Abstract:
1. A method of washing wares in a continuous motion style pot and pan washing machine, said method comprising the steps of: causing, via a wash pump, a recirculating fluid flow path of a volume of fluid within a tank of said washing machine; monitoring by a control system one or more compliance parameters relating to operation of the pot and pan washing machine during normal operation; locking out punitively and temporarily by said control system operation of the wash pump based upon said one or more compliance parameters meeting one or more specified punitive lockout conditions, wherein said locking out step includes the step of locking out the operation of the wash pump during a washing cycle when said one or more compliance parameters meet said one or more punitive lockout conditions; maintaining said volume of fluid within said tank after said control system performs said locking out step; and restoring operation of the wash pump when said one or more compliance parameters no longer meet said one or more punitive lockout conditions, wherein said restoring step includes allowing said wash pump to recirculate said volume of fluid within said tank.
