DISHWASHING

Scrape the dishes to remove large particles of food and debris. Never use steel wool on ware to be loaded into the dishmachine.

Fig. 13

Stack the dishes in a rack. Do not stack dishes one on top of another as water must have free access to all sides of every dish. Stand plates and dishes up edgewise in a peg-type rack (Fig. 13). Cups, glasses, and bowls should be inverted in an open-type or compartment type rack (Fig. 13). Silverware and other small pieces may be scattered loosely over the bottom of a flat bottom rack.

DO NOT allow foreign objects to enter the unit, especially metallic contaminants.

The dishwasher can be operated automatically or manually by setting the cycle switch in the desired position.

When the CYCLE SWITCH (Fig. 12) is set on AUTOMATIC, the wash and rinse cycles begin automatically. The wash cycle is initiated when the machine doors are closed. The rinse cycle begins when the wash cycle is completed. NOTE: When the CYCLE SWITCH is set on AUTOMATIC, the WASH / RINSE switch (Fig. 12) must be OFF.

When the CYCLE SWITCH is set on MANUAL, the wash cycle is initiated by placing the WASH / RINSE switch in the WASH position. After the desired wash time (minimum 40 seconds recommended), hold the WASH / RINSE switch in the RINSE position for the desired rinse time (minimum 18 seconds recommended).

After filling a rack, open the appropriate doors, slide the rack into the dishwasher, and close the doors. If the cycle switch is set on AUTOMATIC, the wash cycle will begin automatically.

Throughout the wash cycle, the tank water temperature will be displayed on the control box readout, along with the word WASH. During the rinse cycle, the rinse water temperature will be displayed, along with the word RINSE. When the rinse cycle is completed, the readout will display the tank water temperature.

When the wash and rinse cycles are finished, open the doors, remove the clean dishes, slide in another rack, and close the doors.

If you want to add a dish after the wash cycle has started, turn off the power switch and wait 10 seconds to allow wash arm coastdown and avoid water splashing before opening the doors.
