Final Installation Check List
Check to be sure power is OFF. The master switch is located on the back of the control box for all Top Mount
machines, under the control box on Front Mount machines, and on the side of the control box on Undercounters.
Open door and remove all packaging, save all instructions for future reference.
Remove protective film if present from doors, front panel, and control box.
Check dishtable placement, correct any binding or pinching caused to the dishmachine door guide by dishtables.
Turn on water supply. Check for leaks. Tighten connections if needed.
To operate, turn on main power circuit breaker and switch dishmachine master switch to ON position.
Remove spray arms and manually fill the machine with water using the fill switch (labeled FILL). This switch is located on
the side of the control box. Run one complete cycle by closing the doors (optional auto/start machine only) or pushing the
start switch (labeled start). This is your flush cycle, which removes installation debris from wash tank and pump. After
flushing, re-install the spray arms. These arms are interchangeable. Failure to follow this procedure can damage spray
arm bearings.
Observe the water level decal. This decal is located on the outside of the sump area next to the drain tube of the machine.
This mark is the approximate level for initial fill.
Verify incoming water temperatures 120 degrees F. minimum, 130 degrees F. for the AFB (130-140 degrees F.
recommended). Caution: Do not open doors while machine is in cycle. Doing so may result in
personal injury.
Inspect sump area and verify pump filter is in place.
Verify that chemical feed lines are in their proper container and that lines are primed.
Post an operational wall chart close to the machine.
Chemical Dispensers
ADS provides three (3) peristaltic pumps to dispense liquid chemicals
Chemical feed lines are color coded “Red” Detergent , “Green” Sanitizer, “Blue” Rinse-aid
Pick-up tubes are provided for chemical product containers
Sanitizer (chlorine) settings at 50 parts per million
Caution: Use only commercial grade low-energy chemicals. For proper operation, use non-foaming
detergents and buffered sanitizers. Do not wash gold, pewter, silver, or silverplate with chlorine based
sanitizers. High concentrations of chlorine sanitizers and caustic detergents will cause damage to metals and
welds. Do not exceed 100 parts per million (PPM) free chlorine.
Place color coded tubes into proper chemical containers. The containers need to be as close to the machine as
possible. This may require shortening of the flexible chemical transfer tube. On the control box, there are
chemical prime switches. There is a decal identifying each switch. To prime chemicals use these momentary
prime switches, verifying that all three pumps rotate. If a chemical pump squeeze tube has taken a set (not allowing
the pump to turn), manually free the pump by pulling on the discharge side (right-hand) of the squeeze tube while
pushing the prime switch.
Chemical dispensing is controlled by a mechanical cam timer. All chemical products must be adjusted for product’s
concentration and local water conditions. It will be necessary to adjust initial factory setting (See Cam Timer
Adjustment Section). Water softeners should be added to correct hard water conditions. Hard water can be treated
with expensive chemicals, but it is more effective and less expensive to soften the water before it comes to the
dishmachine.
Solid Chemical Products: ADS offers certain models with solid chemical dispensing for detergents and rinse
additives. These dispensers are mounted on the hood, in front of the control box. Each dispenser is controlled by
a water solenoid that is mounted in place of the liquid peristaltic pump. The initial signal comes from the cam
timer. An optional metering relay is available for high concentration rinse additives. Cold Water Products require a
separate water line connected to the 1/4” female compression fitting (provided). Hot Water Products require no
additional plumbing.
Warning: You must wear approved Personal Protective Equipment, including SAFETY EYE-
WEAR before connecting chemicals. Chemicals can destroy the plumbing and stainless of
the dishmachine. Do not run chemical lines over controls or plumbing. Always secure
chemical lines and check regularly for leaks.
