The Building Code does not differentiale tlie Cypes of commercial dishwashers other than the exception for undercounter units. There is no doubt that using a Type II hood over a high temperature machine or conveyor s[yle machine is important in reducing the amount of water vapor in a food preparation area. Hot water sanitizing machines require water temperatures of I65 degrees F(minimum) and create a great deal of water vapor when operated. It is important to note that The Building Code excepdon for che undercounter machine states "The second exception exempts under-counter dishwashing machines becausa of the minimal water vapor they produce." 7he consavction of our Model U34 under- counter machine is identical to our Models A4 and AS except it is only 34" tall and has a single door. The amount of water used per cycle, the �vater temperature (120° F minimum), the wash cycle time (90 second.;) and the wash pump and motor are all identical, only the cabinet is different. Also, as a reference, three compartment sinks utilize the same water temperature with the major difference being we use far ]ess wa[er and employ rinse additives which allow [he ware to exit the machine tvith very litt[e water left on the surface. Maay inspectors around the countiy have reviewed this information and agree Uiat a vent hood is not required over an Auto Chlor lo�v energy dishmachine. We look forward to a favorable reply from you soon. If you have any questions, or if I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
