[GLOBAL_MSG_2]

Fagor iNova Concept WUC-502TBD Commercial Front-Loading Underbench Dishwasher (500x500mm Basket / WaterMark Certified / 15A)

Accelerate commercial dish return, eliminate kitchen bottlenecks, and deliver spotlessly sanitised tableware with the Fagor iNova Concept WUC-502TBD Commercial Front-Loading Underbench Dishwasher. Purpose-engineered for Australian restaurants, busy cafes, pubs, bistros, aged care facilities, childcare centres, and catering kitchens where undercounter space is at a premium, this heavy-duty 576 mm wide commercial warewasher pairs high throughput—washing up to 40 baskets per hour—with advanced European engineering, generous 385 mm clearance, and an economical 2.2-litre water consumption per cycle.

High-Output 40 Baskets/Hour Capacity with 385 mm Usable Clearance

During high-volume service rushes, waiting for clean plates and cookware slows down food passes. The WUC-502TBD offers three selectable electronic wash cycles (90, 120, and 180 seconds) to match varying soil loads—from quick drinkware turnover to heavily soiled main plates. Featuring standard 500 mm × 500 mm commercial racks and an expansive 385 mm vertical door opening clearance, it easily handles dinner plates, large serving platters, pasta bowls, tall beer steins, and GN 1/1 Gastronorm food trays.

Guaranteed 85°C Thermal Sanitisation & HACCP Food Safety Compliance

Australian commercial hospitality operations must strictly comply with Food Safety Standard 3.2.2 requirements for ware sanitisation. The WUC-502TBD features precise electronic probe thermostatic controls that calibrate washing at 60°C and thermal sanitising rinsing at 85°C. Its high-efficiency boiler and volumetric rinse system ensure water pressure and thermal thresholds are maintained throughout every cycle, eliminating bacteria and drying tableware rapidly without chemical residue.

Duo-KLIP Arms, Dual-Flow Wash Pump & Triple Filtration

Clean wash water is essential for streak-free washing. The WUC-502TBD incorporates high-grade technical features:

• AISI-304 Stainless Steel Wash & Rinse Arms: Double rotating upper and lower spray networks ensure full water curtain coverage across all corners of the basket.

• Tool-Free Duo-KLIP System: Spray arms clip on and off without tools for effortless daily nozzle inspection and descaling.

• 680W Dual-Flow Wash Pump: Delivers powerful, uniform hydraulic water pressure while operating smoothly and quietly.

• Triple-Stage Filtering System: High-density scrap trays catch fine food particles, breading, and coffee grounds, keeping wash water clean and protecting the pump impellers.

Fully Integrated Pumping Suite & Australian WaterMark Approval

Unlike stripped-back warewashers that require aftermarket dosing kits and external drainage pumps, the WUC-502TBD is supplied fully equipped:

• Factory-Fitted 40W Drain Pump: Automatically evacuates soiled wash water, allowing installation into elevated waste standpipes or under-sink traps without gravity issues.

• Peristaltic Detergent & Hydraulic Rinse Aid Dispensers: Injects precise chemical ratios on every cycle, preventing chemical wastage and mineral spotting on glassware.

• Australian WaterMark Certified: Independently certified under the WaterMark scheme with an integrated anti-backflow device, ensuring complete compliance with the Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA).

Soundproof Double-Skin Door & Intelligent i-ERROR Diagnostics

Operating a warewasher in open kitchens or near cafe dining passes demands low ambient noise and dependable safety:

• Double-Skin Insulated Door: Soundproofed and heat-resistant construction significantly reduces acoustic emissions while keeping external surfaces cool to the touch.

• Magnetic Safety Micro-Switch: Automatically halts the cycle instantly if the door is accidentally opened during operation.

• Two-Digit LED Display with i-ERROR Diagnosis: Clear digital readouts display live tank and boiler temperatures, along with real-time error identification codes for rapid operational troubleshooting.

