Top 5 Tips to make the most of your Dishwasher!

So, here’s the truth about a Dishwasher – it makes life easy and convenient. Several Indian households have more than 3 family members. This means the dishes can pile up really quick. Do you really want to spend hours and energy cleaning utensils? Instead, you could save all that time and energy by – Loading the vessels and Setting Cycle. Yes! That’s it, and your dishes come out clean, dry, and sanitized! Dishwashers are built durable and long-lasting. But like every appliance in your home, dishwashers need some Tender Loving Care too. Regular home maintenance, good dishwashing care, and simple cleaning will ensure your dishwasher performs efficiently.

Here are the top 5 tips to make the most of your Dishwasher and improve the working of your dishwasher.

1. LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER RIGHT

Indian cooking utilizes more than one vessel. Like a simple dal requires – a cooker, a tadka pan, and another serving vessel. And when the dishes start to pile up, you’re tempted to add in those two extra utensils. Thus, overcrowding your dishwasher. Overcrowding dishwashers not only lower the efficiency of your machine but also deteriorate the working life of it. 

Instead, choose a dishwasher that offers you more space, like the Amstrad Dishwasher with  14 Place Settings. Fill the Amstrad Dishwasher to capacity and simply wash. More place setting means more utensils washed in one cycle and more energy-efficiency.

Amstrad Dishwasher’s 14 Place Settings offer dedicated space for plates, dessert plates, cutlery, cups, mugs and pans. Most effective washing can be achieved when you set all the dirtiest dishes together and use the intensive mode. Oil and masala dry easily on plates and pans. Use the intensive mode on Amstrad Dishwasher along with the ‘Extra Cleaning’ function to get squeaky clean utensils after a 90-minute wash. Stuck with taller or large vessels? Amstrad Dishwasher even allows you to adjust the rack height to fit in those tall rice cookers.

Don’t pack your steel and silver cutlery too tight, mix it up and space them out in the dedicated cutlery tray. Always place your crockery and mugs upside down for a better wash. The lower rack and upper rack in the Amstrad Dishwasher have sufficient gaps and are also equipped with arm sprays. So, the soap and jets of water comfortably reach dishes through them. Packing multiple plates too tightly on both racks will not give enough space for a complete wash and drying.

2. CHOOSING THE DISHWASHER CYCLE

Very often to save water or electricity bills, a shorter wash cycle is chosen, but the dishwasher is packed to the full. When such a cycle is done, you immediately notice the dishes have been barely washed. This is exactly why dishwashers come with multiple wash cycle functions. You can pick and select your wash cycle depending on how soiled your utensils are. Amstrad 14 Place Settings Dishwashers are built with eight-wash programs to give you comfortable cleaning at your convenience.

From delaying washing cycles, timing the dishwashing, to soaking greasy pans and plastics, and a hygienic heated drying. Amstrad Dishwasher gives you multiple wash cycle programs to choose from. Wash out the toughest stains and grease with its intensive wash cycle. Just served a large party tea and coffee, simply switch to the Glass Function for a quick wash. Run a short time cycle with the Express function as it cleans normal to heavily soiled dishes. Only a few utensils soiled? Don’t hand wash, run the alternative wash cycle which gives you the freedom to use the machine even with one-fourth of the load capacity. In a rush to get done with the dishes? Simply hit the Rapid function to quickly wash off everything. 

Here’s one interesting way to make the most out of your dishwasher. With Amstrad Dishwasher you don’t only get to choose the wash cycle, you can also choose which water nozzle to activate. Group the dirtiest dishes on either the upper rack or the lower rack and initiate the nozzle, focusing water only on any one rack. Yes, the rest of your dishes too will get a thorough cleaning. Amstrad Dishwashers come built with 3 powerful arms spray on top, middle, and bottom. This means that focused jet sprays of water get rid of every bit of grease from handles to crevices on your dishes. 

3. SCRAPING AND SOAPING DISHES

Always scrape off leftover food, curry, and finer bits from your dishes before loading in. Still, have some masalas stuck over it? Just scrape it, don’t rinse. Even if your dishes have loads of oil and grease, simply use a spoon to scrape it all off. Pre-rinsing dishes is a waste of time, dishwashing liquid and water. Amstrad Dishwasher’s soak function will deal with stubborn stains.

Add just enough soap in your dishwasher machine with a full load

Now on to loading it with dishwashing liquid. More soap does not mean cleaner dishes. In fact, it means your dishwasher has to work even harder to wash out the soap and dry it better. Dishwashers like Amstrad are built to monitor themselves and automate the functions of washing, rinsing, and drying. Adding excess soap defeats this purpose. 

One of the key ways to get more out of your dishwasher is by adding the right amount of soap. Check the Amstrad manual and use the measuring scoop that accompanies the dishwasher for liquid or detergent. The manual explains the detergent quantity for the size of the load being washed. Amstrad’s Dishwasher will dispense the detergent at the correct time during the wash cycle to clean your dishes.

You live in a place where hard water runs in taps? Yes, cleaning dishes becomes difficult, leaving stains on the utensils. Amstrad Dishwashers come built with ion exchange resin that when combined with salts creates soft water for washing vessels. Conveniently located in separate sections on the door of the machine, you can add your detergent and salts to get shiny vessels.

4. Clean your dishwasher regularly

Yes, your dishwasher needs cleaning too. One of the most important ways to get better performance from your dishwasher is regular maintenance. Food scraps and bits clog up filters and settle on the tray of dishwashers, so clearing this is key for better utensil cleaning.

Today, dishwashers like Amstrad come with self-cleaning technology. Amstrad Dishwashers are designed with an in-built self-cleaning filter system. No bending over backward to clean the bacteria and particles from the filter. Just hit the self-clean button every fortnight and ensure a germ-free and bacteria-free wash for your utensils every time.

Another place a dishwasher usually gets a build-up of gunk is around the door and soap drawer. This too needs a thorough cleaning or you risk mold. Amstrad Dishwashers are built with high rust-resistant Stainless Steel and PCM door options. This not only avoids build-up but also ensures a longer life for your dishwasher. Just give it a regular wipe with a damp cloth and you are good to go. If you want to give it an even squeakier clean, run a short cycle with vinegar once every two months.

5. Drive More Utility with your DISHWASHER 

Think beyond your cooking utensils with your dishwasher. With 8 programs, Amstrad dishwashers can clean your drinking water bottles to give a sanitized wash to milk bottles for your baby.

Yet, some dishes and pans cannot be washed in a dishwasher. Such as your cast iron pans or crockery with delicate gold foiling. The powerful jets could over time cause loss of integrity or remove foiling and design of the utensil. Always check whether your utensils are dishwasher safe.
