How to load and arrange the dishes?
Before placing any dishes in the dishwasher, please ensure that they are dishwasher-safe. Place the dishes from the bottom to the top of the dishwasher. As a general rule, it is advisable to stack large items such as pots and pans down on a rack below. Long objects such as baking trays should be placed on the side to prevent blocking the flow of hot water. Dishes, big and small bowls should be placed in the middle. The top shelf should be used to store glassware such as cups and glasses. You can also place plastic food containers on the top shelf but keep them away from the heating elements of the dishwasher.
Another tip when placing dishes in the dishwasher is to put the dirtiest dishes in the middle of the machine. You may consider selecting Electrolux ESF7530ROX free-standing dishwasher. This model has a FlexiSpray ™ arm that helps increase performance during washing.
How to deal with a clogged dishwasher?
The dishwasher is clogged normally because the filter or drain hose is filled with dirt. Accumulated dirt without cleaning may reduce the appliance's performance, causing blockage and unpleasant odours. To deal with a clogged dishwasher, you need to clean the filter and drain out the pipes and the drain valves.
First of all, unplug the dishwasher and take all dishes and racks out. Remove the cylindrical and coarse filter at the bottom of the dishwasher. Once the filters have been disassembled, please check to see anything clogging. Use warm soapy water to clean and wash off any residues from both filters. Once completed, reattach the 2 filters and start a short washing program to check if the problem has been solved.
To drain the water, simply remove the drain hose from the dishwasher and check if it is clogged. Use a long flexible brush to clear the clogged, or use a large pressure washer hose to wash away any residues. Then, start a short washing program to check if the machine is unclogged.