Single-Phase 15A Power Setup with Heavy-Duty 51 kg Build

Operating on single-phase 240V power with a 3.48 kW total power draw on a dedicated 15 Amp plug (featuring the larger earth pin), the unit can also be converted for compatible site supplies by a qualified technician. Backed by a comprehensive 2 Years Commercial Parts and Labour Warranty, it provides dependable, low-utility warewashing for demanding hospitality environments.

Technical Specifications

Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation

To protect washing performance, prevent scale accumulation, and ensure commercial hygiene compliance:

1. Power Isolation: Before undertaking routine cleaning, removing wash arms, or clearing internal filters, switch off the machine via the electronic control panel and isolate the 15A power point.

2. Automated End-of-Day Drainage: At the conclusion of service, remove the drain plug (if applicable) and trigger the automatic drain cycle to empty the 20-litre wash tank completely. Never allow soiled wash water to sit in the cabinet overnight.

3. Triple-Stage Filter Cleaning: Lift out the stainless steel surface scrap filters and pump intake basket. Rinse them thoroughly under running water in a commercial sink to clear loose food scraps, lemon seeds, and toothpicks before reseating them.

4. Duo-KLIP Spray Arm Maintenance: Unclip the upper and lower AISI-304 stainless steel wash and rinse arms using the quick-release Duo-KLIP mechanism. Inspect nozzles for mineral scale or debris obstructions, rinse thoroughly under water, and clip back into place.

5. Chemical Line Maintenance: Inspect the clear detergent and rinse aid feeder tubes weekly. Confirm that suction weights sit submerged in chemical drums and that lines are free of dried, crystallised chemical build-up.

6. Water Treatment & Descaling: In Australian hard-water areas, connect the machine to a commercial water treatment filter or water softener. Descale the wash tank and boiler elements periodically with a commercial descaling agent to prevent limescale buildup and maintain heating efficiency.

7. Exterior Stainless Steel Care: Wipe down external panels, the door handle, and the LED screen daily using a soft microfibre cloth dampened with warm water and a neutral commercial sanitiser. Avoid abrasive scouring pads, wire wool, or chlorine bleaches.

8. Washdown Safety: Never wash down the machine with a high-pressure hose or commercial pre-rinse spray gun. Ensure liquids do not enter the LED control facia or lower mechanical access louvres.

Kitchen & Bar Placement Guidelines

The Fagor iNova Concept WUC-502TBD is engineered for commercial wash-up areas, cafe sculleries, and undercounter dishwashing runs:

1. Dedicated 15A Electrical Circuit: The unit draws 3.48 kW on single-phase 240V power and comes fitted with a heavy-duty Australian 15 Amp plug (with a wider earth pin). It strictly requires a dedicated 15A commercial wall socket connected to an appropriate circuit breaker. Never use domestic 10A-to-15A adaptors or standard extension cords.

2. Plumbing Supply & Dynamic Pressure: Connect the flexible inlet hose to a 3/4-inch BSP water supply connection (recommended inlet temperature: 50°C for fastest cycle turnaround). Maintain mains dynamic water pressure between 200 kPa and 400 kPa. If mains pressure exceeds 400 kPa, fit a commercial pressure-reducing valve.

3. Drainage Connection: Thanks to the factory-fitted 40W automatic drain pump, the waste discharge hose can connect into a standard 40 mm standpipe or under-sink spigot located up to 600 mm above finished floor level. Avoid sharp kinks or tight loops in the discharge line.

4. Underbench Levelling: Slide the 51 kg unit into the undercounter cavity and adjust the threaded stainless steel levelling legs until the machine sits plumb and level. Proper levelling prevents water pooling and ensures the counterbalanced door closes with a tight perimeter seal.

5. Tableware Pre-Scrapping: Always scrape bulk food waste, napkins, and garnishes into a bin before racking plates. Pre-rinsing heavily soiled tableware protects the triple-stage filtration system and maintains clean wash water throughout service.
