Maidaid D512 500mm Undercounter Dishwasher With Drain Pump

The Maidaid D512 is a 500mm basket undercounter dishwasher built for commercial kitchens where counter space is limited but consistent, compliant dishwashing is still a daily requirement. It connects to mains cold water and drainage, sits beneath a standard counter, and is designed to handle the dishwashing demands of smaller food service operations without occupying the footprint of a pass-through or hood-type machine. The built-in drain pump is a practical inclusion — it means the unit is not dependent on a gravity drain, giving more flexibility over where it can be positioned in the kitchen.

During service, the D512 runs three selectable wash programmes, which allows operators to match the cycle to the load — lighter items, standard crockery, or more heavily soiled kitchenware. The thermo-stop function maintains wash temperatures within the correct range throughout each cycle, which supports both wash quality and food safety compliance. A self-cleaning programme helps keep the internal chamber in good condition, reducing the manual cleaning burden between and after services.

The key operational advantages include:

• Traffic light LED display gives clear cycle progress at a glance during busy service
• Integrated chemical dosing removes the need for separate dosing equipment
• Double-skinned construction retains heat and reduces operating noise
• Energy saving mode helps reduce running costs during quieter periods
• WRAS approval confirms compliance with UK water regulations for commercial use

Installation requires a mains cold water supply, an appropriate electrical connection, and a waste outlet. Because the drain pump handles discharge actively, an offset or raised drain position is workable — a genuine advantage in kitchens where drain positioning is not ideal. The unit is designed to fit under a standard counter, but it is worth checking available height and door swing clearance before ordering. Two wash baskets are supplied as standard.

The D512 is well suited to cafés, small restaurants, pub kitchens, and staff canteens running modest cover numbers where a compact and reliable undercounter dishwasher is the practical choice. For operations with significantly higher throughput or longer continuous service periods, a higher-capacity model would be worth considering.
