CAUTION

POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

Always position manifold rack over the manifold connector before operating

washer/disinfector. If manifold rack and/or bottom rotary spray arm assembly are not

positioned correctly, damage may result and washer/disinfector will be unable to

effectively wash load.

Always select a cycle appropriate for the items being processed. Failure to do so may

result in product damage.

Non-manifolded one-level racks are not appropriate for high pump speed.

Suction tips (as well as other items) must be fully enclosed within the accessory (curved

suction tips facing inward) to prevent obstruction in conveyor system.

Use nonabrasive cleaners when cleaning unit. Follow directions on containers and rub in

a back-and-forth motion (in same direction as surface grain). Abrasive cleaners will

damage stainless steel. Cleaners rubbed in a circular motion or applied with a wire

brush or steel wool on door and chamber assemblies can be harmful to stainless steel.

Do not use these cleaners on painted surfaces.

When choosing a detergent, select one with a low-chloride content. Detergents with a

high-chloride content must not be used, as such detergents may harm stainless steel.

Wipe all plastic surfaces or painted surfaces with 70% isopropyl alcohol cleaner (such as

glass or countertop cleaners).
