Dispensing Detergent
The dispenser is mounted in the front wall of the wash tub.
The detergent dispenser consists of two detergent chambers, one for pre wash and the
other for the main wash.
The detergent dispenser door is opened manually for detergent loading and then manually
closed ready for the detergent to be transported to the wash tub by the inlet water. To
enable each detergent chamber to be dispensed separately, an inlet water diverter valve
controlled by the electronics is necessary.
Additionally a positive displacement pump unit and storage tank are incorporated within
the dispenser to supply rinse aid. The rinse aid dispensed volume is adjusted utilising the
dishwasher electronic controller. A glowing red light on the tank filler cap indicates an
empty rinse aid tank.

Lid Seal
3.6.1
When Activated
At the beginning of each wash cycle, the lid seal inflates while the pre drain cycle removes
any residue water from the tub. This runs for approximately 60 seconds, then the tub fills.
3.6.2
What is the Lid Seal
The lid seal is a static plastic moulding retained in the lid, which provides a dynamic seal
to the tub. The dynamic seal is created by a bellows section gasket bridging between the
top flange of the tub and the lid. The dynamic seal also locks the tub/drawer during
washing.
3.6.3
During Wash
The bellows section gasket is inflates by a solenoid activated diaphragm air pump. This
cycles during the complete cycle at timed intervals to maintain a 3 psi sealing pressure.
