2.2 Water connection
Must be carried out by an authorized technician
according to the national and local codes.
The machine must be operated with water of drinking quality.
For water with an extremely high mineral content, water
treatment is recommended.
Machines without Softener:
(U.K. only: this machines are fitted with Class "A" Air Gap.)
– Connection if possible to soft (4° Clark) and warm (max. 60°C)
water.
– Line flow pressure 0.4 – 6 bar.
If line flow pressure is below 0.4 bar: provide rinse booster
pump at site.
Machines with Softener (S-models only):
For U.K. see separate information*.
– Connection if possible to warm water (max. 60°C).
– Line flow pressure 1.5 – 6 bar.
If line flow pressure is below 1.5 bar: provide rinse booster
pump at site.
If line flow pressure is above 6 bar: provide a pressure
reducing valve.
– Connect flexible supply hose with union nut

" to site
connection.
– Fit shut-off valve.
* U.K. only: Machines with softener
All United Kingdom installations must be supplied from
storage not mains. Direct connections to the mains supply
contravenes Water Authority regulations.
– Connection if possible to warm water.
The supply water temperature into the machine should not
exceed 60°C.
For temperatures in excess of 60°C, a thermostatic mixing valve
should be fitted at installation.
This valve is available from HOBART Service Centres.
– Fit shut-off valve.
Low Pressure Situations
Below 0.4 bar (6 psi) flow pressure there are two solutions.
a) Provide a suitable water storage tank at a height which will
create a pressure in excess of 0.4 bar or,
b) fit a water pump to increase the pressure.
A suitable pump can be supplied by HOBART at extra cost.
Medium Pressure Situations
0.4 - 0.7 bar (6-10 psi) flow pressure.
Most installations will fall into this category and the machine will
arrive fitted with a solenoid valve designed for this pressure range.
High Pressure Situations
Above 0.7 bar flow pressure.
a) Fit a water storage tank at a suitable height.
b) Fit a pressure reducing valve during installation.
5
2.3 Hot water connection
(hot-water heated machines only)
Must be carried out by an authorized technician
according to the national and local codes.
– Connection to hot water supply (DN 20) on customer site
PN 25 (110°C - 200°C). See data plate !
– The machine is equipped with all necessary fittings.
– Dimension of hot water flow and return piping has to be
according to the requirements.
– Make sure that permissible pressures and temperatures will not
be exceeded.
– All pipework has to be insulated with water and heat resistant
material.
2.4 Steam connection
(steam heated machines only)
Must be carried out by an authorized technician
according to the national and local codes.
– Connection to steam supply (DN 20) at customer site
0.3 - 3.5 bar (max. 150°C) or 3.5 - 10 bar (max. 200°C).
See data plate !
– Dimension of steam and condensate piping has to be according
to the requirements.
– The machine is equipped with all necessary fittings.
– Make sure that permissible pressures and temperatures will not
be exceeded.
– All pipework has to be insulated with water and heat resistant
material.
2.5 Adjustment of shut-off valve with flow reducer for
steam and hot water supply
– The built-in shut-off valve is equipped with an adjustment device
(A) to limit the heating supply medium.
A special tool is necessary for adjusting the valve-seat.
– The correct adjustment is very important particulary for higher
pressure, and therefore must be done by a HOBART trained
service man at first installation or after any changes are done
at the customer site.
– The adjustment is correct if the heating-up time of the boiler is
as long as the shortest wash cycle, while the valve is opened to
maximum.
– If adjusted too far open pressure shocks may occur when the
solenoid valve closes. This could cause damage at the installation.
If adjusted too far close the required heating-power cannot be
achieved.
2.6 Drain connection
– Connection between machine and site drain must not exceed
max. height of drain pump lift of 0.8 m.
– Do not kink drain hose.
A
max. 0,8 m

