Cleaning agent
Risk of damage due to unsuitable cleaning agents.
Using unsuitable cleaning agents, such as a cleaning agent for a
domestic dishwasher, will mean that the reprocessing result is not
as expected.
Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for washer-disinfectors.
The cleaning machine is only designed for use with liquid cleaning
agents. Liquid cleaning agent is dispensed from an external container
via a suction lance.
For environmental reasons it is important to always consider the
following factors when selecting a cleaning agent:
- How alkaline does the cleaning agent need to be for the cleaning
application involved?
- Are protein-removing enzymes required and is the programme
sequence suitable for this?
- Are tensides required for proper dispersal and emulsification?
- Is a cleaning agent containing active chlorine required or can a
detergent without active chlorine be used?
Cleaning agents containing chlorine can damage the plastics
and elastomers inside the machine.
If the use of cleaning agents containing chlorine is required, a
maximum temperature of 75 °C is recommended in the “Detergent
dosage” programme blocks (see programme overview).
Cleaning agents containing chlorine must not be used in machines
supplied (ex works) with special oil-resistant elastomers for oil and
grease applications.

optimum cleaning agents and additives to use for liquid dispensing,
