Throughout this manual potentially hazardous conditions are identified using the following words and symbols.

It is important that you understand the warnings listed throughout this manual before you operate the Glassware Washer.

Product Service 1-800-522-7658

HHAAPPTTEERR

RREERREEQQUUIISSIITTEES

Before you install the Glassware Washer, prepare your site for installation. Carefully examine the location where you intend to install the 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. A cold water source is required when the optional Cool Drain Water Kit is installed.

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. Labconco recommends the inlet water temperature to be greater than 120°F (49°C) to fully activate powdered detergents and raise the glassware temperature to achieve fast and complete drying. Hotter water will produce better washing results.

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.

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. A compression fitting is provided that connects to .375" (9.53mm) OD copper tubing.

Purified Water Requirements

To use purified water for the rinse cycles, 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 non-pressurized purified water container.

The purified water system must be provided with supply piping of sufficient size to permit at least 0.9 gallons (3.4 liters) per minute of flow. Tubing with an internal diameter of at least .375" (9.53 mm) is recommended. The purified water

Product Service 1-800-522-7658

Chapter 2: Prerequisites

inlet valve on the washer is equipped with a plastic hose barb connection to accommodate .375" (9.53 mm) 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 3/4" - 11-1/2 NH hose coupling. Rigid plastic, tin-lined, or stainless steel tubing and fitting can be connected to the washer fitting.

An optional Connection Kit (Labconco P/N 4592200) is available for connecting .375" (9.53mm) OD plastic tubing to the purified water inlet valve. The purified water system connections must be airtight to prevent the washer pump from pulling air instead of water.

If the purified water is stored in a carboy, at least 3.4 gallons (13 liters) must be available for each rinse. If all the purified water is not available at the start of a wash cycle, but instead is produced concurrently with the wash cycle, the production rate must permit at least 0.9 gallon (3.4 liters) per minute to be delivered to the washer.

Electrical Requirements

The Glassware Washer should be hard-wired directly into a junction box using conduit. A 20 Amp circuit breaker or fuse is required.

The Glassware Washer is designed to operate at 230 VAC, single phase. It will operate safely at nominal 208 VAC, however the heater output will be significantly degraded as the operating voltage drops below 230V. It is recommended that if the voltage is low that a boost transformer is used.

Drain Requirements

The drain hose, .57" (1.45 cm) ID is installed during manufacture. 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, 5/8" (1.6 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.

Loading Glassware into the FlaskScrubber

Glassware Holders are supplied with each FlaskScrubber. These holders enable you to position glassware onto the FlaskScrubber spindles.

To use a Glassware Holder:

1. Press the glassware into the holder; the clamps should spring out and grip the

glassware. Do not use with glassware over 2.5 inches in diameter as damage to the holder may occur.

2. The holder may be raised or lowered by squeezing the spring clip on the

bottom of the holder and then sliding the holder up or down.

3. For best results, do not allow the glassware to rest directly on top of the

spindle.

Glassware should be loaded so that it does not touch during a wash cycle. The washer has been designed for quiet operation. To prevent noise and glass breakage, be certain that glassware is retained.

Note: It is normal for the clamps to deform if large glassware is inserted into the Holder and the washer is operated at high temperature.

The Detergent Dispenser in the Door

In addition to the bulk liquid detergent and neutralizing acid rinse dispense systems, your Glassware Washer is equipped with a detergent dispenser in the door that contains a main wash cavity and a neutralizing solution port. This dispenser in the door is active only if the liquid detergent dispensed from the bulk container is programmed to 0 ml. See “Programming and Starting a Wash Cycle” instructions later in this section. In addition, the washer door has a depression where powder detergent may be added for use during the first wash of the cycle.

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 powder detergent to the depression in the washer door. Do not use liquid detergent in the pre-wash cavity in the washer door. The initial drain and fill cycle flushes the liquid detergent out of the washer prior to the first wash. 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.

Product Service 1-800-522-7658

Chapter 4: Using Your Washer

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 ignite flammable solvents.

Petroleum based compounds may degrade certain internal washer components. Always thoroughly rinse petroleum based compounds from glassware before placing in the Washer.

Non-foaming powder or liquid detergent formulated for labware washers, in conjunction with adequate hot water, is essential for clean glassware. Labconco LabSolutions Detergents are recommended. See Appendix A for ordering information. Use detergents sparingly. Too much detergent, particularly 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.

Note: To open the detergent dispenser, gently slide the white tab sideways. The tab may break if it is pulled upward or perpendicular to the door.

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.

Chapter 4: Using Your Washer

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 neutralizing dispenser from which it will be dispensed during the first rinse. This dispenser in the door is active only if the liquid detergent dispensed from the bulk container is programmed to 0 ml. This prevents a double portion of neutralizing solution from being dispensed. See “Programming and Starting a Wash Cycle” instructions later in this section. The dispenser holds approximately 170 ml and should be checked and replenished as needed. To fill the neutralizing acid dispenser, refer to Figure 4-4 and follow the instructions below.

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 LabSolutions Neutralizing Acid Rinse (Labconco P/N

4522200) 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.
