Abstract
A warewash machine includes a housing at least in part defining a washing chamber having an access opening and a door mounted for movement between a closed position for washing and an open position for inlet/outlet of wares through the access opening. At least one nozzle is included for emitting liquid into the washing chamber. A table is connected to the machine for movement between a load/unload position and a storage position.
Claims25
A warewash machine comprising:
- a housing at least in part defining a washing chamber having an access opening;
- a door mounted for movement between a closed position for washing and an open position for inlet/outlet of wares through the access opening, the door maintaining an upright orientation in both the closed position and the open position;
- at least one nozzle for emitting liquid into the washing chamber;
- and
- a table pivotably mounted to the machine for movement between a load/unload position and a storage position, in the load/unload position the table extends outward from the housing in a rack supporting orientation at a height corresponding to a lower edge of the access opening, in the storage position the table is retracted from the load/unload position, wherein in the storage position the table is within the washing chamber and inward of the door enabling the table to be cleaned by a washing operation of the machine.
