GENERAL
INTRODUCTION
This manual is applicable to the models and ML numbers listed on the cover page. Procedures apply to all models
unless specified otherwise. The AM Select Series is designed so that it can be configured to operate either as a
straight-thru or corner installed dishwasher. A 13kW (9 -13 kW voltage dependant) factory installed booster is
available as an option.
MODELS COVERED
AM 15-H: Single water inlet. Incoming water of 110°F minimum is heated by a booster tank mounted on the
machine. The machine is configured for a 70°F rise depending on incoming water temperature. The booster
maintains water temperature to be used for 180°F final rinse.
AM 15-C: Single water inlet. Chemical sanitizing machines for use with 6.0% or 8.40% sodium hypochlorite
solution (bleach) as the sanitizing agent.
AM 15-P: Single water inlet. Water temperature to machine must be a minimum of 180°F for the final rinse. This
water is provided by the customer external of the machine.
SPECIFICATIONS
• Operates as an atmospheric booster (AM15-H with built-in booster).
• Low water protection.
• One incoming plumbing connection to dishwasher through an electrically operated valve.
• The fill/rinse valve is installed prior to the 3.6 gallon booster tank.
• Supply flowing water pressure 20 ±5 psi.
• Provides a minimum 70°F rise with incoming water temperature of 110°F for a final rinse temperature of
180°F at 20 psi (flowing).
• The dishwasher, with the 13kW booster, can operate at full capacity with back-to-back cycles (AM15 - AM15T
- AM15F).
• AM15 machines are available in several operating voltages for single or three phase operation.

Machine cycles 1, 2, 4 and 6 are selected via the keypad. Cycle 1 wash duration is adjustable through the SERVICE PROGRAMMING
mode, where the wash time can be adjusted to values above NSF minimums.
2
Dwell, rinse and sani-dwell times are adjustable to values above NSF minimums. Times chosen for each parameter will apply to all cycle
selections.
3
Default setting for AM15-C sani-dwell is disabled [ dE ]. This parameter is adjustable from 1-15 seconds for AM15-C machines.
REFERENCE MATERIAL
For replacement parts, refer to AM Select Series Catalog of Replacement Parts: F-43094.
Refer to Lubrications Manual F-20067 for current values.
For operation and care instructions, refer to Operator's Manual F-35320.
OPERATION
Power-up
On power-up, the control board will perform a self-test. Once the control successfully completes and exits the self-
test routine, the machine is ready for operation.
Fill Cycle
The fill consists of two parts. The first part of the fill is defined as the time required to fill the tank until the float
switch 1FS closes (150 seconds maximum). The time duration for the second part of the fill is equal to the time
elapsed for the first part of fill multiplied by 1.25 (75 seconds minimum, 120 seconds maximum).
The chamber door must be closed for the fill/rinse solenoid (1SOL) to be energized and begin filling the tank.
Opening the chamber door before the float switch is closed will de-energize the fill/rinse solenoid 1SOL
suspending the fill cycle. When the chamber door is closed, the fill cycle will continue. If the chamber door is
opened any time after the float switch is closed, the fill cycle will be terminated, even if second part of fill did not
complete. When the chamber door is closed after the float switch is closed, a wash cycle will begin.
If the float switch does not close after the maximum allowed time for the first half of fill (150 seconds), an [ E2 ]
error code will be displayed. To clear an error from the display, cycle power by turning the machine off then back
on. When the float switch closes, the controls will begin regulating tank heat. When the fill cycle is complete, the
FILL icon turns off while the tank temperature continues to be displayed. The machine will continue heating the
tank as required to reach and maintain the tank heat set point.

