If the glassware shows smearing or

cloudy streaks after washing,

^ adjust to a lower setting.

Neutralizing agent

Adding neutralizer

^ Open the door of the storage cabinet

that houses the neutralizer and

detergent dispensers.

Neutralizer has an acidic pH, and

works by neutralizing any traces of

(alkaline) cleaner from the surface of

the glassware.

When a mild alkaline detergent is

used for washing, select a

neutralizer that contains phosphoric

acid.

The neutralizer is automatically

dispensed during the second rinse

after the main wash cycle. To function

properly, the neutralizer container must

be filled and cleared of air (primed).

For specific instructions see
