— 15 —
Automatic Start (Optional)
When the dishwasher is equipped with this feature, a cycle
is initiated automatically when the door closes.
Manual Start (Standard)
To start a cycle on a unit equipped with the manual start
feature, the operator must close the door and press the
start button to initiate a cycle.
Tank Selection
(Optional on DD-8 only)
On two tank units, this feature allows the operator to
choose either the left, right of both tanks to operate
during each cycle. A choice of one of the single tanks can
be cycled during non-rush periods. It also wil allow the
use of one side if the other side is disabled.

Soiled Dishtable Operation
To increase speed and efficiency and reduce breakage,
a few simple rules need to be observed:
• All food must be removed from dishware before
placing them in stacks. This will maintain cleaner
wash water and reduce detergent usage.
• Stackable ware, such as dishes and trays, should have
food debris removed and be placed in manageable
stacks. A “buildup” area should be designated for
these stacks until dish racks are filled.
• Items such as coffee cups, glasses and bowls, do not
stack well and should be placed directly into racks
for transport.
• When racks are filled, they should be kept in the
buildup area until they can be washed.
• Good organization is key to speed and efficiency in
dish room operation, as well as reduced breakage.
• Silverware should be presoaked in a sink or other
container to keep food particles from drying out.
Silverware should then be placed in an appropriate
rack and sent through the dishwasher.
Note: When placing silverware in flat racks, it is important
not to overload. The silverware should be spread
out evenly in the rack so the surfaces are exposed
and can be cleaned by the spray of the dishwasher.
Note: As much as possible, keep soil from entering the
dishwasher. This will help maintain cleaner wash
water and reduce detergent usage.
Loading the Dishwasher
As much as possible, wash similar dishes at the same time.
This reduces sorting once the dishes have been cleaned.
When several racks in the buildup area have been filled,
run them through the dishwasher one after the other.
This will allow the loading operator to return to scrapping
and stacking.
For optimum results from a DD-8, two-tank dishwasher,
consider using one side exclusively for glasses and
silverware and the other side for more soiled ware, such
as plates and bowls.
