So the 3-compartment sink method is to wash the dishes with soap, rinse off the soap, then rinse the item with sanitizer water and set it aside to dry. It seems weird to not rinse the sanitizer off, but I believe it needs to dry on the dishes for a full antimicrobial effect. Dishes that have been cleaned in this way don't have to then go through the Hobart - it's an either/or situation. If you do use the blue soap on dishes that are going into the Hobart, I recommend giving them a quick rinse first especially if they are tall items like 2 liter pitchers; in my experience the dish machine doesn't always get the soap bubbles off. Sorry you had poor training, I'm a 12 year partner so feel free to ask any more questions!
