How to use the dishwasher correctly

1. Before washing dishes in the dishwasher, please remove any larger pieces of food residue left in the dishes, such as fish bones or ribs. After rinsing, some small food residues will remain in the filter or residue collection basket. They need to be cleaned to avoid affecting the normal operation of the machine next time.

2. Regardless of the type of tableware, it is strictly forbidden to place it with the opening facing upwards. It must be placed downwards or vertically to ensure that the oil and dirt flow down smoothly, otherwise it will directly affect the water flow or interfere with the normal rotation of the spray and affect the cleanliness. Usually, the spray arm is in the center, so the opening angle of the bowl should be as close to the center of the bowl as possible. In addition, for relatively small cups, spoons and other utensils, please avoid falling and collision to avoid breaking. It is recommended to use a more compact small basket to fix these small appliances when necessary, which will be safer.

3. Special detergents must be added to the dishwasher. It is strictly forbidden to use detergents for ordinary hand washing. Dishwashing powder is specially developed according to the structure and working principle of the dishwasher. It not only has less foam and good cleaning performance, but also can effectively remove grease stains on the surface of tableware.

Why does the dishwasher always trip?

1. If the circuit breaker trips when plugged in, check the filter capacitor first. There is a capacitor the size of a thumb at the power input line. You can tell from the surface whether it has been broken down. This component is of no use to the machine itself. It is mainly used to prevent the electromagnetic waves generated by the machine from interfering with other electrical appliances in the power grid. You can directly remove it.

2. Check the heating tube if it trips after working for a while. Aging of the heating tube or long-term non-use may cause the resistance of the insulating filler to decrease. You can measure the leakage current to judge, or unplug the power supply of the heating tube for testing.

3. If the machine trips repeatedly and is in the draining state for a long time, check for water leaks. In order to prevent water leaks, a tray is designed at the bottom of the machine. When there is water in the tray, the circulating pump will trip due to water soaking. After the water float switch is activated, the machine will immediately drain water continuously and stop working.

How often should you clean your dishwasher?

1. It is recommended to clean the dishwasher once every half a month. When cleaning, you must thoroughly clean the internal tank. You can remove the bowl tank, spray arm, etc., rinse with water, wipe dry and reset it.

2. It is also important to note that you can add an appropriate amount of neutral detergent when cleaning. After the cleaning is completed, perform a second cleaning and finally rinse it thoroughly with clean water.

3. Be gentle when cleaning and avoid scratching the tank with a steel brush or a rough brush. After cleaning, wipe the tank clean with a dry sponge or rag.

In addition, when cleaning the slag basket, it is recommended to perform deep deodorization and sterilization cleaning once a week for better results.
