Hobart ECOMAX F504 Commercial Under-Bench Dishwasher (Made in Germany)

The Hobart ECOMAX F504 Commercial Under-Bench Dishwasher is a high-capacity, German-engineered warewashing solution designed specifically for busy Australian clubs, bistros, taverns, cafes, fast-food outlets, and commercial kitchens. Sized at 576 mm Wide x 604 mm Deep x 820 mm High, this compact floor-standing under-counter dishwasher integrates seamlessly beneath standard workbenches while processing up to 60 racks per hour using standard 500 mm x 500 mm dish racks.

Featuring intuitive single-button electronic controls with a digital temperature display, the ECOMAX F504 provides thorough, hygienic cleaning across 3 selectable wash cycles (60, 120, and 180 seconds) alongside a specialized high-temperature hygiene program. Operating on a versatile electrical setup (240V / 15 Amp single-phase standard plug connection, convertible to 400V 3-phase for rapid multi-cycle recovery), it consumes a minimal 2.0 litres of fresh rinse water per rack across a 25-litre wash tank. Outfitted with rotating top and bottom wash arms, indented anti-clog nozzles, tool-free removable rinse arms, double-walled insulated housing, an integrated rinse pressure pump, and a tank strainer, it comes backed standard by a 12-Month Hobart Manufacturer Warranty.

Technical Specifications

Site Installation & Water Supply Requirements

To guarantee machine longevity, optimal wash hygiene, and validate manufacturer warranty coverage, observe the following setup parameters:

1. Trade Installation: Installation must be conducted by a licensed plumber and electrician observing all local Australian plumbing (AS/NZS 3500) and electrical (AS/NZS 3000) regulations.

2. Water Supply Pressure: Required incoming line water pressure is 0.8 to 6.0 bar (facilitated by the integrated rinse pressure pump).

3. Water Hardness Protection: For complete internal component protection against limescale build-up, incoming water hardness must not exceed 3°dH. If site water hardness exceeds 3°dH, installation of a Hobart HYDROLINE water softener or treatment system is strongly recommended.

4. Back-Flow Safety: Machines fitted with an integrated water softener require an approved back-flow safety device fitted at the site connection point in accordance with DVGW-DIN 1988 standards.

Operating & Cleaning Guidelines

1. Setup & Pre-Heating: Turn on incoming water supply and main power. Press the single-button electronic controller. The unit fills and pre-heats the 25L wash tank automatically, displaying real-time digital wash temperatures.

2. Loading & Washing: Scrap off heavy food scraps from plates into a waste bin before loading items into the 500x500 mm P-18-12 plate rack. Slide the rack into the 360 mm opening, select your wash cycle (60s, 120s, or 180s), close the double-walled door, and press start.

3. Daily Maintenance & Cleaning: At the end of trade, run the automated drain/hygiene cycle. Switch off power, remove and rinse the main tank strainer under running water. Unclip the upper and lower wash arms without tools, clear any trapped debris from the indented nozzles, wipe down the wash chamber, and leave the front door slightly ajar overnight to dry.
