2.1.Introduction to the GL-X
The GL-X Glasswasher is unique in its field; it has all the features of a standard commercial size machine packed into an under-counter, standalone glasswasher.
Operation of the GL-X is extremely easy. After initially filling the machine (see section 3.1.3 Filling the Machine), pressing the rocker Fill/Start switch to the “START” position begins the operation cycle, which runs automatically.
To reduce service time, all electrical components are mounted in a sliding drawer for easy access. This “Works-In-A-Drawer” can be removed by disconnecting wires on power block.
The only external connections necessary are the power source, water supply and drainpipe.
The optional sustainer heater with thermostat is extremely practical for maintaining wash tank temperature between cycles. The 1250-watt heater will hold the wash tank temperature between 130°F and 140°F when machine is not in operation.
The supply water to the GL-X 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 machine. The drain is a 1" NPT fitting located at the back of the machine 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 GL-X. 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 machine is packaged and what to look for when receiving the machine. After unpacking the machine, this manual explains how to install and set up the machine for use. Requirements are given for plumbing, wiring, and space considerations. Our well-trained sales representatives prior to the order being placed always take these attributes of the machine into consideration. In the manual, guidance is also given for operation to ensure that the machine 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 machine. The function of the machine itself is mostly automatic and takes little training to put into full operation. The Operation section also includes diagnostic considerations for the machine if problems occur.
The Maintenance section of the manual is for qualified personnel and provides trouble shooting procedures and specific maintenance instructions.
The final section of the manual is the Parts Manual. This section has the parts lists and wiring diagram for the machine.
CMA warranties the workmanship of the machine.
