Dishwasher

Currently, there are many modern technologies that facilitate the work of women at home. Dishwasher is very popular not only in cafes and restaurants, but also at home. History says that the first prototype of such a machine was created more than 100 years ago. Of course, the first inventor of the unit was a woman.

For a long time, the dishwasher was indispensable only in hotels and restaurant complexes. Today it is an indispensable technical tool that does the dishes well and saves time. This miracle of progress is surrounded by a fairly large number of different myths. Consider some of them.

• Many people believe that washing dishes by hand is much faster and more efficient. However, experts say that the dishwasher washes out dirt and grease better. It cleans all faces well and spends less time washing.
• There is an opinion that very rich people have the opportunity to purchase such a device home. If you compare the prices, it will become obvious and this is a delusion. The classic version of the sink for an average family will be much cheaper than a mid-range refrigerator.
• Due to the use of a dishwasher, water and electricity consumption increases significantly. When the hostess launches a dishwasher to wash a couple of cups and plates, the difference in the increase in utilities will certainly be obvious. It is important to rationally use all household appliances.
• There is a strong opinion that the dishwasher is very noisy. The latest models for the kitchen do not make as much noise as their industrial counterparts. Therefore, many people turn it on at night and go to bed in peace.
• A number of people think that a standard dishwashing liquid will be quite suitable. For the dishwasher you need a special tool. It softens the water and protects the parts of the machine from lime. Thanks to such washing gels, the machine will regularly serve more than one year.

There are much more myths and there are quite nontrivial variants.Having considered the most popular, we examine the true facts about the miracle - aggregate.

• Dishwasher can wash absolutely any dishes and in large quantities.
• If you regularly use it, you can significantly save time on washing dishes.
• Before running the automatic car wash, remove leftovers from the dishes. Otherwise, large particles of tomato, carrot or greens will quickly clog the filter. This in turn can cause the formation of an unpleasant odor. To avoid such situations, it is important to clean the grate after each start of washing or to remove food residues well.
• Experts say that some dirt can only be removed by hand using a metal sponge and a good detergent.
• Persistent soiling must be removed before loading the dishes into the machine.

Despite belief in myths, many thank the person who invented such a good invention. In a period of catastrophic shortage of time and a frantic rhythm of life, such household helpers greatly facilitate the household duties of every woman.

Nowadays, a dishwasher is not a luxury, but rather a necessity for many families. The choice of such an item should be approached with great care.Major manufacturers of home appliances offer not so many options to choose from.

• Full-size cars have impressive dimensions and have a significant set of additional functions. These models have high performance and popularity among consumers.

• Narrow dishwashers on the quality of washing dishes are not inferior to the first option. However, they are much cheaper than the first option. It is perfect for a small family of 2 or 3 people. Recently, such models are becoming serious competitors for bulky options.

• Compact dishwashers will fit perfectly on a table or in a built-in wall closet. The rather low cost justifies the low quality of the wash.

• The retractable dishwasher looks like a standard kitchen drawer. It is quite easy and convenient to fold the dishes. It is a very off-budget copy. In such a dishwasher it is very convenient to wash dishes of various materials. In such a situation, it is possible to load glass and porcelain into separate boxes and build the necessary modes.

There is another gradation of dishwashers.

• Built-in dishwashers are ideal for modern kitchens. Designers prefer these models, as they are functional and not out of the general concept of the project. Often this is the most expensive class of dishwashers.

• Often a freestanding model can also be found in a store. They are relevant in situations where the repair in the kitchen is fully completed and there is no possibility to install the dishwasher in the kitchen. This option will fit perfectly into any part of the kitchen. The advantage of this model is that in the event of a breakdown, the master will be able to freely inspect and repair it.

An excellent way out with a lack of space, will be a machine with a vertical load. Or desktop model, which can be easily placed on the working surface. For giving such an option would be ideal.

If we consider the types of structures, we distinguish their dome-type, frontal and tunnel types. For industrial use, they are dishwashers, bar (mainly for large volumes of glasses and cups), glasses and boilers (intended for overall dishes). For cafes and office canteens, you should pay attention to the design of the frontal type.They will not take up much space and will do well with the task.

For large amounts of work it is worth choosing other models from the more expensive segment. Dome dishwashers at times stronger and more powerful. Of course, they will require significant space for placement, but the power and volume of work will impress the most stringent owners. Tunneling machine will be an excellent option for fast food chains. They have great performance. Dome or bell-type device is much more universal. In such dishwashers you can easily wash both plates and pots. On the one hand, they put a table for dirty dishes with a bath and a special shower to remove the remaining food. On the contrary, install a container for clean dishes.

For many couples, installing a dishwasher is quite problematic, given the small size of most apartments. The best option is the one when the purchase is planned at the stage of repair work. In this situation, you can select the desired model and plan a place to install it. The built-in design will perfectly fit into any interior and will not stand out against the general background.

When planning the purchase of a stand-alone machine, it is important to choose the design you like. In the kitchen in bright colors will look awkward machine dark color. The location and placement of the dishwasher greatly depends on the size of the kitchen. Many experts recommend choosing corner models with built-in dishwasher.

