Safety Precautions and Symbols Operator Manual 122993-622
The following Safety Precautions must be observed when operating or servicing this equipment. WARNING indicates
the potential for personal injury and CAUTION indicates the potential for damage to equipment. For emphasis, certain
Safety Precautions are repeated throughout the manual. It is important to review ALL Safety Precautions before
operating or servicing the unit.
WARNING – PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD:
Always load baskets on appropriate loading cart or surface.
In case of an emergency situation involving conveyors, always press EMERGENCY STOP pushbutton to stop all
washer and conveyor operations.
Regularly scheduled preventive maintenance is required for safe and reliable operation of this equipment.
Contact STERIS to schedule preventive maintenance.
Repairs and adjustments to this equipment must be made only by STERIS or STERIS-trained service personnel.
Nonroutine maintenance performed by unqualified personnel or installation of unauthorized parts could cause
personal injury, result in improper equipment performance, void the warranty, or result in costly damage. Contact
STERIS regarding service options.
WARNING – CHEMICAL BURN AND/OR EYE INJURY HAZARD:
Detergents are caustic and can cause adverse effects to exposed tissues. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or attempt
to swallow. Read and follow the precautions and instructions on the detergent label and in the Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS) prior to handling the detergent, refilling the detergent container, or servicing the detergent
injection pump. Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) whenever handling the detergent or
servicing the detergent injection pump and lines.
WARNING – ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND/OR BURN HAZARD:
Disconnect all utilities to washer before servicing. Do not service the washer unless all utilities have been properly
locked out. Always follow local electrical safety-related work practice standards.
Fasteners and star washers are used to ensure protective bonding continuity. Always reinstall any star washer
which may have been removed during installation or servicing.
POWER-OFF/STANDBY switch does not shut ac power off to the unit.
WARNING – BURN HAZARD:
Before performing any service on the unit, wait until chamber and piping cool to room temperature.
Do not adjust balancing valve while washer is operating.
Do not reach into sump.
Pipes may be extremely hot.
Water discharge may be extremely hot.
When unloading processed items from conveyor, wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Clean
items may be extremely hot or contain hot rinse water.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND SYMBOLS 1

1-2
122993-622 Operator Manual Safety Precautions and Symbols
WARNING – SLIPPING HAZARD:
To avoid slippery floor conditions, immediately wipe up any spilled liquids or drippage. If spilled liquids or
drippage are detergents or other chemicals, follow safety precautions and handling procedures set forth on
detergent or chemical label and/or Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
CAUTION – POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
Use nonabrasive cleaners when cleaning unit. Follow directions on container and rub in a back-and-forth motion
(in same direction as surface grain). Abrasive cleaners will damage stainless steel. Cleaners rubbed in a circular
motion or applied with a wire brush or steel wool will scratch and dull stainless steel. Do not use these cleaners
on painted surfaces.
When choosing a detergent, select one with a low chloride content. Detergents with a high chloride content can
corrode stainless steel.

COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION
IMPORTANT:A listingoftheSafetyPrecautions tobe observedwhenoperat-
ing and servicing this equipment can be found in Section 1 of this manual. Do
not operate or service the equipment until you have become familiar with this
information.
Before operating the unit, it is important to become familiar with the location and
function of all major components and controls (see Figure 3-1).
Items are automatically conveyed through each chamber section, where the
following functions occur:
Optional Garb-el station - disposal unit is installed on the load side of the
conveyor. It provides a quick and easy bedding disposal before wash cycles
into the tunnel washer. Fresh water supply eliminates bedding which passes
through a hammermill pulverizer and then sent to drain.
Use cold water only, except where the Garb-el is used to dispose of large
volumes of greasy plate scrappings. Hot water should be used in such cases
for both sanitary and unit efficiency reasons.
Pre-washsection- water from the rinse recirculating tank is pumped through
spray jet system then sent to drain.
Wash section - hot detergent solution recirculates through the spray jet
system under pump pressure. Solution temperature is maintained by a steam
coil located in the wash recirculating tank.
Rinse section - two rinse functions occur within the rinse chamber section:
• Recirculated rinse - hot water recirculates through the spray jet system
under pump pressure. Water temperature is maintained by a steam coil
located in the rinse recirculation tank.
• Final rinse - hot water from building supply, heated by the final rinse heat
exchanger, is sprayed through a separate spray jet system. Water is not
recirculated and falls to rinse recirculating tank.
Optionaldryersection- hot air, heated by steam coils, is recirculated through
the dryer chamber where an air knife blow-off system is removing surplus water
from washer item.

The POWER-OFF/STANDBY switch supplies unit operation status to the
washer control (see Figure 3-2). Setting the switch to POWER activates the
control and permits unit operation. Setting the switch to OFF/STANDBY places
control in a Standby mode. While in Standby mode, unit operation is not
possible.
NOTE: Control should be placed in Standby mode after the last cycle of the day
and when washer is not in use for an extended period of time.

spray jets, the downward pressure from the upper jets will hold the product down
on the conveyor (see Section 6.15, Adjust Hydraulic Hold-Down System ).
Systemincludes balancing valves installedin the water supplylines, located inside
the wash, rinse and final rinse chambers, on opposite side of chamber from the
access door (see Figure 3-8). Balancing valve is a ball valve with a blue handle.
