Increasingly, in the kitchens of housewives, such a miracle of technology as a dishwasher appears. You can write a lot about all its advantages, but at the beginning of use, users often wonder where to put the pill and how best to use the product to wash the most soiled dishes. In the article you will find information on where the tablet compartment is located in Hotpoint Ariston dishwashers and other models, as well as how to use this type of detergent.
Where is the pill compartment?
When developing household appliances, manufacturers strive to make it as clear as possible for the user. If any questions arise during operation, the answers to them can be found in the instructions. Unfortunately, people often act intuitively, through trial and error. Such experiments sometimes end badly. Therefore, first of all, you need to read the instructions and find out where to put the tablet in the dishwasher.
Equipment of different brands is different andinternal device. The detergent container is usually located on the inside of the door. There is also a compartment for rinse aid, usually it is equipped with a screw cap. Some models have a special indicator that indicates the presence or absence of rinse aid.
Gel or loose analogue is loaded into the detergent compartment. Depending on the model of the machine, there may be a container for liquid, capsule or powder, or a special compartment for briquettes. For example, in a Bosch dishwasher, the compartments are quite distant from each other. In the photo below you can see how the compartment of the Hotpoint Ariston dishwasher of the latest models is located.
In older models, the use of capsules for washing "all in one" is not provided at all, but simple briquettes can be used. In this case, s alt and rinse aid are purchased separately. In machines of this type, there is a container on the upper basket. When choosing a dishwasher, it is advisable to pay attention to the presence of a 3 in 1 tablet compartment.
Do I need to open the package?
Each tablet of detergent is packaged in a film that protects it from moisture. To answer the question of how to lay the capsule: in the package or not, the instructions for the product can. If the wrapper is dissolving, then the briquette is placed in the tablet compartment in the dishwasher without removing the film. It is very convenient, you do not need to dry your hands first. Dissolving packaging is available for products such as Amway, Finish,Sodasan.
If the packaging is removed to prevent softening of the tablet, make sure that the hands are dry.
The nuances of using pills
Before using the dishwasher, many are interested in questions: which product is better to buy, which is better - gel or tablets, how much drug is required when the machine is fully loaded, and so on. To find answers to these questions, you need to know some of the nuances of using pills.
In the course of operation, many housewives have found that in order to partially load the dishwasher, it is enough to place half a tablet in a container in the dishwasher. The same option is suitable for a compact dishwasher.
Another important point in the use of capsules is the choice of washing mode. For example, in the instructions for some modern models of the machine, it is indicated in which washing mode it is necessary to use a 3 in 1 tablet. As a rule, these are functions of a long wash for more than one hour.
If there are small children at home, you must follow the storage rules. The bright packaging and the appearance of the capsules attract their attention. The chemical composition of the pill can greatly harm the he alth of the baby when you try to eat it. If the tablets have soluble packaging, then if moisture gets on it, they can stick together, so they should be stored in a dry place.
If the pill falls out
Some users wonder if it's normal for a pill to fall out ofcompartment, maybe the tablet compartment in the dishwasher is broken. The principle of operation of the dishwasher is designed in such a way that after its activation, a capsule is ejected from the compartment and gradually dissolves in water.
In some cases, to speed up the dissolution process, people crush the pill into powder. For 3 in 1 detergents, this is a fundamentally wrong action: rinse aid should only be used at the final stage of washing, this will not happen in crushed form.
When the program starts, the briquette is ejected from the compartment, but this should happen at a certain moment. If it doesn't, the reason is:
- dishes are not properly laid out, something is preventing the compartment from opening;
- dispenser cap stuck.
How to place the pill correctly?
Some users place the pill in any place they think is most suitable without reading the instructions. Others, on the contrary, are wondering where to put the tablet in the dishwasher for efficient washing.
The answer is simple - you can put it on either side in a special compartment, this will in no way affect the action of the product and the process of its dissolution.
However, it is recommended to adhere to the following rules:
- food leftovers from plates should be removed;
- The lid of the container in which the product is loaded must be tightly closed.
Where to put the tablet in the dishwasher to wash dishes well? Cleanliness depends morefrom the washing regime than from the placement of the product. It is necessary to select a continuous mode at maximum load. Not having time to dissolve in a short wash, the product will settle on the bottom, and the dishes will be washed poorly.
Similar to tablets - gel: where to pour?
Where to put the tablet in the dishwasher. We figured it out. But what to do with a liquid remedy?
Many users prefer to use dishwashing gel instead of tablets. Its application directly depends on the selected program.
For example, if the “Pre-rinse” mode is set, the agent is poured into the rinse aid compartment. If the main wash mode starts, then the gel is poured into a container for powder or other detergents.
The algorithm of actions here is as follows:
- dishes are loaded in accordance with the rules;
- gel is poured into the detergent container according to the instructions;
- starting machine.
Many users claim that the manufacturer indicates the dosage, obviously more than necessary. If you reduce it by a quarter, you can achieve the same result, but at the same time save. Even if the product contains emollient components, s alt is recommended to be used in any case.
