• Intuitive touch controls and online documentation of process data

• Bacteria also reliably removed in 'Super Short' programme

Wherever hygiene tops the agenda, the new commercial dishwashers from Miele's MasterLine series are the products of choice: The tried-and-tested fresh water system takes in clean water for each phase of the programme and uses high temperatures to reliably deal with viruses and bacteria. These products, available in early 2023, are ideally suited to use in care and nursing homes, child-care facilities and schools, hospitals, hotels, restaurants and catering companies.

Thanks to their large touch display, all models from the MasterLine series are intuitive and easy to use, even when wearing gloves. M Touch Basic and M Touch Flex represent two sets of controls giving fast access to favourites and allowing individual adjustment to programmes – intuitive thanks to plain text, symbols and 32 languages. The M Touch Flex version with its colour display takes user convenience to the next level. Programme names, for example, can be changed simply by swiping and tapping.

The new dishwashers remove 99.999% of most bacteria, even in the 'Super Short' programme with its cycle time of only 5 minutes. For its verifiable and above-average virucidal efficacy, the Institute for Integrative Hygiene and Virology– InFluenc_H has awarded this series its Virus Seal of Approval in Gold.

Black virus seal for particularly high standards of hygiene

In addition to this, the model PFD 407 has been awarded the black seal of approval which defines even higher standards. This model with its Vario TD programme offers thermal disinfection, otherwise the preserve of the medical sector, to remove more than 99.99% of enveloped and non-enveloped viruses (for example Corona, influenza and the Norovirus). Reliable safety functions represent a further reason, including a door lock which prevents unauthorised access during active programmes. The parameter values actually achieved are shown in the display at the end of a programme.

All models clean crockery thoroughly and remove for example persistent tea and coffee residues. Redesigned baskets improving the use of space simplify loading and offer ample space on two rack levels. Furthermore, innovative Dry+ technology makes the use of tea towels to finish drying crockery superfluous and takes work off the hands of staff. Without the least manual intervention, plates, cups and cutlery are ready for use again in next to no time, even if they consist entirely or partly of plastics.

Order cleaning chemicals online

The new MasterLine dishwashers connect to the Miele MOVE online portal. This allows the degree of machine utilisation to be tracked on a PC, a smartphone or tablet – even listing which programmes are most frequently used. And there's another practical feature: The simple ordering of detergents and other chemicals via a direct link to the Miele Professional Shop. Similarly, process data vital in ensuring hygienically clean crockery, for instance temperatures and cycle times, can be saved with Miele MOVE and, if necessary, exported. This allows users to furnish proof of hygiene programmes having successfully run through to the end.

MasterLine dishwashers can also be fitted in a tall kitchen unit to meet individual requirements. These models also meet all the provisions of the European Machinery Directive, which is essential if machines are to be used in a commercial environment, and are made from durable materials. Tested for 28,000 cycles, these machines guarantee spotless crockery over many years.
