Maintenance Tips

• Pre-scrape & rinse dishware: Remove food scraps and rinse plates/pots before loading to reduce soil load, prevent clogged filters, and lower detergent usage.

• Clean filters & spray arms daily: After each shift or every ~20–30 racks, turn off power, drain the tank, remove and rinse scrap screens/filters, and flush spray arms and nozzles to clear debris.

• Wipe interior surfaces: Clean the interior walls, doors, and tank with mild, non-abrasive detergent and a soft cloth; avoid steel wool or harsh scrubbers.

• Check water temperature & rinse pressure: Ensure wash/rinse cycles meet recommended temperatures and water pressure to maintain cleaning and sanitizing effectiveness.

• Maintain chemical levels: Refill and check detergent, sanitizer, and rinse-aid dispensers regularly for consistent cleaning performance.

• Inspect seals, gaskets, and conveyor components: Check door seals, hinges, belts, and rollers for wear; replace worn parts to prevent leaks, heat loss, or conveyor jams.

• Delime/Descale periodically: Schedule deliming or descaling cycles depending on water hardness to prevent mineral buildup on heating elements, spray arms, and plumbing.

• Regular full-cycle cleaning & inspection: Periodically drain, flush, and rinse the machine; inspect plumbing, pumps, and the conveyor drive for leaks, unusual noises, or wear.
