If cold water supply temperature is consistently above 90° F (32° C) or if excessive water
vapor or steam is entering the dish room after the condensing cycle is complete, contact
Hobart Service to increase condensing time.
Required owing water pressure to the dishmachine is 15 – 65 PSIG. If owing pressures
higher than 65 PSIG are present, a pressure regulating valve must be installed in the water
line to the dishmachine (by others). If owing pressure is less than 15 psi, improper machine
operation may result. All AM16 models are equipped with a pumped rinse system; therefore,
a water pressure gauge is not required and is not supplied with the machine.
The water pressure regulator must have a relief bypass. Failure to use
the proper type of pressure regulator may result in damage to the unit.
A manual shutoff valve (not supplied) should be installed upstream of the ll hose to
accommodate servicing the machine. It is recommended that a line strainer (not supplied)
be installed in the supply line between the manual shutoff valve (not supplied) and the
connection point on the machine.
All machines ship standard with a 96" long stainless steel braided ll hose with a 3/4" female
garden hose tting. A second ll hose is shipped for machines equipped with both hot and
cold water connections. Make plumbing connections with 1/2" minimum copper piping OD
(3/4" recommended), with a 3/4" male garden hose tting (not supplied).
Drain Connection
A drain hose, 5/8” inside diameter and 6’ long, is provided with machine. This should be
securely plumbed into a drain. Use care not to kink the hose. Drain must have a minimum
ow capacity of 14.5 gallons per minute. The drain hose height cannot exceed 40” above
nished oor.
If a grease trap is required by code, it should have a minimum ow capacity of 14.5 gallons
per minute.
If machine is equipped with ASR, use supplied pumped drain air gap kit (part # 00-562723-
00001) shipped with machine; refer to installation instructions included with kit. For -BAS
and VL-BAS models, pumped drain air gap kit is available through sales using accessory
code PMP-DRAIN-AM16 or service kit part # 00-562723-00002.
NOTE: If machine is equipped with ASR, DO NOT plumb ASR drain line to 3-comp
sink drain.
