Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Harbour Lights Inn in Port Isaac, Cornwall, found their old warewasher was causing bottlenecks during the busy summer tourist season, with staff having to re-wash plates and  glasses.

"We were constantly playing catch-up, and  the team was getting frustrated. The Winterhalter gets it right first time, every time. The speed and  the quality of the clean are just on another level. It's made our service so much slicker."

Samuel Jones – Head Chef

The new installation has completely cleared their wash-up backlog, improving bar and  kitchen service efficiency by an estimated 25% during peak hours.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure you have a suitable hardwired electrical connection point installed by a qualified electrician.
  • Check that your incoming water pressure is at least 1.5 bar for optimal performance.
  • The built-in drain pump offers flexibility, but ensure the waste hose is securely connected and  has a clear run.
  • Level the machine using the adjustable feet to ensure smooth operation and  proper internal drainage.

Keeping It Going

  • Run the self-cleaning programme regularly (the machine will often prompt you) to maintain hygiene and  performance.
  • Wipe down the 'Smart Touch' control panel with a soft, damp cloth only; avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Regularly check and  clean the internal filters and  wash/rinse arms to prevent blockages from food debris.
  • Always use professional-grade warewashing detergent and  rinse aid for the best results and  to protect the machine.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Undercounter Warewasher

Not sure which warewasher is the perfect fit for your business? Here are a few key things to consider before you buy.

Space & Dimensions

Measure your undercounter space carefully. This compact unit is designed for tight spots, but always double-check height, width, and  depth, leaving room for services.

Water & Drainage

Confirm your site's water pressure and  decide if you need a drain pump. This model includes one, which is a huge plus for tricky installation sites without a floor drain.

Capacity & Throughput

How many racks do you wash per hour at your busiest? This unit's capacity is ideal for bustling pubs, cafes, and  medium-sized restaurants.

Running Costs

Look for models designed for efficiency. This Winterhalter is engineered to reduce water and  energy consumption, saving you money on utility bills over its lifetime.

Glasses, Dishes, or Both?

Decide if you need a dedicated glasswasher or a versatile warewasher. This model's VarioPower makes it a brilliant all-rounder for both delicate and  durable items.

Ever worried about a powerful dishwasher jet cracking a delicate champagne flute? VarioPower solves that exact problem. It's an intelligent system that automatically adjusts the water pressure based on the wash cycle you've selected.

This means you get a perfect, tailored clean every time, protecting your expensive glassware and  ensuring your crockery is spotless, all without you having to think about it.
