2.1.Introduction to CMA-180

The CMA-180 is a hot water sanitizing, single rack, door-type dishmachine. It is a stand-alone machine featuring a self-contained booster heater (optional). The only external connections necessary are power supply, water supply, drainpipe, and chemical dispensers. The machine utilizes recirculated wash water and fresh water final rinse. The CMA-180 can be converted both as a straight through and corner with a door handle kit.

Operation of the CMA-180 is automatic. When the door is opened and then closed, the wash cycle begins automatically. To initially fill the machine daily, open the hand operated fill valve on the top of the machine. The machine is full when water begins to flow into the scrap trap. The wash tank heater will maintain the wash water temperature at 155°F. The booster heater will produce a minimum of 180°F final rinse water each cycle.

This manual is structured to provide a complete reference guide to the CMA-180. It is presented in a manner that all users will be able to comprehend and use as an effective tool in supporting the operation and maintenance of the dishmachine.
