Hello mam. I recently bought bosch dishwasher. I live in mumbai. We have soft water. I used finish all in one tablet but some soapy residue seen on vessels. Asked bosch service guy he told to use rinse aid and salt as well. I used it but set level to zero. And salt to soft. Still same result. If i select 65 to 70 ° programme for 2.5 hr and use finish quantum tablet vessels are clean. If i use finish detergent what rinse aid level should be.
Hi Ashwini, for soft water like that in Mumbai, you will get very good cleaning results with detergent, salt and rinse aid combinations rather than tablets which already have a certain quantity of salt and rinse aid. That is the reason for the soap residue that you see on your vessels. In case you want to use tablets, especially those like Finish Quantum, you can set both salt and rinse aid levels to zero, and if you are going to use Finish detergent(which is actually very good for soft water) you can set the salt and rinse aid to the minimum level. Moreover, tablets can be used effectively in longer cycles than in short duration cycles. Also, it's ideal to use a tablet only for heavily soiled utensils in a long cycle. I've uploaded many videos on dishwashers which includes a series of videos on detergents. You can watch those videos by clicking the link of the playlist below: DISHWASHER DETERGENTS/TABLETS/GEL: ruclips.net/p/PLvZ681nV6tYpjbPPiogP2RIuDgCtx5Hg6 Hope you find them useful, as you are new dishwasher user. Thanks.
Please try it out, if it's mentioned as dishwasher salt. I've seen in Amazon, but have not yet got the chance to buy and use it. Let me know how you find it.
I'm using Bosch dishwasher..using crystal tablets..I have not added rinse aid and salt into the machine..I'm not facing any problem in cleaning ..but both the rinse aid and salt indicators are running..will it be a problem for dishwasher?
Hi Sarita, If you are using tablets permanently and are getting good results, it is better to set both salt and rinse aid setting to H:00 and r:00. If you do this, the indicator lights will not be glowing always. I have shown rinse aid and salt setting in the video whose link is given below - ruclips.net/video/-jHUQwX82l4/видео.html Thanks.
Hi Arun Shankar S, Please watch my detailed video showing checklist for dishwasher - ruclips.net/video/fthMXjvSD_0/видео.html I am sure you will find the answers to your questions in this video. Thanks.
Hi mam iam interested in buying the models of bosch , but when i went through the review service backup complaints r more what to do i stay in Bangalore.
Hi Safia. I cannot comment on whether BOSCH service is good or bad. Fortunately I have not had the need to call for service. My feeling is if used and handled properly, BOSCH dishwasher is trouble free and should give you long life without any need for service. And I feel that since BOSCH headquarters is in Bangalore, you should be able to get proper service from them. Please check with your appliance dealer for service reliability. Thank you.
Mam after washing in dishwasher my vessels are clean dry shiny only,but if iam touching cleaned vessels in my wet hand it is silky (வழவழப்பு) soapy feelings and make me to wash or rinse again in tap water, inside in tumblers ican feel வழவழப்புsospy but it is clean ,can u explain mam, what remedy I have to take
Hi Maheswari, I understood your problem as soon as I read it. But since you were mentioning about your intention to use homemade detergent in your mail, I was wondering if the formula wasn't suiting your water. Anyway since you're using Finish, you must be using salt and rinse aid as well. What are the settings? How hard is your water? From your issue, I feel your rinse aid level is kept high. So reduce the level of rinse aid, your problem should be solved.
Mam i recently bought lg dw and using since only ten days and today i observed a problem that it was not continuing the cycle where it was stopped due to power cut/stoppage and it was started again from beginning in the turbo cycle which i was selected. how i can correct it. Pl let me know thanks in advance.
You are right regarding the auto restart, a lot of my viewers recently have reported the same issue ie. the dishwasher does not resume from same point but starts from the beginning after a power cut, which should not be the case. I am not sure whether this is only in one lot or this is a deficiency in the machine. Incidentally, I did not face this issue when I got the opportunity to use the machine for two months last year during which I made my videos. Auto resume feature is a simple and common one which is there in all gadgets nowadays and is a convenient and necessary feature. I think you will need to call LG service to get this issue addressed and clarified. Thanks.
@@BhuvanaAdi Thanks mam. As u said that the resume function is very common now a days in any type of gadget/appliances and is a must and should have feature. But why this LG co is not maintains this i bought the dw with a lots of hope on the brand of lg i am disappointed totally.
