Frequently Asked Questions
- What does 30 racks per hour mean in real world use?
- It means the dishwasher is rated to process up to 30 standard dish racks in an hour under normal operating conditions. Actual throughput can vary based on how quickly racks are scraped, loaded, and moved through the dish area.
- Is the DIHR OPTIMA 12 HR PLUS USA a high temperature sanitizing dishwasher?

- What type of business is this hood dishwasher best for?
- It is a strong choice for restaurants, cafés, hotels, banquet kitchens, and institutions that need faster rack throughput than an undercounter unit and want the efficiency of a pass through hood machine.
- Does a high temperature hood dishwasher require a booster heater?
- Many high temperature commercial dishwashers require properly sized hot water supply and may require a booster heater to reach sanitizing rinse temperatures. Requirements depend on site water temperature, local codes, and the specific installation. Confirm with your installer and local health regulations.
