INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND CARE OF
MODEL UW50 UTENSIL WASHER
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The UW50 Utensil Washer is the answer to volume utensil washing problems in your kitchen, bakery or
supermarket operation. The UW50 occupies a minimum amount of oor space (under 48" x 43" with door
open) and does not require separate dishtables. The upper portion of the door raises, while the lower portion
swings out to provide a drain platform. The rack can then be pulled out for easy loading and unloading.
The program selector lets you select a 2-, 4- or 6-minute cycle; each wash cycle is followed by a dwell
and a 15-second rinse. The two upper and two lower wash arms provide thorough cleaning. Four rinse
arms provide a sanitizing rinse at the end of each cycle. The 5-horsepower pump produces 343 gallons
per minute.
The UW50 may be ordered with steam coil, electric or gas tank heat. A top-mounted electric booster is
also available. When equipped with a top-mounted electric booster, a spray hose and nozzle is provided
on the left side of the machine. On models without top-mounted electric booster, the spray hose and
nozzle can be installed in the eld as an accessory. All machines are equipped with a pressure reducing
valve to be adjusted during installation.
Features include: sloping strainer system, self-closing drain with overow, timed ll, wash and rinse
thermometers and rack with inserts for trays. The at rack can accommodate a 140-quart Hobart mixer
bowl.
INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking the UW50, check for possible shipping damage. If the UW50 is found to be
damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
If the Utensil Washer is lifted with a lift truck, place the forks so the drain assembly under the tank is not
damaged.
Prior to installation, test the electrical service to ensure that it agrees with the specications on the data
plate located below the controls (lower right front).
INSTALLATION CODES
Installation must be in accordance with state and local codes, with the national Fuel Code, ANSIZ223.1
(latest edition), if applicable, and the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA70 (latest edition). In Canada,
the installation codes are: CAN/CGA B149.1, CAN/CGA B149.2 and CSA 22.1 (latest edition).
LOCATION
Set the machine in place after the nal oor covering is installed. Make sure the machine is level before
making any plumbing connections. Machines equipped with gas heat require a minimum 3" clearance
from the rear of the ue to any combustible construction. Allow at least 3" at the rear and 18" at the sides
of the machine as a suggested minimum for service access. Allow 13" in front of the machine for the door
to lower and sufcient additional space for the operator to work.

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Plumbing connections must comply with applicable sanitary, safety and plumbing
codes.
Water Supply Connection
Water must be proper hardness. Recommended water hardness is 3 grain or less. Higher hardness may
cause excessive formation of lime scale. Chlorides must not exceed 50 ppm.
A water hammer arrestor (meeting ASSE-1010 Standard) should be provided (by others) in the water
supply line ahead of its connection to the line strainer. The water supply line should be a 3/4" pipe tted
with a 3/4" to 1/2" NPT reducer (supplied by others).
A owing pressure of 15 to 25 psig is required at the pressure gauge, provided. The pressure gauge may
be connected to a petcock, if equipped, and should remain closed, except when the owing pressure is
being checked. A pressure-reducing valve with relief bypass is furnished with all machines.
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.
The minimum water supply

Drain Connection
A proper drain should be connected to the 2" internal threads at the "T" tting underneath the machine.
The drain can be connected on either the left or right side of the "T" tting. The right side of the "T" tting
is plugged at the factory, allowing the drain to be connected on the left side. If it is more convenient to
connect the drain on the right side, remove the plug from the right side of the "T" tting, reinstall it on the
left side and connect the drain to the right side.
GAS CONNECTION (WHEN SPECIFIED)
Check the gas data plate attached to the dishwasher or tag attached to the gas burner tubing for type of
gas to be used.
Connect the gas supply to the machine. Field conversion required for propane gas.
The burner is not adjustable. If line 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.
The burner is ignited by solid state electronic circuitry; there is no pilot light. Gas ow is regulated by the
temperature control circuit via a blower and centrifugal switch system.
STEAM CONNECTION (WHEN SPECIFIED)
Machines equipped with steam coil tank heat have the steam supply connection (3/4" female pipe thread)
located at the rear of the wash tank, 19" above the oor, and a condensate return connection (3/4" female
pipe thread), located at the rear of the wash tank, 123/8" above the oor (a bucket-type trap is furnished).
Flowing steam pressure should be 15 to 25 psig (50 psig maximum). A manually operated steam
control valve (supplied by others) should be installed at a convenient location ahead of the steam supply
connection.

must be vented to the outside air. A vent hood over the entire utensil washer (Fig. 1) can be employed to
vent both the moist air from the wash chamber and the ue gases from the gas tank heat. The volume of
ue exhaust required for venting moist air and ue gases using a single vent hood over the entire utensil
washer must be calculated using the formulas on the next page.
If a powered means of exhaust is used, an electrical interlock must be provided to allow the ow of gas
to the utensil washer burner only when the exhaust system is in operation.
For additional information, refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, NFPA 54 (latest editions).
In all cases, local codes will prevail.
EXHAUST DUCT SHOULD
BE CENTERED IN HOOD
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. Make-up air must be
provided so that the exhaust ow 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 specications: Stainless steel should have a minimum
thickness of 0.037 in. (0.94 mm) [No. 20 Gauge] or copper sheet weighing at least 24 ounces per square
foot (7 Kg/m2); the hood must be secured in place by noncombustible supports and must meet the RATE
OF EXHAUST FLOW CALCULATIONS on the next page.

