AM16VL-ADV, AM16VLT-ADV, AM16-SVLT, AM16-SCB, AM16VL-SCB dishwashers can be
congured for both straight through or corner operation. AM16-BAS, AM16T-BAS, AM16VL-
BAS, AM16VLT-BAS, AM16-ASR, AM16T-ASR, AM16VL-ADV, AM16VLT-ADV, AM16-SVLT,
AM16-SCB, AM16VL-SCB dishwashers are shipped from the factory in straight through
conguration. Straight through machines can be easily converted to corner operation.
The AM16-BAS, AM16T-BAS, AM16VL-BAS, AM16VLT-BAS, AM16-ASR, AM16T-ASR,
AM16VL-ADV, AM16VLT-ADV, AM16-SVLT dishwashers are designed to operate in hot
water sanitizing mode only (Designated by the NSF temperature requirements of 150°F
Wash and 180°F Rinse. These temperatures can be found on the label located under the
touchscreen controls on the lower part of the machine).
The AM16-SCB, AM16VL-SCB dishwashers are designed to operate in chemical sanitizing
mode only (Designated by the NSF temperature requirements of 120°F Wash and 120°F
Rinse. These temperatures can be found on the label located under the touchscreen controls
on the lower part of the machine).
The serial number can be found on the machine data label located at the bottom of the front
right leg of the machine.
Hobart supplied chemical pumps ship standard with all AM16-SVLT, AM16-SCB and AM16VL-
SCB models. Chemical pumps are available as an accessory kit (eld installed) for all other
models or contact your chemical representative for a chemical feeder system to be supplied
and installed by others.
The wash pump motor is rated 2 H.P. and has thermal overload protection.
The ll line incorporates an air gap on all models to prevent any reverse ow of water from
the dishwasher into the potable water supply. The unit, once turned on, lls the wash tank
to the appropriate level and automatically stops lling once the level is reached. A pressure
transducer reads the water level in the wash tank and shuts off the heat supply if the water
level becomes too low. When the water returns to the proper level, the heating circuit
becomes operational again.
An automatic pumped drain and pumped rinse system are standard on all models.
A frame mounted 7.1kW electric booster water heater is equipped on all hot water sanitizing
models. The booster water heater is designed to maintain a minimum nal rinse temperature
of 180°F provided the incoming water is at least 110°F. For ventless models AM16VL-BAS,
AM16VLT-BAS, AM16VL-ADV, AM16VLT-ADV and AM16-SVLT, the booster water heater is
designed to maintain a minimum nal rinse temperature of 180°F with cold incoming water
of at least 55°F.
Models AM16-SCB and AM16VL-SCB are provided with a 4.3kW electric booster water
heater. The booster water heater is designed to maintain a minimum nal rinse temperature
of 120°F provided the incoming water is at least 90°F (120°F recommended).
Ventless Models AM16VL-BAS, AM16VLT-BAS, AM16VL-ADV, AM16VLT-ADV and AM16VL-
SCB do not require a vent hood. They use an internal condensing system to minimize the
water vapor escaping from the unit during loading and unloading. High-temperature AM16-
BAS, AM16T-BAS, AM16-ASR, AM16T-ASR models typically require a hood or vent over
the dishwasher to meet local codes. Low-temperature chemical sanitizing machines or low
usage electric heat dishwashers may not require individual venting of the machine if the
