  • Page 6: Installation The installation of the dishwasher must be performed by qualified service personnel familiar with food service equipment. Problems due to improper installation are not covered by the Limited Warranty. The installation must comply with all local electrical, plumbing, health and safety codes. Plumbing connections must be made before the electrical connections. Damage to water heaters will occur if the power is turned on without an adequate water supply. It is the installing plumber's responsibility to flush the incoming water line to remove debris before connecting to the machine. All models have a 6 ft. flexible hot water fill hose with a 3/4 female garden hose connector. A 1/2 or larger main incoming supply line must be installed to the dishwasher. A water hardness of 3 grains/gal (US) or less is recommended. The flowing incoming hot water supply must be between 25-95 psi.
  • Page 7: Installation The dishwasher will not drain correctly if it is connected to a disposer. The drain hose is looped and clamped and must not be changed. Altering the drain hose routing may result in the machine’s inability to drain or may cause the machine to siphon the water out of the machine.
  • Page 8: Installation Drain connection Failure to follow the drain connection instructions may void the warranty. The machine is equipped with a 6ft. [2m] 5/8 I.D. drain hose. The maximum drain height connection must not exceed 3ft. [1m] and must be vented to prevent wash tank siphoning. The drain hose is located at the rear of the machine and is secured by two clamps. A 3/4 hose barb fitting is strapped to the drain. The maximum drain flow is 15 US gpm/12.4 imp gpm/60 lpm. Do not remove the clamps holding the drain hose to the back of the machine. Do not connect the dishwasher to a disposer. Do not reduce the size of the drain hose connection or use a domestic drain fitting.
  • Page 9: Installation Building drain connection must be properly vented. Install the drain hose to an 1-1/2 or larger WYE fitting. Connection to a TEE fitting will prevent the dishwasher from draining completely. Do connect the flexible drain hose to a vented WYE connection. Do not connect the flexible drain hose to a TEE fitting. A 1 (25.4mm) minimum air gap must be maintained between the outlet of the drain hose and the flood-level rim of the drain receptacle. Drain problems are often due to improper installation of the drain hose.
  • Page 10: Installation Electrical connection The installation of the dishwasher must comply with all local electrical, plumbing, health and safety codes. In the absence of local codes, install in accordance with the National Electrical Code, Canadian Electrical Code, and the Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations. The electrical power must be a 2-wire plus ground supply. Check the data plate on the front of the dishwasher for the phase of the machine. If the data plate says the machine is 1 Phase, connect a 1 PH power supply. Connect ground, then connect L1, L2 to 208-230 VAC. Do not connect power to L3.
