Why this undercounter earns its place
The Winterhalter UC-LE is an undercounter dishwasher for crockery washing in a professional kitchen. Its integral water softener, compact format and touchscreen give operators a clear, self-contained wash-up point.
Its three programmes are set around the crockery load: heavy duty takes 1 minute 50 seconds, standard takes 2 minutes 10 seconds and delicate takes 2 minutes 30 seconds. That makes it easier to choose a suitable cycle for pudding bowls, dinner plates and side plates during a mixed service.
The machine has a smartphone-style full-colour display and can connect by Wi-Fi to an internet-based portal for remote event monitoring, including low-chemical alerts. The wash-arm design is described as reducing water consumption by up to 25%, adding a water-use consideration to the operating routine.
