IMPORTANT - High concentrations of
chlorine sanitizers and caustic
detergents will cause damage to metals
and welds. Do not wash glasses
trimmed with gold or silver with chlorine
based sanitizers. Do not exceed 75
ppm free chlorine. Adjust detergents for
light glasswasher soil loads and low
water consumption. Glasswasher
chemical settings are roughly half of
normal dishmachine settings.
Component failure due to excessive
chemical use is not covered under the
ADS warranty.

Important: The glasswasher master switch must be in the OFF position
before connecting power. This switch is located on the front of the
glasswasher. It is the black switch located on the front left side. The OFF
position is to the LEFT.
The power supply (120 volt - 15 amps) must consist of two (2) 12-14 AWG copper wiresand a suitable ground.
Wiring must be 2 wire with ground and rated for 90 degree Centigrade (194 degree Fahrenheit). The 15 amp breaker
or fuse must be on a clean circuit to the machine. ADS has provided a 3-prong electrical power cord for connection.
Install to an approved 3-prong grounded recepticle. This glasswasher must be connected to a 15 or 20 amp. circuit
breaker or fuse. If the electrical supply does not meet the above requirements, call a licensed electrician before
proceeding.
Warning: The improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt that
the glasswasher is properly grounded. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug with this
machine.
Electrical
Plumbing
Connect to Water Supply
Important: Before installing, check local plumbing codes. Flush water line before connecting to glasswasher.
Prior to plumbing the glasswasher, level machine by adjusting feet at the bottom of each leg, up or down.
WaterHeatersorboilersmust provide120 degreeF. minimum(130-140 degreeF. recommended)to theglasswasher.
Recoverycapacity ofthewaterheater mustmeet theglasswasher’shourly usagerate (57GPH)as wellas allotherhot
waterneeds.
Caution: Do not exceed water tempertures above 150 degrees F. Residentialhotwater heatersare notsufficient for
commercial application. Typical On-Demand or “Flash Heaters” do not have flow rates capable of supplying commercial
dishwashers.
Connect 1/2” MPT water supply line to 1/2” FPT on the fresh water inlet manifold. Access to water inlet is located
under the glasswasher, seven (7”) inches from the front right corner. Supply water must be 120 degree F. minimum (130-
140degreeF. recommended)from primaryheat source. Buildingsource watersupply mustbeat aminimum of15 PSI
flow during fill (water solenoid open). Glasswasher is equipped with a control float.
Control Float: The controlfloat preventsthemachine fromstarting withoutsufficient water. Water flowissues willdelay
cycle until control float senses sufficient water in the tank. Caution: Control float (white) is secured on the float stem
by a retaining clip. White float has a clear end that allows visual viewing of magnets. These magnets must be in
the down position on the float stem. Glasswasher will not start if the float is installed upside down.
Water Pressure (Flow) Problems: Water pressure below 15 PSI flow will require additional measures to resolve low
pressure issues. To resolve water pressure problems, increase supply pipe diameter or run a dedicated 1/2” supply
line directly from hot water heater. If problem persists, suggest installing a pressure bladder tank with a 2 gallon minimum

Drain Requirements for Glasswashers
Follow local codes and ordinances
Donot exceed5 feet distanceto drain.
Drain line is 1 1/2” O.D.
Glasswasher drain (1 1/2” Plastic Tube) protrudes through the bottom of the cabinet floor on the right front corner (drain is
directly in front of the water inlet connection). This drain can be rotated to either side. Drain lines must be 1 1/2” minimum.
Do not plumb with tight elbows or 180 degree bends.
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) settingsat 50 partsper million
Caution:Use only commercial grade low-energy chemicals. For proper operation, use non-foaming detergents and
bufferedsanitizers. NOTE: Do not use chlorinated detergents. Placecolor codedtubesinto properchemical
containers. Gallon containers (round or square) can be stored behind the door in the glasswasher cabinet. On the
side of 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 chemical pump squeeze tube
hastaken aset (notallowing thepump toturn), manuallyfree thepump byturning thechemical pumprotor. Chemical
pump covers have a center hole for rotor access.
Chemicaldispensing iscontrolled bya mechanicalcam timer. Allchemical productsmust beadjustedforproduct’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.
CAUTION: High concentrations of chlorine sanitizers and caustic detergents will cause
damage to metals and welds. Do not wash glasses trimmed with gold or silver with
chlorine based sanitizers. Do not exceed 75 parts per million free chlorine. Adjust
detergents for light glasswasher soil loads and low water consumption. Glasswasher
chemical settings are roughly half of normal dishmachine chemical settings.
Warning: You must wear approved personal protective equipment, including SAFETY EYE-
WEAR before connecting chemicals. Chemicals can destroy the plumbing and stainless of the
glasswasher. Do not run chemical lines over controls or plumbing. Always secure chemical
lines and check regularly for leaks.

