Washtech UL Undercounter Dishwasher / Polish-Free Glasswasher
The Washtech UL Undercounter Dishwasher / Polish-Free Compatible Glasswasher is the premier space-saving sanitation powerhouse for modern Australian hospitality venues. Designed to slide effortlessly beneath standard commercial bars and kitchen benches, this versatile machine transitions between a high-capacity commercial dishwasher and a precision, polish-free glasswasher.
Whether you operate a high-end wine bar, a busy boutique cafe, a restaurant, or an intimate hotel lounge, the Washtech UL ensures sparkling results. It eliminates the need for manual glass polishing. This allows your front-of-house team to focus purely on delivering exceptional guest experiences rather than wiping down glassware.
Why the Washtech UL is Best for High End Commercial Kitchens and Bars
A streamlined drink and dining service relies heavily on rapid cleanup turnover and flawless hygiene standards. The Washtech UL is engineered specifically to meet these intense hospitality demands within a compact, space-saving footprint.
- Polish-Free Glass washing Capability: When paired with the optional BA14-DW14 upgrade kit and reverse osmosis (RO) cold water supply, the unit delivers pristine, streak-free glasses. This process stops water spotting entirely. It eliminates the physical labour, towel costs, and breakages associated with manual polishing.
- Massive Hourly Output: Despite its compact undercounter profile, the unit boasts an incredible wash capacity. It handles up to 1,080 plates or 1,500 glasses per hour to keep up with peak weekend rush periods.
- Advanced Acoustic Insulation: Built with full cabinet insulation and a soft-close door mechanism. This design dampens operational noise, making it suitable for front-of-house bar placements where guest ambiance is paramount.
Key Benefits & Operational Advantages
Advanced Touchscreen Controls
Equipped with a modern digital touchscreen interface that gives owners and managers advanced customization control. Kitchen staff can seamlessly toggle settings, monitor wash temperatures, and select cycles with minimal training.
Flexible Rapid Programs
Select between 1, 2, and 3-minute wash programs directly from the touchscreen panel. This allows bartenders or kitchen hands to easily match cycle durations to light or heavy food and beverage residues.
Soft-Start Wash Pump Protection

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What does “polish-free compatible” mean for the Washtech UL?
A: It means the unit can be upgraded with a specialized kit (BA14-DW14) and a cold reverse osmosis water line. This configuration leaves stemware completely streak-free and spot-free, eliminating manual cloth polishing.
Q: Can I connect this dishwasher directly to a standard cold-water line?
A: Yes, it is suitable for cold water connections. However, to maintain rapid recovery times between back-to-back cycles when using cold water, it is highly recommended to configure the unit with a 1-phase 25A or 3-phase 15A electrical supply.
Q: Will this machine fit under a standard bar bench?
A: Yes, with a compact machine width of 597mm, a depth of 600mm, and an overall height of 840mm, it is designed to sit comfortably underneath standard Australian commercial bar benches.
Q: What is the benefit of the soft start wash pump function?
A: The 0.5HP soft-start pump builds water pressure gradually at the beginning of a cycle. This stops delicate wine glasses and chinaware from shifting violently, preventing cracks and breakages.
Q: Does it include automatic chemical dispensers?
A: Yes, the machine is factory-fitted with integrated dual chemical pumps that automatically draw and dose the exact amount of detergent and rinse aid needed for every cycle.
