Dishwasher tips and tricks?

[Astrid]

Check the instructions. Yes with the first lot of dishwasher rinsing was vital, these days they say scrap not rinse. Part of the cleaning does rely on some food being in there, sort of.

Also agree with steering clear of tablets. They cannot be adjusted based on water type in your area. In some places you can only use a tablespoon of powder, otherwise it suds up too much.

Definitely go with cleaning the filter regularly and also taking of the arms and giving them a clean.

Wow I didn't know that about tablets....thanks.

I third the scraping and cleaning the filters.
I use elcheapo rinse stuff and it's all good here (and we have the hardest water anywhere).

Some DWs won't fit tablets either (if you decide to go that route).

Enjoy it hun.
