SAFETY

Your Cole-Parmer washer offers the following safety features: OVERFILL PROTECTION — In the unlikely event that a malfunction overfills the chamber, an overflow float sensor device activates chamber draining. DOOR SWITCH — The unit is equipped with a door switch that automatically pauses the washer if the door is opened during a cycle. The wash cycle will continue from the point of interruption after the door is re-closed. SAFETY CATCH — The washer is fitted with a safety catch that, when engaged, prevents unintentional door opening and the resulting risk of injury from exposure to hot water or steam. When engaged, opening the door requires two hands. See Section 5, “Washer Components.”

To ensure safe operation, please follow these recommendations:

• Read all instructions carefully before using the washer. • This glassware washer must be properly grounded. See

Section 4, “Installing the Washer.” • Use only detergents and neutralizers recommended by Cole-

Parmer for use in glassware washers. Heikol products have been specifically formulated for use in Cole-Parmer washers.

• Before opening the door, always wait for the sounds of rotating spray arms and circulating water to stop.

• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “washer safe.” Check with the item’s manufacturer if unmarked.

• Remove the door before discarding an old washer.

WARNING: If this equipment is used in a manner not specified in this manual, safety protections designed into the unit may be impaired.

Only qualified service personnel should remove cabinet panels.CAUTION

WASHER OVERVIEW

This section describes washer capabilities and the sequence of phases composing wash cycles. Through available control settings, your washer offers a variety of different operation cycles—permitting you to configure the cycle best suited for your application. In Main Wash and Heated Rinse phases, an in-line heater element heats water to a programmed temperature.1 You can use the HW (HIGH-HEAT WASH) and HR (HIGH-HEAT RINSE) buttons to maximize operating water temperatures. Cycles then proceed through the following sequence of (possible) phases: On some program cycles, not all of these phases are utilized. Table 3-1 on page 6 lists the phases for each program type. PRE-WASHES — In Pre-Wash phases the chamber sump well fills with tap water and then the circulation pump activates to wet down the load from the rotating spray arms and (on spindle-rack-equipped CLW-128 units) from the spindles. Pre-Wash phases may be heated or unheated (depending on the cycle selected). They conclude by draining all water from the chamber. MAIN WASH — The chamber fills with tap water, which is heated to the temperature called for by the selected program and option-button settings. At the start of the Main Wash phase, the detergent compartment cover hinges open to introduce detergent. The load is bathed with recirculating heated water. The Main Wash phase concludes by draining all water from the chamber.

1 Heated-Phase durations are determined by the cycle program selected and the required water heat-up time. Therefore, total cycle time is influenced by the source-water temperature and operator control selections.

RINSES — Depending upon the cycle selected, up to two tap water rinses and up to two DI water rinses may follow the Main Wash phase. Table 3-1 on page 6 lists the phases for each program type. During each rinse phase, water fills the chamber and then circulates over the load. The terminal DI Water Rinse phase (on cycles having this phase) is heated to the temperature called for by the selected program and option-button settings. If neutralizer is loaded, it is delivered into the chamber during rinse phases as described in Table 3-1. Rinsing concludes by draining all water from the chamber. DRYING — During the Drying phase, a fan blower circulates and vents chamber air to speed drying. On units equipped with optional Auxiliary Electric Heat Drying, a sump-mounted heater element warms chamber air to approximately 46°C (115°F) during the Drying phase. On units equipped with optional Off-Cycle Convection Drying, you can use a door-mounted pushbutton to activate a 1-hour timed interval of fan drying at any time when cycles are not running.1 Overall time to complete a cycle varies depending upon the cycle selected, selected control panel functions, and the facility’s water temperature. Although not required, hot source water speeds water heat-up, decreasing cycle time. To learn about washer components and controls, please refer to Section 5, “Washer Components,” on page 15. For step-by-step operating instructions, jump ahead to Section 6, “How to Run a Wash Cycle,” on page 23. For installation instructions, go to Section 4, “Installing the Washer,” on page 7.

1 If both the Auxiliary Electric Heat Drying option and the Off-Cycle Convection Drying option are installed, chamber air is heated during this 1-hour timed interval.

