2. Getting Started
2.1. Introduction to CMA-180
The CMA-180 is a hot water sanitizing, single rack, door-type dishmachine. It is a stand-alone
machine featuring a self-contained booster heater (optional). The only external connections
necessary are power supply, water supply, drainpipe, and chemical dispensers. The machine
utilizes recirculated wash water and fresh water final rinse. The CMA-180 can be converted both
as a straight through and corner with a door handle kit.
Operation of the CMA-180 is automatic. When the door is opened and then closed, the wash
cycle begins automatically. To initially fill the machine daily, open the hand operated fill valve
(optional auto fill available) on the top of the machine. The machine is full when water begins to
flow into the scrap trap. The wash tank heater will maintain the wash water temperature at
155°F. The booster heater will produce a minimum of 180°F final rinse water each cycle
providing the incoming water supply is a minimum 140°F.
This manual is structured to provide a complete reference guide to the CMA-180. It is presented
in a manner that all users will be able to comprehend and use as an effective tool in supporting
the operation and maintenance of the dishmachine. The first section explains how the machine is
packaged and what to look for when receiving the machine.
Instructions are provided in the manual explaining how to unpack the machine and then install
and set up the machine for use. Requirements are given for plumbing, wiring, and space
considerations. These attributes of the machine are always taken into consideration by our well-
trained sales representatives prior to the order being placed. In the manual, additional installation
guidance is given to ensure the machine can run at optimum conditions.
The
Operation Section of the manual may be used for instruction and procedures when required.
We make this portion of the manual easy to understand so that all levels of operators may be
able to read and comprehend the operation of the machine. The function of the machine itself is
mostly automatic and takes little training to put into full operation. The Operation Section also
includes diagnostic considerations for the machine when problems occur.
