General

Caution: Do not operate the dishmachine without the drain screen in place. Debris
getting into the pump impeller can damage the pump.
1. Load a rack of properly pre-scrapped dished into the machine and close the door.
2. With the machine filled to the proper level, toggle the Fill/Start rocker switch to the
"START" position – the machine will automatically begin its cycle. The green running
light on the switch will illuminate while an operational cycle is in process.
3. At the end of the shift, drain the machine by holding the Drain rocker switch in the
"DRAIN" position until the machine is completely drained. To avoid running the pump
dry, do not hold the Drain rocker switch in the "DRAIN" position any longer than
necessary.
4. Remove and clean the drain screen. Remove and clean the spray arms. (See wall
chart instructions or instructions provided in Appendix A: Operator & Cleaning
Instructions).
5. Replace the drain screen and spray arms.

3.2.1. Pre-Scrapping

It is essential that the operator thoroughly understand the importance of pre-scrapping the
dishes before loading them. The L-1X and L-1X16 are equipped with a removable drain
screen. The drain screen can be easily removed for cleaning between Operational Cycles
of the dishmachine. Properly pre-scrapping the dishes should permit the dishmachine to
operate for an entire shift before needing to remove and clean the drain screen.

3.2.2. Proper Chemical Dosage

The amount of chemical delivered, whether it is detergent, sanitizer or rinse aid, is
determined by its respective cam on the cam timer.
•
Cam number 2 runs the detergent pump
•
Cam number 5 runs the sanitizer pump
•
Cam number 6 runs the rinse aid pump
