Assure there is a sufficient supply of chemicals before beginning a shift.
Note: Use only commercial-grade detergents and rinse aids recommended by your chemical
professional. Do not use detergents and rinse aids formulated for residential dishwashers.
Low Temperatures chemical-sanitizing dishmachines must not exceed 6% sodium hypochlorite
solution (bleach) as the sanitizing agent. Higher levels may damage stainless or components.
Follow the directions precisely that are on the litmus paper vial and test the water on the surface
of the bottom of the glasses. Concentration should be 50 p.p.m. minimum to 100 p.p.m.
maximum. If concentration is incorrect contact your chemical supplier.

the water level in the wash tank is about 1" deep, for best results use water level
indicator located at the back of the wash tank.

General

Caution: Do not operate the dishmachine without the drain screen in place. Debris getting into
the pump impeller can damage the pump.

2. With the machine filled to the proper level, press rocker Fill/Start switch to the "START"
position – the machine will automatically begin its cycle. The green running light on the
switch will illuminate while an operational cycle is in process.
3. At the end of the shift, drain the machine by holding the Drain rocker switch in the "DRAIN"

agent should be used for best results in accordance with chemical supplier's instructions.

Toggle De-lime switch to the "De-lime" position.

Allow the machine to run for several minutes or until the interior lime build up has
been dissolved.
