Information—Read Before
Operating Your Laboratory Dishwasher!
Normal Operating Sounds
This laboratory dishwasher does not sound like most laboratory dishwashers—IT'S QUIETER .
Your laboratory dishwasher uses energy efficient motors for the wash and drain portions of the cycle you select. Each cycle has a series of water fills and drains for washing and rinsing labware. As each cycle begins, you may–or may not–hear the drain motor.
The next sound you will hear is the splashing water as it enters the tub. Then the lower arm rotates and circulates water. This is followed by a pause and a slightly different sound as the middle arm sprays water. If you listen closely, you will hear the change in sound as the wash action switches from one arm to the other.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this laboratory dishwasher to previous models, you may be surprised at what you DON'T hear!
1. Load laboratory dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Labware).
2. Add detergent (See Laboratory Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents).
3. Add rinse aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid).
4. Close door to latch.
5. Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart). The indicator light above the pad will glow when selected.
6. Select desired OPTIONS (See Energy Options). The indicator light above the pad will glow when selected.
7. Run hot water faucet nearest laboratory dishwasher until water is hot. Turn water off.
8. To start, press START/CANCEL pad.
Note: Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options selected. Hot water is necessary to activate laboratory dishwasher detergent and break down soils. An automatic sensor will check the incoming water temperature and, if it is not hot enough, the timer will be delayed for automatic water heating in the main wash of all cycles. This happens even when HI-TEMP WASH option has not been selected. When HI-TEMP WASH is selected, an even higher temperature will be

Operating Instructions
Options Selections
Hi-Temp Wash
opens during the last few minutes of the final rinse
When HI -T EMP WASH option is selected the laboratory dishwasher adds temperature, time, and water to the cycle. The laboratory dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 140°F (60°C).
This increase in water temperature helps laboratory dishwasher detergent remove soil from labware more effectively and aids in drying. HI-TEMP WASH option can be used with all cycles except UPPER RACK, and RINSE ONLY. HI-TEMP WASH is automat ic ally provided when HEAVY WASH cycle is selected.
When HI -T EMP WASH option is selected, the light above the pad will come on and remain on until end of cycle. To turn off the HI-TEMP WASH o ption, press the pad a second time. The light above the pad will turn of f.
Sanitize Option
To sanitize your labware, select the SANITIZE option. When selected, the light above the pad will come on and remain on until end of cycle. The water temperature in the final rinse will be raised to 155°F (68°C) and will maintain that temperature for 9 minutes. This option is available in HEAVY, NORMAL and ECO WASH cycles.
The cycle time will be extended until the proper water temperature is reached. Washing action will continue
during the water heating delay. For best results, the incoming water temperature should be at least 120°F (49°C).
The sanitize criteria may not be satisfied if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if the incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49°C).
To turn off the SANITIZE option press th e pad a second time. The light above the pad will turn off.
Heat Dry
The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. The energy required to use the HEAT DRY option costs pennies per cycle. You may choose not to select the HEAT DRY option; however you will have items in your dish load that will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle.
You may see water vapor coming from the vent during the drying portion of cycle. The vent is closed during washing to hold moisture and sound inside. The vent

and remains open for drying. The drying option may be changed at any time during the cycle and affects only the drying period.
Opening the door longer than one minute during the dry cycle cancels the selected dry program.
Delay Start
The DELAY START option allows you to automatically delay starting your laboratory dishwasher from 1-3 or 2-4-6 hours depending on your model.
On models with 2-4-6 hour delay, press the pad once for a 2 hour delay, twice for 4 hours and three times for 6 hours. A light will come on indicating the delay start hours and will remain on until cycle starts.
To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the cycle before the delay period is over, press the START/CANCEL pad.
To Cancel a Cycle
You can cancel a cycle anytime during the cycle. Press START/CANCEL pad and the dishwasher will start a 90 second drain. At the end of the drain, select the desired cycle.
Status Indicator Lights
The WASHING light (some models) comes on at the beginning of cycle and remains on until the end of the main wash.
The DRYING light (some models) indicates the drying portion of the cycle. The light will come on when either drying option is selected.
When the SANITIZE option is selected, the SANITIZED light will glow when th e SANITIZE cycle is finished. If the laboratory dishwasher did not properly sanitize the dishes, the light will not come on. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted. The light will remain on until the door is opened.
The CLEAN light (some models) will come on at end of cycle and remain on until door is opened.
Adding Labware
To add or remove items after wash cycle starts:
• Unlatch door and wait a few seconds until wash action stops before opening.
• Add the item and wait a few seconds to allow cold air to slowly expand inside dishwasher.
• Close door firmly to latch and resume cycle.