_________________________________ * The duration and/or temperature of program phases increases in progression from Quick Wash to Max Wash. Program times are dependent upon facility water temperature during heated phases. Cooler source water prolongs cycle times. ** Neutralizer injection will not occur if the washer door was opened by the operator after the cycle’s detergent door activation. If neutralizer injection is required, either avoid opening the washer door mid-cycle, or add manually.

INSTALLING THE WASHER

Your Cole-Parmer glassware washer must be enclosed on the top, back, and both sides. The cabinet enclosure into which Undercounter units are installed supplies this protection. Freestanding / Mobile units are equipped with a #3 stainless steel cabinet. Only qualified, factory-trained personnel familiar with local plumbing and electrical codes and ordinances should install the washer. For a first-time installation, all site preparation work must be completed before the washer can be installed with final utility connections. If the new washer replaces an existing unit, verify that all plumbing and electrical connections are properly sized and located. To protect floor surfaces, Undercounter units are supplied with leg slides for attachment to washer feet. These decrease friction as the unit is moved across the floor.

Preparing for Installation REQUIRED TOOLS

• Phillips #2 screwdriver • Flat blade screwdriver • Adjustable wrenches • 5/8" (16 mm) open-end wrench • Tape measure • Spirit level • Electric drill • Hole-saw bits up to 2" (50 mm) diameter

REQUIRED PLUMBING SUPPLIES

Your unit is supplied with two rear-mounted 3/4" male GHT fittings for connection to your facility’s tap water and DI water supplies. Mating extension hoses are available in a Facility Installation Kit (Part Number 441902). We recommend installing a shutoff valve at the water supply connection. You will also need an appropriate fitting for connect-ing the supplied drain hose to your drain system.

Step-by-Step Installation Instructions 1) PREPARE THE TAP AND DI WATER CONNECTIONS

Plan the fitting connections and the route for water supply hoses from the washer to your water supplies. On Undercounter units, drill appropriately sized cabinet entry holes as required, keeping within the shaded area pictured in the previous section. With the washer still outside of the cabinet recess, feed the water hoses through the cabinet hole(s) toward the washer’s tap and DI water connectors. For DI water connection, use plastic or stainless fittings. Brass fittings corrode in contact with DI water and are not recommended. 2) PREPARE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

For convenience, the unit is provided with a pre-wired electrical cable and plug. Locate or install a code-conforming electrical receptacle within reach of the washer’s supplied cable. The electrical supply should be a dedicated circuit that is properly grounded and breaker-equipped. Drill an appropriately sized cabinet entry hole as required, keeping within the shaded area pictured on page 9.

WARNINGS: 1) The electrical receptacle must be properly

grounded and must comply with applicable portions of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local electrical codes.

2) All washer servicing should occur with the power cord disconnected from power.

11

No other appliance or outlets should share this circuit. Provide a local disconnect or switch to ensure safe maintenance access. With the washer still outside of the cabinet recess, feed the power cord through the cabinet hole toward the AC outlet. 3) CONNECT TO THE FACILITY DRAIN

The unit is supplied with a drain hose oriented over a rear-mounted “high-loop” saddle. To prevent problems with drainage, backflow, and siphoning, the high-loop configuration must be preserved—typically by an arrangement similar to the following (shown here for an Undercounter model): Fashion a drain connection that conforms to these requirements:

• No part of the drain hose should exceed 35" (90 cm) above the bottom of the washer.

• The drain connection must be at least 20" (50 cm) above the bottom of the washer.

• The drain hose extends no more than 10' (3 m).

• Any joints or fittings must be 3/4" (18 mm) ID or larger.

• The drain hose is not directly connected to a floor well or its equivalent—this could cause a siphon that empties the machine during cycles. The drain line should never be connected to a check valve.

• Do not route the washer drain through a vent or air gap, as this may impede flow during some drain phases. If the drain cannot be hard piped as shown above, locate the drain hose over an open counter drain or floor drain instead.