Hi Shyamala. Thanks for the query. I just went to BOSCH INDIA website and saw that they have launched a few new models which are even available for sale in online websites. They seem to have introduced two models SMS66GW01I (White) and SMS66GI01I (Silver). But on, going through the features and specifications, I saw that these models are identical to SMS60L12IN (White) and SMS60L18IN (Silver) respectively which were available earlier. In which case, you could go for either of the two new models based on your colour preference. Hope this answers your query. Thank you.
Hi Bhuvana, I have recently bought a bosch dishwasher, it's been a month am using it, your video series have been really helpful to me to understand the things, I have purchased crystale tablets after watching your comparision video, the steel kadais are having whitish layer at the bottom after the run cycle, am using AUTO mode most of the times , what is causing this issue? Please help me understand
Thank you Pavani. Can you please wash the same kadais in Eco mode and find the results. According to me in Bosch, Eco cycle gives excellent cleaning results. Also it is the most economical in water and power consumption. You have not mentioned about you salt and rinse aid settings and your water hardness. If Crystale is not okay for you, you can even try Finish or Bosch detergent. Try out these changes and see if you find any difference.
@@BhuvanaAdi thanks a ton for the reply.. I will try eco mode, the salt setting I have changed but I haven't changed the factory setting of rinse aid, may be I will change it as well.. all the other vessels are coming out clean except my stainless it kadais and pressure cookers , they are turning out rainbow colors, am so much confused what is causing this ? Please.help me if you had similar experience... thanks in advance
Hi Seema, dishwashers are not harmful for health as it is a machine which does the work which we do manually. Use of riinse aid is not compulsory, it is mainly for drying and to avoid formation of streaks on dishes. If you have doubt, you can avoid using rinse aid. I buy Crystal tablets from Amazon.
Mam I had one question before buying the lg dishwasher. I wanted to know the length of the door opening so that I can know how much space is required in front of the dishwasher.... Currently at the place I'm planning to get it installed, there is a kitchen cabinet in front of the space for the dishwasher with some space in between. I don't think this info is available online. So basically just nned to know how much the door height is
Hi Oliver, You are right. The total dimension with door open is not given by most manufacturers. Actually I was waiting for the exact dimension sheet from LG but it has not come till date. I have measured my Bosch dimensions with door fully open and the LG dimensions should be almost identical I believe. The clear space required in front to open the door fully is about 23 inches. The total dimension from back of machine to end of fully open door is 47 inches. Hope this helps. I don't know whether you are planning to buy offline or online. In case you are buying online, I would be happy if you could buy through my buying links - mentioned in the description of my videos (of course this is only after online sales and despatches of large items commence). To you it would not make any difference in price, but I would get a small commission from Amazon/Flipkart which helps me to support my channel and stay motivated to post videos that benefit my viewers. In case you have difficulty in finding the link, please let me know. Thank you.
@@BhuvanaAdi thanks a ot for dimensions ... If buying online I'll surely consider buying from one of your links, but most likely I will be buying offline as lg has a good offer in offline stores I. E. Between 3-6 k cashback, some grocery shopping vouchers worth 5k and 1-2 other things... Its listed on the lg India website as of now
@@olifern No issues at all. Please buy wherever you get the best price and offers. Mostly people prefer to buy dishwasher consumables online because that's where the best prices and choice are normally found and many offline supermarkets and shops don't stock them. Later when you look to buy consumables like detergent/tablet, rinse aid and salt, you could buy through my links. These can be found in any of my numerous dishwasher detergent/tablet/comparison videos I have posted. Thanks.
Mam firstly i have to say ☺️thank u so much,In 2 years of researching for brand,model,price,ease of use finally i ordered bosch dishwasher in online shopping site,now the price of bosch dishwasher was decreased compared to any other local brands.coming to the topic,ur dishwasher video series helped me and others alot to make a right decision.my aunty from switzerland also recommends bosch products.she said that they are using bosch dishwasher for 17 years without any problems.Now my mom are super excited to use dishwasher and her work load will be decrease.Also ur washing machine video helped to buy lg fl washer previously we used "SPEED QUEEN" washer made in USA and its imported in 1990 that time 1 lack indian rupees included imported charges.That machine running gud but takes too much water and bit noisy too so by seeing ur washer series we got lg fl washer .we are very happy to say this "you helped alot to make best decision in home appliances "Bhuvana adi -the super woman 👌
Thank you @Abushek Akbarji for all the kind words and appreciation. I do not think I am doing anything great. I am just trying to help people by showing those gadgets which I am using and have benefitted from. I am very happy that my videos have helped you in choosing the right dishwasher and washing machine. I am sure your mom would be greatly benefitted once she starts using the dishwasher. Thank you once again.
