2.Turn on the power to the dishmachine.

3.Open the fill-valve and fill the machine until it overflows out of the pre-wash tank into the scrap tray or, if the Auto Fill option is present, press the AUTO FILL switch to fill the machine with water.

4.Turn the heater on. The temperature of the water in the tank should be

140°F – 150°F. The Tank heater will maintain a minimum temperature of 140° F if the final rinse is providing 140°F – 150°F at all times (CMA-66L). 150°F minimum will be maintained if the final rinse is 180°F – 195°F (CMA- 66H).

If the thermostat (located behind the stainless steel cover on the final rinse side of the machine) should need adjustment—there is a thermostat adjustment access hole located on the cover.

Tip: If you are having difficulty maintaining wash tank temperature, minimize the vent hood openings by closing off the dampers.

5.Be sure to place the dishes correctly. If they become dislodged, they could interfere with the trip switch lever and interrupt the operation of the machine.
