Classeq C500 Undercounter Dishwasher 13A Three Phase

The Classeq C500 is a 500mm undercounter dishwasher designed and manufactured in the UK for demanding commercial environments. It operates on a 13A three-phase supply and is built around a straightforward two-cycle wash system that keeps operation simple for front-line staff without sacrificing wash quality.

In service, the C500 is capable of washing up to 40 racks per hour — equivalent to around 540 dinner plates — which comfortably supports a busy lunch or dinner service in a restaurant, café, or pub environment. The rinse booster pump works alongside dedicated detergent and rinse aid dosing to maintain consistent results across the full service period, including during peak demand when machines are cycled continuously. The double-skinned, moulded interior helps contain noise and retain heat, which matters in kitchens where the dishwasher sits close to the pass or service area.

From a practical standpoint, the C500 has been designed with day-to-day kitchen operation in mind:

• Click-in, click-out wash arms that can be removed and cleaned without tools
• Bluetooth connectivity via a companion app for access to machine settings, usage data, and user guides
• Compact 600mm-wide footprint that suits kitchens where undercounter space is limited
• Two selectable wash cycles to handle light and heavier loads appropriately

Installation requires a 13A three-phase supply, so it is worth confirming your kitchen's electrical provision before ordering. As with most commercial dishwashers, connection to a suitable water supply and waste is required. One important consideration: in medium or hard water areas, an external water softener is necessary to protect the machine and maintain wash quality — the C500 is also available with an integrated softener if that suits your setup better. The 600mm footprint makes it a practical fit for most undercounter dishwasher positions, though access for installation and future servicing should be considered in tighter kitchen layouts.

The C500 is well suited to independent restaurants, cafes, pubs, and similar operations running one or two sittings per service. For sites with significantly higher throughput requirements — multi-sitting venues or high-volume contract catering — a higher-capacity pass-through or rack conveyor machine may be worth considering. Equally, for smaller operations with modest covers, a lower-output undercounter model may represent a better fit.

If you are unsure whether the C500 is the right match for your service volume or electrical setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit.