Preparing and Loading Labware
Labware Preparation
Features and appearance of racks and small parts
Upper Rack Option
Loading the Small Parts Basket
Scrape away large pieces. The continuous filtered wash system will remove remaining particles.
Burned-on pieces should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids from glasses, beakers, petri dishes, cups, etc.
Some substances may cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of time. Unless the laboratory dishwasher is to be operated at once, it is best to rinse off these soils.
• Load racks so that large items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
• Check manufacturer's recommendations before washing items in question.
• Check if the laboratory dishwasher drains into a food disposer, be sure disposer is completely
empty before starting laboratory dishwasher.
Loading the Top Rack
Features and appearance of racks and small parts basket may vary from your model.
The UPPER RACK option can be used to wash a wide assortment of items when you don't have a full load. Also, when the upper rack fills up with glassware and the lower rack is still empty, you don't have to wait anymore for clean glassware.
Loading the Bottom Rack
Features and appearance of racks and small parts basket may vary from your model.
The lower rack is best for larger glassware. Large items should be placed along the edge so they do not block the spray arm rotation. For best results, place items face down or toward the center. Tilt slightly for better drainage.
Make sure tall items do not block spray arm rotation.
Be sure handles do not protrude through the bottom of the rack and block the spray arm rotation.
The upper rack is designed for flexibility in loading a wide variety of items including beakers, petri dishes, cups, glasses, stemware, small plates, bowls, etc.
Load glass items in top rack. Damage may occur if placed in bottom rack.
Load plastic items in top rack only. Melting may occur if placed in bottom rack.
Load items with open ends facing down for better cleaning and draining.
Damage may occur if delicate items touch each other during laboratory dishwasher operation.
Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom of the top rack to block rotation of middle spray arm.
Some models have a fold-down beaker shelf. They can be used to load two levels of beakers, petri dishes, and other short items. Stagger items on upper level so that water can reach all inside surfaces. Fold up to load taller items.
basket may vary from your model.
Load the small parts basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
In some models small items can be placed in a covered section. Close the cover to hold small items in place.
Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or rack to block the spray arm.
Mix items in each section of the basket. Water spray cannot reach nested items.

Laboratory Dishwasher Dispenser and Detergents
Filling the Detergent Dispenser How much Deter gent to use
*Note: For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough. A water so ftener is recommended to improve
The detergent dispenser has one main wash and one prewash cup. Detergent in the uncovered cup falls into the laboratory dishwasher when the door is closed. The covered cup opens automatically to release detergent.
• Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent. Other detergents will cause oversudsing.
• When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, place one tab in main wash cup and close.
• Add detergent just before starting cycle.
• Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or caked detergent will not dissolve properly.
The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause a permanent film called etching. Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area.
water quality and dishwashing performance. Try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main wash portion of the cycle. As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly and add detergent to the bottom of the tub. Close the door to latch and the laboratory dishwasher will continue through the cycle.

