How is the pipeline connected?

The machine is connected as follows:

• decide on a place to install the dishwasher, preferably close to the sewer and water supply system;
• bring water. Connect the drain hose to the water supply;
• connect the desktop dishwasher to a power source (you may need to install a new outlet);
• make sure that the installation is correct and that there are no such unpleasant moments as water overflow and leakage. To do this, you need to do a trial run.

If you have a large family, a small machine will also work for you, you just have to use it more often.Also, these dishwashers can hold 4 sets of dishes, and have a depth of 50 cm. In this case, you will get not only compact equipment, but also narrow.

There are models and more overall, their maximum load is 9 sets.

Advantages of the models:

• high build quality from the best manufacturers with a worldwide reputation;
• budget price range. Compact desktop dishwashers are inferior in price to almost any full-size;
• most dishwashers have not only a standard set of basic programs, but also additional useful options, which puts them on a par with larger appliances;

How to choose and what to look for?

Energy and water consumption

This indicator is of paramount importance when choosing a compact dishwasher.

At first it may seem that the parameter is not significantly different from machines with high consumption, but if you multiply it by 365 days a year, the difference is obvious.

The consumption of electricity directly depends on the method by which the water is heated to the optimum temperature - flowing or heating.

The heating elements are located at the bottom of the chamber, the flow pipes are a tube with external heating located outside the chamber.

Flowing heating will provide more efficient operation and cleaning of dishes, but has a significant drawback in the form of more energy consumption.

Leak and overflow protection AQUASTOP

All dishwashers are connected to the water supply, regardless of their dimensions and other parameters. Working with water always gives rise to the risk of leakage due to deformation of the seals or depressurization of the pipeline.

To prevent all possible negative consequences, it is better to choose only those dishwashers that have full Aquastop leakage protection.

A set of basic programs

The main programs are standard for most dishwashers, including:

The set of programs is standard for all dishwashers, regardless of their modification. It includes:

• daily wash routine. Suitable for dishes with light and medium soiling, produced at temperatures up to 65 degrees;
• intensive - designed for old or severe pollution, temperature - up to 70 degrees;
• economy - cleans light soiling of dishes at temperatures up to 55 degrees. The mode will help save up to 25% of electricity and water;
• express car wash – cleaning dishes in a minimum of time. Only suitable for light or fresh stains.

• pre-soak;
• bio-program;
