2.1.Introduction to the L-1X and L-1X16

The L-1X and L-1X16 Dishmachines are unique in their field; they have all the features of a standard commercial size machine packed into an under-counter, standalone dishmachine.

Operation of the L-1X and L-1X16 are extremely easy. After initially filling the machine (see section 3.1.3 Filling the Machine), toggling the Fill/Start switch to the “START” position begins the Operational 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 unplugging a single connector for easy serviceability.

The only external connections necessary are the power source, water supply and drainpipe.

There are also accessories that can be chosen when desired such as the optional sustainer heater and 6” legs. The optional sustainer heater with thermostat is extremely practical for maintaining wash tank temperature between cycles. The 800 watt heater will hold the wash tank temperature between 130°F and 140°F while the machine is not being run. See section Error! Reference source not found. Error! Reference source not found. for the parts list and accessories available for the machine.

The supply water to the L-1X and L-1X16 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" barbed 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 L-1X and L-1X16. 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 dishmachine. 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. These attributes of the machine are always taken into consideration by our well-trained sales representatives prior to the order being placed.
