Installation, Operation and Care Of
C-LINE A & AW DISHWASHERS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL
C-Line A or AW Dishwashers are fully automatic, rack-type washers that convey the rack from
one end of the machine to the other, exposing the ware to progressive wash/rinse action. It has a
stainless steel tank and chamber with a welded stainless steel angle frame, stainless steel legs and
stainless steel adjustable feet. Front inspection door(s) provide access to the interior of the
wash/rinse chambers. CRS and CPW models also have a prewash inspection door. The C44A/AW,
CRS66A/AW, CCS66A/AW, CPW80A/AW, C54A, CRS76A, CCS76A, CPW90A, C64A, CRS86A,
CCS86A and CPW100A machines are capable of either high- or low-temperature operation. The
C88A family is not available for low-temperature operation. Machines are available with steam, gas
or electric heat. A Prewash Unit or Recirculating Scrapper are also available.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT
Controls (Fig. 1)

Fig. 1

The controls are mounted on top of the chamber. There are three operational control switches housed
in the control box: Power (ON-OFF); Motor (ON-OFF); and Timer (MANUAL-AUTO). A pilot circuit
transformer provides a reduced voltage of 115 volts for the machine controls. When equipped for gas
heat, a step-down transformer provides a reduced voltage of 24 volts for the igniter board(s) and
valves.
Motor and Pump Units
The wash/rinse pump(s) are centrifugal-type cast stainless steel with a stainless steel impeller. The
2 HP motor is available in the following voltages:

The conveyor drive motor is a 1/6 HP gear motor with the same voltage as the wash/rinse pump motor.
A 1 HP prewash pump motor is standard on CRS and CCS models. A 2 HP prewash pump motor is
standard on CPW models. Voltage and construction are the same as the wash/rinse pump motor.
All motors have built-in thermal overload protection with manual reset.
Vacuum Breakers
The final rinse and fill lines contain an atmospheric vacuum breaker that prevents any reverse flow of
water from the dishwasher into the potable water supply.
Heater Protection
A float-activated switch located in the wash tank (and rinse tank if included) automatically turns off the
heat supply, if the water level is too low. Once the water returns to the proper level, the heating circuit
becomes operational if heat is demanded.
An overtemperature protector is also provided for electric and gas tank heat, and for built-in booster
if provided. If overheating should occur, the heat supply will be turned off. Turn the Power switch OFF
and contact your local Hobart service office.

Thermometers
Dial thermometers for wash and final rinse are indicated in °F and °C on the faceplate.
Door Interlocks
Door interlock switches will prevent machine operation while an inspection door is open. If a door is
opened while the machine is operating, the pumps and conveyor will automatically turn off. After the
door is closed, the machine must be restarted by pushing the Motor switch ON.
Wash and Rinse Arms
Upper and lower prewash, wash and final rinse arms are removable.
RS Unit and CS Unit – (CRS66A, CRS66AW, CRS76A, CRS86A, CRS110A, CCS66A,
CCS66AW, CCS76A, CCS86A and CCS110A)
The 22" Recirculating Scrapper is a power prewash unit which uses overflow wash water, hence, no
fill valve is required.
PW Unit – (CPW80A, CPW80AW, CPW90A, CPW100A and CPW124A)
The 36" prewash unit is a large power prewash unit which uses overflow wash water, hence, no fill valve
is required.
Auto Fill
Close door(s) and push the Power switch ON. After a 5-second delay, the machine fills automatically.
Auto Timer
The Auto Timer switch is located on the left side of the control box. Designed to save electrical power,
it is adjusted to shut off pump and drive motors a set amount of time after the last rack exits the
dishwasher. To restart, slide a rack into the machine or push the Motor switch ON. To change the time
setting, contact your local Hobart-authorized service office.
Common Drain
A stainless steel common drain tube connects the dishwasher and prewash drains together, thus
requiring only one drain connection at installation.
Front Panel
Stainless steel front panel conceals pumps and plumbing.
Common Water Connection
A single water connection for fill and final rinse is standard. This requires a minimum incoming water
temperature of 180°F for high-temperature machines (140°F for low-temperature machines) for
machines not equipped with booster heater. A minimum incoming water temperature of 110°F is
required for machines equipped with an optional 30 KW Hobart booster heater, and a minimum
incoming water temperature of 140°F is required for machines equipped with an optional 15 KW Hobart
booster heater.

INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking the dishwasher, check it for possible shipping damage. If the machine is
found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Prior to installation, verify that the electrical service agrees with the specifications on the machine data
plate, which is located on the right-hand side of the control box for non-booster machines and on the
left-hand side of the control box for booster equipped machines.
The electrical diagram is located on the inner surface of the control box cover.
After unpacking the dishwasher, remove the items shipped uninstalled (overflow tube, literature
envelope, splash shields, curtains and chamber hole plug kit) and instructions from inside
the dishwasher. Set the dishwasher in its proper location. Adjust the height and level by turning the
adjustable feet.
NOTE: The dishwasher must be positioned and leveled before making plumbing connections.
NOTE: This machine must be operated with an automatic detergent feeder and, if applicable, an
automatic chemical sanitizer feeder, including a visual means to verify that detergents and sanitizers
are delivered or a visual or audible alarm to signal if detergents and sanitizers are not available for
delivery to the respective washing and sanitizing systems. See instructions for electrical and plumbing
connections located in this manual and in the feeder equipment manual. Chemical feeders are supplied
by others.
INSTALLATION CODES
Installation must be in accordance with state and local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSIZ223.1 (latest edition), if applicable, and the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition). In Canada, the installation standards are: CAN/CGA B149.1,
CAN/CGA B149.2 and CSA C22.2 No. 1 (latest editions).

WATER REQUIREMENTS
Proper water quality can improve ware washing 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 to 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 water treatment should be considered and, if recommended, should be installed and
used as directed. Contact your Hobart Service office for specific recommendations.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
WARNING: PLUMBING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE SANITARY, SAFETY
AND PLUMBING CODES.
The plumber who connects this machine is responsible for making certain that both water and steam
lines are THOROUGHLY FLUSHED OUT BEFORE connecting to any manual valve or solenoid valve.
This ‘‘flush-out’’ is necessary to remove all foreign matter, such as chips (resulting from cutting or
threading of pipes), pipe joint compound from the lines or, if soldered fittings are used, bits of solder or
cuttings from the tubing. Debris, if not removed, may lodge in the valves and render them inoperative.
Manual valves or solenoid valves fouled by foreign matter, and any expenses resulting from this fouling,
are NOT the responsibility of the manufacturer.
DRAIN CONNECTION
Connect the drain through a trap to the sewer using 2" pipe. The common drain for the tank(s) requires
only one connection to the floor drain.
If a grease trap is required by code, it should have a minimum flow capacity of 31 gallons per minute.

– 10 –

FILL & FINAL RINSE CONNECTION (Fig. 5)

Fig. 5

Use 3/4" pipe for the connecting line. A flowing pressure of 15 to 25 psig and a minimum temperature
of 180°F must be maintained at the machine for common water connection for a non-booster heat
machine; 110°F minimum temperature incoming water is required for machines equipped with an
optional 30 KW booster heater; and 140°F minimum temperature incoming water is required for
machines equipped with an optional 15 KW booster heater. For long runs, use larger pipe and insulation
to ensure adequate pressure and temperature. If flow pressure exceeds 25 psig, a pressure-reducing
valve (not furnished) must be installed in the supply line.
CAUTION: The water pressure regulator must have a relief bypass. Failure to use the proper
type of pressure regulator may result in damage to the unit.
A pressure gauge is provided for verification of proper water pressure.
STEAM CONNECTION (WHEN EQUIPPED)
CAUTION: Steam supply pressure must agree with steam trap selection. The steam trap
(supplied) will be for either 0 to 20 psig (flowing) or 21 to 50 psig (flowing).
The steam supply must be between 10 and 50 psig flowing pressure. If flowing pressure exceeds
50 psig, a pressure regulator (not supplied) must be installed in the supply line.
If flowing pressure is 10 psig, use 1" piping; if over 10 psig, use 3/4" piping. Steam flow is controlled by
solenoid valves.
If machine is equipped with steam injector(s), one supply connection is required. For single-tank steam
coil installations, two connections are required, one for supply and one for return. For two-tank
steam coil installations, one common supply connection and two return connections (one per tank) are
required.

– 11 –

GAS CONNECTION (WHEN EQUIPPED)
Check the gas data plate attached to the dishwasher or tag attached to the gas burner tubing for type
of gas to be used.
The burner is not adjustable. If flowing gas pressure is above 7" W.C. (natural gas) or 11" W.C. (propane
gas), an additional regulator valve (not supplied) must be installed in the supply line. Static incoming
line pressure should not exceed 14.0" W.C. for either propane or natural gas.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the installation meets the local code for your area.

