Detergent usage and water hardness are two factors that contribute greatly to how
efficiently this machine will operate. Using detergent in the proper amount can
become a source of substantial savings. A qualified water treatment specialist can
determine what is needed for maximum efficiency from the detergent.
1. Hard water greatly affects the performance of the machine, causing the amount
of detergent required for washing to increase. If the machine is installed in an
area with hard water, the manufacturer recommends the installation of water
treatment equipment.
2. Deposited solids from hard water can cause spotting that will not be removed
with a drying agent. Treated water will reduce this occurence.
3. Treated water might not be suitable for use in other areas of operation and it
might be necessary to install a water treatment system for the water going to the
machine only. Discuss this option with a qualified water treatment specialist.
4. Machine operators should be properly trained on how much detergent is to be
used per cycle. Meet with a water treatment specialist and detergent vendor to
discuss a complete training program for operators.
5. These machines require that chemicals be provided for proper operation and
sanitization and require the installation of third-party chemical feeders to
introduce these chemicals to the machine. Contact a chemical supplier with any
questions.
6. Water temperature is an important factor in ensuring that the machine functions
properly. The machine's data plate details what the minimum temperatures must
be for the incoming water supply, the wash tank, and the rinse tank. If minimum
requirements are not met, there is a possibility that dishes will not be clean or
sanitized.
7. Instruct machine operators to observe the required temperatures and to report
when they fall below the minimum allowed. A loss of temperature can indicate a
larger problem.
