The advanced digital controls on your dishwasher allow several setup and customization options.
Because these options can affect the operation of the machine, they are all locked-out by default from
the factory. To unlock them for editing, the security level must be elevated to an appropriate level.
It is recommended to keep the dishwasher in the lowest security level possible at all times. This will
prevent options from being inadvertently or intentionally modied from what is expected or acceptable.
The security level will automatically revert back to the lowest allowable level (either Operator or
superOperator, as described below) when any of the following occur:
1) No keys on the keypad are pressed for 10 minutes or more.
2) The machine is placed in standby by pressing the pOWER key.
3) An invalid security Code is entered on the EntEr SEcurity codE? screen.
The following names and descriptions of the various security levels are listed from the lowest level to
the highest level. A higher security level includes all of the abilities of the lower levels plus some extra
abilities, as described below.
nOTe: The letter(s) to the right of the name are the same as the letter(s) you will see on the lower-
left of the EntEr SEcurity codE? screen. Refer to Entering the parameters Menu for more details.
nOTe: The security level does not, by itself, affect the operation of the machine or inhibit the use of
any of the start, stop or power keys or buttons. All of these basic functions are always available in
any security level.
Operator – O
This is the most basic security level and is the one that is enabled by default when the unit is powered
up as initially set by the factory. No security code is required to enter this security level. This level only
allows entering of the security Code to elevate the current security level to something higher.
superOperator – sO
This security level can be set up to be the default level when the unit is powered up, instead of the
Operator security level. If it is set up to be the default level, the Operator security level will not
be accessible until superOperator Access is disabled by a manager or by Hobart service. The
superOperator level does not require a security code to be entered by the user, but is only accessible
if enabled by a manager or by Hobart service.
A superOperator is granted access to a few of the menu options, but not as many as in the Manager
security level. The available options for a superOperator are described in the parameters Menu —
Table 1 and the Communications setup Menu — Table 2, described above.
A manager or Hobart service technician can enable or disable this security level via the SupErop.
AccESS parameter. Refer to Navigating the parameters Menu for more details.
Manager – M
This security level is the highest level attainable by the user. It requires the Manager Code to be
entered before the security level will be elevated to Manager.
This security level offers unrestricted access to all of the options listed in the parameters Menu —
Table 1 and the Communications setup Menu — Table 2, above. Because of this, it is recommended
that power to the machine be cycled off and on when access to the Manager level options are no longer
explicitly needed.
The security Code for the Manager level can be changed by a kitchen manager or anyone with the
Manager Code. The default code is listed in the section titled Entering the parameters Menu. As such,
it is recommended that this code be changed from the default and stored in a safe place where all
kitchen managers, but no one else, can access it. If the code is ever lost or forgotten, it can be reset
by Hobart service.
nOTe: Having Hobart service reset the Manager Code is not covered under either the basic or the
extended warranty.
