Fagor Evo-Concept Undercounter Dishwasher With Drain Pump CO-502BDD

The Fagor CO-502BDD is a front-loading undercounter commercial dishwasher with a built-in drain pump, washing up to 40 baskets — 720 dishes — per hour for cafés, restaurants, pubs and club kitchens that need genuine warewash throughput from a 600 mm footprint. Part of Fagor's EVO-Concept range, it rinses on a constant 2.4 L of water per cycle, takes GN 1/1 trays with 380 mm of ware clearance, and its 830 mm-high case slides under benches from 850 mm.

Why operators choose the Fagor CO-502BDD

• Built-in 30 W drain pump with drainage cycle — wastewater is pumped out rather than relying on a gravity fall to a floor drain, which simplifies undercounter and retrofit installs
• 40 baskets / 720 dishes per hour — 90-second cycle for fast glass and plate turnaround, 180-second cycle for heavier soil
• 2.4 L of water per rinse cycle — constant consumption at 2 bar mains pressure keeps water and chemical costs predictable
• Built-in detergent doser and rinse-aid dispenser — automatic dosing from day one, no separate pump kit to add
• EFFI-WASH hydraulic system with 600 W wash pump — dual rotating AISI-304 stainless steel wash and rinse arms working above and below the basket
• EFFI-SILENT double-skin body and door — pressed insulation keeps noise out of the room and heat inside the machine
• Multipower boiler elements (1.8 / 2.8 / 3.7 / 5.6 kW) — heating output can be set to match the site's electrical supply
• Watermark certified — approved for connection to Australian plumbing

Specifications

Venue suitability

The 40-basket hourly rate suits cafés and mid-volume restaurants, while the 90-second cycle keeps glassware turning over behind pub, club and bar counters. The drain pump makes it the right pick for retrofits where the floor drain doesn't sit directly under the bench, and the 830 mm case drops under standard 850 mm benches. Kitchens needing pass-through speed or oversized pot capacity should step up to a hood-type machine instead.

Installation & delivery

The CO-502BDD connects to a 15 A single-phase supply — not a standard 10 A outlet — so have a licensed electrician confirm the circuit, and use a licensed plumber for the Watermark-certified water and waste connections (2 bar mains pressure). It arrives packed at 690 × 775 × 1105 mm and sits on adjustable feet for levelling. Orders dispatch from the nearest partner warehouse — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide or Perth. The CO-502BDD carries a 2-year parts-and-labour warranty — see warranty information for claim details.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Does the CO-502BDD run on a standard 10 A power point? A: No — it needs a 15 A single-phase circuit. Many commercial kitchens already have a 15 A outlet in the warewash zone; if yours doesn't, a licensed electrician can install one.

Q: Why does the built-in drain pump matter? A: The 30 W drain pump actively pumps wastewater out on a dedicated drainage cycle, so the machine doesn't depend on a gravity fall to a floor drain directly below it — often the deciding factor in retrofits. Our guide to the difference between freestanding and under-bench dishwashers covers how drainage affects machine choice.

Q: How fast is it in real service? A: 40 baskets or 720 dishes per hour. Run the 90-second cycle for glassware and lightly soiled plates, and the 180-second cycle for heavier loads.

Q: What comes in the box? A: One CT-10 dish rack, one CP-16/18 glass rack and two cutlery containers. Detergent and rinse aid are dosed automatically by the built-in dispensers but the chemicals themselves are ordered separately.

Q: How much water does it use? A: A constant 2.4 L per rinse cycle at 2 bar mains pressure, washing at 60 °C and rinsing at 90 °C from the 7 L boiler.

Q: What warranty does it carry? A: 2 years parts and labour, supplier-backed in Australia.