If you have pre wash in your machine, you can use that option before the actual program. That way dishes will get rinsed and then washing cycle starts.. I do not have pre wash in my machine. So I soak my vessels till a full load gets accumulated. Before loading i drain the water and load them in the dishwasher. Hope I've cleared your doubt.
Hi Mona, aluminium tends to get discoloured when washed in dishwasher especially in higher temperatures. I've been washing aluminium in my dishwasher for many years now, but in the shortest low temperature cycle. Having said this, I would like to add that I've changed my aluminium cookers to steel cookers and also bought many steel kadais as they are safe to wash in the dishwasher in any program cycle.
Hi Shitikanta, a good question. As per the manual aluminum is not recommended to be washed in the dishwasher as it can get discoloured in the long run. But I have been using a dishwasher for more than 6&1/2 years now and my experience says that aluminum can be washed in a low temperature short duration cycle which doesn't affect the aluminium utensil. I've been doing this all these years without any harm done to my dishes. But in the initial years one or two of my pans and an anodised cooker got spoilt when unknowingly I washed them in high temperature long duration wash program. Having said this I would like to add that in the last few years I have made a conscious effort to switch over from aluminium to steel, be it kadais or cookers and even pans. Though aluminum has it's advantages, if you are going to depend on your dishwasher for you daily washing, it's better to invest in steel as it is not only durable and healthy alternative to aluminium, but also safer to be used in the dishwasher in any temperature. Especially aluminum with Teflon coating and anodised aluminum are not suitable for the dishwasher. Steel cookware may be costly initially, but you don't have the risk of your costly cookware getting damaged when washed in a dishwasher. I've many more videos on various other topics in dishwasher usage in my channel. Please watch them. There is one video specifically showing washing if aluminum. Please watch to get a clearer picture. Hope I've cleared your doubts satisfactorily. Please feel free to write in case you have any more doubts. Thank you.
Hi @@kar3shitikantha , do watch that, you will understand what I said earlier. Also go through the playlist of dishwasher demo videos and see if you find something useful to clarify your doubts. Thanks once again.
Hi Seema. This is one question I cannot answer clearly. Till date, fortunately my machine has been working properly so I have not had the need to call for their service. If you go to online forums and even websites like Amazon, Flipkart, or the Facebook pages of these companies, you will find numerous comments and complaints from actual buyers. Some even praise the service. So I believe this is based on various factors like your location, service team in that area, their efficiency and availability of spares and knowledge of the visiting technician. This is the case not for just one brand or one appliance. Most of the companies think that their job is finished after sale of the product. So you will need to talk to the local showroom, company service centre (call their toll free number) and then take a proper decision. In the end, wish and pray that you are lucky enough not to need service. Thank you.
Bhuvana A Thank you so much for your prompt reply. (I will follow your advice.) Infact you are doing such a good demo work that Bosch should come forward and not only recognize your work but should pay you for doing their work. Kudos to you.
Thanks a lot for getting inspired by my videos. Good that you decided to buy a dish washer for yourself. Hope you have a very good dish washing experience. Good luck.
Just like your washing machine or any other gadget, you can use as many times in a day. Leave gaps between two wash cycles, maybe 30 minutes. Thank you.
hi mam im using crystale dishwasher tablet..after the cycles i find water droplets in some vessels..some vessels are squeaky clean..what is the reason..everytime finding water droplets in door too ..its a new bosch sms60l18in ..please help
If you are getting water droplets on vessels, this is most likely to be rinse aid setting problem. For your usage and water quality, the present rinse aid s etting is less. Although Crystale tablet has rinse aid in it, it might not be sufficient for your water and usage. So I would advise you to increase the rinse aid setting by 1 or 2 levels and then observe, your problem should get solved. Feel free to write if you still have a problem. Thank you. I have shown rinse aid setting in my video below - ruclips.net/video/-jHUQwX82l4/видео.html
@@sivagpriya hi, i don't understand. Do you mean to say you have not added rinse aid at all? If so, please add rinse aid and keep the rinse aid setting in 1 or 2 if you are always using tablets and not detergents. Because tablets are a combination of detergent, rinse aid and salt. Yet it may be required to use rinse aid and salt as the quantity present in the tablet may not be enough. If your water is very hard and you still get the problem, you may have to increase the setting. Similar is the case for salt as well. I hope I have made myself clear. Please try this out and let me know if you find any change in the wash quality. Please write to me in case of any other problem. Thank you.
