Fill Tank 1 and Tank 2 with water (
see note at the end of this section)
and the proper
dilution of soap to the top of each weir and make sure that each weir is 2/3 full.
Using hot water will shorten the amount of time required to reach the desired
temperature. Check drain assembly to insure that there is no leakage.
The Viking DX3
tank dimensions are 18” x 18” with a liquid depth of 15 ½” from the
top of the rack to the weir. This tank has an approximate liquid volume of 28 gallons.
This liquid volume includes the liquid in the overflow weir and the pump / filter
system. Use this volume for calculating the amount of detergent you will use.
If either weirs or machine tanks do not have enough water the pump will be
damaged and the machine will fail. Once the proper amount of water has reached
the low level sensor, just below the spray bar, it will be activated allowing the
machine to function properly.
Plug the power cord into a proper electrical outlet and press green
POWER
button.
Unlock each lid by pulling the hinge, located on the left side (Tank 1) and right side
(Tank 2) of each lid, towards yourself and close the lids over each tank to maximize
insulation efficiency
Set digital timer and temperature controls.
The Viking Products DX3 utilizes three (3) 900 Watt built-in silicone heating
elements in Tank 1 and three (3) 900 Watt built-in silicone heating elements in Tank
2. Both are well insulated. The time required to heat the tanks initially will vary
between four (4) and six (6) hours. The unit heats water at approximately fifteen (15)
degrees per hour. After the initial heating period, the temperature will remain
constant with very limited electrical draw. It is important that the lid remain closed
when not in use to minimize heat loss and evaporation.
