Installation, Operation, and Care ofAM SELECT DISHWASHERS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL
Models AM15 and AM15T dishwashers can be configured for straight through or corner operation.
Model AM15F is configured for front loading. AM15 and AM15T dishwashers are shipped from the
factory in straight-through configuration. Straight-through machines can easily be converted to corner
operation. Model AM15F includes a front-loader shelf and left- and right-side shields as standard
equipment. The front-loader shelf on AM15F can be positioned up (inside the machine during
operation) or down (outside the machine during operation).
AM15, AM15F and AM15T dishwashers are designed to operate in one of two modes: Hot water
sanitizing mode (designated by the letters "AH" or "AP" on the display when the machine is turned on),
or a chemical sanitizing mode (designated by the letters "AC" on the display when the machine is turned
on).
The serial number can be found on the machine data plate located on the bottom of the front panel.
DO NOT attempt to operate this dishwasher in the chemical sanitizing mode without a properly
installed, NSF-certified, chemical sanitizer feeder (not supplied with machine). Contact an authorized
detergent representative for information about a chemical sanitizer feeder.
The pump motor is rated 2 H.P. and has thermal overload protection.
The fill line incorporates an atmospheric vacuum breaker to prevent any reverse flow of water from the
dishwasher into the potable water supply.
The unit, once turned on, will fill the wash tank to the appropriate level and automatically stop filling
once the level is reached.
A float, located in the wash tank, will shut off the heat supply if the water level becomes too low. When
the water returns to a proper level, the heating circuit is again operational.
A frame-mounted 13KW electric booster water heater is available as an option on machines equipped
with electric tank heat. The booster water heater is designed to maintain a minimum final rinse
temperature of 180°F provided the incoming water to the booster heater is at least 110°F.
High-temperature or gas heat dishwashers will probably require a hood or vent over the dishwasher
in order to meet local codes. Low-temperature chemical sanitizing machines or low usage electric heat
dishwashers may not require individual venting of the machine if the room is amply exhausted. Refer
to pages 10 and 11 for venting and hood requirements. Verify with local codes for final authority.