Manufacturers offer several options for facades.

• In the case when the dishwasher is mounted under the countertop, the design of the structure does not matter. It is a rational decision to hide it in the kitchen.

• If the facade is not completely hidden, then the control apparatus is beautifully decorated.

• In the situation of a fully open facade, the appearance of the product plays a huge role. These types of models are much more expensive.

Choose a location for the location of the dishwasher to take into account several parameters. It is important to consider good access to the entire communications system. After all, for the full functioning of the need for water, electricity and drain into the sewer. Often the dishwasher is placed under the sink or under the hob. Most experts do not recommend to put next to the oven or oven.

Small-sized models can be put on a washing machine in a situation of acute shortage of space. But it is better not to put a compact dishwasher on the worktop next to the stove. It is important to discuss with the furniture manufacturer the possibility of installing a dishwasher under the hob, under the sink and near the refrigerator.

If you put a dishwasher under the hob, you will need additional protection. Again, the ideal option is to have a prepared place for the dishwasher in the furniture, when the profile of the headset will hide all the flaws in the design.

Some designers in the case of buying equipment in an already renovated room, offer to decorate the door of the machine. Such techniques are often used to create a more harmonious design in the room. Many modern-style profiles do not include pens. In such a situation, companies are installing Gola profiles. According to the type of installation, they can be horizontal and vertical. When placing appliances in the kitchen, it is important to pay attention to the guides for the doors. Given all these aspects and square meters of the room, you can proceed to the installation of the device.

A closer look reveals how strikingly the models differ from each other. Most often, detached copies have dimensions of 60x60. A width of 40 cm is more typical of narrow models. Narrow models are most often designed for 9 sets of dishes on average. Free-standing dishwashers not only can reach a height of 84 or 88 centimeters, they can also have adjustable legs. At the expense of them you can customize equipment to the size of kitchen furniture, to create a more harmonious appearance.

Often a depth of 40 cm is found in narrow models of dishwashers. Shallow machine is very popular in recent times. Although the model and shallow, but it is quite easy to build under the countertop. She suggest washing 10-11 sets of dishes. The width of the dishwasher is often different from that specified in the store. On the trading floor, you can often find price tags with a rounded figure. In such a situation it is worthwhile to study the instructions and the installation scheme indicated in it.

Embedded designs of dishwashers are presented by manufacturers in both compact and full-size version.Due to the adjustable legs, the height of such a dishwasher can vary in the range of 6 centimeters. Embedded models are equipped with a front panel, which serves as protection against steam.

Often the size of the dishwasher and determines its design. Compact versions come with one pull-out basket, and floor-mounted with two. Most often, the lower tier is designed for very dirty dishes. In the characteristics of the dishwasher can often be found the value of 6, 8 or 11 sets. Decoding these values ​​is pretty simple. 1 set includes 11 items that include mugs, spoons and other cutlery. From this it follows that even a compact model contains about 66 items.

But not everything is so simple. Indicators sets do not take into account the dimensions of the dishes. If you take 2 large pots of 5 liters, they will occupy most of the basket. Deep plates can not be put tightly to each other, otherwise they will wash out poorly. And if you leave enough space between them, it will also help reduce the usable space.

With all its advantages, small-sized options have significant drawbacks.In a miniature dishwasher, standing on the table, it is unlikely it will be possible to put a very large pot or pan. Nevertheless, in some models it is possible to rearrange the basket or to remove it altogether, which will allow to fit a large saucepan or even a bucket inside. Large dishwashers designed for home use, can hold 14 sets of dishes. Of course, the maximum load will have industrial models.

The class of power consumption and washing are one of the main technical characteristics for such a miracle of technology. Many models belong to class A, which is characterized by higher rates. The washing cycle consumes about 15 to 20 liters of water. Such a volume of water can wash 12-13 sets of dishes. For manual washing will require 2 or 3 times more water. The higher the class of the dishwasher, the less power consumption.

A large percentage of consumers think about such a criterion as leakage protection. Many experts recommend choosing this option. In the event of a breakdown, the neighbors will be saved from flooding, and the owner from wasting nerve forces in a conversation with neighbors. But electricity consumption will be significant and will affect utility bills.Depending on the load and mode, this technique consumes 1-2 kW.

Enough big expenses go on a heating element and for the pump with a pomp too. Manufacturers claim that models with convection drying do not have a second heating element. From this it follows that this model consumes 2 times less energy. More power in a dishwasher is a disadvantage rather than a plus. The power in KW of each machine is different, everything will depend on the model. If it is possible to enable the half load function, you should definitely use it.

A significant advantage is the drying in the dishwasher. The quality of such drying directly depends on the capabilities of the dishwasher itself. The best option is drying class A. After drying class B, small drops may remain on the dishes.

Consider the types of drying dishes.

• Condensation drying is the easiest option. Of course, this is the easiest way, but also longer. But if consumers do not play the role of time spent, then for them it is a great option. In addition, a machine with this type of drying is quite inexpensive.Of the minuses we can distinguish some divorces that remain after washing and drying.

