Undercounter and Freestanding models are hard-wired directly into a junction box. A 20
Amp circuit breaker or fuse is required for models rated at 115V (60 Hz) 1.2kW or 208-
230V (50/60 Hz) 2.0kW single phase. The 230V (50/60Hz) 6.0kw 3-phase models
require a 30 amp 3-phase circuit breaker or fuse.
The 2.0kW models are designed to operate at 230 VAC, single phase, but will operate
safely at nominal 208 VAC. The heater output will be reduced proportionally at 208VAC.
If your glassware washer is converted to a Mobile model, a dedicated electrical outlet is
required. A 20 Amp circuit breaker or fuse is required for single phase models rated at
1.2kW, 115V (60 Hz) or 2.0kW, 230V (50/60 Hz). 115V models are equipped with a 20
Amp NEMA 5-20P plug. 230V models are equipped with a 15 Amp NEMA 6-15P plug.
Mobile Kits are not available for 6.0kW 3-phase units.

Hot Water Requirements

An existing hot water supply may be used as the hot water source for your glassware
washer. Labconco recommends the inlet water temperature to be greater than 120°F
(49°C) to fully activate powdered detergents and raise the glassware temperature to
achieve fast and complete drying. Hotter water will typically produce better washing
results.
Water pressure must be between 20-120 psi (138-827 kPa) at the washer and provide a
minimum of 1.25 gallons (4.7 liters) per minute flow rate at the specified pressure.
A customer supplied shut-off valve should be installed in the water supply line plumbed
to the washer. The hot water inlet valve on the glassware washer is equipped with a
male ¾-11½ Garden Hose Thread (GHT) hose fitting. The supply hose from the shut
off valve to the washer inlet valve is to be supplied by the customer. On undercounter
installations, a minimum extra 3' of service loop is recommended for the supply hose to
allow the washer to be slid in or out of its operating position.
An optional 6' long hose (Labconco Catalog Number 4544600) with ¾-11½ GHT
straight fitting on one end and ¾-11½ GHT elbow on the other side is available from
Labconco.

Purified Water Requirements

To use purified water for the rinse cycle(s), a purified water supply is required. The
washer can be connected to an in-house, pressurized, purified water supply, a water
purification system, or a non-pressurized purified water container. At least 3.2 gallons
