STERO SD3 DOOR-TYPE DISHWASHER |
3
The SD3 dishwasher can be configured for both straight through or corner operation. SD3 dishwashers are
shipped from the factory in straight-through configuration. Straight-through machines can easily be converted
to corner operation.
SD3 dishwashers are designed to operate in one of two modes: Hot water sanitizing mode (designated by the
letters “SH” or “SP” on the display when the machine is turned on), or a chemical sanitizing mode (designated
by the letters “SC” on the display when the machine is turned on).
The serial number can be found on the machine data plate located on the bottom of the front panel. The pump
motor is rated 2 H.P. and has thermal overload protection.
DO NOT attempt to operate this dishwasher in the chemical sanitizing mode without a properly installed, NSF
Certified, chemical sanitizer feeder (customer supplied). Contact an authorized detergent representative for
information about a chemical sanitizer feeder.
The fill line incorporates an atmospheric vacuum breaker to prevent any reverse flow of water from the dish-
washer into the potable water supply. The unit, once turned on, fills the wash tank to the appropriate level
and automatically stops filling once the level is reached. A float, located in the wash tank, shuts off the heat
supply if the water level becomes too low. When the water returns to the proper level, the heating circuit is
again operational.
A frame-mounted 8.5 kW electric booster water heater is available as an option for models equipped with
electric tank heat. For SD3 models, the booster water heater is designed to maintain a minimum final rinse
temperature of 180°F provided the incoming water to the booster heater is at least 110°F.
High-temperature SD3 models typically require a hood or vent over the dishwasher to meet local codes.
Low-temperature chemical sanitizing machines or low usage electric heat dishwashers may not require individ-
ual venting of the machine if the room is amply exhausted. Refer to page 9 for venting and hood requirements.
Verify with local codes for final authority.
