Operation; Clearing Jams; Shutdown - Meiko K-44E Owner's Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

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.
As the rack is pulled through the machine, it
automatically activates water jets at each
zone - prewash (if so equipped), wash,
recirculating rinse (if so equipped), and final
rinse. Curtains between the zones prevent
splashing of soiled water into the next zone.
After the final rinse, the rack is pushed out of
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 of clean ware
are removed, operation can continue
normally.
During idle periods, the dishwasher
automatically maintains water temperature in
the tanks, allowing instant recovery.

4.5 Clearing Jams

Under normal operating conditions, racks will
not jam as they move through the machine.
However, improper loading or improper
curtain installation may cause a rack to jam.
When clearing a jam, ALWAYS switch the
POWER switch to the OFF position before
opening the front access doors OR reaching
into the machine.
WARNING!
Before clearing a jam, ALWAYS switch
the POWER switch to the OFF
position.
WARNING!
When the front access doors are
opened, steam will escape the interior
of the machine.

4.6 Shutdown

Check that the last rack has exited the
machine.
Switch the circuit breaker/fused disconnect
to the OFF position.
Open the front access door(s). Clean the
machine as described in Section 5,
"Cleaning." Meiko recommends that the door
of the dishwasher be left open overnight to
allow it to air thoroughly.
WARNING!
Before opening the doors, check that
the POWER switch is in the OFF
position.
WARNING!
When the front access doors are
opened, steam will escape the interior
of the machine.
WARNING!
For your safety, allow the interior of the
machine to cool before cleaning.