@@BhuvanaAdi s i didnt add rinse aid r salt at all..the demo person told no need rinse aid r salt if im using tablet regularly..only during demo he added the rinse aid provided with the machine
Hi Spanda , I must say that the technician has not given you the right advice. Even if you are using tablet, unless and until your water quality is very good, a little amount of salt and rinse aid is required as the tablet may not have the amount required to suit your water quality. Please see my video on water hardness in which I have shown about rinse aid and salt setting. Also go through your dishwasher manual, especially the topic on rinse aid and salt. You will find all details in that and I am sure all your doubts will be cleared. Hope this helps. Thank you.
Madam, I bought new LG DFB424FW 14 pl on last sunday 12th July 2020. It is not cleaning properly and it is not heating the water. when i opened the door soon after the cycle ends all the utensils are very cold and so much of water is dripping from them even though i kept the extra dry. What could be the probelm madam.
@srinivasa chalapati, sorry about your problem. Can you tell me which program you had selected and did you run any more cycles? Did you try using the steam or high temperature option. Try these and note whether the water is still cold. If the results are the same and you still feel the water is not heating, then I think you should call the service people.
@@BhuvanaAdi Yes madam I tried Auto cycle with steam and high temperature, turbo with steam, turbo with extra dry also tried. But still the water is cold only. Yes. I need to call the service person it seems. Thank you madam for the fast response.
Yes any greasy utensil of kadai can be washed in dishwasher because it uses hot water depending on cycles with wash temperatures ranging from 45 to 75 deg C.
@@gags-d-gr8 there are program cycles ranging from 29 minutes to 2hrs55 mins, each running in different temperatures. You have to choose programs based on the amount of soiling of dishes. Yes, 1 wash per day is sufficient for a family of 3-4.
Hi Giridhar, I am not aware of the spare parts availability and cost. Luckily, I have not had the need to call for service or spares. But Bosch being a globally reputed brand with good presence in India, I believe there should not be a problem in spares supply. Regarding cost, you could enquire with the dealer or company service centre about the cost of the spares that you need or may need. Thank you.
Thanks for your query Sharan Das Rajdev. There are lot of brands of dishwashers available in India right now like Bosch, IFB, Siemens, LG, Samsung, Koryo, Kaff, etc. Siemens and Bosch are from the same group. The technology and functioning is the same for all brands. Based on my personal experience of usage, I can say that I am happy with Bosch. IFB has been in India since many years and lots of people use it and are happy with it. Your choice should be based on easy availaility and service back up in your location and also pricing and offers, if any. Thank you.
Hi Mukund, sorry about your problem. For any dish to be properly cleaned in a dishwasher, few things are important : 1. Proper placement of dishes on the rack. More soiled to be placed in the peripheri, as spray arms have more holes in the end. 2. Dishes have to be soaked if not loaded immediately after use in the dishwasher. Else dried up food particles will not get cleaned easily. Other option would be to use the pre rinse option, before selection of the actual wash cycle. 3. Correct program cycle. For more greasy, heavily soiled dishes, you've to opt for high temperature long program cycles and for low and medium soiled dishes you can select a short duration low temperature cycle. 4. Correct amount of detergent based on level of soilng is also important for proper cleaning of dishes. 5. Adjust your salt and rinse aid setting levels based on your water quality. Having taken care of this, you should get perfect results from your dishwasher. But you should remember that dishwasher is not a magic machine, there is no scrubbing involved like in manual wash. Few utensils may not be 100% cleaned. Make a little effort of washing those one or two dishes immediately after wash program completes, and you will get them clean totally I hope I have given you a convincing reply and by following the above, your problem gets solved.
Vijay Pandit Hi, sorry for the delayed reply. The height of the plates should be such that, when placed in the bottom rack, it shouldn't touch/obstruct the spray arm below the upper rack. The safe height is 11 inches if placed straight in the plates rack. More than 11 inches can only be kept in a slanting manner. Also if the the thickness of the thali is more than 3/4 inches, it will not fit in the plates rack, you've to keep it outside along with other dishes only. Hope I've cleared your doubt. Thank you
Thanks Bhuvana Adi for your clear reply. Can you please tell me where to get all internal dimensions of dishwasher. It will help to choose any particular model before taking decision.
