How to use the dishwasher: first start, temperature, proper care, loading

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

The owners, who did not even bother to read the instructions for household appliances, do not be surprised that it quickly broke down. It is not enough to install the device, download it and turn it on. Long life of the device is possible with high-quality and regular care for all its elements, compliance with the loading conditions, maintaining the temperature regime, the use of high-quality detergents.

In addition, the use of the dishwasher implies compliance with the following rules:

1. The first start-up of the unit must be idle. The dishes are not loaded. You just need to install all the containers and coasters, fill in the detergents and auxiliaries, run the standard mode.
2. Do not load small items. They often fall out of the tray, falling on the rotating parts of the device and leading to its breakdown.
3. You can not use homemade compounds for daily work. They can adversely affect the cleaning quality of dishes and the condition of the apparatus. Traditional dishwashing agents here also do not fit.
4. Clean the appliance regularly. For this purpose, at home, not only specialized formulations are used, but also folk methods.
5. You can not load products from faience, steel, prone to rust, non-resistant to high temperatures of plastic, glass( without a corresponding mark).Do not load the painted and not covered with glaze objects, homemade things with decorative details.

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

Preparing the dishes for cleaning in the dishwasher

The unit starts with loading the containers with dishes and refilling the trays with detergents and auxiliaries. With profile preparations, everything is quite simple. The main thing is not to forget to check the fullness of the corresponding compartments and not to save on the compositions. Contrary to popular belief, dishwasher owners do not overpay for these components in dozens of times. They have to be purchased fairly rarely, which ultimately significantly reduces the cost of one run.

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

1. If you plan to process products with grease or carbon deposits, it is worth using the pre-soak function. If it is not available, then you will have to add special pads, eliminating carbon deposits.
2. Preliminary cleaning of objects from significant pollution has several advantages. The load on the device is reduced, so electricity is saved. Pieces of food and droplets of fat leave, which prevents the plugging of hoses.

Immediately before placing products on trays, they need to be held for a couple of seconds under a stream of very hot water. This simple manipulation will significantly prolong the life of the device.

Features of loading dishwashers

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

1. The most fat products or household items of large sizes are placed in the lower basket. If possible, they should be secured with special holders. These devices allow you to increase the capacity of the tray and reduce the risk of damage to things.
2. Racks for uniform distribution of objects are used only for small or medium load. With an abundance of things it is better to build an even area. The main thing is not to add the products to each other afterwards, the dirty water from one thing will simply flow to the other.
3. We place small objects in the top 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 from them will flow evenly. Devices for the same purpose should be placed downwards with handles.

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

Setting the optimum temperature regime

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

• Temperature within 30-40ºС.Soft, but effective effect, designed for processing glass and glassware from similar brittle materials.
• Temperature within 50 ° C.The optimum option for dishes of moderate pollution, sensitive to high temperatures. The same index is used when introducing special enzymes, which are most effective under these conditions.
• Temperature within 60-75ºС.Indicators for very greasy and dirty dishes. Most often used for processing pots and pans.

For utensils with insignificant impurities, it is best to use a mode that implies a quick washing. In just half an hour the machine will have time to rinse the products and rinse them. Economical approach is absolutely not suitable for processing objects covered with fat.

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

Do not immediately download and start the unit on a new, even on sparing modes. This can lead to overheating or excessive stress of the individual components. It is better to wait until the appliance is completely cool and dry. After that, the machine will be ready for new cycles.
