SECTION 3: OPERATION
MAIN OPERATING
COMPONENTS
Familiarize yourself with the main operating compo-
nents before operating the machine.
Control Panel
The control panel is located on the front center of the
lid. It contains the heater, wash cycle, turntable controls,
and low water indicator (See Figure Below).
Low Water Indicator
The low water indicator light illuminates if the wash
solution in the sump is low. For more information refer
to Low Water Shut-off System.
Turntable Switch
The turntable switch is an illuminated rocker switch that
enables you to disconnect power to the turntable motor.
Set to ON, the turntable rotates during the wash cycle.
Set to OFF, the turntable does not rotate during the
wash cycle. The switch is useful for washing large parts
that would otherwise impede turntable rotation.
Heater Control
The heater control is an illuminated rocker switch. It
controls the heating element in the sump chamber.
The heater control illuminates when the heating sys-
tem is on. The heating system is thermostatically set
at the factory to reach a high temperature of 180 °F
(Excludes 120V Version 1.043-356.0). The temperature is
adjustable using the thermostat (See Thermostat).
NOTE: The machines contain an internal power relay
that automatically disconnects power to the heater
when the pump turns on; the heater and pump cannot
run simultaneously (120V only). After long wash cycles
it may be necessary to let the machine sit idle for a
period of time to allow the wash solution to reheat to
operating temperature.
Wash Cycle Control
The wash cycle control is a timer switch. When set, the
timer automatically shuts off the pump and turntable
when the wash cycle is complete.
Thermostat
The thermostat is located inside pump enclosure. The
thermostat is factory-set to heat the wash solution to
a maximum temperature of 180°F (Excludes 120V
Version 1.043-356.0).
Adjusting the Thermostat
To adjust the thermostat, rotate the adjustment screw
or knob clockwise to increase the temperature, or
counterclockwise to decrease the temperature (See
Figure Below).
24-hour, 7-day Heater Timer
A 24-hour, 7-day heater timer is available as an option
on these machines. The timer plugs directly into a 15-
amp outlet and automatically cycles the heating system
on and off each day. To configure the timer, refer to the
instructions printed on the back of the timer housing.
To order a 24-hour, 7-day heater timer, contact your
distributor or call customer service.
Lid Safety Switch
The lid safety switch is located behind the front left
lip of the lid, just below the control panel (See Figure
Below). The safety switch disconnects power to the
water pump and the turntable motor if the lid is raised
during operation.
