4.4 Operation

Operation of the dishwasher is fully automatic.
Simply push a rack into the entrance end of
the dishwasher until the rack conveyor drive
engages.
The dishwasher features three conveyor
speeds to accommodate varying levels of
soiling. Simply press the appropriate button
to select a conveyor speed:
Fast - for typically soiled items
Medium - for items with greater
amounts of soiling
Slow - for very heavily soiled items
As the rack is pulled through the machine,
water jets will activate at each zone - prewash
(if so equipped), wash, auxiliary rinse and final
rinse. Curtains between the zones prevent
splashing of soiled water into the next zone.
After the final rinse (and blower dryer, if so
equipped), the rack exits the machine.
If the machine is equipped with an optional
table limit switch, the conveyor drive will stop
if the switch at the end of the clean dishtable
is engaged. When the racks are removed from
the table, operation can continue normally.

4.5 Idle Periods

During idle periods, press the STOP
OPERATION button. This stops the
conveyor and wash pumps while
automatically maintaining water
temperature in the tanks, allowing for
a faster recovery.
After the idle period, press the START
OPERATION. The wash pumps will
activate and water will begin to
circulate through the machine.
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.
