The last thing we need is to have the dishwasher break down halfway through a load - the kitchen will be filled with piles of dishes, so make sure you take care of it with our dos and don’ts:
Do:
- Get rid of any food from the dishes before loading them in.
- Wait until it is full before tuning it on.
- Check it has adequate salt to stop limescale building up and rinse aid to prevent streaking at least once a month.
- Clean it weekly to stop food becoming trapped in the filter and the door rims.
- Do run it when empty every six months or so to stop it smelling.
Don’t:
- Don’t overfill it, otherwise nothing will come out clean.
- Don’t overuse detergent as it can leave residue.
- Don’t put in plates with food scraps on it.
- Don't put jars with labels in as the glue can clog pipes and drains.
