Dishwashers have become a widely used household appliance in Vietnamese homes, facilitating quick domestic chores. However, not everyone has experience with this device. The following article shares tips for first-time dishwasher users.
3. Prepare Specialized Cleaning Agents
Manufacturers recommend selecting specialized cleaning agents for the dishwasher. This is because these chemicals can reduce the machine's lifespan. Using regular dishwashing detergent meant for manual washing, poured into the dishwasher, may leave residues, decreasing the dishwasher's longevity.
Furthermore, using dishwasher-specific rinse aid and detergent enhances the appliance's efficiency, ensuring clean, shiny dishes without water streaks.
For certain cleaning agents like salt, water softener, dishwasher tablets, or powder, they contribute to the dishwasher's durability and cleanliness. It's important to use hot water when running the dishwasher to improve the dissolution and cleaning capabilities of these chemicals.
8. Preparing the Dishwasher with Additional Chemicals Before Use
If this is your first time using the dishwasher, pour softening salt into the dishwasher and then start it. Typically, users will need about 1.2kg of salt. If there's not enough salt, the dishwasher will display a red alert with the salt level indicated. In this case, users need to add more salt to reach the required amount.
If you forget to add salt to the right compartment, set the machine to the 'Pre-rinse' mode and adjust the dishwasher to automatically remove salt from the wrong position. Then, refill the salt in the correct compartment.
Next, after filling the softening salt, move on to the specialized rinse aid compartment and fill it. In most cases, if users pour an adequate amount of rinse aid, the appliance will signal for user awareness. Usually, 50ml is sufficient for the dishwasher.
For cases where you use dishwasher tablets, place them in the designated compartment fixed by the manufacturer. For dishwasher powder, pour an adequate amount, and be sure to close the lid securely before use.

14. Dish Loading Tips
Users don't necessarily have to pre-rinse dishes before placing them in the dishwasher. However, it's advisable not to leave leftover food to avoid clogging dishwasher parts like water spray nozzles. Frequent negligence of this may lead to dishwasher malfunctions.
To clean burnt stains in pots or pans, soak them in hot water before placing them in the bottom rack of the dishwasher and running a wash cycle.
18. Additional Considerations
When arranging dishes in the rack, ensure they are securely placed to maintain stable water circulation during operation.
Avoid stacking plates on top of each other or placing multiple plates in one compartment to ensure smooth machine operation, thorough dish cleaning, and to minimize the risk of breakage or water blockage during operation.
