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:

Volts Hz Phase Volts Hz Phase

208-240 60 1 380-415 50 3
208-240 60 3 380 60 3
200-240 50 3 480 60 3

600 60 3

1

The conveyor drive motor is a

/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
incoming water temperature of 140°F is required for machines equipped with an optional 15

KW Hobart booster heater, and a minimum

KW Hobart

booster heater.