Booster Temperature Control (AM15-H only)
NOTE: The SENSE-A-TEMP™ is on by default for an AM15-H. Adjustments to this selection can be made by the
service technician through CONTROL BOARD PROGRAMMING as outlined in SERVICE PROCEDURES AND
ADJUSTMENTS.
Once the initial fill is complete, if no cycles are run, the booster has eight minutes to reach its set point. If the
booster does not reach temperature within the eight minute timeout, an error code [ EE ] will be displayed. To clear
an error from the display, cycle power by turning the machine off then back on.
The control board is programed to cause the booster heater to turn on at the beginning of every rinse cycle and
turn off at the end of the cycle. This occurs even if the booster water temperature meets or is above the booster
temperature set point. Should the booster temperature be below the set-point, the booster heater will remain
energized until set-point is achieved.
If the booster water temperature is below the booster temperature set point at the end of a wash cycle, and
SENSE-A-TEMP™ is enabled, the wash cycle will be extended (maximum total wash time is one minute). The
extended wash time allows the booster water temperature to reach set point before the rinse cycle begins.
The tank float also controls the heat for the booster. If the float is down (float switch open), the booster heater
circuit will be disabled. If the float is up (float switch closed), the control board will regulate the booster heat as
needed.
Ready Mode
When a cycle is not in progress, the machine will be maintained in a ready state. In the ready state, tank and
booster (AM15-H only) temperatures are maintained. If water level drops below the tank float in ready mode, tank
and booster heating elements are de-energized and a fill cycle will be initiated the next time the chamber door is
opened and then closed. An error code [ Ed ] will be displayed indicating the machine has a slow leak. To clear an
error from the display, cycle power by turning the machine off then back on.
Running a Cycle
After the fill cycle is complete, a cycle is initiated by raising and lowering the chamber door.
NOTE: If the chamber door is raised any time during a cycle, the wash pump and rinse solenoid will de-energize.
The control will start a new cycle once the chamber door is closed.
Changing Cycle Time
Wash cycle duration can be selected at any time whether the machine is at rest or in a cycle. Pressing the CYCLE
button will step through the pre-programmed timed cycle selections 1, 2, 4, or 6. The selected cycle time will be
retained by the control even when power is removed and turned back on.
Cycle selection 1 is programmable allowing the wash, dwell, rinse, and sani-dwell times to be changed from the
default settings. Refer to SERVICE PROGRAMMING as outlined in SERVICE PROCEDURES AND
ADJUSTMENTS for procedures on altering the pre-programmed times of cycle one.
NOTE: Cycle 1's times cannot be adjusted below the NSF minimums.

SERVICE DIAGNOSTICS
WARNING: CERTAIN PROCEDURES IN THIS SECTION REQUIRE ELECTRICAL TEST OR MEASUREMENTS
WHILE POWER IS APPLIED TO THE MACHINE. EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION AT ALL TIMES. IF TEST
POINTS ARE NOT EASILY ACCESSIBLE, DISCONNECT POWER AND FOLLOW LOCKOUT / TAGOUT
PROCEDURES, ATTACH TEST EQUIPMENT AND REAPPLY POWER TO TEST.
CAUTION: Certain components in this system are subject to damage by electrostatic discharge during
field repairs. A field service grounding kit is available to prevent damage. The field service grounding kit
must be used anytime the control board is handled.
1. Lower wash chamber door.
4. Enter service diagnostics.
A. From power off. Press and hold both PROG and SELECT switches on the control board then press and
release the ON key on the keypad. Continue to hold the PROG and SELECT switches until the display
indicates [ 88 ]. Release the switches.
B. When machine is on and tank temperature displayed (FILL icon off). Press and hold PROG switch then
press SELECT switch on control board.
NOTE: When in service diagnostics mode the wrench icon will be displayed except during display test. When
service diagnostics are entered, the control board will display the most recent P and E errors, if errors are present.
A dash ( - ) in place of a number in either the left or right digit position indicates no error to be displayed for that
digit. Example: If [ - 2 ] were displayed, the only fault recorded was, "Water not to float." However, if [ 2 2 ] were
displayed, "Rinse thermistor error" and "Water not to float" have both occurred.
