Stages of the washing process
Which saucepans should not be loaded into the bunker? First of all it concerns aluminum - they will be oxidized, appearance will worsen. Do not wash iron ware and dishes with wooden handles. All others perfectly tolerate the machine wash, especially if the label has a permit.
To understand in general what is possible, andthat you can not wash in a dishwasher, it is worth to find out what the washing process looks like from the inside:
- After start-up, cold or hot water (depending on the model) enters the tank.
- Water is heated to a maximum of 70 degrees.
- The dispenser discharges the cleaning solution into a tank with heated water.
- From the tank it is fed to the nozzles, which evenly distribute the spray on the dishes.
- The water circulates through the bunker for half an hour.
- At the end of the first washing cycle, it, with the dissolved detergent, is drained into the sewer, and the water is already supplied to the tank for rinsing.
- Modern models of PMM are equipped with sparing cycles, in which the water temperature remains low. Such modes are suitable only for dishes with slight impurities.

Special Tools
Pots, pans and other large vessels require specialized tools. The usual "chemistry" for manual washing can not be used in dishwashing: it will not work, it will be ineffective, it can damage your technique.
Going to the window with professional compositions for PMM, many users are lost, what to give preference: gel, powder and3-in-1 tablets.

Important! Do not crush or pound the tablets into powder. Inside is a rinse aid - if it dissolves during washing, the rinse will be substandard.
If you chose the option in the tablets, make sure that there is a compartment under the universal means in the machine. Read more about this on the page "Where to put a pill in the dishwasher".