Factors Affecting
Rinse Aid
washes, depending on setting.
Water Pressure
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Water
"sheets" off glassware rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots.
A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number. The dial is located under the dispenser cap. The indicator will be dark when full and will show clear when it is time to refill.
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fill level. Replace cap.
Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140
(Continued)
Performance
The hot water line to the laboratory dishwasher must provide water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
Low water pressure may occur when other water dependent machines are in operation. Wait until water use is reduced before starting laboratory dishwasher.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best laboratory dishwashing and drying results. Water entering laboratory dishwasher should be at least 120°F (49°C) to give satisfactory results.
To check water temperature entering laboratory dishwasher:
• Turn on hot water faucet nearest laboratory dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water from pipes.
• Hold a thermometer in stream of water to check the temperature.
• If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting.
Important: Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear cool water from pipe.

Solutions to Common Problems
(Continued)
Laboratory Dishware Stained or
Laboratory Dishwasher Leaks
Discolored
• Some solutions can cause items to become stained. Remove the stains by hand washing in a solution of ½ cu p ( 120 ml) ble ach and one quart (1 L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.
• Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown film. A special filter installed in the water supply line will correct this problem.
(See Removing Spots and Film.)
• Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black marks when they rub against other items.
Load properly.
• Certain solutions can cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period. Use the
Rinse & Hold cycle or rinse by hand if not
operating laboratory dishwasher at once.
• Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in the small parts basket can cause pitting of the stainless steel. Avoid mixing stainless steel and silver.
Etching
• Using too much detergent in soft or softened water causes this film that cannot be removed.
• Adjust the amount of detergent bas ed on th e water hardness. (Check Detergent Chart.)
• Lower the water temperature.
• Use no heat dry option.
Detergent Left in Cups
• Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh detergent.
• Be sure water action can reach the dispenser.
• Check to see if cycle has been completed.
• Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser fr om ope ni ng .
• Use only fresh detergent desi g ned for laboratory dishwashers. Measure detergent carefully. Try a different brand.
• Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to overflowing. W ipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
• Check to see that dishwasher is level.
(See Installation Instructions.)
Normal Sounds You Will Hear
• Normal sounds include water fill, water circulation and motor sounds.
• There is a noticeable change in sound when the wash action switches between the lower and middle spray arm. This is norm al since each spray arm has its own sound.
• It is normal for laboratory dishwasher to pause (no sound) when the wash action is switching between the lower and middle spray arms.
Water in Bottom of Tub
• Water left in bottom of tub after cycle is complete is not normal. If water remains in the bottom of the tub, laboratory dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See Laboratory Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly.)
Vapor at Vent
• Water vapor escapes from the vent during the drying part of cycle. This is normal.
Laboratory Dishwasher Won’t Run
• Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped or if a fuse is blown.
• Make sure water supply is turned on.
• Check to see if cycle is set correctly.
(See Operating Instru c ti ons.)
• Is laboratory dishwasher set for delay start option?
• Make sure door is closed and latched.

• Is cycle in a water heating delay?
• Has the delay start option been selected?
• Has the sanitize option been selected?
Laboratory Dishwasher Won’t Fill
• Is water supply turned on?
• Does overfill protector move up and down freely? (See Overfill Protector section.)
Laboratory Dishwasher Has an Odor
• Soiled glassware left in laboratory dishwasher too long can create an odor. Use Rinse Only cycle.
Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the laboratory dishwasher. Labware may also get spots and film for a number of reasons. (See Glassware Spotted or Cloudy section.) To remove buildup, spots and film, clean using the following instructions:
1. Load clean labware in normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Close and latch door. Press START/CANCEL pad.
4. Allow laboratory dishwasher to run until it starts the second water fill (approximately 10 minutes).
5. Unlatch and open door and pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the bottom of laboratory dishwasher.
6. Close and latch door and allow cycle to finish.
Note: If these conditions persist, a water softener should be considered.
• There will be a “new” smell when first installed. This is normal.
• Check to see if unit is draining properly.
(See Laboratory Dishwa s her Does Not Drain
Properly.)
Stains on Tub Interior
• Washing certain solutions may cause staining of the interior. This will not affect performance and will gradually fade over time. Prerinsing or using the Rinse Only cycle will reduce the chance of staining. Using no heat dry option will lessen staining.
