FAQs

This can happen due to several reasons:

  • Wash arms stiff: Remove and clean the wash arms thoroughly. Ensure the water outlet is clear.
  • Clogged wash arm nozzles: Remove the arms, clean the caps, and rinse thoroughly.
  • Rinse nozzles clogged (lime deposits): Decalcify rinse arms and check the site softener system.
  • Incorrect detergent concentration: Adjust the detergent settings.
  • Blocked sieves or strainers: Clean coarse and fine strainers regularly.
  • Wrong program selection: Choose a longer wash cycle for heavily soiled items.

This might be due to:

  • Low rinse aid dosage: Increase concentration as per the operating instructions.
  • Greasy washware: Pre-clean the items and adjust the detergent concentration.
  • Incorrect rack type: Use appropriate racks to facilitate proper drainage.
  • Delayed removal: Remove items immediately after the rinse cycle for better drying.

Possible causes include:

  • Rinse aid concentration too high or too low: Adjust the dosage following the operating instructions.
  • Hard water or high mineral content: Ensure water quality meets the ideal standards (0–3°d hardness). Consider using a softener.
  • Improper rack positioning: Use racks that allow water to drain effectively.

Excessive noise might result from:

  • Foaming due to unsuitable detergent or rinse aid: Use recommended products.
  • Foaming substances on washware (e.g., proteins): Thoroughly pre-clean items before washing.

This could be caused by:

  • Electrical issues: Ensure the machine is connected separately and check site fuses.
  • Faulty components: If a temperature sensor, pressure transmitter, boiler, or tank is defective, contact HOBART Service.
  • Controller errors (all LEDs flashing): Seek assistance from HOBART Service for repairs.

Regular maintenance is essential:

  • Clean wash arms, nozzles, and strainers daily.
  • Check and adjust detergent and rinse aid concentrations as needed.
  • Use appropriate racks and ensure correct program selection for the load.
  • Maintain water quality and descale components periodically to avoid lime buildup.