Drill an appropriately sized cabinet entry hole as required to reach the drain connection. Feed the supplied drain hose through the

cabinet hole toward the drain connection, then connect the drain hose to your drain. 4) CONNECT THE TAP AND DI WATER SUPPLIES

Connect and tighten all water connections securely. 5) CONNECT THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY

For a Freestanding / Mobile unit, roll the washer into its final location and connect the supplied power cord to an appropriate receptacle. Secure the unit by depressing the caster brake levers on the unit’s casters. After circuit power is activated, the washer is ready to operate. For an Undercounter unit, connect the unit’s AC power plug to its AC receptacle. 6) TEST FOR LEAKS

Before final leveling and securement in position, test for leaks by running a brief LIGHT cycle as follows:

a. Turn ON the electrical power and water supplies.

b. Push the door closed until it is securely latched.

c. Follow the “How to Start a Cycle” procedure on page 24 to select and operate a LIGHT cycle. This cycle executes both tap water and DI water rinses.

d. While the cycle is operating, carefully check all water supply and drain connections to ensure that there are no leaks. Correct any observed leaks.

7) MOVE THE UNIT INTO FINAL POSITION

Using an assistant if necessary to take up excess cable and hose slack, push the washer fully into its final position.

8) ADJUST THE LEVELING LEGS

On Undercounter units only, adjust the rear and front leg height as follows:

a. Adjust the height of the single rear leg from the front by using a screwdriver to rotate the REAR LEG ADJUST-MENT SCREW located at the bottom front of the machine:

b. Use a 5/8" (16 mm) wrench to adjust the washer’s two front leveling legs to the required height and to level the unit. Any inclination must be ≤ 2°. Use the locking nut to lock your adjustments:

9) SECURE THE WASHER IN ITS FINAL POSITION

Undercounter Units: To prevent forward tilting when down-ward force is applied to the open door or when heavily loaded baskets are pulled outward, use screws to fasten the washer to the cabinet. Using the supplied screws, plastic spacers, and rubber cosmetic plugs, secure the washer to the cabinet using alternative “A” or “B” (one screw on each side):

Freestanding / Mobile Units: If your application creates the potential for forward tilting, use the supplied TIP GUARDS or your own fashioned brackets to secure the washer’s rear castors to the wall or floor. Typical installations are shown here: If you prefer to fix the Freestanding / Mobile washer in a permanent location, leveling feet are provided to replace the castors.

10) TOE-KICK PLATE INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)

On Undercounter Units, the supplied TOE-KICK PLATE can be attached to the washer’s lower front to optimize appearance. You may decide that attaching this plate is unnecessary for your installation.

The following components are illustrated on page 20.

DETERGENT / NEUTRALIZER DISPENSER —

• The DETERGENT DOOR LATCH opens the spring-loaded DETERGENT DOOR when pressed. After detergent filling, snap the door closed.

• You can fill the PRE-WASH and MAIN WASH detergent compartments with detergent according to your preference. During cycles, any detergent loaded into the PRE-WASH compartment dissolves passively into the chamber early in the cycle. The DETERGENT DOOR later opens auto-matically at the start of the Main Wash phase, emptying the MAIN WASH compartment.

• If neutralizer is desired, unscrew the NEUTRALIZER DISPENSER CAP and pour neutralizer into the round well to fill the dispenser. The dispenser injects a metered dose of neutralizer into the chamber during the final heated DI Rinse phase.

• The NEUTRALIZER INDICATOR reports the current fill level by appearing completely dark when full. Lower fill levels appear as progressively smaller dark dots. If empty, the indicator appears completely light. To adjust the amount of neutralizer injected into the chamber, unscrew the NEUTRALIZER DISPENSER CAP and remove it to expose a six-position dial control. If increased neutralizer injection is desired, rotate the dial control (normally set to “1”) to a higher number setting.

