Cma -s Owner's Manual

 

All machines are equipped with switches to prime the peristaltic pumps at anytime the master switch is 
"ON". 

Following completion of the installation, always fill the machine with water before starting it. 

Caution: Do not operate the dishmachine without the drain screen in place.  Debris getting into the 
pump impeller can damage the pump. 

 

Drain screen is in place 

 

Spray arms and end plugs are secure 

With the power “ON” hold the fill button until the water level is approximately ½” to ¾” below the 
overflow hole in the PVC standpipe.  The water level should be approximately even with the 
bottom edge of the splash guard in the sump area of the machine. 

•  Assure there is a sufficient supply of chemicals before beginning a shift. 
•  Check the chemical lines to the chemical containers.

a.  Red: detergent line. 

b.  Blue: rinse agent line. 

c.  Clear/White: sanitizer line. 

•  Activate the prime switches for the three chemical pumps until product is 

discharging into the machine. 

To start the machine close the doors - the machine will automatically start and run through its 
cycle.  Watch to ensure that the chemicals are delivered and stop during the cycle.  The amount 
of chemical delivered, whether it is detergent, sanitizer or rinse aid, is determined by its 
respective cam on the cam timer. 

•  Cam number 5 runs the detergent pump 
•  Cam number 6 runs the sanitizer pump 
•  Cam number 7 runs the rinse aid pump 

These cams were set at the factory but can be adjusted after final installation to maximize 
efficiency of chemical use .Check the water temperature at the end of the cycle for minimum 
120

°F, recommended  140°F (49/60°C). 

 

CAUTION: Excessive tightening of the cover plate screws may stall the motors on the new peristaltic 
pumps.  If a peristaltic pump does not turn when the micro switch is activated, loosen the screws on the 
cover plate.
