Is it necessary to properly scrape your dishes prior to washing them? Yes, as solid food residue can clog your dishwasher and cause it to work ineffectively or damage the machine. It's important to remove all food scraps and rinse your plate, ensuring all hard food surfaces are eliminated.

What to do about hard to remove stains? You may need a kitchen appliance destainer like Dominish that works in 3 simple steps:

Keep in mind for this step: Do not use manual dishwashing detergent.

The 4 golden rules to organising a dishwasher rack:

• Rack according to size
• Plates to be placed leaning backwards
• Bowls and cups placed in an inverted manner
• Cutlery placed upright

Do not overload rack, this prevents a thorough clean and may require a second cycle.

• Wash temperature at 60°C
• Rinse temperature at 82°C
• Check detergent levels

Once the dishes have been through the cycle, allow them to drain and store the dry dishware in a clean area for reuse.

• Turn off the machine
• Empty the tank
• Check and clean the scrap trays

At the end of the day:

• Turn off machine
• Empty the tank
• Check and clean scrap trays, wash and unblock rinse jets and wash arms
• Wipe out machine
