INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking the dishwasher, check for possible shipping damage. If this machine is
found to be damaged, save packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
LOCATION
Prior to installation, verify that the electrical supply agrees with the specifications on the machine data
plate, which is located on the top of the door.
Steam generated from normal operation may escape from the door. Wood, laminates, veneers, etc. are
unsuitable materials for use in areas exposed to dishwasher steam and detergents. Stainless steel or
other moisture-resistant shields are recommended for surfaces adjacent to LXi sides and top.
LEVELING
The machine must be level to operate properly. Place the dishwasher in its operating location. Level
the machine before any connections are made. Using a carpenter's level placed diagonally on the rack
tracks, level the machine front to back and side to side by threading the adjustable feet in or out. After
leveling the machine, cover the exposed threads of the adjustable feet with black rubber tubing
supplied. (See separate instructions furnished with machine.)
WATER REQUIREMENTS
Proper water quality can improve warewashing performance by reducing spotting, lowering chemical
supply costs, enhancing effectiveness of labor and extending equipment life. Local water conditions
vary from one location to another. The recommended proper water treatment for effective and efficient
use of this equipment will also vary depending on the local water conditions. Ask your municipal water
supplier for details about local water specifics prior to installation.
Recommended water hardness is 4 - 6 grains of hardness per gallon. Chlorides must not exceed 50
parts per million. Water hardness above 6 grains per gallon should be treated by a water conditioner
(water softener or in-line treatment). Water hardness below 4 grains per gallon also requires Water
treatment to reduce potential corrosion. Water treatment has been shown to reduce costs associated
with machine cleaning, reduce deliming of the dishwasher, reduce detergent usage and reduce
corrosion of metallic surfaces in the booster water heater and dishwasher.
Sediment, silica, chlorides or other dissolved solids may lead to a recommendation for particulate
filtration or reverse osmosis treatment.
If an inspection of the dishwasher or booster heater reveals lime buildup after the equipment has been
in service, in-line treatment should be considered. If recommended, follow suppliers installation and
use instructions. Contact your local Hobart Service Office for specific recommendations.