DETERGENT FEEDER (OPTIONAL BY OTHERS)
If installing a detergent feeder (by others), remove cap to expose 7/8" diameter hole at rear of machine.
RINSE AGENT FEEDER (OPTIONAL BY OTHERS)
If a rinse agent feeder (by others) is being installed, remove the 1/8" NPT pipe plug to access the tapped
hole in the incoming water line below the vacuum breaker on top of the machine.
VENT EXIT
A vent exit (7" x 11" x 10") is provided in the top of the machine to allow for expansion of air. It should not
be directly connected to an external vent.
VENT FAN CONTROL (OPTIONAL); POWER VENT (OPTIONAL)
The Vent Fan Control option (factory- or eld-installed) provides switching for a vent fan (by others). The
vent hood comes on when the UW50 is on and goes off when the UW50 is off. This is appropriate for
a hood over a UW50 with gas tank heat. The Vent Fan Control can be rewired by your Hobart service
technician to control the Power Vent option (not available on UW50 with gas tank heat). Power Vent is
used on UW50 with steam or electric tank heat to exhaust moist air from the chamber after the rinse cycle
is nished. Power Vent operates for 45 seconds. Power Vent (eld installed only) extends upward 131/8"
above the Vent Exit (227/8" above the top of the wash chamber) and terminates in a round duct connection
for a 101/4" O.D. duct.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Electrical and grounding connection must comply with the applicable portions of
the National Electrical Code and/or other local electrical codes.

Rotation of Pump Motor
Before using the machine, check the pump motor rotation to be sure it is rotating in the right direction. From
the front of the machine, the motor should rotate counterclockwise. Looking from the rear of the machine,
the correct rotation is clockwise. Inspection is easiest from the right side using a ashlight and mirror to
check the motor fan in front. Be aware that the mirror will reverse the perceived direction.
If the pump motor is rotating in the wrong direction, follow this procedure.
Disconnect electrical power supply and follow lockout / tagout procedures.
Reverse any two of the three incoming line wires (not the ground wire). Reconnect and recheck rotation
of pump motor.

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Keep the utensil washer clean to provide best results. Do not allow foreign objects to enter the unit,
especially metallic contaminants.
Do not wash aluminum utensils in the utensil washer. The caustic detergent and high water temperature
will cause aluminum oxide formation (black). Copper utensils may require polishing to remove oxide
formation after exposure to utensil washer cleaning for a period of time. Stainless steel utensils should
clean quickly and easily if the food soil is not baked on.
It may be necessary to scrub or prewash some hard-to-remove substances which may not come clean
in the utensil washer with even a 6-minute washing. For stubborn food soil, a plastic scraper, plastic
abrasive pad, nylon bristle brush or sponge with abrasive surface (Scotch Brite) may be used before
washing in the utensil washer. Never use steel wool on ware to be loaded into the utensil washer. Use
only products formulated to be safe on stainless steel. Rinse items thoroughly after scrubbing to remove
metallic debris.
CLEANING THE UTENSIL WASHER
Disconnect electrical power supply and follow lockout / tagout procedures.
The utensil washer must be thoroughly cleaned at the end of each working shift or at least daily. Never
use steel wool to clean utensil washer surfaces.
Turn the Selector Switch OFF.
Open the doors and lift up on the drain lever to drain the
tank.
Remove the strainer pan and strainer basket (Fig. 5), and
empty into a waste disposer or garbage container. Wash and
rinse strainer pan and strainer basket thoroughly. Do not bang
strainer pan or basket on tables to remove food soil.
After the tank has drained completely, lower the overow
tube to close the drain. Reconnect the electrical power to
the machine.

MAINTENANCE
Disconnect electrical power supply and follow lockout / tagout procedures.
MOTOR
The motor has permanently sealed bearings and requires no lubrication.
WASH AND RINSE ARMS
All wash arms and rinse arms should turn freely and continue turning for a few seconds after being whirled by
hand. To check, DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY, rotate arms and remove any obstructions
causing improper operation. Refer to CLEANING THE UTENSIL WASHER on pages 12 and 13.
If the slanted strainer pan and strainer basket are not properly in place, obstructions (such as food particles
or toothpicks) may clog the wash arm nozzles.
DELIMING
Deliming solution must not come in contact with bleach or rinse solution containing
bleach. Mixing may cause hazardous gas to form. This entire procedure must be followed stepby-step for safe and satisfactory results.
The dishwasher should be delimed on a regular basis as required. How often depends on the mineral
content of the water. Deliming should be done when you can see clear signs of lime deposits (a white
chalky substance) on the inside walls and on the wash and rinse arms.
Inspect the machine interior for lime deposits. If deliming is necessary, a deliming agent (available from
your detergent representative) should be used for best results.
Delime as follows:
1. Lift drain lever and drain tank.
2. Remove rack from machine.
3. Close door.
4. Fill machine.
5. Open door and add deliming agent (carefully follow supplier's instructions).
NOTE: The sump holds 27 gallons of water.
6. Close door and allow machine to complete a 6-minute cycle.
7. Open door and lift drain lever to drain tank.
8. Inspect interior of machine for lime deposits. Repeat Steps 3 through 7 if necessary.
Do not allow deliming agent to remain in the machine longer than recommended by the deliming
