Miele PFD 401 U MasterLine 24 Inch Undercounter Commercial Dishwasher 240V 6 Minute Cycle Fresh Water Stainless Steel
Miele PFD 401 U — 24" MasterLine Speedplus Undercounter Dishwasher, 240V
The Miele PFD 401 U is the Speedplus model of Miele's MasterLine commercial range: a 24-inch built-under fresh water dishwasher whose fastest program finishes in 6 minutes on a hot water supply. It cleans up to 380 plates or 20 baskets per hour across two full wash levels, uses about 2.1 gallons of fresh water per cycle, and is rated for 5 to 40 cycles a day with a service life of 28,000 wash cycles. Separate hot and cold water connections, an integrated softener, filter monitoring, and Miele's M Touch Flex controls make it a fit for bars, cafés, small restaurants, and canteens. This version runs on 240V / 60 Hz single phase, 30 A with a NEMA L6-30 twist-lock plug.
Key Features of the PFD 401 U
The PFD 401 U is built for commercial volume: short cycles, a wash cabinet that takes standard commercial baskets on two levels, and components rated for years of daily service.
6-Minute Speedplus Cycles
With a hot water supply the Rapid program runs in 6 minutes and Normal in 8; a 5.4 kW heater keeps cold-fill times to 10 and 18 minutes.
Two-Level Cleaning, 3 Spray Arms
Three spray arms clean two full wash levels at once, and the cabinet accepts wire or plastic commercial baskets on both levels for up to 380 plates or 20 baskets per hour.
Fresh Water System
Each cycle uses about 2.1 gallons of fresh water instead of a recirculated tank, with a highly effective filter system and filter monitoring for consistent results.
SaniWash Hygiene Program
SaniWash holds the main wash at 158°F (70°C) for 10 minutes and the final rinse at 140°F (60°C) for 3 minutes; the final rinse temperature is adjustable up to 158°F.
M Touch Flex Controls & Wi-Fi
The touch display offers language-neutral operation, a countdown and program sequence indicator, adjustable holding times, a 24-hour delay start, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Built for 28,000 Cycles
Rated for 5 to 40 cycles a day over a 28,000-cycle service life, with an integrated softener for water up to 62.6 gpg and Miele's Waterproof system against leaks.
