Detergent usage and water hardness are two factors that contribute greatly to how
efficiently this machine operates. Using detergent in the proper amount can become
a source of substantial savings. A qualified water treatment specialist can determine
what is needed for maximum efficiency from the detergent.
1.
Hard water greatly affects the performance of the machine, causing the amount
of detergent required for washing to increase. If the machine is installed in an
area with hard water, the manufacturer recommends the installation of water
treatment equipment.
2.
Deposited solids from hard water can cause spotting that will not be removed
with a drying agent. Treated water will reduce this occurence.
3.
Treated water might not be suitable for use in other areas of operation and it
might be necessary to install a water treatment unit for the water going to the
machine only. Discuss this option with a qualified water treatment specialist.
4.
Machine operators should be properly trained on how much detergent is to be
used per cycle. Meet with a water treatment specialist and detergent vendor to
discuss a complete training program for operators.
5. Certain machine models require that chemicals be provided for proper operation.
Some models might require the installation of third-party chemical feeders
to introduce those chemicals to the machine. The manufacturer does not
recommend or endorse any brand name of chemicals or chemical dispensing
equipment. Contact a chemical supplier for questions.
6.
Some machines come equipped with integral solid detergent dispensers.
These dispensers are designed to accommodate detergents in a certain-sized
container. If applicable, relate this to a chemical supplier upon first contacting
them.
7. Water temperature is an important factor in ensuring that the machine functions
properly, and the machine's data plate details what the minimum temperatures
must be for the incoming water supply, the wash tank, and the rinse tank. If
minimum requirements are not met, there is a possibility that dishes will not be
clean or sanitized.
8. Instruct machine operators to observe the required temperatures and to report
when they fall below the minimum allowed. A loss of temperature can indicate a
larger problem.
