Lamber L18 Pass Through Dishwasher Sales Sydney
Keep your dishes moving and your kitchen ready for service
When dishes start backing up, your whole kitchen feels the pressure. Choosing your next dishwasher should give you confidence that it suits your workload, fits your wash area and comes with support when you need it.
The Lamber L18 commercial pass through dishwasher offers single-phase operation, a fixed two-minute cycle and a 500 × 500 mm basket. Its inline or corner configuration provides flexibility when planning your dishwashing area.
At Worldwide CDM, we help you check the details before you buy, with practical advice from a family-owned business with over 30 years’ industry experience.
Is the Lamber L18 the right dishwasher for your business?
The L18 is worth considering if you need a commercial hood-type dishwasher for repeated rack washing and have a suitable single-phase electrical supply.
It may suit restaurants, cafés, pubs, clubs and catering kitchens where a pass through layout fits the available space and washing volume.
Before recommending it, we’ll consider:
How many dishes return during your busiest service.
The plates, bowls and other dishwasher-safe items you need to wash.
How your team prepares, loads and unloads racks.
Available space for the machine, raised hood and adjoining benches.
Your existing power, hot-water supply and drainage.
Your budget, replacement timing and ongoing service needs.
A machine’s advertised capacity is only one part of the decision. Your wash area also needs to work comfortably for the people using it.
Unsure whether the L18 will keep up?

How the L18 can fit into your daily workflow
A pass through layout for repeated rack handling
With suitable adjoining benches, a pass through setup lets your team move racks between preparation, washing and unloading areas at bench height.
The layout should support a clear progression from dirty dishes to clean items, with enough space to prepare the next rack and unload the previous one.
We’ll help you assess whether an inline or corner arrangement makes better use of your kitchen.
Straightforward cycle selection
The L18 has a fixed cycle rather than a choice of different wash programmes. This provides a straightforward operating routine for staff handling repeated loads.
Correct preparation and loading still matter. Overfilled racks, overlapping items and food debris can affect results regardless of the machine selected.
Single-phase operation
For a kitchen considering a pass through machine, the L18’s single-phase specification may be an important selection factor.
We’ll check the required connection against your existing setup. A suitable electrical supply must be confirmed before installation; an ordinary outlet should not be assumed to be compatible.
Visible temperature information
The temperature display gives staff a way to monitor the machine during use.
Your team should follow the operating instructions and your business’s cleaning and hygiene procedures. A displayed temperature alone does not confirm that every item has been cleaned correctly.
Will the L18 fit your existing wash area?
The machine footprint is only the starting point.
Before you order, we’ll discuss the full working space, including:
Clearance above the machine for the raised hood.
Space around the handle and loading area.
Entry and exit bench heights and connections.
Access for cleaning, servicing and maintenance.
The location of water, power and drainage connections.
Doorways, corridors, steps and delivery access.
Space for racks, chemicals and clean dishes.
Send us photos of your existing dishwasher, its model plate and the surrounding benches. Include measurements where possible so we can identify any changes that may be needed.
Can your existing benches be reused?
Possibly. We’ll need to check their dimensions, working height, condition and compatibility with the new machine.
Benches shown in product photographs are not automatically included. Your quote will identify any additional tables or accessories being supplied.
Power, water and drainage requirements
Electrical connection
The outlet and circuit must suit the machine’s electrical requirements. Tell us what connection your existing dishwasher uses and provide a photo if you are unsure.
Any required electrical changes should be identified before installation is booked.
Hot-water supply
The L18 installation sheet identifies a hot-water inlet at 55°C and a maximum supply pressure of 600 kPa, equivalent to 6 bar.
We’ll check the applicable inlet requirements against the current documentation and your kitchen’s supply. Water pressure, temperature and recovery during busy periods all need consideration.
Gravity drainage
The documented drainage arrangement relies on gravity. The position and height of your waste connection therefore matter.
If your current dishwasher has a pumped drain, tell us before ordering. We’ll assess the drainage arrangement rather than assume the new machine will connect in exactly the same way.
Ventilation and steam
We’ll discuss the proposed location and any ventilation or extraction requirements relevant to your kitchen.
The suitability of a site should be assessed before purchase, particularly where the machine will operate in an enclosed or poorly ventilated area.
What is included—and what should be confirmed in your quote?
Your quote should make the complete scope clear.
Alongside the L18 itself, we’ll confirm any requirements for:
Installation and connection work.
Removal of your existing dishwasher.
Compatible inlet and outlet benches.
Additional dishwashing racks or cutlery baskets.
A pre-rinse unit.
Detergent and rinse-aid dosing arrangements.
Water treatment, where appropriate.
Delivery and access arrangements.
Accessory compatibility and availability will be checked before supply. Do not assume a pump, additional rack or accessory is included unless it appears in your quote.
Installation of your new machine and removal of the old one
Replacing a dishwasher should come with clear expectations about the work and cost.
Installation may be free, depending on your kitchen setup and the work required.
If changes to connections, benches or access arrangements are needed, additional installation charges may apply. We’ll explain the proposed work and confirm costs before you approve the purchase.
We can also remove your old machine when installing your replacement. Tell us when requesting your quote so we can confirm access, removal arrangements and any applicable charges.
24-month parts and labour warranty
When you purchase your Lamber L18 through Worldwide CDM, we provide a 24-month parts and labour warranty, subject to the warranty terms.
You’ll have a team to contact if something goes wrong. We’ll explain how to request assistance and what information will help us assess the issue.
Correct installation, operation and maintenance remain important. We’ll explain the relevant requirements and warranty conditions before you proceed.
Looking after your Lamber L18
A consistent cleaning routine helps your team identify problems early and keep the wash area ready for service.
Follow the supplied operating instructions, including the correct procedures for:
Removing food debris before loading.
Arranging dishes so wash water can reach their surfaces.
Checking that filters and drain components are correctly positioned.
Using suitable commercial dishwashing chemicals.
Draining and cleaning the machine at the end of service.
Checking for blocked spray outlets, leaks or unusual operation.

Does the L18 automatically start when the hood closes?
The L18 operating sheet describes closing the hood and then pressing the cycle button to begin washing.
We’ll explain the controls and operating procedure for the machine supplied.
Does the L18 include a drain pump?

If you already have a chemical supplier or external dosing system, let us know so compatibility and installation requirements can be checked.
Can I wash large pots and trays in the L18?
Suitability depends on each item’s dimensions, material, rack positioning and cleaning requirements.
Send us the measurements of your largest items before ordering. If your main requirement is washing bulky cookware or heavily soiled pots, we can help you consider a suitable pot washer.
Can the L18 replace an underbench dishwasher?
It may be an option, but it requires a different working layout and overhead clearance.
We’ll assess the available space, bench arrangement, connections and washing volume before recommending the change.

Yes, we can arrange removal when installing your new machine. Please include this requirement in your enquiry so we can confirm the scope and cost.

Yes. Tell us the current model, its age if known and the problem you are experiencing.
