Dishwashing Procedures forbestresults
Note: these are general instructions to assist in getting the best performance from Starline dishwashers – some
comments and / or illustrations may not apply to every unit.
Installation
Read the Operator Manual. Correct installation, including an adequate supply of
water at the correct temperature and pressure is essential for effective operation of
your machine. Refer installation instructions for details. Drain hose outlet height
is important on some models. Always install on a sound self-draining floor.
Water softening is recommended in hard water areas - especially for glasswashing.
Pre-rinsing
Pre-scraping of dishes is required by hygiene regulations.
The best method is to pre-rinse with a pre-rinse spray unit -
or alternatively by scraping or dunking in water.
Cutlery Procedures
Pre-soak cutlery in warm water, preferably containing cutlery
pre-soak compound - refer your chemical supplier.
Do not overfill cutlery containers. Cutlery should be loose with
handles down. Sort after washing rather than before. Cutlery
of only one type nests together and obscures wash water.
Racking Procedures
Do not overload racks, minimize the overlap
of crockery. Cycle times are short and water
consumption per cycle low - so there is no
advantage in overloading racks.
Cycle Times
For multi-cycle machine use the longest
cycle whenever possible. Note that water
consumption does not increase with
longer cycles. Only choose shorter, faster
cycles when necessary.
Detergent
Use of correct type and quantity of low foaming commercial grade
detergent is essential to the performance of the machine. We
strongly recommend that you use a professional dishmachine
chemical supplier - and will be pleased to recommend a supplier in
your region. Discuss with them the use of cutlery pre-soak
solution, detergent and drying agent.
Dishwashing Procedures forbestresults
Drying
Single tank commercial dishwashers do not have a drying
cycle. However, the machines do rinse at high temperatures
which promote fast drying particularly when drying agents are
used. We recommend prompt removal of the rack from the
machine - leave the rack on the bench for 2 to 3 minutes
before emptying. This time will be reduced with correct use
of drying agent (rinse fluid) which reduces water surface
tension and allows water to drain quickly from washware.
For advice on drying agents and injectors refer to your
chemical supplier.
Daily Cleaning
It is essential that the machine is drained and cleaned at the end of each day. Drain
the machine then remove, clean and replace filters as per the operating
instructions. Regularly check the wash and rinse jets and clean them if necessary –
see below.
Regular Cleaning
Remove scrap trays1and wash pump inlet filter2, where
fitted, and rinse or brush clean.
Remove wash and rinse arms by undoing the central
thumbscrews3. If necessary, remove the end cap screws4
from the wash arms and the end screws5from the rinse
arms and flush the arms with water and/or use a toothpick or
paperclip to clear jets.
Note: arms and filters vary with model and may appear
different from this illustration e.g. those models with plastic
wash arms have removable jets for ease of cleaning.
Regular Servicing
Regular servicing of the dishwasher is absolutely essential to
keep the machine in top working condition and obtain the
best performance.
Please contact Washtech or your Authorised Service
Provider to organize regular servicing of the dishwasher -
discuss a Preventative Maintenance Agreement for optimum
performance and long machine life.
Note: these are general instructions to assist in getting the best performance from Starline dishwashers – some
comments and / or illustrations may not apply to every unit.
