Glastender GT-18 Glasswashers Operation Manual

The GT-18 produces superior results

The GT-18 glasswasher is simple to operate and easy to maintain. The wash cycle is the first 70 seconds of the

120 second cycle. During the wash cycle, eleven applications of detergent and water are performed on the rotating glassware providing extended dwell time and complete spray coverage for superior results. A rinse aid applied during the rinse cycle prevents spotting.

The door extends only 7½" past the front of the machine to minimize work flow impact

Easy maintenance is the key to superior results

Every NSF listed glasswasher performs well when new. The real challenge is to perform well after long-term use. This is where simple maintenance becomes critical. The GT-18 glasswasher disassembles quickly for cleaning. No tools are required. The stationary spray box easily unclamps and has only 15 spray holes that need to be checked. Cleaning is so straightforward, we can illustrate the entire process in the steps below.

1. Remove the front splash guard.

5. Remove the tank screen and dump any debris into the trash. Rinse and clean the tank screen thoroughly.

6. Remove the drain stopper and any debris from the lower wash tank. Make sure nothing is clogging the pump inlet screen, inside the lower wash tank.

2. Remove the top of the glasswasher to provide complete access to the wash tank.

Only 1" of clearance above the glasswasher is required to remove the top.

3. Remove the conveyor wheel. Any large debris found inside the machine, like broken glass, lemon seeds, stir sticks, and so on, should also be removed.

7. Remove the scrap tray and empty out any debris that may have passed through the tank screen.

4. Check the spray box, making sure none of the spray holes are clogged. If a clog is found, the spray box is easily removed by lifting up on the spray box clamps. Use a nylon brush to scrub the spray box holes clean.

8. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the entire wash tank. For more stubborn stains, use a nylon brush or a Scotch-Brite Stainless Steel Cleaner® pad.

Never use steel wool to clean stainless steel.

Steel wool will cause the stainless steel to rust.

Re-assemble the glasswasher and you are ready to start the next day. Over time, mineral deposits from water will build up inside the tank. A chemical deliming agent used while running a cycle will remove mineral deposits.
