This manual describes the operational features of the GT-24 and GT-30 model glasswashers with digital tempera-
ture gauges. Please review this information before attempting installation and operation.
Long-term, trouble-free operation will follow if good housekeeping and maintenance procedures are followed.
Thank you for selecting Glastender, Inc. products.
IntroductIon
Glastender, Inc. manufactured the original automatic rotary glasswasher in 1969. Today, Glastender glasswash-
ers have been installed around the world.
But what is a glasswasher? It is simply a piece of machinery that washes glassware, which eliminates the need
for human labor and the conventional three-compartment sink. The glasswasher is, in effect, a mechanized three-
compartment sink. It “washes”, “rinses”, and “sanitizes” glassware.
wash Hot water and a preset portion of detergent join in the Wash Tank. Operating temperature
is maintained between 130ºF (54ºC) and 150ºF (66ºC) by a stainless steel heater, and the
proper water level is maintained with a liquid level control. During operation, 5 gallons
per minute of hot soapy water are pumped in a forceful, but gentle, spray pattern across
the moving glassware. This entire wash compartment is isolated by curtains, and the
wash water is recirculated to conserve water and detergent. Actual hot water consumption
during operation is ¼ gallon per minute.
rInse and
s
anItIze
Cold water and a preset portion of sanitizer join in the sanitizing compartment called the
Rinse Tank. The proper water level is maintained with a liquid level control. During
operation, 2 gallons per minute of cold rinse water are pumped in a forceful, but gentle,
spray pattern across the moving glassware and down the drain. The unique pumped rinse
feature ensures a consistent, thorough rinse.
Please read on to learn more about this simple machine.

A Titrating Kit is required for proper chemical adjustment. If a kit is not available from your chemical supplier,
one can be purchased from Glastender, Inc. When using the kit supplied by Glastender, Inc, follow the
instructions below (instructions are also included in kit):
1. Fill test tube with five (5) ml of detergent solution from the Wash Tank.
2. Add five (5) drops of “Indicator” to solution. The solution will turn a pink (magenta) color.
3. Detergent concentration is determined by amount of “Titrate” required to make the solution turn clear.
• Add one (1) drop of “Titrate” at a time.
• After each drop is added, close the test tube top with finger and rock test tube back and forth three (3)
times to mix solution.
• The solution should turn clear between ten (10) and twelve (12) drops of “Titrate”. Less than ten
(10) drops indicates the detergent concentration is too low, more than twelve (12) drops indicates the
detergent concentration is too high. Proper detergent concentration is .30% by volume.
sanItIzer tItratInG InstructIons
Operate glasswasher to allow sanitizer levels to stabilize. With Conveyor removed and Conveyor Switch “On”,
dip Chlorine or Iodine test strip into Rinse Tank near Rinse Spray Box for one (1) second. Then immediately
compare the strip to the scale on the side of the test strip container tube. Adjust sanitizer (bleach) to 50 PPM,
and iodine type sanitizer to 12.5 PPM.
Important note: Glasswashers are NOT water conditioners. Consult local water conditioning experts to
determine your specific water condition.

The automatic rotary conveyor glasswasher is designed to “wash, rinse, and sanitize” hundreds of glasses per hour. The
rotating conveyor automatically moves glassware through the three operations.
Since the machine is typically dis-assembled for cleaning at the end of each day, start each day by ensuring that the machine
was properly re-assembled after the previous day’s use. Once re-assembly is complete, press the fill switch to fill the wash
and rinse tanks with water. The machine is now ready for use.
Press the conveyor switch to put the conveyor in motion. The conveyor rotation determines the loading side of the glass-
washer. A clockwise rotation loads on the left side, a counterclockwise rotation loads on the right side.
Remove all garnishes, straws, and ice from the soiled glass before loading the glasswasher. Turn the glass upside down and
load the conveyor. The glass will spend approximately 60 seconds in the wash section and approximately 60 seconds in the
rinse section. The conveyor movement automatically stops when the clean glass touches the “glass stop arm.” Removing
the glass starts the conveyor. Or, if extremely busy, the “glass stop arm” can be set aside with starting and stopping con-
trolled by the “conveyor switch.”
At the end of each day, turn off the conveyor and fill switches. Remove the drain plugs to empty the water from the wash
and rinse tanks and follow the cleaning procedure outlined on pages 17 and 18 of this manual.
An important part of owning a GT-24 or GT-30 glasswasher is becoming familiar with the machine’s components and
operation. This section of the Operation Manual covers machine operation and identifies some of the machine compo-
nents. Many more of the machine components are identified on pages 2 through 4 of this manual.
When the fill switch is turned on at the start of each day, water inlet valves send water to each tank through the stainless
steel inlet tubes on the side of each tank. The wash and rinse tanks each have their own water inlet valve.
The water level in each tank is controlled by an air switch
and low-level sensor pick-up tube. When the fill button
is on, the water level rises and increases the air pressure
inside the pick-up tube, much like placing an empty glass
upside down into water traps air inside the glass. The
increased pressure triggers the air switch to turn off the
water inlet valve. When the machine is in operation
(spraying water), water is lost. A decrease in the water
level in a tank decreases the air pressure inside the pick-
up tube, which triggers the air switch to turn on the water
inlet valve.
The same air switch and low-level pick-up tube assembly
that controls the water inlet valve for the wash side, also
controls the detergent pump (and the rinse side controls
the sanitizer pump). Whenever the machine is filling with
new water, it is also filling with new chemicals, which
makes sense, because you only need to add new chemi-
cals if you are adding new water.