NOTE: DO NOT use Teflon tape on gas line pipe threads. For gas line pipe connections, use Loctite
565, Hobart part number 546292, or a flexible sealant suitable for use with Natural and Propane Gases.
The appliance and its gas connections must be leak tested before placing the appliance in operation.
Use soapy water for leak test. DO NOT use open flame. The installation must conform with local codes,
or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition). Copies
may be obtained from the American Gas Association, Inc., 1515 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22209.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
Dissipate test pressure from the gas supply line before reconnecting the appliance and its manual
shutoff valve to the gas supply line.
CAUTION: Failure to follow this procedure may damage the gas valve.
IMPORTANT: Gas heat machines must be provided with a means to exhaust the flue gases to the
exterior of the building. Refer to Venting Requirements, pages 13 – 16.
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 make-up air in the room to allow for combustion of the gas
at the burner(s).
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 3" at the rear and 0" at the sides. A clearance of 40" must be provided at the front and
20" at each end 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
Type II Canopy Hood
Most commercial dishwashers must be provided with external venting per local codes. The exception
is electric or steam heat machines operating in the chemical or low temperature sanitizing mode where
the existing room ventilation will compensate for the vapors produced. The local authority has final
jurisdiction over this matter.
Venting can be provided by either the pant-leg duct connections (Fig. 8) or by a vent hood over the
whole machine (Fig. 6).
The Hobart C-Line 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. A vent hood over the entire dishwasher (Fig. 6) can be
employed to vent both the moist air from the dishwashing chamber and the flue gases from the gas
heater. The volume of flue exhaust required for venting moist air and flue gases using a single vent
hood over the entire dishwasher must be calculated using the formula in the Perimeter Calculation
Formula on page 16.
Type I or Type II canopy hoods are recommended. A factory-built commercial exhaust hood may be
listed as conforming to Underwriters Laboratory's standard 710 titled, Exhaust Hoods for Commercial
Cooking Equipment. Hoods must be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Makeup air
must be provided so that the exhaust flow rate results in a positive building pressure in the room where
the unit is located (more outside air than exhaust air). Factory-built hoods not tested to UL standard
710 and custom built hoods must comply with the following specifications: Stainless steel 0.037" [No.
20 Gage] minimum thickness or copper sheet weighing at least 24 ounces per square foot; the hood
must be secured in place by noncombustible supports and must meet the RATE OF EXHAUST FLOW
CALCULATIONS.

IMPORTANT: Gas heat machines must be provided with a means to exhaust the flue gases to the
exterior of the building. Pant-Leg duct connectors (Fig. 7) alone DO NOT provide ventilation for the
gas flue at the rear of the machine. A mini vent hood (Fig. 8) must be used or a canopy type hood may
be used.
Moist air escapes from each end of the conveyor type dishwasher. The exhaust requirements
recommended are a maximum of 200 CFM at the entrance end of the dishwasher and a maximum of
400 CFM at the discharge end. Optional vent hoods or extended hoods may be provided at each end
of the machine. Sufficient make-up air must be provided so the exhaust flow results in a positive building
pressure in the room in which the unit is located (more outside air than exhaust air). Hoods are provided
with 4" x 16" vent connectors with vent dampers which allow adjustment during installation. Typical
construction is for 'Pant-Leg' hood connections to the 4" x 16" vent connectors (Fig. 5). Vent stacks
must be watertight and fit inside the vent connector openings.

Fig. 7

– 14 –

If using the 'Pant-Leg' duct, a mini vent hood (Fig. 8), positioned about 18" above the flue exit at the rear
of the dishwasher and connected to existing duct work, must be used for the flue gases. The volume
of flue exhaust in the mini vent hood should not exceed 200 CFM.

Fig. 8

In either case, if a powered means of exhaust is used, an electrical interlock must be provided to allow
the flow of gas to the dishwasher burner only when the exhaust system is in operation.
For additional information, refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, NFPA 54.
In all cases, local codes will prevail.

RATE OF EXHAUST FLOW CALCULATIONS
Based on the 2004 International Mechanical Code (IMC).
The Rate of air flow required for a vent hood is now based on the linear length of the face of the hood
instead of the area of the hood opening. The length of the hood is measured along the front side that
is parallel with the front line of the appliance (LENGTH, Fig. 9).
For hood designs not covered by these calculations consult the latest edition of the IMC or other local
codes.

Type of Hood

CFM per Linear Feet of Hood

Wall Mounted Canopy

200 CFM

Single Island Canopy

400 CFM

Subtract make-up air flow supplied directly to a hood cavity from the total exhaust flow rate of the hood,
if applicable.

Prescrap dishes thoroughly to remove large food particles and debris. Never use steel wool on ware
that is to be loaded into the dishwasher.
Stack dishes in the racks. Do not stack dishes one on top of another, as water must have free access
to both sides of every dish. Stand plates and dishes up edgewise as shown in Fig. 13. Cups, glasses
and bowls should be inverted in open-type or compartment-type rack as shown in Fig. 13. Silverware
and other small pieces may be scattered loosely over the bottom of a flat-bottom rack.
Do not allow foreign objects to enter the unit, especially metallic contaminants.

Fig. 13

When one rack has been loaded, slide it into the machine and start loading another. The operation of
the dishwasher is automatic. Each rack moves through the prewash, wash and rinse zones, then out
onto the clean dish table. The rinse lever is actuated by the dish rack and automatically shuts off the
final rinse water when no rack is in the rinse zone.
Allow dishes to drain and air-dry before removing from rack.
Machines equipped with the optional conveyor dwell feature will allow you to stop the conveyor in order
to wash heavily soiled dishes for a longer time. When the dish rack reaches the wash chamber, turn
the Conveyor switch OFF to stop the conveyor. To start the conveyor again, turn the Conveyor switch
ON.
