Dryer type
The dishwasher has a drying function. Drying can occur both due to the natural evaporation of water from the surface of the dishes (
condensation drying), and due to
turbo dry with heated air. The first option is more economical since it does not require energy. Besides, there is also an improved one —
with a heat exchanger. It provides significantly faster drying. And the recently appeared new type of drying
Zeolith combines both methods because it firstly collects residual moisture and then generates it into heat, which dries the dishes and belongs to the premium segment models. Note that not all machines can dry dishes to complete dryness; see Drying class for details.
End-of-cycle signal
Signal indicates that the machine has finished working. Many dishwashers are quiet, and without a special signal, it can be difficult to determine if the programme has ended.
Upper basket adjustment
The ability to adjust the height at which the top basket of the dishwasher is located. This
adjustment allows you to adjust the device to the height of the dishes: for example, by moving the basket down, you can load large items into it, such as pots or pans.
Child lock
It is a safety system designed for homes where there are small children. Various locks can be provided in the design, To prevent a curious child from injuring himself and ruining the machine — usually for the door, sometimes also for the control panel.
Child lock is disabled in a way that is easily accessible to an adult, but inaccessible to a child.
Noise level
It is an approximate noise level produced by the dishwasher during operation. In modern models, this parameter can range from 38 – 39 dB (muffled human voice) to 59 – 60 dB (rather a loud conversation); more detailed decoding of what sound corresponds to a particular number of decibels can be found in special tables. Anyway, the
low noise level contributes to the comfortable use of the device. It is important if the dishwasher is to be used at night.
