The CMA L-1X undercounter low-temperature chemical sanitizing dishwasher delivers 30 racks/120 covers per hour in a compact 24" x 23-1/2" footprint. Low-temperature chemical sanitizing eliminates the booster heater and high electrical demand of high-temp units, reducing installation cost and ongoing energy consumption at 1.7 gallons per rack — making it an economical choice for operations with lower volume dishwashing needs.
The 12-1/8" door clearance fits standard commercial dishware and glasses. Built-in chemical pumps and deliming system ensure consistent chemical dosing. The sustainer heater maintains incoming water temperature for consistent sanitizing results. Pump purging system eliminates soil and chemical carryover during the rinse cycle. The Work-in-a-Drawer design mounts all electrical components on a sliding drawer for convenient service access. Stainless steel construction, pumped drain, 4" stainless steel legs. NSF, UL, cUL.
The CMA L-1X undercounter low-temperature chemical sanitizing dishwasher delivers 30 racks/120 covers per hour in a 24"W x 23-1/2"D x 31"H footprint — sized to install under standard commercial counters and bars where a full-size door-type machine cannot fit. Low-temperature chemical sanitizing uses chemical sanitizer in the final rinse rather than 180°F hot water, eliminating the booster heater requirement and the significant electrical infrastructure that high-temperature undercounter machines require. This makes the L-1X the right choice for installations where electrical capacity is limited or where a bar-height installation rules out the taller high-temperature machines.
At 1.7 gallons per rack, the L-1X operates below the water consumption of many competing undercounter machines — reducing water heating costs and utility bills over the operating life of the equipment. The sustainer heater maintains incoming hot water temperature throughout service, ensuring consistent wash results regardless of fluctuations in building hot water supply. The pump purging system actively cleans the chemical pump and lines during the rinse cycle, eliminating the soil and chemical carryover that causes contamination of the final rinse in machines without this feature.
The Work-in-a-Drawer service design is a meaningful maintenance differentiator. All electrical components are mounted on a sliding drawer that pulls out from the machine body — providing immediate, unobstructed access to every electrical component without requiring the machine to be moved or partially disassembled. Service technicians can reach, diagnose, and repair components in a fraction of the time that standard machine designs require, reducing labor cost for routine maintenance and emergency repairs. The 12-1/8" door opening accommodates standard commercial dishware and glasses within the compact footprint.
Built-in chemical pumps and deliming system ensure consistent detergent and rinse aid dosing throughout service. Upper and lower stainless steel wash arms with reinforced end caps deliver complete spray coverage across all rack positions. The built-in prime switches and instant start eliminate the priming delay that some machines require at startup. Door safety switch prevents operation when the door is open. Pumped drain allows flexible installation including locations without a nearby floor drain. Stainless steel construction, 4" stainless steel adjustable legs. NSF, UL, cUL listed.
