INSTALLATION
Visual Inspection
Before installing the unit, inspect the shipping container and machine for damage. A damaged container
may indicate there is damage to the machine. If there is damage to both the container and machine, do
not throw away the container. The dishwasher has been inspected and packed at the factory and is
expected to arrive in an undamaged condition. However, rough handling by carriers or others may
result in damage to the unit while in transit. If such a situation occurs, do not return the unit to
Blakeslee; instead, contact the carrier and ask them to send a representative to the site to inspect the
damage to the unit and to complete an inspection report. You must contact the carrier within 48 hours
of receiving the machine. Also, contact the dealer where you purchased the unit.
Unpacking the Dishwasher
Once the machine has been removed from the container, make sure that there are no parts missing
from the machine. This may not be obvious at first. If an item is missing, contact Blakeslee immediately
to have the missing item shipped to you.
Leveling the Dishwasher
The dishwasher must be level to operate correctly. This allows the door to open and close properly and
ensures the best results while washing. The unit comes with adjustable feet. Ensure that the unit is
level from side to side and from front to back before making any service connections.
Plumbing the Dishwasher
All plumbing connections must comply with all applicable local, state, and national plumbing codes. The
installing plumber must flush the incoming water line thoroughly prior to connecting it to the dishwasher.
Any valves that are fouled as a result of foreign matter left in the water line, and any expenses resulting
from this fouling, are not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
Fill/Rinse
Final Rinse water is used to fill the dishwasher’s booster and wash tank. The water supply must have
an incoming water temperature of 140°F with a dynamic flow pressure of 15 to 25 PSI at the
dishwasher.
If the incoming water supply pressure is below the required 15 PSI, an optional pressure booster pump
will be required. If the incoming water supply pressure is greater than 25 PSI, a pressure reducing valve
will be needed.
Drains
Drain connections must comply with all local and national code requirements.
Connect the tank drain to the building drain connection using 1/2 inch hose with 3/4 NPT fitting.
