Suma Nova L6 Commercial Dishwasher Detergent
Suma Nova L6 helps busy catering kitchens tackle the dried-on food and grease left on crockery, cutlery and suitable kitchenware after service. This concentrated alkaline liquid is designed for automatic warewashing, with scale-control ingredients that support the wash process where hard water can otherwise reduce cleaning performance.
Its formulation suits a range of single- and multi-tank commercial dishwashers. Connecting it to a compatible automatic dispensing system supplies detergent during the wash cycle, helping staff maintain a consistent washing routine without adding a manual washing-up product to the machine.
Water hardness matters when choosing a machine detergent. Nova L6 is particularly useful in hard water conditions, but the dose still needs to suit the installation and the food residues being washed. Correct dosing works alongside sound loading practice, clean jets and the wash temperatures specified for the dishwasher.
Choose Nova L6 for the detergent stage of your commercial wash-up system, then use a separate suitable rinse aid where required. Restaurants, cafés and institutional kitchens can combine the concentrate with their existing compatible dosing equipment to support dependable cleaning throughout successive loads.

Directions for Use
Connect the detergent supply
Use the dishwasher’s integral dispensing system or compatible automatic dosing equipment. Keep the detergent pick-up tube below the liquid surface and replace an empty container promptly. Follow the equipment supplier’s changeover procedure when changing products.
Set the machine dose
The attached Nova L6 product sheet gives a dosing range of 1–3 g per litre of wash water, depending on local water conditions. Have the setting adjusted for your installation and follow the current container label. Dispense through the automatic system; do not use this strongly alkaline detergent for washing dishes by hand.
Maintain the washing routine
Remove loose food before loading. Regularly empty, clean and refill the machine, keep wash jets clear, and check the wash and rinse temperatures against the equipment instructions. Maintain the water softener where fitted and use a suitable separate rinse aid. Check that items tolerate alkaline machine detergents, and follow the container label for protective equipment and handling.
