2. Getting Started
2.1. Introduction to CMA-181GW
The CMA-181GW is a hot water sanitizing, single rack, under-counter glasswasher. It is a
standalone machine featuring a self-contained booster heater. The only external connections
necessary are power supply, water supply, drainpipe, and optional chemical dispensers. The
machine uses re-circulated wash water and fresh water final-rinse.
Operation of the CMA-181GW is extremely user friendly. To initially fill the machine each day,
push the switch marked “FILL”. The machine is full when water begins to flow into the scrap tray.
The booster 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.
The supply water to the CMA-181GW must be a minimum of 140°F at 24 PSI (Pounds per
Square Inch) with a 6 GPM (Gallons Per Minute) flow rate and 60 GPH (Gallons Per Hour)
recovery rate. The pipe supplying the water must be ½” minimum. The plumbing connection is
located at the back of the machine. (See specification sheet on page 2).
The drain is a 1" barbed fitting on the back of the machine for easy attachment of your drain
hose.
This manual is structured to provide a complete reference guide to the CMA-181GW. 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 glasswasher. The first section explains how the
machine is packaged and what to look for when receiving the machine.
After unpacking the machine, this manual explains how to 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, guidance is also given for installation to ensure that the
machine will be able to 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.
We are committed to providing the best machines and customer service in the food industry and
your feedback is welcome.
CMA expressly disclaims any and all warranties, express or implied, relating to the installation of any and all CMA equipment that is installed by chemical dealers, contracted servicers or third
party servicers to CMA equipment. If the installation instructions are not followed exactly (to the letter), or, if any person or company conducting the installation of the CMA equipment, revise the
installation procedures or alter the instructions in any manner, the CMA warranty becomes void. If, due to the improper installation of CMA equipment, this equipment ceases to operate properly or
affects other parts of the CMA dishwashing equipment, in that the other parts become defective, the CMA warranty becomes void. CMA will not be liable or responsible or warrant CMA
equipment, due to improper installation of any CMA model dishwasher.
DISCLAIMERS
CMA does NOT
endorse “Tankless On-Demand” water heaters for use on CMA Dishmachine products. On most applications, the
volume of hot water required for commercial dishmachines exceeds the capacity of these types of heating sources. You will find
that most, if not all, commercial dishmachines have been programmed with auto-filling features that require quick filling, with a
designated limited time.
CMA
DOES endorse, and highly recommends, the standard “tank” style water heaters, sized properly to handle each particular
facility with their water heating requirements. A “tank” style water heater stores and supplies a large capacity of preheated water
before providing hot water to the dishmachine. To meet required health codes, there must be a reliable and consistent flow of
adequate hot water supplied to the dishmachine. If the facilities’ “tank” style water heater is marginal in size, CMA recommends
installing a proper size Hatco Booster Heater, a CMA’s E-Temp 40 or 70-degree-rise Booster Heater (that can be installed on CMA
Conveyors), or a CMA Temp-Sure Booster Heater (for door and undercounter dishmachines). All are designed to adequately
achieve results.
