Bio Wash Programmes and Concentrated Detergents
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be split into two basic types:
–Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
–Weak alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.
2 The use of BIO wash programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; the BIO wash programmes are specially matched to the soil dissolving properties of the enzymes in the concentrated detergent. It is for this reason that BIO wash programmes can achieve the same results at 50 °C that can otherwise only be achieved using 65 °C programmes.
During BIO programmes the water is briefly heated to more than 50 °C so that the active oxygen becomes effective.
3 Detergent tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different rates. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use normal programmes with pre wash when using detergent tablets.
Automatic Wash Programmes
During AUTOMATIC programmes, the amount of soiling on the dishes is determined by the degree of water clouding.
If the load is small and the dishes lightly soiled the “pre wash”, “main wash” and “rinsing” elements of the programme are shorter and there is lower water consumption.
When the machine is fully loaded and the dishes very soiled the „pre wash", “main wash” and “rinsing” elements of the programme take longer and the water consumption is higher.
For this reason the programme duration, water and energy consump- tion levels for AUTOMATIC programmes can vary within the given ranges (see programme table).
In this way, the dishes are always washed to an optimum, while water and electricity consumption are kept low.
