Deposits must be removed regularly because only a limescale-free dishwasher will ensure clean dishes. Descaling also extends the service life of a dishwasher. Descaling requires an acidic detergent such as Kiilto Pro Kalk which has been developed for professional kitchens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steps to descaling a dishwasher:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list has-blue-color has-light-grey-2-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><li>Empty the dishwasher. Put the overflow tubes, used as drain valves, in place.<\/li><li>Pour some undiluted Kiilto Pro Kalk cleaner carefully on the areas with limescale. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.<\/li><li>Brush the worst deposit areas with a rough brush or scourer. (Do not use steel wool.)<\/li><li>Fill the dishwasher with water. Add 5 litres of Kiilto Pro Kalk per 100 litres of water (5 L \/ 100 L). Remember to prevent the dispensing of dishwasher detergent if possible.<\/li><li>Let the dishwasher run for 5-10 minutes. The acidic solution will also clean the interior of tubes and nozzles.<\/li><li>Empty the tanks. If necessary, you can brush the dishwasher surfaces. Rinse the inside of the dishwasher carefully by spraying lukewarm water from a hose. Pay particular attention to the loading, drying and unloading areas of conveyor dishwashers.<\/li><li>Fill the dishwasher in the normal way and let the machine run for 5-10 minutes to boost the cleaning process and to neutralise possible acid residue. You can then start washing the dishes or empty the tanks and switch off the machine.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also offer a descaling service for professional dishwashers.