Hi. I am not sure the user manual mentions the internal dimensions. This is to the best of my knowledge. If you really want to know the internal dimensions, I think you will need to visit a showroom, see a machine and take measurements yourself. Or else you will need to contact the company directly. Thank you very much.
seema sood hi, I shall give links of other diswasher demo videos showing various utensils being washed. So you can see the before and after of each item being washed.
I am sharing the playlist of my dishwasher videos for your reference, In the Quick demo video and the Full steel using powerball I have shown tea and milk vessels before loading and after washing. Hope you would watch them. Thank you. ruclips.net/video/cAPJ-0r_SlU/видео.html
seema sood Thank you for your kind words of appreciation. Happy to be of help to you. My idea is to mainly help clear people's apprehensions about using a dishwasher for Indian dishes. I can understand the problems of people in finding good domestic help these days. Dish washer is a new concept in India, though it is slowly picking up. But unless they are very sure, with all their doubts cleared thoroughly, people will hesitate to make a decision. So in my own way I am trying to help people make a decision, since I've been enjoying the benefits of having and using a dishwasher for the past 6 years. Thank you once again.
Don't open the dishwasher immediately as it will be very hot inside. After 5-10 minutes, open it slightly and leave it slanted. Give some more time, so that all the water inside drains, and then open the door fully, pulling out the rack one by one.
@@shilpahegde9180 Yes, after the program ends fully, give a gap of 5-10 minutes and slightly open the door, not fully. Later after 15-20 minutes or even 30 minutes you can open the door fully.
Hi Ashwini. Thanks for the query and request. Since I have not used any robotic floor cleaner I am not in a position to guide you on this. However I have made a demo video of a battery operated sweeper LEIFHEIT Power Delta. Please check out the same. Thank you. I am sharing the link below : ruclips.net/video/FZETlw6tEXs/видео.html
Hi Reshma, LG is a good brand. I have seen LG dishwasher in the showrooms and they look impressive. LG has 3 spray arms which I think is a good feature. Also, the rack height is slightly higher than other brands which I feel is good. They say it has direct drive, don't get taken in by it. A dishwasher has no rotating part and even the water spray arm rotation happens by the reaction of the water jet spray. Only the water supply pump and drain water pump use motor. These are too small and direct drive has no meaning. Direct drive has meaning only in washing machine which has a rotating drum and where the motor handles the full load. I found the LG dishwasher priced at least ₹ 10000 more than other brands. If you like it and don't mind the price difference, you could go for it. I have been using LG washing machine, microwave oven since many years and they give trouble free reliable performance. So their dishwashers must be good too. But reasons best known to them, LG is not concentrating on marketing dishwashers in India. Hope this is useful. Thank you.

To you it would not make any difference in price, but I would get a small commission from Amazon/Flipkart which helps me to support my channel and stay motivated to post videos that benefit my viewers. In case you have difficulty in finding the link, please let me know. Thank you.
@@BhuvanaAdi thanks a ot for dimensions ... If buying online I'll surely consider buying from one of your links, but most likely I will be buying offline as lg has a good offer in offline stores I. E. Between 3-6 k cashback, some grocery shopping vouchers worth 5k and 1-2 other things... Its listed on the lg India website as of now
@@olifern No issues at all. Please buy wherever you get the best price and offers.
Mostly people prefer to buy dishwasher consumables online because that's where the best prices and choice are normally found and many offline supermarkets and shops don't stock them. Later when you look to buy consumables like detergent/tablet, rinse aid and salt, you could buy through my links. These can be found in any of my numerous dishwasher detergent/tablet/comparison videos I have posted. Thanks.
Dear Bhuvana, Thanks for your informative video. Wanted to know what per arrangements you had to make for installation of the dishwasher
Hey Pradnya, thank you.
Please wait for a video on this soon.
Ok . Thanks dear

Thank you @Abushek Akbarji for all the kind words and appreciation. I do not think I am doing anything great. I am just trying to help people by showing those gadgets which I am using and have benefitted from. I am very happy that my videos have helped you in choosing the right dishwasher and washing machine. I am sure your mom would be greatly benefitted once she starts using the dishwasher.
Thank you once again.
Do we have to give one initial wash to the vessels before loading in dishwasher for scrubbing
If you have pre wash in your machine, you can use that option before the actual program. That way dishes will get rinsed and then washing cycle starts..
