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 its
blowing with heated air; the first option is more economical, since it does not require energy and there is also an improved one —
with a heat exchanger; the second, in turn, provides faster drying. The recently introduced new type of
Zeolith drying combines two methods, as it first collects residual moisture and then converts it into heat, which dries the dishes and belongs to premium segment models. Note that not all dishwashers are capable of drying dishes to dryness; see drying class for details.
Cutlery tray
Separate
cutlery tray for loading (spoons, forks, knives, etc.) into the dishwasher. Such a device is more convenient than a common basket: it allows you to load cutlery separately from the rest of the dishes, while the contents of the tray are compactly located in the “seats” specially designed for this. And the quality of washing is often higher than when using a common basket.
Delayed start timer
A timer that automatically starts the dishwasher at the user's set time, eliminating the need to do it manually. This function is useful, for example, if the electricity tariffs during the day and at night are different — by setting the start of washing at night, you can save on electricity bills.
Chamber lighting
The presence of a
lighting system in the working chamber of the dishwasher.
Modern dishwashers have deep working chambers which can make it difficult to see the contents, even when the machine is installed in a brightly lit place. A proprietary lighting system solves this problem by improving visibility and doesn't depend on external light sources.
