Can I use hand dishwashing liquid in a commercial dishwasher?

Use only detergent approved for commercial machine dishwashing. Hand dishwashing liquid can create excessive foam and interfere with the wash process. Confirm the correct chemical and dose for the machine and water quality.

What is rinse aid used for?

Rinse aid helps water drain from the surface of washed ware and supports drying with fewer visible water marks. Dosing must be suitable for the water, ware and machine. It does not replace detergent or water treatment.

Does IFB offer commercial dishwashing chemicals?

The supplied catalogue shows IFB Essentials Dishquick rinse additive and Dishcare liquid dishwashing cleaner. Confirm the appropriate product, pack and dosing recommendation for your commercial machine before use.

Do I need a water softener for a commercial dishwasher?

The catalogue lists water softeners as optional accessories. Whether one is needed depends on site water hardness, machine requirements and usage. Test the incoming water and have the treatment system sized for the required flow and workload.

Is rinse aid a substitute for a water softener?

No. Rinse aid helps water run off ware, while a softener addresses hardness in the incoming water. Use the treatment and chemical combination recommended for your site conditions.

How often should the dishwasher tank water be changed?

Follow the machine manual and the site’s operating procedure. The required frequency depends on soil load and utilisation; heavily contaminated water should not be used for further loads. Tank-water renewal features do not replace routine cleaning.

Why are dishes still dirty after washing?

Check scraping, rack loading, the selected programme, chemical supply and accessible filters or spray arms as instructed in the manual. Low water temperature or supply problems can also affect results. Arrange service if routine operator checks do not resolve the issue.

Why are washed items still wet?

Possible causes include unsuitable rinse-aid dosing, low rinse temperature, overcrowding or water trapped in item recesses. Some materials dry more slowly. Check the approved settings and loading method, and confirm whether your machine includes a drying module.

What should I do if there is excessive foam in the dishwasher?

Stop and follow the manual’s corrective procedure. Check whether hand dishwashing liquid or an unsuitable chemical entered the tank, and have dosing checked. Do not add an unapproved defoamer or continue running with excessive foam.

How should dishwasher filters and spray arms be cleaned?

Follow the model’s shutdown and cooling procedure before removing user-serviceable parts. Clear debris and rinse components as directed, then refit them correctly. Do not use methods that damage spray openings or operate the machine with required filters missing.

Can I use domestic dishwasher tablets or salt in every commercial model?

No. Chemical format and water-treatment arrangements are model-specific. Use only the products and dosing method prescribed for the commercial machine and its softener; do not apply domestic dishwasher instructions automatically.

How should scale build-up in a commercial dishwasher be managed?

Have the incoming water quality and treatment system checked, and follow the machine’s approved descaling procedure. Use only compatible descaling products at the specified dose and interval. Descaling does not replace properly maintained water treatment.

Which items should not be put in a commercial dishwasher?

Do not wash items that their manufacturer identifies as unsuitable for machine dishwashing, or items that exceed the permitted dimensions or loading limits. Check sensitive coatings, decorative finishes, plastics and bonded parts before use. Remove labels and loose packaging that could obstruct the machine.