I do not have pre wash in my machine. So I soak my vessels till a full load gets accumulated. Before loading i drain the water and load them in the dishwasher.
Hope I've cleared your doubt.
Bhuvana Adi you have absolutely cleared my doubt. Thanks. Have a great day
You're welcome! 👍
Hi ma'am, they say do not use almunium?
Hi Mona, aluminium tends to get discoloured when washed in dishwasher especially in higher temperatures.
I've been washing aluminium in my dishwasher for many years now, but in the shortest low temperature cycle.
Having said this, I would like to add that I've changed my aluminium cookers to steel cookers and also bought many steel kadais as they are safe to wash in the dishwasher in any program cycle.
Does it harm the aluminium utensils? Some videos show aluminium utensils are not recommended as the get damaged.. Please help me with the doubt.
Hi Shitikanta, a good question. As per the manual aluminum is not recommended to be washed in the dishwasher as it can get discoloured in the long run. But I have been using a dishwasher for more than 6&1/2 years now and my experience says that aluminum can be washed in a low temperature short duration cycle which doesn't affect the aluminium utensil. I've been doing this all these years without any harm done to my dishes. But in the initial years one or two of my pans and an anodised cooker got spoilt when unknowingly I washed them in high temperature long duration wash program.
Having said this I would like to add that in the last few years I have made a conscious effort to switch over from aluminium to steel, be it kadais or cookers and even pans. Though aluminum has it's advantages, if you are going to depend on your dishwasher for you daily washing, it's better to invest in steel as it is not only durable and healthy alternative to aluminium, but also safer to be used in the dishwasher in any temperature. Especially aluminum with Teflon coating and anodised aluminum are not suitable for the dishwasher. Steel cookware may be costly initially, but you don't have the risk of your costly cookware getting damaged when washed in a dishwasher.
I've many more videos on various other topics in dishwasher usage in my channel. Please watch them. There is one video specifically showing washing if aluminum. Please watch to get a clearer picture.
Hope I've cleared your doubts satisfactorily. Please feel free to write in case you have any more doubts.
Thank you.
@@BhuvanaAdi thank you for your valuable replay .. I will watch the episode on aluminium utensils..
Hi @@kar3shitikantha , do watch that, you will understand what I said earlier.
Also go through the playlist of dishwasher demo videos and see if you find something useful to clarify your doubts.
Thanks once again.
How is the service of Bosch? I'm based in Delhi. Many people complain about the bad service, is it true?
Hi Seema. This is one question I cannot answer clearly. Till date, fortunately my machine has been working properly so I have not had the need to call for their service. If you go to online forums and even websites like Amazon, Flipkart, or the Facebook pages of these companies, you will find numerous comments and complaints from actual buyers. Some even praise the service. So I believe this is based on various factors like your location, service team in that area, their efficiency and availability of spares and knowledge of the visiting technician. This is the case not for just one brand or one appliance. Most of the companies think that their job is finished after sale of the product.
So you will need to talk to the local showroom, company service centre (call their toll free number) and then take a proper decision. In the end, wish and pray that you are lucky enough not to need service. Thank you.
Bhuvana A Thank you so much for your prompt reply. (I will follow your advice.) Infact you are doing such a good demo work that Bosch should come forward and not only recognize your work but should pay you for doing their work. Kudos to you.
Thanks a lot ma'am for inspiring me to buy a dishwasher.......I wanted to buy it since 2 months but had some doubts....u solved it ....am very happy
Thanks a lot for getting inspired by my videos. Good that you decided to buy a dish washer for yourself. Hope you have a very good dish washing experience. Good luck.
How many times can we use in a day?Though you may clearly explained,I have this doubt.
Just like your washing machine or any other gadget, you can use as many times in a day. Leave gaps between two wash cycles, maybe 30 minutes. Thank you.
Bhuvana A thanks a lot
hi mam
im using crystale dishwasher tablet..after the cycles i find water droplets in some vessels..some vessels are squeaky clean..what is the reason..everytime finding water droplets in door too ..its a new bosch sms60l18in ..please help
If you are getting water droplets on vessels, this is most likely to be rinse aid setting problem. For your usage and water quality, the present rinse aid s etting is less. Although Crystale tablet has rinse aid in it, it might not be sufficient for your water and usage. So I would advise you to increase the rinse aid setting by 1 or 2 levels and then observe, your problem should get solved. Feel free to write if you still have a problem. Thank you.
