GETTING THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR DISHWASHER
1.
Hot Water Supply
An adequate supply of water at the correct temperature and pressure is essential for
effective operation of your machine. An inadequate hot water supply will result in significant
time delays between operating cycles. Refer Installation information for detail. Water
softening is recommended in hard water areas - especially for glasswashing.
2.
Pre-rinsing
Pre-scraping of dishes is required by Food Hygiene Regulations. The best method is to pre-
rinse with warm water with a Fisher Pre-rinse Unit - or alternatively by scraping or dunking in
water. Cutlery should be pre-soaked in warm water, preferably containing cutlery pre-soak
compound - refer your chemical supplier.
3.
Racking Procedures
Do not overload racks or cutlery containers, minimise the overlap of crockery. Cycle times
are short and water consumption per cycle low - so there is no advantage in overloading
racks.
4.
Cycle Times
With multi-cycle machines select cycle 3 initially and switch to faster cycles only if
necessary. Note that water consumption does not increase with longer cycles. For best
results use the longest cycle whenever possible.
5.
Detergent
Use of correct type and quantity of detergent is essential to the performance of the machine.
Low foam specialty products are recommended. We strongly recommend that you use a
professional dishmachine chemical supplier - and will be pleased to recommend a supplier
in your region. Discuss with them the use of cutlery pre soak solution, detergent and drying
agent.
6.
Drying
Single tank commercial dishwashers do not have a drying cycle. However, the machines do
rinse at high temperatures which promote fast drying particularly when drying agents are
used. We recommend prompt removal of the rack from the machine - leave the rack on the
bench for 2 to 3 minutes before emptying. This time will be reduced with correct use of
drying agent (rinse fluid) which reduces water surface tension and allows water to drain
quickly from washware. For advice on drying agents and injectors refer to your chemical
supplier.
7.
Daily Cleaning
It is essential that the machine is drained and cleaned at the end of each day. Drain the
machine then remove, clean and replace filters as per the operating instructions. Regularly
check the wash and rinse jets. Remove wash and rinse arms by undoing the central
thumbscrew. (DO NOT remove the thumbscrew retainer plate if fitted). Flush arms with
water and use a toothpick or paperclip, if necessary, to clear jets. On some models
individual jets can be removed for cleaning by twisting anticlockwise. To remove the end
plugs on these arms first remove the end jet then withdraw end plug. To flush the machine,
leave the drain upstand out, close the door and switch the machine on for about 20 seconds.
DO NOT leave the machine unattended during this process.
