Abstract

This specification covers the material, design, and performance requirements pertinent to the construction of spray-type, stationary rack commercial dishwashing machines that are manually fed yet automatically controlled to uniformly wash, rinse, and sanitize eating and drinking utensils. Representative production models of the washers shall pass performance, operation, leakage, and energy and productivity tests, and should function satisfactorily as specified. Certification, product marking, and packaging are also considered.
