of salt and how much is left in.
WARNING!
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD
DO NOT fill the reservoir with water.
The reservoir could overflow when filled with salt
5. Add salt only until the funnel of the salt reservoir is full,
so that it can close properly. Do not add more than 2 kg
of salt.
6. As the salt reservoir is being filled, displaced water (saline
solution) may run out.

7. Clean any excess salt from the area around the salt
reservoir and especially from the seal using Eschmann
recommended wipes. Do not use running water as this
can cause the salt reservoir to overflow.
8. Close the funnel and the flap.
9. Run the Rinsing programme after refilling salt. This will
ensure that any traces of salt and saline solution are
dissolved and rinsed away.
POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Salt and saline solution which has overflowed can
cause corrosion damage if not rinsed away.

3.3. Adding & Dispensing Chemicals
The machine can be used again a few seconds after the salt has
been refilled.
Dosing of Chemicals
This machine uses two types of chemical, a cleaning agent
that is used to clean the instruments, and a rinse aid used in
the final rinse (disinfection stage) to prevent water residues
clinging to the instruments and allow better drying.
The chemicals used form part of a UK validated system of
cleaning instruments. Using other types or different volumes
may prevent cleaning or cause issues with your instruments
or the machine itself (Only use validated chemicals). Refer to
Appendix 4 for chemicals.
Dosage volumes are pre-set by an Eschmann engineer as
part of the cycle validation and ongoing testing. This machine
will always use liquid chemicals for cleaning, as this protects
delicate devices during processing (Powder chemicals are
not suitable and should not be used).
. POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Use only chemicals that are suitable for washer
disinfectors. Do not use chemicals for domestic
dishwashers as they will not clean effectively.
