Getting Started; Introduction To The L-1C - CMA Dishmachines L-1C Owner's Manual

2. Getting Started

All sections of the manual address both the L-1C.Separate information on each glasswasher is only
provided where differences exist between the two models.
2.1.

Introduction to the L-1C

The L-1C Glasswashers are unique in their field; they have all the features of a standard commercial
size glasswasher packed into an under-counter, standalone glasswasher.
Operation of the L-1C is extremely easy. After initially filling the glasswasher (see section 3.1.3 Filling
the Machine), toggling the Fill/Start switch to the "START" position begins the Operational Cycle, which
runs automatically.
To reduce service time, all electrical switches are mounted in a sliding drawer for easy access. The only
external connections necessary are the power source, water supply and drainpipe.
There are also accessories that can be chosen when desired such as the optional sustainer heater and
6" legs. The optional sustainer heater with thermostat is extremely practical for maintaining wash tank
temperature between cycles. The 800-watt heater will hold the wash tank temperature between 130°F
and 140°F while the glasswasher is not being run. See section 5 for the parts list and accessories
available for the glasswasher.
The supply water to the L-1C must be a minimum of 140°F. The pipe supplying the water must be ½"
minimum. The plumbing connection is located at the back of the glasswasher. The drain is a 1" barbed
fitting located at the back of the glasswasher for easy attachment of your drain hose. See section 2.2.2
Plumbing.
This manual is structured to provide a complete reference guide to the L-1C. It is presented in a manner
that all users will be able to comprehend and use as an effective tool in supporting the installation,
operation and maintenance of the glasswasher. The first section provides the specifications and details
of the operational cycle. The next section explains how the glasswasher is packaged and what to look
for when receiving the glasswasher. After unpacking the glasswasher, this manual explains how to
install and set up the glasswasher for use. Requirements are given for plumbing, wiring, and space
considerations. These attributes of the glasswasher are always taken into consideration by our well-
trained sales representatives prior to the order being placed. In the manual, guidance is also given for
operation to ensure that the glasswasher will be able to run optimally.
The Operation section of the manual may be used for instruction and procedures when required. We
make this portion of the manual easy to understand so that all levels of operators may be able to read
and comprehend the operation of the glasswasher. The function of the glasswasher itself is mostly
automatic and takes little training to put into full operation. The Operation section also includes
diagnostic considerations for the glasswasher if problems occur.
DISCLAIMERS
CMA expressly disclaims any and all warranties, express or implied, relating to the installation of any and all CMA equipment that is installed by chemical dealers, contracted servicers or third party servicers to
CMA equipment. If the installation instructions are not followed exactly (to the letter), or, if any person or company conducting the installation of the CMA equipment, revise the installation procedures or alter the
instructions in any manner, the CMA warranty becomes void. If, due to the improper installation of CMA equipment, this equipment ceases to operate properly or affects other parts of the CMA dishwashing
equipment, in that the other parts become defective, the CMA warranty becomes void. CMA will not be liable or responsible or warrant CMA equipment, due to improper installation of any CMA model
dishwasher.
CMA does NOT endorse "Tankless On-Demand" water heaters for use on CMA Dishmachine products. On most applications, the volume
of hot water required for commercial dishmachines exceeds the capacity of these types of heating sources. You will find that most, if not
all, commercial dishmachines have been programmed with auto-filling features that require quick filling, with a designated limited time.
CMA DOES endorse, and highly recommends, the standard "tank" style water heaters, sized properly to handle each particular facility with
their water heating requirements. A "tank" style water heater stores and supplies a large capacity of preheated water before providing hot
water to the dishmachine. To meet required health codes, there must be a reliable and consistent flow of adequate hot water supplied to
the dishmachine. If the facilities' "tank" style water heater is marginal in size, CMA recommends installing a proper size Hatco Booster
Heater, a CMA's E-Temp 40 or 70-degree-rise Booster Heater (that can be installed on CMA Conveyors), or a CMA Temp-Sure Booster
Heater (for door and undercounter dishmachines). All are designed to adequately achieve results.
