Setup and Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for proper setup and operation of Ecolab Solid Power XL GlassGuard in your commercial dishwasher:
- Preparation: Ensure the dishwasher is clean and free from any obstructions in the detergent dispenser.
- Detergent Loading: Remove the required number of solid detergent capsules from the package. Handle with dry hands to prevent premature dissolution.
- Dispenser Placement: Place the capsules into the dishwasher's designated detergent dispenser.
- Secure Dispenser: Close the dispenser securely, ensuring it is properly sealed to prevent water ingress before the wash cycle.
- Loading Dishes: Load your dishes, particularly glassware, into the dishwasher racks, ensuring proper spacing for effective cleaning.
- Cycle Selection: Select the appropriate wash cycle for your load, considering the soil level and type of items being washed.
- Initiate Wash: Start the dishwasher. The Solid Power XL GlassGuard will be dispensed automatically during the wash cycle, providing a protective layer to prevent spotting and etching.
Note: GlassGuard is replenished each wash cycle and rinses away cleanly, providing optimal results while protecting against the damaging effects of etch. The high activity formula allows for more washes per capsule.
Maintenance and Storage
To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of Ecolab Solid Power XL GlassGuard, observe the following maintenance and storage guidelines:
- Storage: Store capsules in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent degradation.
- Handling: Always handle capsules with dry hands. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
- Dispenser Cleaning: Regularly inspect and clean the dishwasher's detergent dispenser to prevent residue buildup, which could affect dispensing efficiency.
- Container Disposal: Dispose of empty containers according to local regulations for industrial cleaning product waste.

- Spotting/Residue on Glassware:

- Verify that the dishwasher's rinse aid dispenser is filled and functioning correctly.
- Check water hardness levels; very hard water may require adjustments to the wash cycle or additional water treatment.
- Ensure proper loading of dishes to allow water and detergent to reach all surfaces.
- Detergent Not Dissolving:
