WASHING PARTS
The following procedure assumes that the heater is on
and the sump water is at operating temperature.
To wash parts, perform the following procedure.
WARNING: Hot, high-pressured cleaning solution
could cause serious injury. Always wear rubber
gloves and approved eye protection when loading
and unloading the machine.
Step 1:
Load parts into the machine.
Load large, heavy parts directly onto the turntable.
Secure large, light parts (valve covers for example)
to the turntable using suitable rubber tie-downs.
Load small, light parts into the small parts basket
provided with your machine.
NOTE: For optimum cleaning performance, provide
a slight clearance between parts to allow adequate flow
of cleaning solution around and between them.
Step 2:
Close and latch the door.
Step 3:
Set the wash cycle timer to between 1 and 60 minutes
for a timed wash cycle, or set it to Hold for a continu-
ous wash.
Step 4:
When the machine automatically stops (or after you
manually stop the wash cycle), open the door and wait
a few moments to allow the parts to cool and dry before
removing them. Most parts will flash-dry in seconds.
