Operating the Dishwasher
Once the wash tank has been filled and the detergent
added (for units with optional Wash Cycle Timer, set the
wash cycle time to 1, 2, 4 or 6 minutes), raise the hood
and slide the rack (or racks for DD-8) into the dishwasher.
Lower the hood. The dishwasher has a safety switch that will
prevent the machine from operating if the hood is open.

For machines with the optional automatic start feature,
the cycle will start when the hood is closed. For machines
with manual start, close the hood and momentarily press
the Start button to initiate a cycle. The cycle light will
illuminate and remain on during the cycle. When the cycle
is complete, the light will turn off and the hood can be
opened and the dish racks removed.

For units with standard timer, when the hood is opened,
the cycle will stop. The cycle will resume at the stopping
point when the hood is closed.
For units with the automatic start feature, if the hood is
opened during a cycle, another complete cycle will be
initiated when the hood is closed. This provides a complete
cycle to assure proper cleaning and rinsing.
WARNING
To avoid being splashed, allow at least 5 seconds
before opening the hood after the cycle is completed.
Shutdown and Cleaning
An important part of maintaining the dishwasher is
keeping it clean. A thorough cleaning before shutting the
unit down will help keep it working at peak performance.
Shutdown
1. Place the main power switch in the OFF (down)
position.
2. Drain the wash tank(s) by turning the drain valve
handle(s) counter-clockwise until it stops.
Cleaning
1. With the hood fully open, and the scrap screen still
in place, wash down and thoroughly rinse the dish
tables.
2. Remove the scrap screens and empty them. Take them
to a sink and clean them using a suitable brush. Make
sure all debris is removed. Rinse thoroughly and place
them on a dish table
Note: Do not hit the sides of the scrap screens on a trash
container. Damage to the flanges will not allow
them to seat properly in the dishwasher, permitting
food debris to pass into the wash tank.
3. Inspect the rotating wash arms for blockage of any
opening and free rotation. Remove and clean as
needed. (See MAINTENANCE section of this manual.)
4. Lift the retainer on the standpipe guide. Remove
standpipe and screen and clean thoroughly with an
appropriate brush.
