Connecting the Water Services
A hot water supply must be attached to your Glassware Washer. In addition, a
purified water source must be connected to your washer if pure water rinses will
be required.
Connecting the Hot Water Supply
To prevent valve clogging, thoroughly flush the hot water lines for your hot water
supply source prior to connecting the washer to the water lines. The water supply
valve to which the hot water supply is connected is located on the back of the
washer base. The back panel of FreeStanding models must be removed to access
the valve.
You must provide the plumbing fittings and components needed to connect the
hot water supply source. The washer hot water supply valve is equipped with a
compression fitting for a .375" (9.53 mm) OD tube.
To connect the hot water supply:
1.
Be certain the hot water supply piping has been thoroughly flushed prior to
connecting it to the washer. Debris in the piping can clog the washer valve.
2.
Make the necessary plumbing connections to properly connect the hot water
supply to the washer.
3.
It may be necessary to place a loop in the supply tube to allow the washer to
be slid in or out of its operating position. Be careful not to kink the water
supply tube when the washer is placed into its final location. If kinking
occurs, it may be necessary to replace the straight fitting on the valve with an
elbow.
