    ETERGENT ISPENSER The detergent and rinse aid/agent dispenser is located on the inside of the DishDrawer®. The detergent dispenser has two compartments, pre wash and main wash compartment. The pre wash and main wash compartments both have markings on the inside. The pre wash compartment has one marking which represents 1tsp/5g and when full 2tsp/10g.

  • Page 17 Bleaching Agents and Activators Bleaching agents decolourise soils like tea, coffee, lipstick and red wine. Modern dishwashing detergents no longer contain active chlorine as a bleaching agent but active oxygen (sodium perborate). Active oxygen is less toxic and less aggressive than active chlorine. Under normal conditions the active oxygen works at higher temperatures but an activator (TAED) is added to start the bleach at lower temperatures.
  • Page 18 Rinse aid/agent is required to accelerate the drying period and increase the shine of dishes at the end of the wash programme. Rinse aid is an integral part of the dishwashing process. It performs an equally important function as the dishwasher detergent itself. Rinse aid breaks down the surface tension of the final rinse water.
  • Page 19 History Dishwasher tablets were introduced into the American market in the 1960’ s. Unfortunately the tablets were not successful due to unsatisfactory disintegration and solubility properties; they disappeared from the market. The tablets were introduced again in the mid 1980s and since then have gained a big market share in the European market, both in automatic dishwashing detergent but also laundry and toilet cleaners.
  • Page 20 ROBLEMS WITH ABLETS In the DishDrawer® the tablets will become a problem if the tablet is put into the detergent dispenser. Due to the nature of the detergent dispenser, the flow rate of 4L/min ± 25%, (dependent on the inlet valve) will not dissolve a complete tablet during one fill. See pictures below. Fig 1: After filling for the main wash Fig 2: After the post rinse 2 If the tab is put into the cutlery basket with the current wash programs, version EE103, most of the...
  • Page 21 The tablets are normally used in conventional dishwasher situations in soft water situations. In the case of soft water situations there may be a problem with over dosing. In situations like this, there may be problem with glasses going opaque, scratchy. In hard water situations it may be beneficial for the DishDrawer®...
  • Page 22 O YOU STILL SEE EA STAINS OR DOES YOU DISHWASHER SMELL AFTER WASH ERE IS THE REASON WHY We have a number of inquiries from our Customer Care Centre in regard to smells from dishwashers and tea stains not being removed after using enzymic based detergents like Finish. There are number of reasons why this might occur.
  • Page 23 Hard water is water that contains dissolved chalk, lime and other minerals. Rainwater is naturally soft, but when the water filters through the chalk and limestone, present in the ground. It can dissolve some of the minerals and remains in solution. The solution contains salts of calcium and magnesium like bicarbonates, chlorides and sulphates.
  • Page 24 Depending on who you talk to and what you read, there is no magical number that says this unit of water hardness constitutes soft, medium or hard water. The table below illustrates what we believe to be soft, medium and hard water. (see below for Europe’ s classification for water hardness). ATER EDIUM <...

  • Page 36 The soils are applied in the afternoon and then left to dry for one hour. After the drying period, the dinner plates and bread & butter plates are scraped six to eight times except for the raspberry jam, to remove food soils. The platters are scrapped 8-10 times with a knife and the serving bowls are scraped 8 –10 times with a teaspoon.

  • Page 38 We have many questions as to why different countries have different place settings. Our definition of place setting comes from the respective standards that we test to for the specific country. In New Zealand/Australia, we can fit 7/14 ps into DS603 and DD603 respectively, the reason why the place settings are larger is because there are no serving pieces included in the AS2007.1 standard ie platter and serving bowls.
  • Page 39 All wash programmes are not tested to every standard, as all these tests are very time consuming ie 5 hours to one week for one result. The EN testing requires five individual tests to make up one result, this is a weeks worth of testing. These cycles have been maximised for the respective standards testing.

