Operation of Machine
Initial Daily Startup
1.
Check if the inside of the machine has been properly cleaned since its last use. If not, clean
the machine (refer to
Final Clean-Up
on the following page for cleaning information).
2.
Make sure scrap tray screens and the pump inlet screens are in place.
WARNING:
Do not operate washer without all screens in place.
3.
Close the drain valve.
4.
Turn power switch to “ON” position, allow approximately 5 seconds for the internal logic
controller to power up, and push the
Auto Fill
button to fill the unit.
5.
Allow wash and rinse temperatures to come up to recommended levels.
6.
While machine is warming up, the first load can be prepared and placed in the machine. If the
pans are excessively dirty, they should be pre-soaked and scraped before being placed in
the rack. Pan preparation will reduce the need to change the wash water and will speed-up
the entire washing process. The correct manner for loading the racks is illustrated on the
drawings later in this manual.
7.
Once the machine has reached the recommended temperatures, detergent should be added to
the wash water. Detergent should be used according to the recommendations of the
chemical supplier. A non-suds detergent is necessary and local water conditions should be
considered when selecting the concentration of the detergent. An automatic soap dispenser
should be installed at the job site by the chemical supplier. There should be a visible or
audible means of determining detergent delivery. If they have any questions concerning
the installation of their dispenser to the LVO pan washer, they can call the factory for
advice (800-346-5749).
8.
The rack of pans can now be placed in the machine. The rack should be centered in the
machine to subject the pans to the full force of the spray arms. The hold-down rack should
be placed over the pans in the lowest position possible (see Hold-down drawing).
Note:
The hold-down rack is not designed for use as a shelf to support heavy objects.
WARNING:
Loose items and glassware should not be put in the washer. The high
pressure wash cycle will damage them and potentially the machine.
Bowls or buckets can be washed by placing them upside down on the main support rack
with the hold down rack installed above them in the lowest possible position.
The utensil basket is to be used to contain smaller items such as paddles, whisks, scrapers,
etc. The utensil basket may need to be held in place by the hold down rack to prevent it
from moving in the machine.
