Dishwashing Procedures
for best results
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.
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 and clean them if necessary –
see below.
Regular Cleaning
Remove scrap trays 1 and wash pump inlet filter 2 , where
fitted, and rinse or brush clean.
Remove wash and rinse arms by undoing the central
thumbscrews
3 . If necessary, remove the end cap screws 4
from the wash arms and the end screws
5
from the rinse
arms and flush the arms with water and/or use a toothpick or
paperclip to clear jets.
Note: arms and filters vary with model and may appear
different from this illustration e.g. those models with plastic
wash arms have removable jets for ease of cleaning.
Regular Servicing
Regular servicing of the dishwasher is absolutely essential to
keep the machine in top working condition and obtain the
best performance.
Please contact Washtech or your Authorised Service
Provider to organize regular servicing of the dishwasher -
discuss a Preventative Maintenance Agreement for optimum
performance and long machine life.
Note: these are general instructions to assist in getting the best performance from Starline dishwashers – some
comments and / or illustrations may not apply to every unit.
