Keep your SilverShine CDM cutlery polisher and dryer running at peak efficiency with the CPIGRAN 20lb Replacement Vegetable Granulate. This food-safe, coarse granulate is designed to polish flatware safely and effectively, ensuring your table settings remain clean and bright. In addition to polishing, the granulate absorbs moisture, leaving your flatware dry and ready for immediate use.

Replace the granulate approximately 3-4 times per year, depending on usage, to maintain optimal performance and ensure your flatware is always in top condition.

CDM Granulate Maintenance and Change-Out Instructions

Proper maintenance of your CDM granulate ensures the continued efficiency and effectiveness of your CDM Star system. Follow these instructions for inserting, operating, and changing out the granulate:

Inserting Granulate

1. Prepare the Granulate
   Open the bucket of granulate, ensuring it is ready for use.

2. Pour the Correct Amount
   For the CDM Star, pour approximately 10 lbs (roughly half of the bucket) into the machine. This amount ensures optimal performance during operation.

3. Preheat the CDM
   Before starting, make sure the CDM is preheated to 140°F. This will ensure the granulate operates at its best capacity.

Daily Cleaning

1. Wipe Down Entry and Exit Trays
   At the end of each day, wipe down the entry and exit tray linings and ramps. This step prevents any granulate particles from building up and transferring to your flatware, ensuring consistent cleanliness and quality.

Granulate Change-Out

1. Monitor Granulate Condition
   Over time, the granulate will break down and lose its ability to absorb water. When this happens, it’s time to change it out.

2. Remove Old Granulate
   Ensure the equipment is turned off. Use a shop vac or vacuum to remove the spent granulate from the machine. This method is efficient and ensures all particles are removed.

3. Refill with Fresh Granulate
   Open a new bucket of granulate and pour in the appropriate amount—about 10 lbs for the CDM Star.

4. Maintain Stock
   To avoid downtime, always keep an extra bucket of granulate in stock. This ensures that you can quickly change out the granulate and keep your operations running smoothly.

By following these steps, you’ll maintain the performance of your CDM Star and ensure your flatware is consistently polished, dried, and ready for service.
