IMPORTANT
Note that while the tanks are heated, the final
sanitizing rinse (FR) has not yet heated to
the correct temperature (180°F minimum).
Press the START OPERATION
button to start the wash pumps. The
light above the button will illuminate.
As the water circulates through the machine,
the final rinse water will begin to heat to the
correct temperature.
The wash pumps will
operate for one rack cycle
(usually 1-2 minutes).
When the wash pumps stop, check the final
rinse temperature (FR). If the temperature has
not reached 180°F, load an empty rack into
the machine. Water will again circulate
through the machine and the final rinse
temperature will continue to rise.
When the final rinse (FR)
has heated to 180°F, wait
for the wash pumps to
stop operating. The
display will read "Cycle
Pause" instead of "Ready
for Operation."
Racks can now be loaded into the machine
for washing.