The chemical pumps have chemical feed lines
that are attached to a chemical low-level sensor
pick-up tube. One set of lines is labeled for
detergent and the other for sanitizer. Both set
of lines must be placed inside the appropriate
chemical container. The purpose of the chemi-
cal low-level sensor pick-up tube is to make the
low-level chemical light flash when the chemi-
cals get low. There is an air pressure switch on
the other end of the chemical low-level pick-up
tube line and when the chemical level gets low the pressure on the switch decreases, turning the switch on, and causing the
low-level chemical light on the switch panel to blink. It is very important to clean the pick-up tube assembly from time to
time and to prevent the assembly from being cracked or damaged. Debris clogged in the pick-up tube or a crack or hole
in the pick-up tube assembly can cause a false low level chemical reading.
When the fill switch is on, turning on the conveyor switch puts the conveyor in motion.
Whenever the conveyor is in motion, water is spraying through the spray boxes in each
of the tanks. There is a water recirculating pump for each tank that sucks water from the
tank and forces it through the spray box and onto the glassware. It is important to have
the pump inlet screens in place to prevent foreign debris (broken glass, lemon seeds, etc.)
from being sucked in and damaging
the water recirculating pump.
Glassware is placed on the rotating conveyor so it can pass through
the wash section and then the rinse and sanitize section. The GT-24
and GT-30 glasswashers have a glass stop arm (or flag) that stops the
conveyor when the glassware strikes it. This is intended to prevent the
machine from operating constantly and
washing the same glassware repeatedly.
However, during busy times, the glass
stop arm can be manually moved to the
side so the conveyor will run constantly.
The GT-24 and GT-30 also have three curtains and a rinse tank guide. The front curtain is
to prevent water from splashing out the front of the machine. The wash and rinse curtains
run perpendicular to the front curtain and are intended to prevent the wash and rinse water
from mixing. The rinse tank guide is a stainless cover over the rinse tank (it has a hole over
the spray box) that guides the used rinse water to the drain compartment so the rinse water
is not used more than once. Wash water is re-used, but the constant splashing causes much
of the water to escape into the drain tank, so fresh water and chemicals are being regularly
added to both the wash and rinse tanks. Since the rinse water is not re-used, the rinse tank
uses more water than the wash tank when the machine is in operation.
At the end of each day of operation, turn off the conveyor and fill switches
and remove the drain plugs to empty the wash and rinse tanks. [NOTE:
Always be careful when removing the drain plugs, since the wash water
is hot.] Simple daily cleaning takes approximately five minutes. Follow
the cleaning procedures outlined on pages 17 and 18 of this manual and
perform the heavier cleaning procedures, such as de-liming, as necessary.

how the Glasswasher operates (contInued)
what are the prIme swItches?
Chemical pumps have a speed control so they can be made to run faster or slower (see pages 9-10). Chemical vendors
adjust the amount of chemicals that get inserted into a tank of water by altering the speed of the chemical pump. The water
inlet valve only takes a certain amount of time to fill the tank. The chemical pumps only operate when the tank is filling,
so adjusting the speed of the pump will increase or decrease the amount of chemicals dispensed during the fill time.
Prime switches are used to empty excess air from the tubing and fill it with chemicals by overriding the speed control
and forcing the chemical pumps to operate at full speed. CAUTION: NEVER PRIME CHEMICAL PUMPS WITHOUT
WATER IN THE TANKS. UNDILUTED CHEMICALS CAN DAMAGE STAINLESS STEEL.
NOTICE: On models manufactured before January 2003, the prime switches and the pumps only work when the machine
is filling with water. The best way to use the prime switches is to remove the rubber drain plugs for each tank while the
fill button is on, which causes the machine to constantly fill with water. Since the plugs are out, the water level will never
rise high enough to turn off the liquid level air switches, thus the water inlet valves and the chemical pumps will operate
constantly. ALWAYS BE CAREFUL WHEN REMOVING THE DRAIN PLUGS, SINCE THE WASH WATER IS HOT.
tIps For trouble-Free operatIon
1. NEVER, NEVER wash ash trays in the glasswasher. Since ashes are smaller than the opening in the Pump Inlet
Screens, ashes could adhere to glasses. Also, with ashes recirculating in the wash water, the cleaning effectiveness of
the detergent is greatly reduced. The final result of washing ash trays is dirty glasses.
2. For best results, keep the Conveyor full of glassware. This keeps the water and detergent consumption to a mini-
mum.
3. Water spotting can occur when glassware is placed on flat surfaces after washing, thus preventing air to assist the dry-
ing process. Make sure the proper shelf liner is used.
4. The maximum glass height is eleven (11) inches to fit through the Top Section of the glasswasher. Keep this in mind
when ordering beer pitchers and wine carafes.
5. Glasses which have been frequently washed by hand may have deposits of invisible “film”. Although initially appear-
ing clean, these glasses may show unsightly signs of “dirt” after passing through the glasswasher. This unsightly
condition will exist until the film is removed with frequent passes through the glasswasher, or it may be necessary to
use a de-liming agent to clean glassware.
6. Do not place wet glasses into glass chillers or frosters. Allow glasses to dry and sanitizer odors to dissipate first.
7. Changing detergents may require readjustment of the Detergent Pump to maintain .30% detergent concentration. A
greater volume of low-strength detergent is required to maintain the proper level.
8. Only Glastender, Inc. replacement parts should be used. Components from other suppliers may result in machine
malfunctions.
Please consult your Glastender, Inc. service agent if service or technical assistance is required. The factory is also
available to answer any operational questions.

