Asber Tech Line Pass-through Hood Type Dishwasher - GE-H500BDD

The Asber Tech Line GE-H500BDD is a passthrough hood-type dishwasher rated at 40 baskets an hour across three cycles of 90, 120 and 180 seconds, with a continuous cycle until manual stop for a long clean-down. It has a 45 litre wash tank, a 7 litre boiler, uses 2.7 litres of rinse water per cycle, and a drain pump is fitted so waste can be run almost anywhere. It is WaterMark certified and needs a 415 V three-phase supply at 11.1 kW.

Why operators choose the GE-H500BDD

• Three timed cycles plus a continuous mode — 90, 120 and 180 seconds for normal service, and a continuous cycle until you stop it for heavy clean-downs - most machines in this class give you the timed cycles only
• 45 litre wash tank with 4.5 kW heating — a large tank holds wash temperature and detergent concentration through consecutive baskets instead of dropping between them
• 7 litre boiler with 6.0 kW heating — boiler heating power is what determines whether the rinse actually reaches temperature at 40 baskets an hour
• Only 2.7 litres of rinse water per cycle — water is both a supply cost and a trade-waste cost, and this is a genuinely low figure
• Thermostop function — the rinse will not start until the boiler is at temperature, so every cycle sanitises rather than merely finishing
• Wash tank AND boiler temperature both displayed — you can see both, which is what lets a manager verify sanitation rather than assume it
• Drain pump fitted — waste can be run to a connection above floor level, removing the usual constraint on where the machine can sit
• Anti-backflow valve and safety thermostats in tank and boiler — backflow protection on the water supply plus independent over-temperature protection on both vessels
• Built-in rinse aid and detergent dispensers — no external dosing equipment to buy, mount and plumb
• 420 mm door clearance — the figure that decides whether your tallest ware actually fits
• WaterMark certified — required for a plumbed appliance in an Australian commercial kitchen

Specifications

Venue suitability

The GE-H500BDD suits restaurants, cafes, clubs and catering operations with a steady dishwashing load, where 40 baskets an hour meets the peak. The continuous cycle also makes it useful where a long clean-down matters as much as service throughput.

Installation & delivery

This is a three-phase appliance and must be hard-wired by a licensed electrician — it will not run from any power point. 415 V three-phase plus neutral at 11.1 kW; settle it before delivery. The machine is WaterMark certified, which is what allows it to be plumbed in an Australian commercial kitchen — use a licensed plumber. The drain pump means the waste connection does not have to sit below the machine. Check your ceiling height: our data records the cabinet at 825 mm but a hood-type machine needs substantial clearance above that for the hood to lift, and the hood-up height is not recorded — the 1650 mm packed height suggests it is considerably taller, so confirm with our team. Specify water treatment too: scale is what kills a commercial dishwasher's boiler.

Frequently asked questions

Q: How much clearance does the GE-H500BDD need above it?

More than the 825 mm cabinet figure, and we cannot tell you exactly. Our data records the cabinet dimensions but not the height with the hood raised, which on a hood-type machine is the number that matters. The 1650 mm packed height suggests it is considerably taller. Contact our team for the hood-up height before you commit the position.

Q: What is the tallest item it will wash?

Door clearance is 420 mm, which is the practical limit on ware height.

Q: What does the continuous cycle do?

It runs until you manually stop it, rather than for a fixed 90, 120 or 180 seconds. That is useful for heavily soiled ware and clean-downs, where a timed cycle would need repeating.

Q: What electrical supply does it need?

415 V three-phase plus neutral at 11.1 kW, hard-wired by a licensed electrician. Total heating load is split between a 4.5 kW tank element and a 6.0 kW boiler element, with a 0.6 kW wash pump.

Q: Does the drain need to be below the machine?

No - a drain pump is fitted, so waste can be run to a connection above floor level. That removes the usual constraint on where a passthrough dishwasher can be positioned.

Q: What warranty does the GE-H500BDD come with?

Covered for 2 years on parts and labour. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