Chemical and Controls Set-up

Cam Timer Adjustment - ASQ Glasswasher
Timer 75 second - 7 cam
Cycle time is not adjustable
Timer cams (wheels) are fixed or adjustable. The first three cams (white) are fixed. Each cam controls a specific function as
noted on the timer decal. Adjustable cams are comprised of two wheels. The outer edge of each wheel (half) has a high and
lowsegment. Whenthe wheelsare rotated, thetwo lowsegmentscan forma notch. Above eachcam isatimer switchwith
a metal finger that rides on the cam. When the finger drops into the cam notch, the function of that cam begins. To widen
(length = time) or close the notch, use timer adjustment tool provided. This tool has two raised buttons that fit into the holes
on each wheel. The factory sets the start of each function using the right-side of the cam. TO ADJUST, rotate only the
left-side cam wheel. The left-side of the wheel controls when that specific functions stops.
These cams are located on the timer starting from the timer’s left continuing to the right.
#1 Cam: The white cam on your left is the master cam. It controls the total time of the cycle and is not adjustable.
#2 Cam: This white cam is the motor reversing cam. It is not adjustable.
#3 Cam: This white cam controls the drain. It is not adjustable.
#4 Cam: The H2O or fill cam opens the water solenoid. Too little water causes the pump to surge. Overfilling does not allow
all the water to drain between cycles, causing carry-over. Adjusting only the left-side of cam wheel, set the cam to close
the water solenoid when the glasswasher reaches full sprayarm pressure.
Float operation: If the water pressure is low, the control float in the tank will delay the operation of the cam timer during the
fill function, until a minimum water level is achieved. Once that level is achieved, the control float will rise, the contacts will
close,andthe camtimer willresume normalrotation oroperation.
#5 Cam: This black cam controls detergent. It is adjustable
#6 Cam: This black cam controls sanitizer. It is adjustable. Set the sanitizer concentrations at 50 ppm(Warning: Do not
exceed 75 PPM). Monitor chlorine levels by using chlorine test strips. To Test: Run a load of glasses through a complete
cycle use test strip to test a water sample from the top of any clean glass.
#7 Cam: This black cam controls rinse additive. It is adjustable.
Final Installation Check List
Check to be sure the power isOFF. The master switch is the black switch located on left front of the glasswasher. To turn
the switch off, twist a quarter turn to the left.
Remove all the packaging and the three glassware retainers from the carousel. Glass retainers are wire forms that locate
glassware away from the corners. Push a glass retainer into each carousel compartment Save all instructions for future
reference.
Remove the protective film if present from the front panel, the hood, and the control box cover.
Verify 2” clearance between the glasswasher top and bottom of the counter or bar overhang. This is needed for cleaning

Operating Instructions
The carousel is divided into three positions by stainless steel panels. These panels isolate each compartment,
controlling the water and washing action of the rotating spray. With a push of the detent lever, the carousel
easily rotates and locks into the next position. While one section of the carousel is being washed, the operator
can unload the cleaned glassware from the second section, then load dirty glassware into the last section of the
carousel.
To operate, completely load the first compartment or section of carousel. Note:Failure toload completesections can
cause breakage of tall stemware. Release the carousel by pushing the detent latch to the left. This latch is located in
thefrontbetween thecarousel and theglasswasher cabinet. Manuallyturnthe carouseluntil the loadedglasses areinthe
washing compartment . Proper alignment is indicated when the detent falls into the notch.
Start the cycle by pushing the red start switch on the front of the glasswasher. The switch stays illuminated during
operation. Wash, Rinse, and Sanitization occurs in 75 seconds. Do not move the carousel until the full cycle is
completed.
Break-down and Cleaning for Daily Maintenance
WARNING: Glass Breakage can occur - always visually inspect tank before breakdown.
Drain water from the tank using the drain switch (drain), located on the side of the control box. The control box is
mounted on the inside of the door. Remove the hood top by lifting up approximately one (1”) inch and slide the hood top
toward you. Remove the carousel by lifting up 1 1/2” until the carousel has cleared the pivot pin, then pull it towards you.
Thepivotpin isattached to thetop centerof the cabinet. Oncethe hoodtopand thecarousel areremoved,the operator
has easy access to the splash shields, the spray arm, the scrap tray, and the pump screen. Remove the splash shields
underthecarousel (triangularshaped) by liftingup ontheinnermost edge,then slide theshield towardsthecenter. The
spray arm lifts off of the spray arm pivot. Once the spray arm is removed, the scrap tray can be lifted out by the handles
and the circular pump screen will slide up, off the pump housing. Important: Always visually inspect tank for
any broken glass before removing pump screen.
