5.7 Connecting the water
NOTE: The machine must be operated with potable water.
5.7.1 Water Requirements
Proper water quality can improve ware washing performance by reducing spotting, enhancing effectiveness of labor and extending equipment life. Water conditions vary from one location to another. The recommended proper water treatment for effective and efficient use of this equipment will also vary depending on the local water conditions. Ask your municipal water supplier for details about your local water conditions prior to installation.
Recommended water hardness is 3 grains of hardness per gallon or less. Higher hardness may cause excessive formation of lime scale. Water hardness above 3 grains per gallon requires water treatment. Water treatment has been shown to reduce costs associated with machine cleaning, reduce deliming of the dishwasher, and reduce detergent usage in the dishwasher.

NOTICE!
Water quality
High iron levels in the water supply can cause staining and may require an iron filter. High chloride levels in the water supply can cause pitting and may require a chloride removal system. Contact Hobart Service or your local water treatment professional for proper water treatment.
Sediment may require a particulate filter. Dissolved solids may require water treatment such as a water softener, reverse osmosis system, etc. Contact Hobart Service or your local water treatment professional for proper water treatment.

5.7.2 Water Connection
A water hammer arrestor (meeting ASSE-1010 Standard or equivalent) should be installed (supplied by others) in the common water supply line at the service connection.
The plumber connecting this machine is responsible for making certain that water lines are THOROUGHLY FLUSHED OUT BEFORE connecting to the dishwasher. This “flush-out” is necessary to remove all foreign matter, such as chips (resulting from cutting or threading of pipes), pipe joint compound from the lines; or, if soldered fittings are used, bits of solder or cuttings from the tubing. Debris, if not removed, may lodge in the dishwasher’s plumbing components and render them inoperative. Solenoid valves fouled by foreign matter and any expenses resulting from this fouling are NOT the responsibility of the manufacturer and associated repair costs are not covered under warranty.
A manual shutoff valve (not supplied) should be installed upstream of the fill hose to accommodate servicing the machine. It is recommended that a line strainer (80 mesh) (not supplied) be installed in the supply line between the manual shutoff valve (not supplied) and the connection point on the machine. Make plumbing connections with ½” minimum copper piping OD (¾” recommended), with a ¾” male garden hose fitting (not supplied).

6.7 Filling chemical tubing (See Operator Menu for priming ­ section 8.1)SETTINGS
WARNING!
Chemical burns, irritation of the skin Filling the chemical tubing with detergent, rinse aid or sanitizer for the first time incorrectly can cause serious injury. Wear protective equipment (gloves, safety goggles, protective clothing) when
handling chemicals. Observe the manufacturer’s application and safety instructions.

OPERATION

7.1 Personnel qualification
The machine must be operated by qualified personnel.

7.2 Special safety instructions
WARNING! Chemical burns, irritation of the skin, scalding
If the door is opened during operation, wash water can spray out and cause injury. Do not open the door during operation, wait for the cycle to finish.

7.3 Notes for optimal washing result
The rinse result is significantly affected by the water quality. If the mineral content is high, the minerals dissolved become visible on the glasses in the form of spots and streaks during the drying process.
A HOBART trained service technician can determine the water’s mineral content by measuring the grains. Recommended water hardness is 3 grains of hardness per gallon or less. Higher hardness may cause excessive formation of lime scale. Water hardness above 3 grains per gallon requires water treatment.
If you have any questions, please contact your authorized HOBART service partner.

Remove right, left and center strainer pans, empty and clean strainers.

Pump strainer clogged.

Remove, empty and clean strainer.

Wrong program selected for heavily soiled wash ware.

Extend the wash program for longer wash cycle.

Rinse aid concentration too low.

Increase concentration (see operating instructions).

Wash ware still greasy.

Detergent concentration too low: increase (see operation instructions). Check if detergent is appropriate. If not, choose a stronger one. Drain contaminated water and refill machine. Ensure better pre-scrapping of the wash ware.

Wash ware left in machine too long after the end of wash cycle.

Remove wash ware as soon as cycle is completed when ware is at its highest temperature to enable better drying.

Rinse aid concentration too high (stripe or bubble formation).

Reduce rinse aid concentration (see operating instructions).

Hard water or high mineral content.

Check water quality.

Improper rinse aid

Consult your local chemical provider
