Hobart FT900 SERIES Dishwasher User Manual


 
– 3 –
FILL
Assure proper water hardness. Recommended range is 4 – 6 grains per
gallon.
All water (and steam, if equipped) supply valves must be opened and the
electric supply turned on before the machine will function.
Close the drains and doors. Push the POWER ON / OFF switch (Fig. 9-a).
The DOORS CLOSED indicator light (blue) will be lit when all doors are
closed. All tanks will fill (for
10 – 15
minutes).
When all tanks are filled, the water will automatically shut off and the
green INITIAL FILL light will be lit. The proper water level will be
maintained throughout operation by the full-time auto-fill feature.
On machines equipped with Electric Blower-Dryer option, some were equipped with a lighted BLOWER
ON / OFF switch which controls power to the Blower-Dryer (Fig. 9-b) and indicates when the Blower-
Dryer is running. NOTE: A RED light (Fig. 9-b) is provided on Blower-Dryers equipped with electric
heat to alert the operator to
TURN MACHINE OFF, DISCONNECT ELECTRIC POWER, AND HAVE UNIT
SERVICED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN if the blower over-temperature thermostat has been activated.
On machines equipped with Steam Blower-Dryer option, some were equipped with a lighted BLOWER
ON switch which controls power to the Blower-Dryer (Fig. 9-c) and indicates when the Blower-Dryer
is running. When the combination Blower-Dryer switch and indicator light is not provided, the steam
Blower-Dryer is on when the pumps are on.
Push the green START switch at either end of the machine or at the control box — to start the conveyor
and pumps. Push the red STOP switch at either end of the machine or at the control box to stop the
conveyor and pumps. Tanks will continue to heat if the POWER ON / OFF switch remains ON. If a
separate switch is provided for a Blower-Dryer, push once for On and a second time for OFF. If no
separate Blower-Dryer switch is present, the Blower-Dryer should be ON when the pumps are on.
DISHWASHING
To start the conveyor, pumps, and blower-dryer (if not switched separately), press the green START
switch at either end of the machine or at the control box. The conveyor will operate only when all
machine doors are closed and the tanks are filled to the proper level. When equipped with Blower-
Dryer, the Blower-Dryer will operate with the conveyor and pumps. Press the red STOP switch at either
end of the machine or at the control box to stop the conveyor and pumps. The Auto-Timer will
automatically stop the machine if no ware is washed for a preset length of time. The Auto-Timer shut-
off setting can be changed by your Hobart service technician (range is 2 – 8 minutes).
