The dishwasher must be installed so that the flow of combustion and ventilation air will not be obstructed. Adequate clearances for air openings into the combustion chamber must be provided. Make sure there is an adequate supply of
Keep the appliance area free and clear from all combustible substances. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. The dishwasher must have a minimum clearance from combustible construction of 1 inch from the flue at the rear and 0 inches at the sides. A clearance of 40 inches must be provided at the front of the dishwasher for servicing and proper operation.
The burner is ignited automatically by solid state electronic circuitry; there is no pilot light. Gas flow is regulated by the temperature control circuit.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS — WITH GAS TANK HEAT
The Hobart AM14 / AM14C dishwasher equipped for gas tank heat is not provided with a flue collar and is not intended to have the flue directly connected to a ventilation system. However, the products of combustion must be vented to the outside air. The most common method of venting is a vent hood over the entire dishwasher (Fig. 4). Refer to Rate of Exhaust Flow Calculations on the next page for calculations of the proper vent rate for your hood. Another method is a small vent hood (Fig. 5) positioned about five inches above the flue exit at the rear of the dishwasher and connected to existing ductwork. In either case, an electrical interlock must be provided to allow the flow of gas to the dishwasher burner ONLY when the exhaust system is energized. For additional information, refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, NFPA 54.
•IMPORTANT: Make sure the installation meets the local code for your area.