SPRAY ARMS — During the Pre-Wash, Main Wash, and Rinse phases of cycles, these rotating nozzles shower the underside of the load with circulating water. OPTIONAL SPINDLE RACKS — Available for model CLW-128 only, spindle racks provide effective cleaning of narrow-neck glassware such as volumetric and Erlenmeyer flasks.1 COARSE STRAINER — This strainer removes large debris items from water circulation. Check and clean it regularly to prevent obstructions to water circulation. It nests inside the FINE FILTER BASKET (Not shown; See page 26 for an illustration of the basket). FILTER SCREEN— This filter helps remove smaller particles from the water circulation path. Check and clean it regularly to prevent

Upper and lower spray arms dispense tap and deionized water upward onto glassware loaded in standard CLW-108 and CLW-128 open racks: Standard open racks provide ample loading space for glassware, specialty racks, baskets, and inserts. A list of available accessories appears on page 33 of this manual. The CLW-128 unit accepts optional spindle racks, which provide an effective means to thoroughly wash the interiors of narrow-neck glassware such as volumetric and Erlenmeyer flasks. As illustrated below, optional spindle racks must provide proper “boot sealing” and cannot be intermixed with standard CLW-128 open racks: When using spindle racks, the height of each black plastic FLASK SUPPORT must be set to ensure that the SPRAY TUBE does not touch the bottom of the inverted glassware positioned above it. Do this by squeezing and then repositioning the SPRING CLIP.

HOW TO RUN A WASH CYCLE

Detergent Recommendations Use only detergents or wetting agents intended for use in glass–ware washers (such as Heikol detergent). Heikol detergent and neutralizing products are described on page 33. Any detergent loaded into the PRE-WASH DETERGENT COMPARTMENT (illustrated on page 20) seeps into the chamber early during cycles. Detergent loaded into the MAIN WASH DETERGENT COMPARTMENT is released at the start of the Main Wash phase. For the RINSE-ONLY cycle, do not load detergent in the detergent dispenser. The RINSE-ONLY cycle does not dose neutralizer. The QUICK-WASH cycle doses neutralizer only if HR is selected. If your facility’s water has a high hardness level, you may need to use more detergent. NOTE: Too much detergent may cause glassware etching. Check with the local water department if unsure about your facility’s water hardness level.

Before Starting a Cycle

1. Open any tap and/or deionized water supply shut-off valve(s), and turn ON any switch or circuit breaker supplying AC voltage to the washer.

2. CLW-128 Only: If optional spindle rack operation is desired, remove both standard open racks and replace them with either upper and lower spindle racks or with one tall spindle rack. As described on page 22, adjust collar gap before first use.

3. Choose basket and insert accessories appropriate for the type of load (test tube baskets for test tubes, for example). A list of available accessories appears on page 33.

4. Load objects concave side down, preventing items from protruding into the path of the spray arm(s).

5. Load the Detergent / Neutralizer Dispenser as desired (see page 18 if you need information on how to load the dispenser). Latch the Detergent Door closed when done.

6. Firmly push the door closed to securely latch it. Cycles cannot begin until the door is securely latched.

How to Start a Cycle 1. Turn the washer ON by pressing

the ON / OFF POWER SWITCH to the ON position (switch location is illustrated on page 15). The control panel’s display and indicators then energize. The control panel is illustrated on page 16.

2. Select the desired program type by pressing the control panel’s PROGRAM SELECTOR BUTTON until the desired PROGRAM INDICATOR LAMP illuminates.1

3. For all program types except RINSE-ONLY, select high or low temperature operation using the HIGH-HEAT WASH SELECTOR BUTTON. Available wash temperatures are listed in Table 3-2 on page 6.

4. If you would like the cycle to start automatically after a delay of from 1 to 12 hours, press the START-DELAY SELECTOR until the desired interval is displayed.

5. If a high-heat rinse is desired, press the HIGH-HEAT RINSE (HR) SELECTOR BUTTON until its indicator illuminates. Available rinse temperatures are listed in Table 3-2 on page 6.

6. To begin the cycle, push the START / STOP BUTTON. The control panel’s START INDICATOR LAMP illumi-nates and the estimated time remaining decrements on the DISPLAY WINDOW.

7. At the end of the cycle, the control panel’s START INDICA-TOR LAMP extinguishes and the END lamp illuminates.

8. On units equipped with optional Off-Cycle Convection Drying, this function’s pushbutton may be pressed after cycle completion to initiate a supplemental 1-hour fan-drying phase.2

1 For help determining which cycle and option-button settings are appropriate for your application, see Section 3, “Washer Overview,” beginning on page 4. 2 If both the Auxiliary Electric Heat Drying option and the Off-Cycle Convection Drying option are installed, chamber air is heated during this 1-hour timed interval.

