HOW TO RUN A WASH CYCLE
Detergent Recommendations
Use only detergents or wetting agents intended for use in glass–
ware washers (such as
Heikol
detergent). Heikol detergent and
neutralizing products are described on page 33.
Any detergent loaded into the
PRE-WASH DETERGENT
COMPARTMENT
(illustrated on page 20) seeps into the chamber
early during cycles. Detergent loaded into the
MAIN WASH
DETERGENT COMPARTMENT
is released at the start of the
Main Wash phase.
For the RINSE-ONLY cycle, do not load detergent in the detergent
dispenser. The RINSE-ONLY cycle does not dose neutralizer.
The QUICK-WASH cycle doses neutralizer only if HR is selected.
If your facility’s water has a high hardness level, you may need
to use more detergent. NOTE: Too much detergent may cause
glassware etching. Check with the local water department if unsure
about your facility’s water hardness level.
Before Starting a Cycle
1.
Open any tap and/or deionized water supply shut-off
valve(s), and turn ON any switch or circuit breaker
supplying AC voltage to the washer.
2.
CLW-128i Only
: If optional spindle rack operation is desired,
remove both standard open racks and replace them with either
upper and lower spindle racks or with one tall spindle rack.
As described on page 22, adjust collar gap before first use.
3.
Choose basket and insert accessories appropriate for the
type of load (test tube baskets for test tubes, for example).
A list of available accessories appears on page 33.
4.
Load objects concave side down, preventing items from
protruding into the path of the spray arm(s).
5.
Load the Detergent / Neutralizer Dispenser as desired
(see page 18 if you need information on how to load the
dispenser). Latch the Detergent Door closed when done.
6.
Firmly push the door closed to securely latch it. Cycles
cannot begin until the door is securely latched.
