How to specify Meiko
- Define peak racks/hour and menu soil level (glass vs pots).
- Choose platform: glasswasher, underbench, pass‑through or conveyor.
- Decide water treatment: softener vs GiO RO (for polish‑free).
- Confirm power (15 A/20 A/3‑phase), drainage and tabling layout.
- Set cleaning SOPs (filters, nozzles, seals); book commissioning.
