PERATION
4.4 Operation
Press the START/DRAIN key to
begin the selected cycle. The
key will not work unless the light
above the selected POWER/
CYCLE SELECT key has
stopped flashing.
You can also begin the selected cycle by
pushing down
on the door
handle, and
then releasing
it.
The dishwasher will begin a wash and rinse
cycle. The
Soft Start
feature pumps the water
through the arms slowly for the first few
seconds of the cycle to protect the ware. After
a few seconds, full pressure will engage.
The time of the total cycle will be at least as
long as the times shown on the machine’s serial
plate. When using a cold water supply, the
machine will automatically extend the wash
cycle if necessary until the final rinse water
can be heated to the correct temperature.

PTIONAL
4.5 Between Cycles
Between cycles, leave the door of the machine
closed. If the door is left open, the wash tank
water will cool. This will activate the tank heaters,
consuming extra energy, and may lengthen the
recovery time when another cycle is started.
If necessary, you can choose a different cycle
length between cycles by pressing any of the
POWER/CYCLE SELECT keys.
When you are ready to start a new cycle, refer
to Section 4.3, “Loading.”

begin cycle
When the cycle has completed, the
dishwasher will stop operating and sound a
three-stage beeping tone. After the tone has
sounded, you may open the door and unload
the dishware. Note that steam escapes when
the door is opened; this is normal.
WARNING!
Use caution when handling hot
dishware.
4.6 Shutdown
At the end of the shift, press the
STOP/OFF key.
Press the START/DRAIN key to
empty the tank.
After the water has drained, the dishwasher will
enter a self-cleaning mode. The interior will be
sprayed with hot, fresh water as the booster
tank empties. When this is completed, the drain
will “pulse” several times to empty the water
and the dishwasher will automatically shut off.
WARNING!
DO NOT open the door of the
dishwasher during the self-cleaning
process! The process will be
interrupted and hot water may spray
out of the dishwasher.
After the dishwasher has finished its self-
cleaning cycle, open the door. Remove any
food particles, scraps or bones from the scrap
screens. MEIKO recommends that the door
of the dishwasher be left open overnight to
allow it to air thoroughly.
