Technical Specifications

Site Installation & Water Supply Requirements

To guarantee machine longevity and validate manufacturer warranty coverage, satisfy the following site parameters prior to commissioning:

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) standards.

2. Water Supply Pressure & Temperature: Requires a hot water supply connection with incoming water pressure between 3.0 bar and 6.0 bar (or 0.8 to 6.0 bar if an optional rinse pressure pump is fitted).

3. Water Hardness Protection: For complete machine protection against scale 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. Reverse Osmosis (RO) Compatibility Notice: This machine is not suitable for direct connection to Reverse Osmosis (RO) water purification systems.

5. Back-Flow Safety: Machines fitted with integrated water softeners require a 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 will fill and pre-heat the wash tank automatically, displaying real-time digital temperatures.

2. Loading & Washing: Scrape excess garnishes or liquids from glasses into a waste chute and place items upright into the $432 \times 356\text{ mm}$ glass rack. Slide the rack onto the deep-drawn tracks, select your cycle duration (60s, 120s, or 180s), close the door, and press start.

3. Daily Cleaning & Maintenance: At the end of trade, run the automated drain/hygiene cycle (if fitted with drain pump). Switch off power, remove scrap strainers, and rinse under fresh water. Unclip the top and bottom wash arms without tools, clear any trapped debris from nozzles, wipe down the internal chamber, and leave the door slightly ajar overnight to dry.
