- Page 6: Installation The installation of the dishwasher must be performed by qualified service personnel familiar with food service equipment. Problems due to improper installation are not covered by the Limited Warranty. The installation must comply with all local electrical, plumbing, health and safety codes or applicable requirements. Plumbing connections must be made before the electrical connections. Damage to water heaters will occur if the power is turned on without an adequate water supply. It is the installing plumber's responsibility to flush the incoming water line to remove debris before connecting to the machine. All models have a 6 ft. flexible hot water fill hose with a 3/4 female garden hose connector. A 1/2 or larger main incoming supply line must be installed to the dishwasher. A water hardness of 3 grains/gal (US) or less is recommended. The flowing incoming hot water supply must be between 25-95 psi and provide a minimum 140°F/66°C.
- Page 7: Installation The dishwasher will not drain correctly if it is connected to a disposer. The drain hose is looped and clamped and must not be changed. Altering the drain hose routing may result in the machine’s inability to drain or may cause the machine to siphon the water out of the machine.
- Page 8: Installation Drain connection Failure to follow the drain connection instructions may void the warranty. The machine is equipped with a 6ft. [2m] 5/8 I.D. drain hose. The maximum drain height connection must not exceed 3ft. [1m] and must be vented to prevent wash tank siphoning. The drain hose is located at the rear of the machine and is secured by two clamps. A 3/4 hose barb fitting is strapped to the drain. The maximum drain flow is 15 US gpm/12.4 imp gpm/60 lpm. Do not remove the clamps holding the drain hose to the back of the machine. Do not connect the dishwasher to a disposer. Do not reduce the size of the drain hose connection or use a domestic drain fitting. Do not allow the drain hose to kink.
- Page 9: Installation Building drain connection Install the drain hose to an 1-1/2 or larger WYE fitting. The building drain system must be properly vented. Connection to a TEE fitting will prevent the dishwasher from draining completely. Do connect the flexible drain hose to a vented WYE connection. Do not connect the flexible drain hose to a TEE fitting. Indirect drain connection A 1 (25.4mm) minimum air gap must be maintained between the outlet of the drain hose and the flood-level rim of the drain receptacle. Drain problems are often due to improper installation of the drain hose and may not be covered by the limited warranty.

- Page 15: Initial start-up Contact a local chemical supplier for detergent and rinse-aid chemicals. The detergent should be a non-chlorinated liquid detergent. The chemical dispensing pumps are adjusted by the chemical supplier. The dishwasher is equipped with a built-in detergent dispensing pump and rinse-aid dispensing pump. The pumps are located on the lower panel behind the lower-front access panel. Each pump is equipped with 6 feet [1.8 m] of pick-up supply tubing, a stiffener tube, and a strainer. A red label marked detergent is attached to the detergent pump inlet tubing. A blue label marked rinse-aid is attached to the rinse-aid pump inlet tubing. The detergent supply should be a non-chlorinated liquid detergent.
- Page 16: Installation Priming the chemical dispensing pumps is essential before operating the dishwasher and whenever the container is changed. The chemical dispensing pump supply lines must be primed for proper operation. Ensure the containers are full and the correct pick-up tubes are in their containers.

- Page 23: Cleaning the wash tank is crucial. Drain and clean the dishwasher every 2 hours of continuous operation, after each meal period, and at the end of the day. Remove the upper and lower spray arms and flush clean with water. Remove the scrap screen making sure food soils do not fall into the tank. Flush and back flush with clean water. Check the sump. Check the pump intake strainer. Do not scrub the interior with a metal pad. Check the heating element for lime buildup and remove. Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
- Page 24: Cleaning the spray arms involves unscrewing the retaining screw from the upper and lower interchangeable spray arms. Flush the spray arms clean in a sink, ensuring to flush the spray arm bearings. Use grooves to loosen the hub for cleaning. A paper clip can be used to clean nozzles. A coin or flat head driver can be used to flush the spray arm.
- Page 25: Cleaning the scrap screen and sump strainer involves several steps. Lift the scrap screen straight up and out of the machine to prevent food particles from falling into the tank sump. Flush the scrap screen in a remote sink, ensuring to back-flush both sides of the screen. Wipe the tank sump of water and debris. Carefully inspect the pump intake strainer, which is not removable but must be thoroughly cleaned before reinstalling the scrap screen. A clogged or restricted sump strainer will prevent the proper washing, rinsing, and draining of the machine. Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not spray the exterior with water or bleach. Leave the door open to aid in overnight drying.
