Installation
WARNING Installer must be suitably qualified and ensure compliance with all local codes and standards including AS/NZS 3500.1.
Failure to comply even partially with installation instructions may void the warranty.
Positioning
Unpack machine, check for damage & complete delivery. Install machine on sound waterproof self-draining floor & adjust feet to level machine. Adjacent surfaces should be heat resistant and moisture proof, especially benchtop lower surfaces above undercounter machines. Allow room for detergent to one side of machine or in adjacent cupboard. 20litre container requires about 450H x 250W x 350D, but smaller containers are available from many suppliers.
Hot Water
Temperature 65°C ± 5°C Connection 20 mm (3/4” BSP) male – flexible hose supplied Flow rate minimum 20 litres per minute Consumption per cycle 3 litres approximately Backflow prevention DCV = Dual Check Valve supplied with machine Pressure 200-350 KPa = 30 - 50 Psi
Above this range fit pressure limiter. Don’t use small diameter plastic supply lines especially below this range when optional rinse booster pump may be required. FLUSH supply line before connection. Connect supplied DCV to water supply. Poor quality supply or excessive water hardness may affect performance or damage machine – filtration and/or softening is recommended.
Waste
Fit drain pump hose to sink waste trap or 750 high open waste - refer installation diagram
Power
Electrical supply required is 15A 240V 50Hz via switched outlet adjacent to machine, which is supplied with cord set including 15A plug (located under the rear cover)
Detergent
If detergent pump is fitted insert pump inlet hose with white ceramic collar into container of commercial low foam detergent. Commercial detergents are usually hazardous – read instructions and handle with care.
Rinse Aid
If rinse aid injector is fitted insert injector inlet hose with steel collar into rinse aid container. Check fluid is steadily rising inside hose during pulse at start of rinse cycle. Rotate adjusting screw clockwise to reduce flow, anticlockwise to increase flow. The injector is activated by rinse pressure - to prime the system switch the machine off and back on several times during filling to mimic multiple rinse cycles (otherwise it will take several operating cycles to bring rinse fluid to required concentration).
Installation Checklist
Complete attached Installation Checklist to ensure machine is installed and running correctly, and operator is familiar with operating procedures.
Troubleshooting
If machine doesn’t fill after switching on power, check & ensure that hot water supply tap is open, water supply pressure is not below specification & Dual Check Valve is correctly installed (arrow on the DCV body specifies water flow direction).

Operation
Description of Controls
Operating Instructions
Start up
Fit drain upstand with filter, scrap trays and shut door. Turn wall and machine power switches on. Power light glows red and machine fills automatically When Wash Ready light and Rinse Ready light glow amber the machine is ready to run and may be started.
Operation
Load rack into machine and shut door. Press Start button (1, 2 or 3) for 1, 2 or 3 minute cycle accordingly. Cycle light glows green while machine operates. When Cycle light goes out, cycle is complete. Remove rack. Close door.
NOTE: Machine will not operate unless Ready lights are on.
Shut down every night
Open the door and turn Drain switch on. After drain starts remove scrap trays and drain upstand when the top of the upstand is above the surface of the water. Allow to drain for approximately 1 minute. Turn Drain and Power switches off.
Rinse clean scrap trays and upstand filter and replace.
Dishwashing Procedures for best results
Note: these are general instructions to assist in getting the best performance from Washtech dishwashers – some comments and / or illustrations may not apply to every unit.
Installation
Read the Operator Manual. Correct installation, including an adequate supply of water at the correct temperature and pressure is essential for effective operation of your machine. Refer installation instructions for details. Drain hose outlet height is important on some models. Always install on a sound self-draining floor. Water softening is recommended in hard water areas - especially for glasswashing
Pre-rinsing
Pre-scraping of dishes is required by hygiene regulations. The best method is to pre-rinse with a pre-rinse spray unit ­or alternatively by scraping or dunking in water.
Cutlery Procedures
Pre-soak cutlery in warm water, preferably containing cutlery pre-soak compound - refer your chemical supplier.
Do not overfill cutlery containers. Cutlery should be loose with handles down. Sort after washing rather than before. Cutlery of only one type nests together and obscures wash water.
Racking Procedures
Do not overload racks, minimize the overlap of crockery. Cycle times are short and water consumption per cycle low - so there is no advantage in overloading racks.
Cycle Times
For multi-cycle machine use the longest cycle whenever possible. Note that water consumption does not increase with longer cycles. Only choose shorter, faster cycles when necessary.
Detergent
Use of correct type and quantity of low foaming detergent is essential to machine performance. Ask a professional chemical supplier to recommend the best types and concentrations of detergent, rinse fluid and cutlery soak for your situation. Note that detergents are hazardous. Poorly formulated detergents, particularly those containing chlorine, can shorten the life of dispensing systems and the machine itself.
Dishwashing Procedures for best results
Drying
Single tank commercial dishwashers do not have a drying cycle. However, the machines do rinse at high temperatures which promote fast drying particularly when drying agents are used. We recommend prompt removal of the rack from the machine - leave the rack on the bench for 2 to 3 minutes before emptying. This time will be reduced with correct use of drying agent (rinse fluid) which reduces water surface tension and allows water to drain quickly from washware. For advice on drying agents and injectors refer to your chemical supplier.
Daily Cleaning
It is essential that the machine is drained and cleaned at the end of each day. Drain the machine then remove, clean and replace filters as per the operating instructions. Regularly check the wash and rinse jets and clean them if necessary – see below.
Regular Cleaning
Remove scrap trays and wash pump inlet filter, where fitted, and rinse or brush clean.
Remove wash and rinse arms by undoing the central thumbscrews. If necessary, remove the end cap screws from the wash arms and the end screws from the rinse arms and flush the arms with water and/or use a toothpick or paperclip to clear jets.
Note: arms and filters vary with model and may appear different from this illustration e.g. those models with plastic wash arms have removable jets for ease of cleaning
Regular Servicing
Regular servicing is essential for optimum performance and long machine life. Maintenance is recommended at least once every six months – especially when chemical injectors are fitted.
Please contact Moffat or your Authorised Service Provider to organize regular servicing of the dishwasher - discuss a Preventative Maintenance Agreement.
