COMENDA

COMENDA dishwasher spare parts — regular maintenance of the hood lift mechanism and door system ensures ergonomic daily use and safe closing of the COMENDA dishwasher, which is a prerequisite for an effective washing cycle in HoReCa kitchens.

COMENDA hood lift mechanism and door system

COMENDA — the hood lift mechanism of COMENDA hood-type dishwashers is a mechanical or pneumatic element that raises and lowers the hood for loading and unloading dishes. Types of lift mechanisms — in COMENDA hood machines, the lift can be spring or gas shock absorber type; spring lifts wear out over time and lose resistance (the hood suddenly drops); the gas shock absorber wears out when the gas has leaked (the hood becomes difficult to lift or does not stay up). Hood supports and cogs — COMENDA hood supports and cogs are the mechanical connection points between the hood and the machine body; intensive use wears out the cogs and can cause the hood to wobble or close unevenly; replace if the hood is not securely positioned. Hood gasket — the COMENDA hood gasket between the hood and the washing chamber ensures a hermetic seal during washing; a damaged gasket allows steam to escape; the COMENDA hood gasket is a critical spare part to replace as soon as steam leakage is visible. Hood safety lock — the COMENDA dishwasher must not operate with the hood open; the safety lock blocks the machine when the hood is not closed; a damaged lock that allows the machine to operate with the hood open is dangerous and must be replaced immediately. BHS supplies COMENDA dishwasher spare parts.

Spray system and washing chamber

COMENDA — the washing chamber and spray system of COMENDA hood-type dishwashers are the main working areas of the machine. Upper and lower spray arms — the COMENDA hood machine has an upper spray arm (on the inside of the hood) and a lower one (under the rack); both must be cleaned on both sides; if the hood spray arm is clogged, washing from above is incomplete. Cleaning the inside of the hood — the inside of the COMENDA hood accumulates grease and food deposits over time, which can fall onto dishes during washing; clean the inside of the hood weekly. Washing chamber walls — the walls of the COMENDA washing chamber must be cleaned of limescale and grease deposits; the condition of the walls affects hygiene and HACCP compliance. Rack guides in the chamber — the COMENDA rack guides in the washing chamber ensure precise positioning of the rack; damaged guides can cause contact with the spray arm. Also check dishwasher spare parts.

Maintenance and HACCP compliance

COMENDA — regular maintenance of COMENDA dishwashers is a HACCP required action for the hygiene of food contact surfaces. Daily maintenance — clean COMENDA filters after each shift; rinse the inside of the hood; check for free rotation of the spray arms; verify the washing temperature with a thermometer. Hood mechanism check — during weekly maintenance, check the operation of the hood lift mechanism; the hood must lift and lower smoothly without jerking; check the integrity of the gasket. Descaling — descale the COMENDA washing chamber and boiler regularly depending on water hardness; COMENDA descaling products ensure safe descaling without damaging surfaces. Documentation — record all maintenance work, spare part replacements and temperature measurements in the HACCP log; keeping a complete log is a food safety audit requirement.

HoReCa usage scenarios

Restaurant with intensive dinner service — COMENDA; the COMENDA hood gas shock absorber was replaced after the hood no longer stayed up; ergonomically comfortable operation was restored; BHS supplied the spare shock absorber. Large hotel kitchen dishwashing — COMENDA; the COMENDA hood gasket was replaced after visible steam leakage; steam leakage in the kitchen was prevented. Canteen with high dish turnover during lunch — COMENDA; the COMENDA hood safety lock was replaced preventively after 4 years; the machine operated safely without emergency downtime; BHS provides spare parts.

Frequently asked questions

How often should the COMENDA hood gas shock absorber be replaced? COMENDA — the service life of the gas shock absorber depends on usage intensity; in an intensive HoReCa environment with 200+ hood openings per day — 3–5 years; in lighter use — longer; replace when the hood no longer holds its weight or lifts with excessive resistance; do not delay, as a falling hood can cause injuries; check dishwasher spare parts.

Is the COMENDA hood gasket universal or model-specific? COMENDA — the COMENDA hood gasket is model-specific in size and profile; different series and sizes of COMENDA machines have different gaskets; specify the model number when ordering; universal gaskets may not fit precisely and do not ensure a hermetic seal; check AFI.
