Advice for Housewives: Mastering the Dishwasher

Proper Use and Care Tips for Your Dishwasher

1. Clean up leftover food before washing

   Before loading your dishes into the dishwasher, it’s important to remove any leftover food by rinsing it with water or wiping it with a paper towel. This helps improve the longevity and cleaning efficiency of the machine.

   

2. Properly arrange the dishes in the dishwasher

   Ensure that your dishes are securely placed in the compartments to prevent breakage and maximize cleaning efficiency. Avoid stacking dishes or overcrowding them in one compartment, as this can clog the water sprayer.

   Place plates facing forward and alternate their direction near the outer side to allow easy cleaning.

   

3. Read the dishwasher’s instruction manual and warnings carefully

   Each dishwasher model has unique features and cleaning technologies. It’s important to read the instruction manual and warnings provided by the manufacturer to understand how to use, maintain, and clean your dishwasher.

   

4. Follow the proper washing process

   1. Load the dishes into the dishwasher immediately.
   2. Pour the appropriate amount of dishwasher detergent into the designated compartment.
   3. Close the dishwasher door tightly and turn on the power.
   4. Select the appropriate washing program and press the Start button.
   5. Check the machine’s operation for the first 30 seconds.
   6. Do not open the dishwasher door or turn off the power abruptly while the machine is running.
   7. After finishing, wait for about 10 minutes for the machine to cool down before opening the door.
