5 Rinse aid and detergent
Danger
 When handling chemicals, observe the safety notes and the dosage recommendations on
the packaging.
 Use only chemicals recommended for the purpose by the manufacturer to avoid violent
chemical reactions (such as an explosive gas reaction) and material damage.
 Do not mix any chemicals as unforeseen chemical reactions could result.
 Additional products that enhance the cleaning must be approved for use in a commercial
dishwasher. If in doubt, ask your dealer.
Caution
 Use only products that are suitable for commercial dishwashers. Such products are
appropriately marked.
 Do not fill detergent in the container for rinse aid and vice versa.
5.1 Rinse aid
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure that water on the dishes drains off after washing and dries off after a short
while. Rinse aid is dosed into the machine's boiler automatically, either from a storage tank integrated in the
machine or an external storage tank.
The dosing amount is set by the authorised service technician when commissioning the machine ( 12.6).
INFO The rinse aid dosing device is not part of the scope of delivery for all machines. When using an
external dispenser pump, a connector strip is available for connecting the dispenser pump ( 18).
5.2 Detergent
Caution
 Do not use acidic cleaners.
 Do not mix different detergent products in order to prevent crystallisation which could
destroy the detergent dispenser pump ( 5.5)
 Do not use products that can create foam, e.g. hand soap, soft soap, manual washing-up
liquid. Ensure that these do not enter the machine even during the pre-treatment of the
utensils.
A detergent is necessary to ensure that soiling is removed from dishes. Detergents can be dosed as follows:
 Manually as detergent powder.
 Automatically from an integrated storage tank by an integrated detergent dosing device.
 Automatically from an external container using a detergent dispenser pump.
INFO The external container and detergent dispenser pump are not included in the scope of delivery of
all machines. When using an external dispenser pump, a connector strip is available for connecting
the dispenser pump ( 18).