on option only) Container is empty or conductivity probe (located inside the wash tank)
must be cleaned.
For machines without dispenser: add detergent to tank.
2. Regeneration Pilot light blinks: indicating that regeneration is required.
(S-models only) Pilot light illuminates permanently: regeneration programme is running
(duration approx. 45 minutes).
3. Filling Pilot light illuminates during fill cycle.
4. Drain Pilot light illuminates during drain cycle.
(At the end of drain cycle machine switches off automatically.)
5. Machine OFF
6. Thermometer At the end of a wash cycle the thermometer switches over.
Wash °C
Now a light point moves up and down in short sequences
and indicates the end of the wash cycle.
After the doors are opened the display will switch back into
the temperature mode.
7. Thermometer At the end of a wash cycle the thermometer switches over.
Rinse °C
Now a light point showes the status of the softener.
The 1st light (top) illuminates: the softener has full capacity.
The 6th light (middle) illuminates: the softener has only
50 % capacity.
The 12th light (bottom) illuminates and the regeneration
pilot light blinks: the softener capacity is zero and needs
to be regenerated.
After the doors are opened the display will switch back into
the temperature mode.

4 First run
4.1 Detergent
With built-in dispenser (option):
– Put suction hose (white) into detergent container.
If there is no dispenser in use:
– pre-dosage of detergent is necessary (approx. 150 gram).
4.2 Rinse agent
– Put suction hose (blue) into rinse agent container.
Be careful that you do not confuse the rinse agent
and detergent containers.
As high pressure and high circulation is needed for the
cleaning of utensils, use only commercial low foaming
detergent and rinse agent.
Do not use any acidic detergent products with the built-in
detergent pump.
Please pay attention to the manufacturers safety rules and
instructions.
4.3 Filling of rinse booster heater and predosing
– Switch on the main switch.
– Open shut-off valve.
– Close the doors.
– Push fill button and wait until pilot light of programme II button
illuminates.
The filling time depends on the rinse booster heater and the
water feed temperature (approx. 30 min with 9 kW booster
and 10°C water feed temperature).
– Push programme III button, open and close machine doors.
– Push the timer button, timer pilot light illuminates.
Detergent pump operates, detergent dispenser light illuminates,
wash cycle starts.
– When wash and rinse cycle is over and detergent dispenser
light is still blinking (sign for a too low concentration), repeat the
wash cycle until the light goes off. Open and close machine doors.
4.4 Check
– Open doors and check if upper and lower wash arms rotate
smoothly.
– Check and eliminate any leakages of supply and drain pipework.
– Check direction of rotation of pump motor (see direction sign).
If motor runs against the indicated direction (pump is running
noisily and circulates only a little water) interchange 2 phases
(threephase current only).
This must be carried out by an authorized
technician.

5 Adjustment of detergent concentration
The detergent concentration can be adjusted within 12 steps,
depending upon the water quality and wash result.
The concentration is set at step 4 at the factory.
If the concentration needs to be changed:
– Shut off machine (press machine OFF button).
– Open machine doors.
– Press and hold programme button II, tap the timer button.
The wash thermometer column indicates the detergent
concentration (e.g. 50°C means step 4 of 12 steps).
– Each time the timer button is tapped, the dosage is increased
by one step. When level 12 is reached, the dosage will start
again at level 1 if procedure continues.
– After approx. 8 seconds the thermometer column switches off.
– After adjustment close doors and operate machine as usual.
6 Adjustment of rinse agent concentration
The rinse agent concentration can be adjusted within 8 steps,
depending upon the water quality and wash result.
The concentration is set at step 3 at the factory.
If the concentration needs to be changed:
– Shut off machine (press machine OFF button).
– Open machine doors.
– Press and hold programme button III, tap the timer button,
the rinse thermometer column indicates the rinse agent
concentration between 60°C and 80°C (ignore 80°C to 90°C).
– Each time the timer button is tapped, the dosage is increased
by one step. When level 8 is reached, the dosage will start again
at level 1 if procedure continues.
– After approx. 8 seconds the thermometer column switches off.
– After adjustment close doors and operate machine as usual.
The dosage of rinse agent and detergent depends on the
quality of water.
For economical use of detergent and rinse agent at optimal
levels, adjustment should be in accordance with chemical
suppliers recommendations.
