.

Fill the main detergent cavity three-fourths full if the water hardness grains per gallon (GPG) for your water measures 0 – 4 GPG (soft water). Fill the detergent cavity completely if your water measures 4 GPG or higher (medium to hard water). If you use the pre-wash cavity stamped in the washer door, fill it completely.

Product Service 1-800-522-7658

To open the detergent dispenser, gently

!!!!

slide the white tab sideways. If the tab is pulled upward or perpendicular to the door, it will break.

Filling the Neutralizing Acid Dispenser

If it is necessary to neutralize the alkalinity of the detergent, a mild or weak acid may be placed in the detergent cup neutralizing dispenser from which it will be dispensed during the first rinse. If pure water rinse is selected, the last two rinses will be made with pure water. To avoid dispensing neutralizing acid during a pure rinse, more than two rinses should be selected. The dispenser holds approximately 170 ml and should be checked and replenished as needed. To fill the neutralizing acid dispenser, refer to Figure 4-6 and follow the instructions below.

Chapter 4: Using Your Washer

To fill the neutralizing acid dispenser:

1. Twist and pull up on the cap to remove the round cover

on the neutralizing solution port.

2. Fill the cavity with either 1M citric acid or 10%

phosphoric acid until the level of the liquid rises and is visible in the port.

3. Set the dial to read 4 ml.

4. Replace the cover.
