ECTION PERATION

4.4 Operation

Press either of the CYCLE/
DRAIN keys to begin the selected
cycle. The key will not work unless
the light above the selected
POWER/CYCLE SELECT key
has stopped flashing.
The machine will begin a wash and rinse
cycle. The Soft Start feature pumps the water
through the arms slowly for the first few
seconds of the cycle to protect fragile ware.
After a few seconds, full pressure will engage.
The time of the total cycle will be at least as
long as the times shown in Section 4.1. Note
that quickly loading several loads in
succession when using a cold water supply
may extend the cycle time.
O
PTIONAL
If desired, the cycle can be stopped at any
time by pressing the POWER OFF (
button OR by opening the door.
WARNING!
If the door is opened suddenly, hot
water can spray out of the machine. To
prevent this from happening:
• Open the door slowly until the machine
stops operating, OR
• Press the key to stop the wash/rinse
cycle before opening the door.
When the cycle has completed, the machine
will stop operating and sound a three-stage
beeping tone. After the tone has sounded, you
may open the doors, roll the basket forward
onto the lower door section, and unload the
ware. Note that steam escapes when the
doors are opened; this is normal.
WARNING!
Use caution when handling hot
dishware.

4.5 Between Cycles

During idle periods, leave the doors of the
machine closed. If the doors are left open,
the wash tank water will cool. This will activate
the tank heaters, consuming extra energy,
and may lengthen the recovery time when
another cycle is started.
If necessary, you can choose a different cycle
length between cycles by pressing any of the
POWER/CYCLE SELECT keys.
When you are ready to start a new cycle, refer
to Section 4.3, "Loading."

4.6 Shutdown

At the end of the shift, press the
POWER OFF key.
Press either of the CYCLE/
DRAIN keys to empty the tank.
)
After the water has drained, the machine will
enter a self-cleaning mode. The interior will
be sprayed with hot, fresh water as the
booster tank empties. When this is
completed, the drain will "pulse" several times
to empty the water and the machine will
automatically shut off.
WARNING!
DO NOT open the doors of the
machine during the self-cleaning process!
The process will be interrupted and hot water
may spray out of the machine.
After the machine has finished its self-
cleaning cycle, open the doors. Remove any
food particles, scraps or bones from the scrap
screen. Meiko recommends that the doors of
the machine be left open overnight to allow it
to air thoroughly.
IMPORTANT
Because of the large quantity of food soiling
present on many pots and pans, it is
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that the
interior of the machine be cleaned daily
following the instructions in Section 5.1, "Daily
Cleaning."
