3.8 Water Supply Connections
CAUTION
Before connecting the water supply lines, they
MUST be flushed clean of all debris, including
(but not limited to) pipe sealant, metal
particles, solder, etc. This debris can damage
the appliance.
IMPORTANT
In some cases, local codes dictate that water
supply connections be made only by a
certified professional.
The water supply connections for the waste
pulper are located behind an access panel
on the front of the machine. Both connections
are 3/4” male NPT. See Figures 3-3 and 3-5.
1. Check that iron or other metal particles
cannot contaminate the fresh water
supplied to the dishwasher.
2. Check the incoming water temperature.
•
The dual valve connection, located
closest to the front of the machine, is
used for the recirculating water supply,
and should use cold water (50°F/10°C
recommended).
•
The single valve connection, located
behind the dual valve connection, is
used as a warm water rinse for the
dewatering press. It should use warm
water (110-140°F/42-60°C).
3. Check the incoming water hardness.
Meiko recommends a hardness of 4-6
grains per U.S. gallon for proper operation
and to minimize lime scale buildup.
4. Because the water inlets incorporate dirt
traps, additional traps are unnecessary
unless required by local, national or
international codes.
5. Connect the customer-supplied water
line(s) to the appropriate connection(s).