• Turbosushka dries dishes much faster. This option is perfect if the family wants to see ready-to-use dishes as quickly as possible. Until recently, this feature was available in very expensive models. Today, this type of drying is found in quite budget options. The essence of this method consists in blowing with a fan and a heating element. Pretty effective way that leaves no marks on the dishes. Of the minuses, experts note a high consumption of electricity.

• The third option is intensive drying with a heat exchanger. This is an intermediate method between the previous ones. It also circulates air, but there is no fan. The quality of drying does not always depend on the type of machine, rather class belonging affects it.

A dishwasher can wash almost any type of dish. The latest models of sinks are marked with recommendations for choosing a mode. You can wash the porcelain in a typewriter, but over time the pattern will become faded.But if the icing is applied to the drawing, then you should not be afraid for the safety of the cups. The ideal option for automatic washing is glassware. It is important to install it correctly so that it does not break during the washing process.

It is better to wash glasses and wine-glasses in the mode for ware from thin glass. In the sink you can load and dishes from heat-resistant plastic, it is not deformed under the influence of high temperatures. Carefully worth choosing and modes for cutlery.

The latest models of washing machines have a wide range of different programs. Consider in more detail the most popular options.

• Pre-washing or soaking is necessary for severely soiled dishes. It can also be dried food residues. The similar program will moisten food, but will not begin to use special detergents. Due to the choice of this program, the cleaning gel for dishes is significantly saved. It is also chosen for wetting already clean dishes before use.
• Intensive washing has high quality and temperatures. The standard figure varies between 60-70 C. It is impossible to wash the dishes with such thoroughness by hand.
• Normal washing is suitable for washing pots, pans and standard tableware. Temperature ranges at 65C.
• Eco mode speaks for itself. It can be used with and without prewash.
• The BIO program is present in a number of models. The essence consists in the use of special biological additives, which are part of modern detergents.
• Delicate program perfectly cope with porcelain and glass. The temperature of this program does not exceed 45C. But it does not help to cope with heavy pollution and does not support the prewash function.
• The program of quick washing is present in some models. This wash takes 2 times less time. Its distinctive feature is the lack of pre-washing and drying.
• The automatic washing program is also gaining popularity. The machine itself determines the amount of dishes and the degree of contamination and on the basis of these indicators selects the right amount of water and temperature.

Every year, manufacturers produce more advanced models of washing machines on the market.One of the useful functions of recent times can be identified "beam on the floor." This function is a red light point. This indicator is installed on embedded machines. The main task of the beam is to mark the completion of the washing and drying process.

Hot air drying is also very popular. It literally means drying with hot air. It becomes convenient and half load when there is no need to save mountains of dishes in a small family. Many modern models have an inverter motor, which significantly reduces the amount of electricity consumed.

For the successful operation of any equipment and technology, it is important to correctly determine the location and correctly connect. Most often, dishwasher placed next to the kitchen sink. It is important that there is a socket in the immediate vicinity. If not, then you need to install. It is important to determine the place of connection to cold and hot water. Water is connected with a special high pressure hose. We must not forget about the drain, which is connected to the internal sewage system.

Before you put the dishes in the dishwasher, you need to remove all leftover food. Many models are on the market with three baskets for dishes. In order to get more clean dishes in one cycle, you need to follow a few rules and load the machine correctly.

• Start the download from the bottom of the basket. Pots and frying pans with long handles should not be placed vertically.
• Small items are loaded into the upper basket.
• Water is fed from the bottom up. Hollow plates are preferably set upside down.
• It is necessary to arrange the dishes and do not insert into each other.
• Small dishes should be placed closer to the center.
• Devices must also be in the center. They are loaded with cutlery tray.
• Cups and glasses load upside down.
• It is impossible that the dishes exceed the limits stated by the manufacturer.

Such simple rules, how to properly lay the dishes, will help save time and energy.

There are several well-known brands that have managed to win the love of consumers around the world.

• A large model range is represented by premium class companies. These models include Bosch and De Dietrich. In addition to the most modern design and powerful functional features, the dishwashers of these companies always collect enthusiastic consumer reviews.

All possible errors in the operation of technology, manufacturers are numbered with special symbols. Before you begin, you must read the terms of use. A malfunction may be caused by a mechanical failure or a malfunction in the control system.

If the washing process does not start, it may indicate a clogged filter. To fix it, it is enough to wash the part under running water. Another problem is when water remains after washing dishes. Most likely, this means a breakdown of the pump. The reason for this situation may be contaminated pump. If the sink has ceased to dry the dishes, then you should pay attention to the fan. In a situation where the valve of saline supply ceased to work, it is worth contacting a specialized home appliance repair company. If the permissible supply voltage limits are out of the norm, the dishwasher is subject to intense wear. For proper and long work, you must buy a voltage regulator.

Inside the dishwasher there are many mechanisms that need to be monitored and subjected to routine inspections. It is important to take care of any items and then they will last a long time.
