G500 Dishwashers
6.4 Dishwashing Technology
6.4.1 General Information
As a result of recent research, some parts of the G570 series
dishwashers have been modified.
These modifications have led to improved filtering of food remains and
also better cleaning in the cutlery tray. Modified parts have been fitted as
standard since Machine no. 8701999.
These modified parts have been collected together to make a Conversion
Kit which may be fitted in case of complaint to units with Machine nos. up
to 8701998.
Machines are adjusted during production to ensure optimal washing
results, given that sufficient water pressure (at least 1 bar) exists, a
suitable program for the soiling to be cleaned is selected, and the
recommended quantity of detergent is used.
