Miele Dishwasher PFD 401 U [WB Marine] – 2 AC 208V 60HZ, Stainless steel

Ten minutes for the shortest programme and 228 plates per hour define the Miele PFD 401 U [WB Marine] as a high-throughput under‑counter machine. With 12 baskets per hour and 17.5 litres of water per wash cycle, it is sized to sit in a tight marine pantry or crew mess without overwhelming the ship’s water or electrical systems.

External dimensions of 820 × 598 × 580 mm (H×W×D) mean it drops into the standard 600 mm niche, which most shipyards already reserve for domestic‑format dishwashers. In-feed height at 216 mm keeps loading ergonomic even when the unit is mounted on a shallow plinth to meet deck-sealing requirements. At 65 kg net weight and a quoted maximum floor load of 1200 N/m², the structural impact on a catering deck or accommodation pantry is modest and easy to justify to the naval architect.

For the on-board services, the figures matter as much as the footprint. Electrical connection is 3 AC 208 V 60 Hz with a total connected load of 5.8 kW, a heater rating of 5.4 kW and a 20 A fuse rating. That lets the laundry or galley designer place it on a small power branch without competing with heavy galley consumers. Water consumption is fixed at 17.5 litres per wash cycle from a single cold‑water inlet, with the required flow pressure between 0.4 and 10 bar, so it will tolerate the variation found on many vessel domestic water systems. The drain pump is DN 22 with a maximum head height of 100 cm from floor level, which gives enough lift into a local waste manifold without resorting to separate transfer pumps.

Inside the wash cabinet there are two levels, with a usable height of 530 mm, 536 mm usable width and basket depths of 474 mm (upper) and 516 mm (lower). That geometry allows full‑size plates and GN‑compatible baskets while keeping the body depth at 580 mm, which is helpful where the galley backs onto a service corridor or a tight shaft. Cleaning performance is quoted at 12 baskets per hour, with a maximum final rinse temperature of 70 °C and up to 10 dishwashing programmes controlled via the M Touch Basic interface. Service life is specified at 28,000 wash cycles, which lets a superintendent map the duty profile of a particular mess or pantry against an expected replacement interval rather than guessing. Noise emissions are low, at 47 dB(A) sound pressure and 59 dB(A) sound power, with heat dissipation into the room at 1.08 MJ/h, so the HVAC and acoustic impact in an open servery or wardroom pantry stays limited.

This machine fits where an under‑counter footprint and standard 600 mm niche are non‑negotiable, and where 3 AC 208 V 60 Hz is readily available. It is less suitable as the primary warewasher in a main galley that needs conveyor‑level throughput or integrated drying, as this version runs without drying and at 12 baskets per hour.
