Basic rules for using a dishwasher

The bosch dishwashers became a real treasure when they began to appear in homes in 1950, because they gave the hostesses a quick way to solve the problem of washing a large batch of dirty dishes with virtually one stroke. However, so long ago this miracle of household appliances appeared in the west, it conquered our open spaces relatively recently. Therefore, the happy owners, recently acquired such a technique, are still in doubt about how to use the Bosch dishwasher so that it will last as long as possible.

Of course, the first thing to do is to open the user manual in order to find out how to use it. However, most of our regular readers complain that they are written in a strange, obscure language, so there’s not much of them as they might seem at first glance when you look at a thick Talmud.

Let's work together on how to properly use the Ariston dishwasher so that it will serve its owners faithfully for a long time.

Basic rules of using

The first test switch-on before using the appliance, you must idle, that is, without plates. This is necessary so that during the washing cycle all technical substances, lubricants, are washed out of the tank and mechanisms that come into direct contact with the dishes.

Before the first launch, you also need to pour a special salt in the appropriate compartment. It will serve as a water softener, the ariston device will use it as needed.

Only after that you can start loading the machine for washing and use it for its intended purpose.

Remember the main rule - always start filling the bottom. Load the lower basket, making sure to place the higher objects closer to the sides, as well as the back of the machine, so that they do not block the flow of hot water for other items in the ariston dishwasher, such as small saucers or cups, located closer to the center.

Go to the top shelf. In addition, make sure that you put the cups with glasses in the upper part, and not below. The basket on top is made to fit the glass container to be used. Plastic food storage containers should be located away from the heating element in the electrolux dishwasher so that they can be used later, so it’s best to put them on the top shelf, if possible, or far from the center if they are at the bottom.

Check the location of the dishes. Ideally, your lower basket will have pots or pans( which are safe for the dishwasher), tall baking trays. But do not overload the sink, so that there is a place for the passage of water.

Do you need to soak the dishes in advance?

Regardless of whether you are pre-soaking, you need to clean the dishes from large leftover food before dipping into a hansa dishwasher. If you let the food dry or burn it, you should probably pre-soak the utensils for better washing. This rule is relevant for owners of old models.

If you have a modern electrolux dishwasher, then it is powerful enough to handle even heavily burnt pans, pans, so pre-soaking is not needed.

Is it important that

is fully loaded? Many people think that it is possible to start the bosch dishwasher only when it is full. There may be options.

First of all, your dishwasher, like many other appliances in your home, is most effective when it is full. Make sure that when you run the dishwasher, you have enough dishes inside to make an effective amount of energy and water use that it will consume to clean the dishes.

What can not be washed in the dishwasher

Automatic washing in a bosch dishwasher can end in tears for a number of items. Among them, first of all, it is worth noting wooden products, for example, spoons, bowls, shovels, and more. Also included are wooden boards for slicing food.

The category of items that are not desirable to wash in the dishwasher, also includes various tin bowls, mugs, steel dishes, aluminum pots, pans, especially if the aluminum with steel is polished.

In addition to the above, you should carefully send porcelain, earthenware, valuable crystal to the dishwasher. If for some reason you still need to use this very method of washing, then you should choose a delicate mode, using the softest detergent, so as not to damage valuable items.

Special attention also requires dishes with a bright colorful pattern that you send to the dishwasher. Under the influence of high temperature, such objects may lose their brightness, becoming faded.