I have shown rinse aid setting in my video below -
ruclips.net/video/-jHUQwX82l4/видео.html
is changing the setting is enough..no need to add rinse aid seperately?
@@sivagpriya hi, i don't understand. Do you mean to say you have not added rinse aid at all? If so, please add rinse aid and keep the rinse aid setting in 1 or 2 if you are always using tablets and not detergents. Because tablets are a combination of detergent, rinse aid and salt. Yet it may be required to use rinse aid and salt as the quantity present in the tablet may not be enough.
If your water is very hard and you still get the problem, you may have to increase the setting. Similar is the case for salt as well.
I hope I have made myself clear. Please try this out and let me know if you find any change in the wash quality.
Please write to me in case of any other problem.
Thank you.
@@BhuvanaAdi s i didnt add rinse aid r salt at all..the demo person told no need rinse aid r salt if im using tablet regularly..only during demo he added the rinse aid provided with the machine
Hi Spanda , I must say that the technician has not given you the right advice. Even if you are using tablet, unless and until your water quality is very good, a little amount of salt and rinse aid is required as the tablet may not have the amount required to suit your water quality. Please see my video on water hardness in which I have shown about rinse aid and salt setting. Also go through your dishwasher manual, especially the topic on rinse aid and salt. You will find all details in that and I am sure all your doubts will be cleared. Hope this helps. Thank you.
Madam, I bought new LG DFB424FW 14 pl on last sunday 12th July 2020. It is not cleaning properly and it is not heating the water. when i opened the door soon after the cycle ends all the utensils are very cold and so much of water is dripping from them even though i kept the extra dry. What could be the probelm madam.
@srinivasa chalapati, sorry about your problem. Can you tell me which program you had selected and did you run any more cycles?
Did you try using the steam or high temperature option. Try these and note whether the water is still cold.
If the results are the same and you still feel the water is not heating, then I think you should call the service people.
@@BhuvanaAdi Yes madam I tried Auto cycle with steam and high temperature, turbo with steam, turbo with extra dry also tried. But still the water is cold only. Yes. I need to call the service person it seems. Thank you madam for the fast response.
How is the cleaning btw? Please call the service people immediately.
@@BhuvanaAdi Ha cleaning is ok madam. As no hot water so not so much cleaning.. i called for service
Ok that's good. Hope your problem gets resolved soon.
What about the kadai used for making ghee? Can that be washed in the DW too?
Yes any greasy utensil of kadai can be washed in dishwasher because it uses hot water depending on cycles with wash temperatures ranging from 45 to 75 deg C.
Thanks. Also, what's the time taken for 1 wash? Full loaded.
I feel, 1 wash /day for a family of 3 should be fine?
@@gags-d-gr8 there are program cycles ranging from 29 minutes to 2hrs55 mins, each running in different temperatures. You have to choose programs based on the amount of soiling of dishes.
Yes, 1 wash per day is sufficient for a family of 3-4.
Thanks
Hi Mam , any idea about spare parts availability and cost
Hi Giridhar, I am not aware of the spare parts availability and cost. Luckily, I have not had the need to call for service or spares. But Bosch being a globally reputed brand with good presence in India, I believe there should not be a problem in spares supply. Regarding cost, you could enquire with the dealer or company service centre about the cost of the spares that you need or may need. Thank you.
Which dishwasher is best according to you? Please mention any 3
Thanks for your query Sharan Das Rajdev. There are lot of brands of dishwashers available in India right now like Bosch, IFB, Siemens, LG, Samsung, Koryo, Kaff, etc. Siemens and Bosch are from the same group. The technology and functioning is the same for all brands. Based on my personal experience of usage, I can say that I am happy with Bosch. IFB has been in India since many years and lots of people use it and are happy with it. Your choice should be based on easy availaility and service back up in your location and also pricing and offers, if any. Thank you.
@@BhuvanaAdi please tell whether indalium kadai can be used in bosch dw
Thanks ma'am
My Bosch dishwasher is not cleaning kadahi and cooker.
Hi Mukund, sorry about your problem.
For any dish to be properly cleaned in a dishwasher, few things are important :
1. Proper placement of dishes on the rack. More soiled to be placed in the peripheri, as spray arms have more holes in the end.
2. Dishes have to be soaked if not loaded immediately after use in the dishwasher. Else dried up food particles will not get cleaned easily. Other option would be to use the pre rinse option, before selection of the actual wash cycle.
