Do not add the detergent to the sink prior to or during filling.
Most detergents lose effectiveness with time. Some local health
departments have requirements limiting the amount of time water can be
used for cleaning before the water should be changed. Likewise, most
chemical companies recommend changing wash water after a certain time.
Those times vary, but are generally around four hours. Check with your
chemical provider and your local health department to know what the
requirements are for your application.
Introducing Silverware to the Pre-washing System
Place soiled silverware in the basket which rests in the top of the tank.
Observe the following points to obtain the most efficient pre-washing:
• Dirty silverware should be brought to the Power Soak in a timely
manner. Do not allow utensils to sit and air dry. The quicker that
items are brought to the pre-washer and placed in the basket, the
easier they are to clean.
• Do not arrange the silverware in the basket. Simply drop utensils
randomly into the basket.
• It is important not to overload the basket. Silverware should not
protrude out of the water during pre-washing. For operators who
choose to load the basket with silverware and then place the basket
in the pre-washer, do not load with silverware above the waterline.
If silverware is accidentally added to the pre-washer tank without the
basket in place, turn the unit off, drain the wash water, and remove the
silverware. Place the items in the basket, and refill the system as normal.