How to Pause or Abort a Cycle To pause cycle operation, insert your hand, palm up, into the door’s HANDLE COVER, pull the latch, wait a few moments for spray-arm movement to stop, then pull the door slightly open. To resume the cycle from the point at which it paused, re-close the door so that it is securely latched.1 To abort cycle operation, hold the START / STOP BUTTON depressed for 3 seconds.

Using the Cycle Lock Function In addition to the door Safety Catch mechanism, the program Cycle Lock function can be used to help prevent accidental or unauthorized washer operation. When Program Lock is enabled, the key-shaped control-panel indicator illuminates and the PROGRAM SELECTOR BUTTON is inactivated—preventing program selection and operation until Cycle Lock is disabled. To activate the Cycle Lock function:

1. Turn OFF washer power using the power button.

2. Simultaneously depress and hold the HW and HR buttons as you press the power button to restore power to the unit.

3. Release the buttons.

4. Press the PROGRAM SELECTOR BUTTON until the display shows “1” with the key symbol indicator illuminated.

5. Press the START BUTTON to confirm the selection and return to the normal operating state.

To temporarily de-activate the Cycle Lock function for 3 minutes so that you can select and start one cycle, simultaneously depress and hold the HW and HR buttons. To permanently de-activate the Cycle Lock function (until you next activate it), follow steps 1 through 5 above, but change the “1” value to “0” with the PROGRAM SELECTOR BUTTON, extinguishing the key symbol indicator.

1 If a power failure occurs while a cycle is running, restoration of power resumes the cycle from the point at which it paused.

MAINTENANCE

DAILY Inspect and clean the following chamber components daily, or at a frequency appropriate for your facility’s washer usage and load characteristics:

The FINE FILTER BASKET (surrounding the COARSE STRAINER) collects debris for automatic flushing into the drain each time a cycle is run. Regular inspection is important to prevent the accumulation of lime sediment or other deposits that may clog the mesh of this filter over time. Clean the filter by gently rubbing with a brush or similar device.

WEEKLY Clean exterior washer surfaces with warm soapy water if necessary. On a weekly or monthly schedule, inspect the OUTLET PUMP fins and nearby piping for debris. Clean with a 4 inch (10 cm) pipe cleaner if necessary. The Outlet Pump area is accessible beneath a removable plug located at the 9:00 o’clock position in the floor beneath the FINE FILTER BASKET:

COARSE STRAINER (To remove, gently press tabs inward, then lift)

FILTER SCREEN (To remove, unscrew FINE FILTER first)

FINE FILTER BASKET (To remove, turn counterclockwise)

27

Examine the holes in the top surface of each SPRAY ARM (and optional spindles) for mineral deposits or clogs. Remove any such blockages with a needle, wire, or other appropriate tool. Inspect SPRAY ARMS to verify smooth rotation: If a spray arm is not rotating freely, look for debris or mineral deposits at the arm’s axle joint. If there is difficulty cleaning the axle in place, you can remove the spray arm for closer inspection. To remove the spray arm from its axle, apply quick upward pressure on the arm while bracing to prevent hitting nearby parts when the arm snaps free. Clean debris as necessary. Installation is the reverse of removal.

UNHEATED Before storing the washer, drain water from the unit. This includes STORAGE any water trapped in the washer’s internal pumps and inlet valves.

Malfunctions caused by component freezing are excluded from warranty coverage.

“AS NEEDED” The inner casing of your Cole-Parmer glassware washer is manu- STAINLESS factured of #3-finished stainless steel. If your facility has hard STEEL water, interior surfaces may accumulate a gray deposit or film. CLEANING This can usually be removed by running your washer through a

Heavy Wash cycle substituting HEIKOL A (Part Number 511820) liquid acidic detergent. Table 7-1, “Cleaners for Stainless Steel,” outlines other effective methods for cleaning stainless steel.

NOTE: Use the mildest cleaning procedure that will do the job effectively. Rub in the direction of polished lines for maximum effectiveness and to avoid marring the surface. Rinse thoroughly with water after every cleaning and wipe dry.
