Dishwasher query !!!!! Boring

[BanditBitch]

Right......this is boring, so look away now, if you havent got a dishwasher

I've just got my first dishwasher.....and it is taking some working out The instuctions dont make much sense.

Question 1: If you use those 3 in 1 dishwasher tablet things.....does that mean you dont need to put seperate salts, detergent and rinse agent in??

Question 2: Why when using a 3 in 1 tablet, am I find it undissolved on the floor of the dishwasher, when it started off in the dispenser......the dispenser flap is always open too at the end of a cycle.

Summats not right....can any dishwasher experts help??

1. If you use 3in1 that is all you need

2. The dispenser opens so that it can get to the plates, if it's undissolved make sure you've got it on the right setting, not just "pre-wash" It sounds like the water's not hot enough

Yes salt is always needed, other wise you will get scale in the pipes.

The tablet you put in the flap pops out to wash the plates once it has filled with water, if it is still in the bottom half dissolved try putting it in the cutlery holder, if its still not completely gone it seems a bit weird to me.

So even though I am using the 3 in 1, I still have to put the salt stuff in the bottom plug thing.

How do I know if its getting hot enough??

I found using Tesco's/ASDA's own 4 in 1 tablets were better for dissolving than the expensive ones

Buy the tablets with everything in (salt, rinse aid, etc) pop in the dispenser drawer and that's it - nothing else needed

I never read all the posts
Butt:

1st you will need to buy four sets of dishes. Ask anyone who has a dishwasher.

2nd Call the council and ask if you need to use water softeners.
Some counties have good soft water. Or ask the kids to ask the geog. teach.

3rd No home should be without a dishwasher. They are hygenic and use less water than the two or three sinks full that by hand uses.

They're not even dead posh now.

I want one of those new ones that collects, washes and puts away.

Hold the front page !!!! i have an update**** Spoke to technical department...they reckon the dispenser is releasing the tablets, at the wrong time in the cycle. Sending an engineer out today. Will tell you the final outcome later....bet you all cant wait.

1st of all you must use the salt in the dispenser As mentioned stops the heating element furring up.

If the timer/progress indicator is manual simply turn it round to see when in the cycle the flap opens
