Installation, Operation, and Care of

INFRARED BOOSTER GAS WATER HEATERS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL

The Infrared Booster Gas Water Heaters (available for natural gas or propane) provide 180°F rinse water for commercial dishwashing machines. Health codes and NSF permit 180°F (minimum temperature) water to be used as a sanitizing rinse for utensils and dishware used in restaurants and food-serving operations. Water enters the gas booster water heater at the inlet water connection, circulates through the gas heat exchanger and stainless steel tank, and constantly maintains the 180°F minimum water temperature at the outlet connection. The table,

amount of hot water that can be delivered by the various Booster Heater models, depending on the incoming water temperature.

, indicates the maximum

Rinse water volume requirements for various commercial dishwasher models and operating rates are available from your authorized Hobart dealer.

INSTALLATION

UNPACKING

Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the Booster Heater is found to be damaged after unpacking, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.

Prior to installation, test the electrical service to assure that it agrees with the specifications on the data plate located on the left-front panel of the booster heater. Be sure that the type of gas supplied to the machine (natural gas or propane) is the same as indicated on the data plate.

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, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition) 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).

LOCATION

Locate the IB Series Booster Water Heater so that the required clearance dimensions are maintained. Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable

vapors and liquids. The booster heater should not be located in an area where water leakage will result in damage to the area adjacent to it or to lower floors of the structure. Where such areas cannot be avoided, install a suitable catch pan, adequately drained, under the heater. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow. Do not install heater directly on carpeting.

LEVELING

Four legs are welded to the bottom corners of the frame to provide the required six-inch floor clearance. Adjustable feet at the bottom of the four legs should be rotated in or out as required to level the booster heater front-to-back and side-to-side in its final location.

COMBUSTION / VENTILATION AIR CAUTION:

Combustion air must not be contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which can

damage the heater.

An adequate supply of air for proper combustion and ventilation must be provided in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or applicable building codes. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the heater.

Per the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, the heater must be vented in one of three ways:

1. Into the exhaust system (Fig. 2). The vent pipe must not penetrate the filter. When the heater is vented into the exhaust system, an electrical interlock must be provided (by others) to allow the flow of gas to the booster heater burner ONLY when the exhaust system is functioning. Refer to APS1 and APS2 on the wiring diagram in the control box accessed by removing the left side panel (also refer to pages 12 and 13).

2. Through the sidewall, or the ceiling (Fig. 3). Type B-1 vent pipe (4 inch minimum diameter for IB57 and IB140, 5 inch minimum diameter for IB235 and IB290) may be used when venting vertically, provided a one inch minimum clearance to combustible construction is maintained and the termination above the roof uses a listed wind cap.

3. Freely vented into the room or space where it is installed (Fig. 4), provided that: a. A mechanical exhaust system is present in the kitchen, b. The flue outlet of the booster water heater is at least 36 inches vertically and 6 inches

horizontally distant from any surface other than the booster / or dishwasher, and

c. Any or all gas fired equipment is installed so the total BTU input rating of the unvented gas

appliance(s) divided by the total cubic feet of the room area (including any areas adjacent that cannot be closed off) does not exceed 20 BTU per hour per cubic foot.
