SET-UP
General
Place the machine on a level surface.
Be sure the drain valve (located at the back of the machine) is completely closed
(handle perpendicular to the drain) before filling the machine.
Fill the wash tank with water (
see note at the end of this section)
and the proper
dilution of soap until the machine is 2/3 full. Using hot water will shorten the amount
of time required to reach the desired temperature. Check drain assembly to insure
that there is no leakage.
The Model 1420BTD tank dimensions are 15” x 21” with a 12” working depth. This
tank will hold 16 gallons and has a working volume of approximately 14 gallons. Use
this volume for calculating the amount of detergent you will use.
If the machine does not have enough water the machine will fail.
Plug the power cord into a proper electrical outlet and press green
POWER
button.
Unlock the lid by pulling the hinge, located on the right side of the lid, towards
yourself and close the lid over the tank to maximize insulation efficiency
Set digital timer and temperature controls.
The OMG-1420BTD utilizes (1) 900 Watt built-in silicone heating element and is well
insulated. The time required to heat the machine initially will vary between one (1)
and three (3) hours. The unit heats water at approximately fifteen (15) degrees per
hour. After the initial heating period, the temperature will remain constant with very
limited electrical draw. It is important that the lid remain closed when not in use to
minimize heat loss and evaporation.
*Note About Water*
The quality of your water source can have an important effect on the performance of the ultrasonic
equipment. High levels of calcium, magnesium, sulfur and other contaminants in the water source can
have a negative effect on the type of cleaning soap used. High levels of calcium and/or magnesium
(constitutes hard water) can cause the soap to work less efficiently and less effectively as intended and
can also leave a white, flaky residue on the parts once dried. If this white spotting occurs and is not
desired, it will be necessary to use soft water, drinking water or distilled water, in the machine. The level
of final cleanliness will dictate the water source used in the machine.
