Universal recommendations and nuances for using a dishwasher

Only if you know how to use the dishwasher, you can count on the fact that this unit will significantly simplify life. Neglect of the basic operating conditions of the device will lead to the fact that even after its use on the dishes will remain greasy stains and traces of food.

Owners who did not even bother to read the instructions for household appliances should not be surprised that it quickly broke down. It is not enough to install the device, load it and turn it on. A long lifespan of the apparatus is possible with high-quality and regular care of all its elements, compliance with loading conditions, maintaining the temperature regime, and the use of high-quality detergents.

In addition, the use of a dishwasher implies the following rules:

1. The first start-up of the unit must be idle. Dishes do not load at the same time. You just need to install all the containers and stands, fill up detergents and auxiliary products, start the standard mode.
2. Do not load small items. They often fall out of the tray, falling onto the rotating parts of the device and causing it to break.
3. You can not use homemade compounds for everyday work. They can adversely affect the quality of cleaning dishes and the condition of the apparatus. Traditional dishwashing detergents are also not suitable here.
4. Clean the appliance regularly. For this purpose, at home, not only specialized formulations are used, but also folk methods.
5. Do not load products made of earthenware, steel, prone to rust, not resistant to high temperatures of plastic, glass (without an appropriate mark). Do not load painted and non-glaze items, home-made items with decorative details.

Compliance with these conditions and quality care are just the basic rules for working with a dishwasher. After the first launch has successfully completed, you can start using the device for its intended purpose.

Preparing dishes for cleaning in a dishwasher

The operation of the unit begins with loading containers with dishes and refilling the trays with detergents and auxiliary means. With specialized drugs, everything is quite simple. The main thing is not to forget to check the fullness of the respective compartments and not to save on trains. Contrary to popular belief, dishwasher owners do not overpay ten times for these components. They have to be bought quite rarely, which ultimately significantly reduces the cost of one run.

When preparing dishes, you need to consider the following points:

1. If you plan to process products with a greasy coating or carbon deposits, you should use the pre-soak function. If it is absent, then you will have to add special pads that eliminate carbon deposits.
2. Conducting a preliminary cleaning of objects from significant pollution has several advantages at once. The load on the device is reduced, therefore, energy is saved. Food pieces and drops of fat go away, which prevents clogging of the discharge hoses.

Immediately before placing the products on the trays, you need to hold them for a couple of seconds under a stream of very hot water. This simple manipulation will significantly extend the life of the device.

Features loading dishwashers

Each device is accompanied by an instruction, according to which the trays should be loaded.If the recommendations are lost, then you need to be guided by the following wishes:

1. The fattest products or household items of large sizes are placed in the lower basket. If possible, they should be fixed with special holders. These devices can increase the capacity of the tray and reduce the risk of damage to things.
2. Racks for even distribution of objects are used only for small or medium load. With an abundance of things, it is better to build a flat area. The main thing is not to put the products on top of each other afterwards, dirty water from some things will simply drain to others.
3. We place small objects in the upper part of the basket, debug its height, if there is such a function.

Tip: Glasses, cups, deep bowls should be placed upside down, then the water will drain evenly from them. Devices for the same purpose must be placed down handles.

In some modern models of household appliances there is the possibility of installing additional trays of special materials. They are designed for accurate and safe cleaning of silver, cupronickel, and other friction sensitive metals.

Setting the optimum temperature

Modern dishwashers are equipped with touch sensors and are able to independently adjust the temperature and power of the water supply in accordance with the selected mode. But in some cases, this manipulation is best done manually.

• Temperature within 30-40ºС. A soft but effective impact designed to process glass and glassware from similar brittle materials.
• Temperature within 50ºС. The best option for dishes of moderate pollution, sensitive to elevated temperatures. The same indicator is used when introducing special enzymes that are most effective precisely under such conditions.
• Temperature within 60-75ºС. Indicators for very greasy and dirty dishes. Most often used for processing pots and pans.

For dishes with minor impurities, it is most rational to use a mode that involves a quick wash. In just half an hour, the machine will have time to wash the products and rinse them. The economical approach is absolutely not suitable for processing items coated with fat.

After washing, regardless of the mode and temperature used, do not rush to remove clean dishes. You need to wait at least 20 minutes after the end of the cycle and only then can you open the camera. Otherwise, there is a high risk of skin contact and burns. First, it is customary to extract the contents of the lower compartments, then the upper ones. If you break this sequence, then drops of water will fall on clean products.

Do not immediately download and run the unit in a new way, even in gentle modes. This can lead to overheating or excessive voltage of individual elements. It is better to wait until the appliance has completely cooled and dried. After that, the machine will be ready for new cycles.
