Products Covered by this Manual
This manual covers the following Silverware Pre-washer types. Each is available in both a Standard Capacity version and a High Capacity version.
Free-standing Stationary
These pre-washers are not portable but do not require permanent installation into an existing dish table. They are designed with legs but do not have casters. Their faucets and drains are permanently connected, and their electrical connections are made with water-tight flexible conduit.
Mobile
These pre-washers are designed with legs equipped with casters to allow them to move about the scullery. They may also be moved to bussing areas of banquet halls or other locations where permanent installation is not practical. They are drained into floor sinks, and they are filled from any temperature regulated potable water supply. Lower voltage versions have built-in power cords, and higher voltage versions require on-site wiring by a licensed electrician.
Parts and Cutlery Washer
This specialized version is designed for larger, harder to clean wares where high load electrical service is available. The Parts and Cutlery Washer is very similar to the High Capacity Mobile pre-washers regarding portability and connection requirements.
Roll-under
These pre-washers are identical to the Mobile units with two exceptions: 1) The legs are very short so they can roll under existing dish tables, 2) They are equipped with faucets. Like the Mobile units, they are drained into floor sinks, and they are filled through a flexible tube from any temperature regulated potable water supply.
Weld-in
These pre-washers are designed to be integrated into existing dish tables. To be installed, an opening in the shape of the pre-washer tank must be cut into the dish table. The tank is then welded in. Their drain connections, faucet connections, and electrical connections are permanent.
Drop-in
Like the Weld-in version, these pre-washers are permanent additions to dish tables. Drop-In units are identical to Weld-ins except for the method of attachment to the dish table. The Drop-in pre-washer uses a flange and clamp arrangement to lock itself into the dish table opening. Also like the Weld-in units, the drain connections, faucet connections, and electrical connections are permanent.

Explanation of Warning Messages
Be sure to read, understand and follow all DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION messages located in this guide and on the equipment.
Danger
Personal Injury and Property Damage hazard. May result in serious injury or death. May cause extensive equipment damage.
Warning
Property Damage Hazard. May result in property or equipment damage.
Chemical Hazard
May result in serious injury or death. Instructions, labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) should be supplied with all detergents. The manufacturers, importers and distributors of your cleaning chemicals are responsible for providing this information.
Power Soak Systems is not a chemical manufacturer, importer or distributor. Power Soak Systems can assist your chemical representative but will not make specific brand recommendations.
Personal Injury Hazard
Hazard from sharp objects. May result in serious injury or death.
8
The silverware pre-wash system wash tank requires a low-foaming, metal-safe detergent that is safe for the hands. The detergent should have good grease cutting abilities but not have an excessively high pH level.
Requirements for Detergents
Detergents
Improper detergents may damage equipment! Use of the correct detergent in your pre-wash system is critical to its washing performance. If you are having problems with cleaning results, please contact Power Soak Systems.
Sanitization
The Power Soak Silverware Pre-washing System is not designed to sanitize the items it cleans. The intended purpose of the pre-washer is to break down and soften the soils on the silverware so that a single pass through a commercial dish machine will finish the cleaning job and sanitize the silverware. THE PRE-WASHER MUST NOT BE USED ALONE TO CLEAN OR SANITIZE SILVERWARE.
Factory Assistance
If your chemical sales representative is having difficulty selecting a detergent, or if you are getting poor results with the chemicals your representative has recommended, please contact Power Soak Systems at 816-222-2400.