Important InFormatIon about chemIcals
The GT-24 and GT-30 glasswashers have chemical pumps that automatically dispense chemicals into the machine. The
detergent and sanitizer chemicals are supplied by a chemical vendor. Since the type of chemicals and the condition of
water varies by region, the chemical pumps are not pre-set at the factory. The chemical pumps must be adjusted at start-up
to achieve the proper titration levels or the machine may not produce good wash results. Typically, the chemical vendor
is responsible for adjusting the chemical pumps.
Since detergent and sanitizer chemicals play an important role in the performance of a glasswasher, understanding how the
chemical pumps work and how to maintain them is very important. Reviewing the following information will help ensure
the proper operation of your glasswasher and its chemical pumps:
1. CAUTION: Never prime chemical pumps without water in the tanks. Undiluted chemicals can damage stainless steel.
NOTE: On models manufactured before Jan. 2003, the prime switches will only operate when the machine is filling
with water (See page 14 for more information).
2. The chemical feed line and the chemical empty sensor line must be attached and properly placed inside the appropri-
ate chemical container. Damaged chemical lines will spill chemicals on the machine and floor and create poor wash
results. Damaged or dirty chemical low-level lines will cause a false low level reading.
3. Every glasswasher requires chemical pump adjustment and titrating by a chemical vendor. Poor wash results will
occur if the chemicals are not in proper concentration (see the operation manual for proper concentration levels).
4. Glasswasher chemicals are highly caustic and will cause severe burns when they contact human skin. These same
caustic chemicals will also corrode stainless steel and destroy machine components. A glasswasher should be checked
regularly for chemical leaks and any leaks should be corrected immediately.
5. All of the chemical tubing on a glasswasher should be inspected regularly and replaced at least once per year. The
highly caustic chemicals cause the chemical tubing to get brittle, and since leaking chemicals destroy glasswasher
components, it is good preventative maintenance to replace chemical tubing often. The various tubing includes the
lower tubing assembly or main chemical feed line, the pump squeeze tube (especially susceptible to damage), and the
upper tubing assembly from the pump to the glasswasher tank.
6. A GT-24 or GT-30 glasswasher can use either Iodine or Chlorine for sanitizer. Iodine is often used in hard water
conditions, because it has a sheeting action the helps to prevent water spots. You cannot switch between these two dif-
ferent chemicals for sanitizing without re-adjusting the chemical pumps, because they require different concentration
levels.
7. Chemical vendors that deliver chemicals to your establishment are typically responsible for adjusting the chemical
levels in your glasswasher. They are also helpful for assisting you with chemical tubing inspection and replacement.
Nothing removes your responsibility for proper maintenance, but the chemical vendor will help.

dIaGnosInG poor wash results
The best way to understand why you are getting poor results is to know what components belong in your machine and how
they are supposed to operate. If you are getting poor results from your GT-24 or GT-30 glasswasher, follow these simple
steps to help diagnose your problem.
Possible Cause
1. The machine is dirty and/or the spray box holes are
clogged. The machine may require de-liming, because
of excess water deposit build-up.
2. The machine is missing components, like the wash and
rinse curtains or the rinse tank guide, which can cause
the wash and rinse water to mix or the rinse water to
be re-used.
3. The chemical feed lines are in the wrong chemical
container.*
4. The chemical containers are empty, so that no chemi-
cals are being dispensed into the glasswasher.*
5. The chemicals are in the wrong concentration. This is
usually evidenced by slimy or greasy feeling glasses,
even though all of the machine components are in
place and the chemical feed lines are in the proper
containers.*
6. The chemical tubing is disconnected or damaged and
leaking somewhere instead of getting into the wash or
rinse tank.*
7. Water is not spraying through the wash or rinse spray
box.
Remedy
1. Clean and/or de-lime the machine.
2. Replace missing components.
3. Put the chemical feed lines in the proper container.*
4. Get a new jug of chemicals. Pump priming may be
required.*
5. Contact your chemical vendor to have the concentra-
tion levels checked.*
6. Replace chemical tubing. Your chemical vendor may
help or contact your service company.*
7. The water recirculating pump is plugged or broke.
Have your service company inspect it.
* NOTE: Commercial dishwashing detergent and sanitizer are highly caustic and will burn human skin on contact.
Please exercise extreme caution when handling.
