High iron levels in the water supply can cause staining and may require
an iron lter. High chloride levels in the water supply can cause pitting and may
require a chloride removal system. Contact you local water treatment professional
for proper water treatment.
Sediment may require a particulate lter. Dissolved solids may require water treatment
such as a water softener, reverse osmosis system, etc. Contact your local water treatment
professional for proper water treatment.
If an inspection of the dishwasher or booster heater reveals lime build-up after the equipment
has been in service, water treatment is recommended. If a water softener is already in place,
ensure there is a sufcient level of salt. Contact your Hobart Service ofce for specic
recommendations.
Water Supply Connection
The plumber connecting this machine is responsible for making certain that water lines are
THOROUGHLY FLUSHED OUT BEFORE connecting to the dishwasher. This "ush-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 ttings 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. Manual valves or 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.
Water supply requirements are as follows:
AM16-ASR, AM16T-ASR and AM16VL-SCB models require both a cold water supply and
a hot water supply.
On AM16VL-BAS, AM16VLT-BAS, AM16VL-ADV, AM16VLT-ADV, AM16-
SVLT and AM16VL-SCB installations, the cold water supply must not exceed 90° F
(32° C) for proper operation. Optimal results are obtained when cold water supply
temperature is below 65° F (18° C). For best results, it may necessary to use 1/2" pipe
for cold water pipe size and minimize the distance between the dishwasher and the
entrance into the building. Pipe insulation will also improve results.
