4.7.1
Detergent
Detergents are alkaline (pH value should be >7) and are needed to dissolve
soiling from the washware. If necessary, the concentration can be adjusted
depending on the water quality, washware and degree of soiling. This setting is
made during commissioning by an authorized MEIKO service technician or the
chemicals supplier. The typical concentration is 0.256 oz/gallon (2 ml/l).
4.7.2
Rinse aid
Rinse aids are acidic (pH value should be between 2 and 7) and accelerate
drying of the washware by reducing the surface tension of the water so that it
can run off the washware quickly.
Dosing depends on the local water quality and is correct when the water drips
evenly from the washware. This setting is made during commissioning by an
authorized MEIKO service technician or the chemicals supplier. The typical
concentration is 0.0256 oz/gallon (0.2 ml/l).
