NewAir ADW-2600W Adjusting the Rinse Aid Dispenser, B. Using Detergent, Proper Use of Detergent

Adjusting the Rinse Aid Dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser has 4 settings. The recommended setting is “3”. If dishes are still not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number, “4”.

NOTE: Increase the amount of rinse aid if there are still water droplets on your dishes. Reduce the amount of rinse aid if there are white stains on your dishes or if there is a bluish film on glassware or cutlery.

Proper Use of Detergent

Detergents remove debris from your dishes and then help remove them from your dishwasher. Only use detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. Keep detergent fresh and dry, and do not put powered detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes.

Types of Detergent

There are 3 types of detergent:

•Phosphate and chlorine

•Phosphate without chlorine

•Without phosphate or chlorine

Most pulverized detergents will be phosphate-free. Since phosphate is a natural water softening agent, if you are using a phosphate-free detergent, we recommend putting salt in the container even when the water hardness is only 6°dH. If phosphate-free detergents are used in hard water, white spots will often appear on dishes and glassware. If this is the case, add more detergent to achieve better cleaning results. Detergent without chlorine may not be able to remove large/heavy stains. In this case, please choose a wash cycle with a higher temperature.

Concentrated Detergent

Based on their chemical composition, dishwashing detergents can be split into 2 basic types:

•Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components

•Low alkaline detergents with natural enzymes

The use of “normal” washing programs in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes. These wash programs are specifically designed to be used with concentrated detergent. For this reason, “normal” wash programs with concentrated detergent can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using “intensive” programs.

Detergent Tablets

Depending on the brand, detergent tablets can dissolve at different speeds. For this reason, some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programs. Please use a longer wash program/cycle when using detergent tablets to ensure complete removal of residual detergent.

Note: Detergent tablets can only be used in dishwashers with 3-in-1 functionality or 3-in-1 programs.
