Rinse Agent; Wash Temperature; Energy Saving Tips - Viking Professional 325 Series Use & Care Manual

Rinse Agent

A rinse agent causes water to flow off the dishes more quickly,
preventing droplets that dry as spots and improving drying
performance. Rinse agent come in solid and liquid forms. Your
dishwasher's rinse agent dispenser uses the liquid form. For
best results, use a liquid rinse agent only if you have
moderately hard to hard water. Rinse agent used with soft
water can cause a cloudy film on dishes.
Filling the Rinse Agent Dispenser
Drying will usually be better if you use a rinse agent. To fill the
dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse agent into the
dispenser up to the knob for dosage setting. The dispenser will
hold approximately four ounces of liquid rinse agent.
Adjusting the Dosage of Rinse Agent
The rinse agent dosage is set by the manufacturer and is
dispensed automatically into the final rinse. If necessary, the
rinse agent dosage can be adjusted by inserting a screwdriver
inside the filler hole where the adjustment device is set on "3."
It is recommended that the dial be adjusted only one number
at a time.
NOTE: Too much rinse agent is not advisable as this might
result in the formation of foam, especially if the dishwasher is
connected to a cold water supply.

Wash Temperature

Hot water dissolves and activates dishwashing detergents,
dissolves grease on dishes, and helps glasses dry spot free. If
the incoming water is extremely cold due to unusually cold
temperatures outside, if you have recently done laundry or run
hot water for showers, or if your water travels a long distance
from the hot water heater to the dishwasher, the running time
of the dishwasher may be longer to heat the water to the
required temperature.
Checking the Wash Temperature
An incoming water temperature of 120°F (49˚C) is
recommended. However, the Sure Temp Water Heating System
will ensure the water temperatures are correct for the
cycle/options selected.

Energy Saving Tips

• Only start a wash when the machine is completely full.
• Do not prewash dishes. Simply scrape, load, and wash.
• Use the POTS/PANS program only for heavily soiled dishes.
• Connect the dishwasher to a cold water supply (cycle times
will be longer).
Power On Light
• A blue light will illuminate from the bottom right corner of
the dishwasher kickplate when a cycle is running.
