Miele PFD 408 U — 24" MasterLine HygienePro Undercounter Dishwasher, 240V 3-Phase
The Miele PFD 408 U is the HygienePro model of Miele's MasterLine range and the only one in the series classified to NSF/ANSI 3, the standard US health inspectors look for on commercial sanitizing dishwashers. Every cycle finishes with a 185°F (85°C) final rinse, the shortest program runs in 15 minutes on hot fill, and two full wash levels clean up to 152 plates or 8 baskets per hour using about 4.6 gallons of fresh water per cycle. It adds AutoOpen drying, AutoClose, a code-protectable door lock, and an aerosol steam condenser, and is built for a 28,000-cycle service life. This version runs on 240V / 60 Hz three phase, 20 A with a NEMA L15-20 twist-lock plug.
Key Features of the PFD 408 U
The PFD 408 U trades the PFD 401 U's 6-minute speed for longer, fully sanitizing cycles and NSF/ANSI 3 classification on the same 24-inch MasterLine platform.
NSF/ANSI 3 Classified
Classified to NSF/ANSI 3 for commercial sanitizing dishwashers, and also ETL listed and ADA compliant, for kitchens that must satisfy US health code inspections.
185°F Final Rinse Every Cycle
Each program ends with a 185°F (85°C) final rinse held for 1 minute, driven by a 5.4 kW heater, with adjustable rinse temperature and holding time.
Two Wash Levels, 3 Spray Arms
Three spray arms clean two full levels at once, taking wire or plastic commercial baskets for up to 152 plates or 8 baskets per hour.
AutoOpen Drying & Steam Condenser
AutoOpen assisted drying opens the door at the end of the cycle, while the aerosol steam condenser limits steam released into the room.
AutoClose & Code-Protected Lock
AutoClose pulls the door shut once it is pushed near closed, and the door lock can be code-protected so the cycle cannot be interrupted.
Fresh Water, Softener & Wi-Fi
Fresh water on every cycle with filter monitoring, an integrated softener for water up to 62.6 gpg, M Touch Flex controls, a 24-hour delay start, and Wi-Fi.
