To do so, he has to make a precise diagnostic in order to adopt the appropriate for the encountered problem. The new ATLANTIS dishwasher proposes a programme of aid to diagnostic intended for the after-sales department. Only the rigorous and systematic implementation of this programme can definitely assure the action reliability.
THE ATLANTIS DISHWASHER ENERGY Technical Training Energy Dishwasher LOGO 2 - THE ENERGY LABEL Manufacturer A B C 1 2 3 Model 2.1. - What you must know More efficient Washing machine, dryer and dishwasher are three appliances likely to weigh heavy on the electricity invoice if you choose model poorly classified from the energetic point of view.
Noise remains a selection criterion essential despite the fact that indicating it on the "Energy Label" is not compulsory. For the ATLANTIS dishwasher, the level is comprised between 45 and 51 decibels (dB). It must be known that a variation by 3 decibels multiplies by two the sound volume and this is only below 50 decibels that the dishwasher can be operated late at night.
The mechanical action (aspersion) Its purpose is to project the detergent bath onto dishes to remove and drag the dirt. The ATLANTIS dishwasher is provided with 4 spraying levels: • Two that spray the lower and upper baskets •...
THE ATLANTIS DISHWASHER THE WATER Technical Training 4 - THE WATER The water covers, in the nature, a cycle due to its continuous evaporation under the action of the sun heat; this vapour is condensed into fine droplets to produce clouds, which are transformed into rain when they meet a cold air draft.
To regenerate the resins, it is necessary to eliminate the limestone from them with sodium (salt). This regeneration, automatic and "floating" on "all electronic" ATLANTIS dishwashers, is initiated by the board according to the adjustment performed on the putting into service and to the number of filling baths already performed.
THE ATLANTIS DISHWASHER THE WATER Technical Training 4.5. - The pH (hydrogen potential) Maybe, you have already remarked on labels of cleaning products or drinks the pH indication followed by a number. Maybe, you know that the pH is related to the acidity of a solution, sometimes verifiable by its taste.
THE ATLANTIS DISHWASHER THE DETERGENTS Technical Training 5 - THE DETERGENTS 5.1. - The products 5.1.1. - The detergents Contrary to many received ideas, all detergents are not identical. They contain specific ingredients. So each type of detergent has its own features and will be particularly suited to such or such type of wash or of dishes.
THE ATLANTIS DISWASHER 6.1. - Presentation The ATLANTIS frame proposes a large choice of models: free-standing with rounded design or flat design with frame decor, or built-in and also many options (alternate spraying, saucepan nozzle, insulation, fan, condenser, turbidimeter, mezzanines …).

THE ATLANTIS DISHWASHER FITTING Technical Training 6.3. - Fitting 6.3.1. - Levelling by adjusting the feet The dishwasher must be well balanced ad stable. The four feet can be adjusted, so adjust them if the necessary using a screwdriver. If the feet are poorly adjusted, this decentres the door and makes the dishwasher wobble, causing leaks.
THE ATLANTIS DISHWASHER FITTING Technical Training 6.4. - Adjusting the water softener Measuring the water hardness After checking the hardness of the water from the tap, either with the help of the small strip provided with the appliance, or with the AQUA-TEST, adjust the softener on the position which corresponds to the degree of hardness you have measured.
THE ATLANTIS DISHWASHER FITTING Technical Training Filling the regenerating salt reservoir In order for the softener to work correctly, when the machine is first put to use the salt container should be filled with water (after the regenerative salt has been poured in). Be sure to screw the salt container's lid down securely.
THE ATLANTIS DISHWASHER FUNCTION Technical Training 6.6. - Use of the sensors in new wash recipes classified A A A The intelligent use of some sensors enables the electronics to adapt the run of its auto-programs, in order to guarantee the result while trying to save water, energy and time, and this, whatever the load or dirt rate is.
THE ATLANTIS DISHWASHER FUNCTION Technical Training 6.7. - Other possibilities offered by the electronics Display of savings achieved on completion of a cycle This display of achieved energy and time savings depends on what the sensors have detected. It only takes place on completion of models with automatic programs.

THE ATLANTIS DISHWASHER FUNCTION Technical Training • 6.14. - The "floating" regeneration The regeneration controlled by the electronics is not necessarily performed during each cycle. It is said "floating", as it can be integrated in masked time into the program (the total cycle duration is the same with or without regeneration).
FUNCTION Technical Training 6.15. - The drying The ATLANTIS dishwasher presents three levels of drying, depending on the model : • Level 1 "C" (natural drying) During the rinse process, the temperature of the dishes is taken up to 73°C. At the end of the programme, a drying phase of about 15 minutes enables the dishes, well drained through the action of the rinsing agent, to evaporate the residual film of humidity by restoring part of the heat accumulated.
