20.3 Standard cycle phases shall include at least the following general treatment options:
20.3.1 Pre-rinse - Water retained in the sump from the last rinse shall be used to remove
heavy soil, flushing any easily removed matter to drain in order to ensure that the detergent
solution stays as clean as possible. Treatment shall be under pressure from the main
treatment pump at 230 GPM @ 80 feet of head. At the end of this cycle phase, debris
entrapped by the self-flushing strainer shall be sent to drain with the used treatment water.
20.3.2 Wash - Fresh hot water from the customer's supply shall be used to fill the sump,
with detergent being introduced by dispenser or manually during filling. When the sump is
full, heating shall begin in order to bring the wash solution up to the desired temperature.
The wash treatment shall be under pressure from the main treatment pump at 230 GPM @
80 feet of head. At the end of the wash cycle, detergent solution shall be flushed to drain.
The self-flushing debris strainer shall be cleaned in the process of draining the sump,
sending any entrained debris to the sewer immediately.
20.3.3 First Rinse - Fresh hot water from the customer's hot water supply shall fill the
sump, and shall be circulated through the jet system by the main treatment pump at 230
GPM @ 80 feet of head. The heating system shall be active during this cycle, maintaining
the temperature of the rinse water. At completion, the used water shall be conducted to
drain, flushing the strainer in the process.
20.3.4 Final Rinse - Fresh hot water from the customer's hot water supply shall fill the
sump, and shall be circulated through the jet system by the main treatment pump at 230
GPM @ 80 feet of head. The heating system shall be active during this cycle, maintaining
the temperature of the rinse water. At the election of the operator, this treatment cycle phase

SMC Model 1026 Engineering Specification Rev. 100812 Page 6 of 12
shall utilize the temperature guarantee circuitry. In this case, timing of the cycle phase shall
not begin until the rinse water is recirculating at the setpoint temperature, thus guaranteeing
appropriate sanitation. At completion, this rinse water shall be retained in the sump for use
as pre-wash water for the next load.
20.3.5 Exhaust - When all wet cycle phase treatments are complete, the automatic exhaust
damper shall open and any residual vapor in the cabinet shall be vented to the customer's air
handling system. The time allowed for this ventilation shall be determined by experience
with the specific application and subsequent adjustment of the user program through the
operator touch screen.
