It’s a classic discussion question about such a valuable dishwasher: should you open it or leave it closed after a wash programme? According to the experts, there is only one correct answer to this question.
Is the dishwasher open or closed?
While one person opens the dishwasher immediately after the end of the washing programme or the appliance opens the lid on its own, another person deliberately keeps it closed for some time. There is only one correct answer to the eternal “open or close” dilemma: after the end of the washing programme, leave the dishwasher closed for another fifteen minutes to an hour. Thanks to the heat produced by the best dishwasher, the dishes dry better and more beautifully. If you open it immediately, the heat will escape and everything will remain wet. So, now you have a good excuse to put off cleaning for a while.
Dishwashers that open automatically
Although there are many smart dishwashers on the market, there are still models that have not yet got this right and therefore open automatically after the programme has run. In this case, monitor them yourself and close it for a while.
Exception for glassware.
Wine glasses and other beautiful glassware don’t dry well after washing in the dishwasher? Take them out of the machine immediately and thoroughly dry the warm, steaming glasses with a linen cloth. In the catering industry, this is called polishing; we call it a clever trick for shiny glasses. Be careful because the high temperature makes them more vulnerable to breakage.
