Configuration decisions
Choose the format for the job.
Washing format, rack compatibility and documented capacity
Compare washing format, rack or dish fit and documented capacity for your service demand. Confirm the exact model’s water, drain, electrical and installation requirements.
Confirm fit and site connections
Check installed footprint, door or hood travel, rack access, water supply, drainage and electrical requirements. Review the actual dimensional drawing and installation instructions before ordering.
Measure twice. Choose once.
Fit means more than equipment width.
Exterior & operating footprint
Installed footprint, door or hood travel, rack access, water supply, drainage and electrical requirements. Use the exact model’s dimensional drawing and installation instructions.
Capacity & access
Washing format, rack compatibility and documented capacity. Confirm the actual model’s usable configuration rather than relying on the category name.
Doorway & delivery route
Measure entrances, corridors, turns, stairs and elevators. Obtain packaged dimensions and weight as well as installed dimensions. Confirm delivery and placement arrangements before ordering.
Electrical supply & receptacle
Check the exact model’s voltage, frequency, phase, rated current, plug and circuit requirements against the site supply and installation manual.
Ventilation & installation space
Confirm intake and discharge locations, required clearances and ambient limits. Preserve access for cleaning and service. An illustrative image does not establish installation clearance.
Water & drain connections
Verify the exact model’s water temperature, pressure, quality and drainage requirements. Use qualified installation support where required by the manufacturer and site.
Capacity, output & included components
Washing format, rack compatibility and documented capacity. Machine or rack and only the accessories and connection components listed in the offer. Read the exact listing and manufacturer documents before comparing models.
Legs, levelling & installed height
Check supplied legs or feet, complete installed height and the manufacturer’s levelling, mounting and movement instructions. Confirm any separate support or mounting components.
Operation & ownership
Look beyond the purchase price.
Energy & operating information
Compare documented energy information and operating conditions for the exact model. Review fuel or electrical input and the operating conditions behind output or capacity figures. Compare like dishwashing and sink tasks under the same documented conditions.
Cleaning & maintenance
Review the exact manual’s cleaning, sanitizing, surface care and service intervals. Plan access to food-contact areas and removable parts, and use the specified products and procedures.
Commercial approvals & suitability
Verify certification and intended use on the actual model’s documentation. Confirm suitability for the proposed application where required; do not assume collection-wide approval.
Warranty, parts & Canadian service
Confirm current Canadian warranty terms, exclusions, installation obligations, claim procedures and local service arrangements for the exact model. Ask about parts and consumables before ordering.
