3.5Dispensing Detergent

The dispenser is mounted in the front wall of the wash tub.

The detergent dispenser consists of two detergent chambers, one for pre wash and the other for the main wash.

The detergent dispenser door is opened manually for detergent loading and then manually closed ready for the detergent to be transported to the wash tub by the inlet water. To enable each detergent chamber to be dispensed separately, an inlet water diverter valve controlled by the electronics is necessary.

Additionally a positive displacement pump unit and storage tank are incorporated within the dispenser to supply rinse aid. The rinse aid dispensed volume is adjusted utilising the dishwasher electronic controller. A glowing red light on the tank filler cap indicates an empty rinse aid tank.

3.6Lid Seal

3.6.1When Activated

At the beginning of each wash cycle, the lid seal inflates while the pre wash drain cycle removes any residue water from the tub. This runs for approximately 60 seconds, then the tub fills.

3.6.2What is the Lid Seal

The lid seal is a static plastic moulding retained in the lid which provides a dynamic seal to the tub. The dynamic seal is created by a bellows section gasket bridging between the top flange of the tub and the lid. The dynamic seal also locks the tub/drawer during washing.

3.6.3During Wash

The bellows section gasket is inflated by a solenoid activated diaphragm air pump. This cycles during the complete cycle at timed intervals to maintain a 35kpa sealing pressure.