3. Correct program cycle. For more greasy, heavily soiled dishes, you've to opt for high temperature long program cycles and for low and medium soiled dishes you can select a short duration low temperature cycle.
4. Correct amount of detergent based on level of soilng is also important for proper cleaning of dishes.
5. Adjust your salt and rinse aid setting levels based on your water quality.
Having taken care of this, you should get perfect results from your dishwasher. But you should remember that dishwasher is not a magic machine, there is no scrubbing involved like in manual wash. Few utensils may not be 100% cleaned. Make a little effort of washing those one or two dishes immediately after wash program completes, and you will get them clean totally
I hope I have given you a convincing reply and by following the above, your problem gets solved.
Can SS dining plates (Thalis) of 13.5 inches diameter be cleaned in dishwasher?
Vijay Pandit Hi, sorry for the delayed reply. The height of the plates should be such that, when placed in the bottom rack, it shouldn't touch/obstruct the spray arm below the upper rack. The safe height is 11 inches if placed straight in the plates rack. More than 11 inches can only be kept in a slanting manner. Also if the the thickness of the thali is more than 3/4 inches, it will not fit in the plates rack, you've to keep it outside along with other dishes only. Hope I've cleared your doubt. Thank you
Thanks Bhuvana Adi for your clear reply. Can you please tell me where to get all internal dimensions of dishwasher. It will help to choose any particular model before taking decision.
Hi. I am not sure the user manual mentions the internal dimensions. This is to the best of my knowledge. If you really want to know the internal dimensions, I think you will need to visit a showroom, see a machine and take measurements yourself. Or else you will need to contact the company directly. Thank you very much.
Can you show the milk pan before and after?
seema sood hi, I shall give links of other diswasher demo videos showing various utensils being washed. So you can see the before and after of each item being washed.
I am sharing the playlist of my dishwasher videos for your reference, In the Quick demo video and the Full steel using powerball I have shown tea and milk vessels before loading and after washing. Hope you would watch them. Thank you.
ruclips.net/video/cAPJ-0r_SlU/видео.html
seema sood Thank you for your kind words of appreciation. Happy to be of help to you. My idea is to mainly help clear people's apprehensions about using a dishwasher for Indian dishes. I can understand the problems of people in finding good domestic help these days. Dish washer is a new concept in India, though it is slowly picking up. But unless they are very sure, with all their doubts cleared thoroughly, people will hesitate to make a decision. So in my own way I am trying to help people make a decision, since I've been enjoying the benefits of having and using a dishwasher for the past 6 years. Thank you once again.
Quick cycle is proper to clean utensils?
@Usha, it depends on the degree of soiling. Quick wash is mainly for lightly soiled dishes as the wash temperature is just 45 degC.
@@BhuvanaAdi thanx
Mam shall I open immidetly when it comes to end .or I need to wait for 30 min to open door
Don't open the dishwasher immediately as it will be very hot inside. After 5-10 minutes, open it slightly and leave it slanted.
Give some more time, so that all the water inside drains, and then open the door fully, pulling out the rack one by one.
@@BhuvanaAdi when it comes to end slightly I will open then after 15 m fully open .
@@shilpahegde9180 Yes, after the program ends fully, give a gap of 5-10 minutes and slightly open the door, not fully.
Later after 15-20 minutes or even 30 minutes you can open the door fully.
@@BhuvanaAdi thanks to your patience that u reply for each queries as possible.

What is ur opinion about LG Dishwasher...?
Hi Reshma, LG is a good brand. I have seen LG dishwasher in the showrooms and they look impressive. LG has 3 spray arms which I think is a good feature. Also, the rack height is slightly higher than other brands which I feel is good.
They say it has direct drive, don't get taken in by it. A dishwasher has no rotating part and even the water spray arm rotation happens by the reaction of the water jet spray. Only the water supply pump and drain water pump use motor. These are too small and direct drive has no meaning. Direct drive has meaning only in washing machine which has a rotating drum and where the motor handles the full load.
I found the LG dishwasher priced at least ₹ 10000 more than other brands. If you like it and don't mind the price difference, you could go for it. I have been using LG washing machine, microwave oven since many years and they give trouble free reliable performance. So their dishwashers must be good too. But reasons best known to them, LG is not concentrating on marketing dishwashers in India.
Hope this is useful. Thank you.
Thanks mam for ur advise....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
