12.5 Descaling / basic cleaning

12.5.1 Descaling programme
If the machine is operated with hard water without water treatment, the boiler, the machine interior, all water
lines and other components may scale.
Grease residues and dirt that remain in the machine can contribute towards an unhygienic interior and can
lead to failure of heating elements. Regular removal of these coatings is absolutely essential.
Using the descaling programme you can descale the interior of the commercial dishwasher. The water lines
and the boiler can only be descaled by an authorised service technician.
For descaling, you need an acid-based descaler suitable for commercial dishwashers.
 When handling chemicals, observe the safety notes and the dosage recommendations on
the packaging.
 Wear protective clothing, protective gloves and protective goggles when handling chemicals.
Danger
Ideally, start the descaling programme when the machine is empty and switched off. If the machine is
already prepared for use, it will automatically empty first.
Only with an external detergent dispenser pump:
Development of chlorine gas
If you mix active chlorinated detergent and descaler, chlorine gas is produced. Stop the
detergent dosing (e.g. remove the suction tube or switch off the dispenser pump).
Warning
INFO An internal detergent dispenser pump in the machine will be disabled automatically in the descaling
programme.
