SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

1INTRODUCTION

1.1 Overview of Equipment

The MEIKO Model FV 40.2 is a commercial
dishwasher designed for cleaning dishes,
glassware, cutlery and kitchen utensils with a
minimum of employee intervention or
supervision.

A control keypad allows easy selection of
three different dishwashing cycles to
accommodate different levels of soiling. A
digital display permits easy monitoring of
operation.

Other features of the unit that affect operation
include:

Auto Safe - An internal booster heater is
regulated by the electronic control system to
ensure a proper sanitizing final rinse
temperature, regardless of the incoming water
temperature.

Soft Start - The wash water is pumped at a
reduced pressure for the first few seconds of
the wash cycle. This protects the ware from
being moved or damaged by a sudden burst
of pressure.

Pumped Rinse - An internal rinse pump
ensures that the final rinse pressure is
constant.

Pumped Drain - Accommodates wall or floor
drains.

Aqua Stop - The unit will automatically shut
down if a water leak is detected.

For efficient and SAFE operation, be sure to
follow the installation and operating
instructions provided in this manual. In
particular, all safety symbols and notices on
the equipment and in the supplied
documentation must be followed.

IMPORTANT

The Model FV 40.2 dishwasher has been
designed exclusively for the washing of
dishes, glassware, cutlery and kitchen utensils
in a commercial or institutional setting and
must not be used for any other purpose.

SECTION 3 - INSTALLATION

3INSTALLATION

3.1 Overview of Installation

The owner should contract with qualified
personnel to move the appliance to the
installation location, unpack it, and prepare it
for final utility connections. In most cases,
local codes prevent the final utility connections
from being made by any party other than a
licensed electrician and/or plumber.

IMPORTANT

It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all aspects of the installation comply with
all applicable local and national codes.

IMPORTANT

The appliance’s warranty is not valid until a
MEIKO Authorized Service Agent performs a
Startup and Demonstration on the appliance.
This Demonstration should be scheduled after
installation.

Installation of the dishwasher involves the
following steps:

• Verifying that the utility connections are
present, are appropriate for the appliance,
and comply with all applicable local and
national codes.

• Unwrapping the appliance (leaving the
shipping skid in place for easier move­ment) and checking for shipping damage.

• Moving the appliance to the installation
location, removing the skid, and leveling
the feet.

• Connecting the electrical supply.

• Installing the chemical dispensing system.

For units equipped with the optional
dispensing system, this involves
connecting the warewasher’s detergent and
rinse additive tubes to appropriate dispensers.

For units without the optional system, the
dispensing system installer should follow
the manufacturer’s instructions AND the
instructions in Section 3 of this Manual.

• Connecting the fresh water supply.

• Positioning the drain hose.

Page 4

• Contacting your MEIKO Authorized Service
Agent to perform a Startup and
Demonstration on the appliance. This step
also validates the appliance’s warranty.

3.2 Requirements Before Installation

Before the installer can uncrate and move the
appliance to the installation location, the
following conditions MUST be met:

• INSTALLATION AREA REQUIREMENTS

- The area MUST be frost-free. Freezing

temperatures (32°F/0°C or lower)
inhibit proper operation and can
damage internal components.

- The area MUST have a firm floor

surface. It is possible to compensate for
uneven flooring by adjusting the feet.

- The area should be away from

appliances, furniture or surfaces that
can be damaged by steam. If this is
not possible, these items should be
protected from the small quantities of
steam that are released during normal
operation of the dishwasher.

• UTILTITY CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS

- Connections must be present and

ready for hookup to the appliance. All
utility supplies must comply with the
electrical information labels, with the
information on the data plate, and with
all applicable local and national codes.

- Electrical leads and the water supply

hose (supplied by the customer) must
be present.

- For units without the optional

dispensing system, external detergent
and rinse additive pumps (if used)
should be installed according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

- For units with the optional dispensing

system, appropriate dispensers or
containers should be installed and
ready for connection to the appliance.

• GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Authorized personnel should be available

to perform the actual utility connections.

SECTION 3 - INSTALLATION

3.3 Uncrating, Positioning and Leveling

CAUTION

During shipping and installation, the dishwasher
may ONLY be positioned upright or on its left side.
Some water may remain in the lines after pre­shipping testing. If the unit is positioned in any
manner EXCEPT upright or on its left side, this water
can affect the operation of the water level sensor.

1. Remove all shipping and packaging material
from the appliance, including supports and
wrappings. Leave the shipping skid in place at
this time to allow for easier movement to the
installation location.

2. Check for shipping damage as described in
Section 2, “Transport and Shipping.” If damage
is present, call MEIKO Customer Service at
1-800-868-3840, providing full details on the
customer, serial number and extent of damage
present. MEIKO will file a freight claim based on
this information.

3. Move the appliance to the installation area and
remove the skid. Use caution to avoid damaging
the appliance or any of its components.

4. Check that the plastic feet are attached to each
of the four adjustable leg bolts. If necessary,
attach them by pressing them firmly onto the
end of the bolts.

5. Using a spirit level, check that the appliance is
level in both directions (front-to-back AND side­to-side). If necessary, rotate the leg bolts to level
the appliance.

CAUTION

The dishwasher MUST be level for proper
operation.

3.5 Main Electrical Supply Connection

WARNING!

Check that the circuit breaker/fused
disconnect is in the OFF position and
that the unit is switched off before
making the electrical utility connections.

IMPORTANT

In some cases, local codes dictate that
electrical supply connections be made only
by a certified professional.

1. Check that the incoming power leads are
of sufficient rating for the appliance’s
current draw. Amperage and minimum
supply wire specifications are shown on
the serial plate and on the electrical
information label.

2. Check that the incoming power leads are
long enough to permit the unit to be
repositioned for servicing.

3. Locate the strain relief for the electrical
supply wiring at the lower rear of the
machine (Figure 3-3). Thread the incoming
supply leads through the strain relief and
to the main electrical supply terminal block.

tubes to be routed to external pumps, if they
are used.

CAUTION

If the unit will NOT use one or both of the
chemical supply tubes, cut the unused tube(s)
close to the point where it exits the machine’s
exterior panel and seal it using the supplied
plug and wire clamp. See Figure 3-5.

For units equipped with the optional internal
chemical dispensing system, skip ahead to
Section 3.8, “Connecting Chemical Containers
or Dispensers.”

4. Refer to Figure 3-4 and to the electrical
wiring diagram. Connect the power supply
and ground leads as indicated.

5. Adjust the strain relief to fasten the wiring
in place. You should leave enough slack
in the wiring to prevent stress on the
terminal connections.

3.6 Dispensing system overview

The FV 40.2 is designed for use with liquid
detergent and liquid rinse additive. The unit
is not compatible with solid detergents
and/or rinse additives.

The tubes located at the lower rear of the
warewasher are pre-plumbed to supply liquid
detergent (clear tube) and liquid rinse additive
(blue tube). See Figure 3-3.

Some units are equipped with optional internal
liquid detergent and rinse additive dispensing
pumps, in which case containers can simply
be attached to the supply tubes. Units without
the optional internal pumps will require the
