For butchers and bakers: New dishwasher cleans trays and baskets

Gütersloh, February/March, 2016 No. 003/2016

Fast, flexible and offering loads of space

A new undercounter tank dishwasher from Miele Professional offers ample space for trays, stainless-steel containers and crates as well as the usual crockery. This model, perfectly suited to the needs of butchers and bakers, is due to be launched in March 2016.

The PG 8169, a 60 cm wide tank dishwasher, can be used either as a free-standing unit or installed under a countertop. With a depth of over 65 cm, it is big enough for bulky items measuring up to 40 by 60 cm on suitable undercarriages or in baskets for trays. Further baskets for bistroware, cups and cutlery allow flexible use after serving lunch, coffee or light snacks.

The special feature of these front-loading dishwashers are programme cycles which afford the ultimate in the protection of loads and which adapt to the needs of various loads and soils: They operate at various spray pressure levels, have flexible cycle times and temperatures and feature optimised water volumes in the rinse cycle as well as well-adjusted detergent concentrations. This makes these machines extremely economical and ensures top-notch cleaning results.

With a 'Short' programme lasting only 71 seconds, this model is able to cope with 48 baskets per hour. The three standard programmes are simple and intuitive to select from the touch display. Pictogrammes support selection by users of different languages, an approach further supported by a colour-coded start button which provides information on the status of programmes as it changes colour from red to green or blue. The display also allows access to additional information such as an integrated set of operating instructions.

Two composite spray arms for washing and rinsing ensure excellent results. A four-fold filtration system constantly filters the water in circulation. Thanks to the hygienic, cove-cornered design of the cabinet, it is impossible for soil to accumulate in corners. Safety functions such as integrated spray arm and filter monitoring detect possible problems at an early stage and relay their findings to the display.
