Adding and dispensing process chemicals

Neutralizing agent
Neutralizing agent (pH setting: acidic) neutralizes any residues of al-
kaline process chemicals on the surface of the load.
Neutralizing agent is dispensed automatically in the
Interim rinse
phase after the main wash (see “Program charts”). The reservoir must
be filled and the dispensing system vented for this to occur.
In the
Inorganic
program, neutralizing agent is dispensed additionally
for an acidic pre-wash.
Replenishing neu-
tralizing agent
Open the drawer in the side unit.
Remove the neutralizing agent container (red marking) and place it
on the open cabinet door or on a surface which is robust and easy
to clean.
Take the lid off the canister and remove the suction wand. Place the
suction wand on the open wash cabinet door.
Replace the empty container with a full one.
Push the suction wand into the opening of the container and secure
the lid. Observe the color coding.
Feed the suction wand into the container until it reaches the bot-
tom.
Wipe up any spilled process chemical thoroughly.
Place the container back in the drawer in the side cabinet.
Close the drawer. Ensure that the dispensing tubes and cords are
not kinked or trapped.
After that, the dispensing system must be primed (see “Settings
/
Priming DOS”).
