WARNING: The chemicals used in commercial glasswashing are very harsh. Exposure to human skin can
cause severe burns. Chemical containers should be stored in a manner and/or location that
prevents them from spilling or splashing. Chemical containers must be secured. Please consult
your chemical vendor to ensure proper storage or call the Glastender factory to purchase a clip-
on chemical rail, part number 01000710.
3. After utility connections described above are completed, plug in glasswasher.
4. Depress Prime switches to fill Feed Lines. NOTE: Always cycle the machine after using the prime
switches. Undiluted chemicals will damage stainless steel.
5. Cycle the glasswasher and check chemical settings.
6. If chemical adjustment is required, unplug glasswasher, remove front panel, and adjust chemicals as
required using the Electronic Control Timer. See chemical adjustment procedure below.
Chemical Adjustment Procedure
The chemical strengths should be tested with a professional test kit by
the chemical supplier. Water samples should be taken during the wash
cycle and the rinse cycle.
Detergent - .30% concentration
Sanitizer - 50 PPM (sodium hypochlorite [bleach])
Rinse Aid - until proper sheeting is achieved
