2. Clean the Scrap Trays: Slide out the interior stainless-steel filters, rinse away captured coffee grounds, or food residue, and reinsert them.

Why Choose the Washtech UD-R For Your Kitchen?

Most commercial under bench units force you to make a choice between a heavy-duty dishwasher or a delicate glasswasher. The Washtech UD-R solves this industry dilemma. It provides the raw heating and washing power needed to clear greasy restaurant plates, yet its soft start pumps safeguards expensive cocktail glasses and wine stems. Furthermore, its ability to run as a polish-free system via reverse osmosis integration ensures that your front-of-house staff spend less time polishing smudged rims and more time serving patrons.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What does “polish-free glass washing compatible” mean for this machine?
A: The Washtech UD-R is engineered to be compatible with specialized water purification accessories (such as the Moffat BA14-DW14 system). When paired together, it completely purifies the rinse water, allowing glasses to dry naturally with zero water marks, streaks, or residue—saving hours of manual hand-polishing.

Q: Can I use my existing smaller glass racks in this dishwasher?
A: Yes. Unlike most standard 500mm machines that only accept 500mm crates, the UD-R features a smart internal runner design that safely accommodates smaller beverage and glass racks down to 365mm in size.

Q: What is the purpose of the “soft start” feature on the wash pump?
A: The 0.5HP wash pump increases its water pressure gradually over the first few seconds of the cycle rather than blasting the chamber instantly. This prevents delicate wine glasses, champagne flutes, and fine porcelain from rattling around and cracking under high pressure.

Q: Does the unit come with the necessary detergent and rinse aid pumps?
A: Yes. The machine features pre-installed, integrated dual chemical pumps. It draws liquid detergent and rinse aid directly from your chemical bottles and injects the exact micro-dose required for a flawless clean.

Q: What plumbing setup is required for the automated drainage system?
A: Because the UD-R features a built-in, powered hands-free drainage pump, it does not require a traditional low-level gravity wall drain. It can easily pump wastewater upwards into a standard under bench sink waste trap or high wall outlet.
