Danger
Observe the safety precautions when handling chemicals and the dosage recommendations
on the packaging.
Wear protective clothing, protective gloves and protective goggles when handling chemicals.

Use only products that are suitable for commercial dishwashers. Such products are appro-
priately marked. We recommend Winterhalter products. These are especially adapted to
Winterhalter dishwashers.
Do not put rinse aids in the storage container for detergents and vice versa.
5.1 Rinse aid
A rinse aid is necessary to ensure that water on the dishes drains off after washing and dries off after a short
while. Rinse aid is automatically metered from an external container.
The dosing level is set by the service engineer when commissioning the machine ( 12.6).
5.2 Detergent
Caution
Do not use acidic cleaners.
Do not mix different detergent products in order to prevent crystallisation that could destroy
the detergent dosing device ( 5.4)
Do not use products that can create foam, e.g. hand soap, soft soap, hand wash liquid. En-
sure that these do not enter the machine even during the pre-treatment of the utensils.
A detergent is necessary to ensure that the leftovers and dirt on the dishes is cleaned. Detergents can be
supplied as follows:
Manually as detergent powder.
Automatically from an external container using a detergent dosing device.
INFO The detergent dosing device is not included in the scope of delivery of all machines. When using
an external metering device, a transfer strip is available for connecting the dosing device ( 18).
5.2.1 Manual dosing of detergent powder
Pre-dosing
Switch on the machine and wait until the start button is lit green.
Adhere to the dosing instructions on the packaging of the detergent. The machine's tank capacity is ap-
prox. 35 litres.
Place approx. 100 g of detergent powder in the machine. This corresponds to a dosing of approx. 3 g/l.
Then start the wash cycle immediately to mix the detergent powder with the water.
Post-dosing
At each wash cycle approx. 2.0-2.5 litres of fresh water enter the warewasher, which must be mixed with
detergent powder.
Fill approx. 30 - 40 g detergent of powder into the machine after 5 wash cycles.
5.2.2 Automatic dosing of liquid detergent
The dosing amount is set by the service engineer when commissioning the machine ( 12.6).