  • Page 43 The forceful action, hot water and alkaline detergent in a dishwasher can be harmful to some items. Always check the dishware manufacturer's instructions about washing. Here are some items to be considered with caution: About Plastics There are two kinds of plastic, thermoplastic and thermosetting. Examples of thermoplastics are acrylics, nylon, polyethylene, polystyrene and vinyl.
  • Page 44 Stoneware differs from china because it is not transluscent, but has the opacity of earthenware. It is somewhat heavier than porcelain china, resembling the weight of earthenware. Porcelain China is usually creamy or white and is transluscent. When you hold the plate up, you can see the shadow of your hand.
  • Page 45 Soda Lime Glass Soda lime glass is composed of pure silica glass, lime oxide, soda oxide and sometimes potash. This is the most widely used type of glass. It is inexpensive to make and commonly found in household items like drinking glass, bottles and window glass. Lead Glass Substituting lead oxide for lime oxide, the glass becomes soft at lower heating temperatures.
  • Page 46 When soda lime glass is exposed to water, the water dissolves the sodium ions out of the surface of the glass to form an alkaline sodium hydroxide. This in turn attacks the silica in the glass, the added alkalinity of the dishwashing solution increases the probability of etching.
  • Page 47 Other causes of corrosion are from polishing steel with an abrasive cleaner as it will wear both the oxide film and the conditioning of the surface. Soaking stainless steel in bleaching solutions will lead to corrosion and with localised heating. Salts of water solids will stain stainless steel. Pitting is caused by a pinpoint break over the protective surface area eg caused by a salt crystal.
  • Page 48 Caring for your Aluminium Never use less than 10g of detergent in wash to ensure adequate Al protection during the wash. Load utensils in the dishwasher so the rinse water can reach all surfaces to completely remove all wash solutions. Ensure the Al utensil is thoroughly dried before putting it away.
  • Page 49 The inserts and racks can be added or removed to suit your individual needs. If there are two DishDrawers, the accessories are interchangeable between the two drawers. For example one can combine two Mega racks into one drawer and wash all cups and glasses see the example below, leaving the other drawer for plates and larger items.
  • Page 50 e DishDrawer® The wash water for the DishDrawer® comes from the spray arm, which is situated at the bottom of the DishDrawer®. Care must be taken to ensure that dishware items are stacked correctly to ensure that wash water can reach all items in the DishDrawer®. Items must not block the spray arm path, otherwise it cannot go around preventing wash water reaching areas in the DishDrawer®.

  • Page 52 Cleaning the Motor Assembly This area only needs to be cleaned under certain fault conditions ie F2. If you have an integrated product the fault code will appear on the secondary control panel, refer to the section on Fault Codes, it will explain under which conditions to clean the motor assembly.
  • Page 53 Microorganisms like bacteria and viruses are ubiquitous. This is a fact of life. Some microorganisms are harmless, while others are useful and others are pathogenic/ harmful. To totally get rid of all pathogenic microorganisms one would have to sterilise in an autoclave at 30psi, @ 134 C for 3 minutes.
  • Page 54 ® ® Care needs to be taken when cleaning the inside and outside of the DishDrawer®. ROBLEMS Foaming If using cleaners on the inside of the DishDrawer®, care needs to taken to ensure there is no foaming, as this can lead to a service call. The foam will run all the way to the back of the vent hole and dribble onto the flood switch causing an F1 fault.
  • Page 55 We do not recommend antibacterial products on Stainless Steel for a number if reasons: Antibacterial products can contain chloride compounds eg quaternary ammonium chloride, which attacks the stainless steel causing it to rust. Other antibacterial products may contain triclosan, which is an antibiotic. Over use of these products can create bacteria, which are resistant to antibiotics.
  • Page 56 If the customer finds that the dishes are wet or streaky then they may want to turn up the rinse aid setting. If there is too much foam at the end of the wash program, the rinse aid setting should be turned down.
  • Page 57 Option Adjustment Mode ……. Continued ® If there are problems with condensation you may want to suggest the use of Closed Drawer Option. Also if the DishDrawer is to be installed on a boat or mobile home, this option will stop the drawer from opening unnecessarily.
  • Page 59 The faults are displayed in the LCD as one of 5 F (fatal) faults or 1 U (user) fault along with the symbol of a spanner. A fatal fault will usually require the assistance of a qualified service person, while a U1 user fault indicates the machine had failed to prime within a certain length of time usually because the tap has not been turned on.
