What is the Airdry function in a dishwasher?

Modern dishwashers boast an impressive array of additional features, especially noticeable when examining the control panels. All these complex phrases, often in foreign languages, can leave even technicians scratching their heads, let alone homemakers. Moreover, all these special features usually significantly increase the price of the dishwasher, and users are often unaware of them. Today, we'll explore the Airdry feature in dishwashers, how it works, and what other additional features are available in modern appliances.

Appointment of Airdry in PMM

There are many additional features whose purpose many homeowners don't understand, and they don't really benefit from, as the machine already works perfectly. However, this doesn't apply to Airdry technology, which significantly simplifies and improves dishwasher use. How? Let's look at an example. While owners save time and effort on washing dishes, they still complain about the following shortcomings:

• After the dishwasher has finished drying, water residue often remains on the dishes when the containers are heavily loaded, as well as streaks from the evaporation of the liquid;
• Immediately after finishing work, if you open the machine door, a powerful stream of steam hits your face.

To address these two annoying issues, Electrolux developed the Airdry feature. It automatically opens the dishwasher door 10 centimeters immediately after finishing its cycle. Thanks to this gap, air can circulate freely, all the dishes finish drying naturally, and steam no longer hits your face.

The dishwasher system is programmed to open the door automatically after 10-30 minutes, depending on the specific model of the machine.

Thanks to this innovation, streaks and water stains on plates and glasses no longer haunt housewives. The company's engineers completely redesigned the door so it opens automatically after the cycle is complete. A sliding hinge system called Perfect Fit was added. These hinges allow the door to slide freely when opening, avoiding contact with the floor and maintaining a precise position.

In summary, the Airdry feature in your dishwasher makes your life easier in the following ways:

• there are no more streaks or drops of water left on any dishes;
• condensation does not accumulate in the dishwasher compartment, which means that harmful bacteria do not multiply;
• When opening the machine door, a stream of steam no longer hits your face;
• Built-in models allow you to maintain the attractive appearance of your kitchen countertop even after 3,000 cycles of use;
• the ability to adjust the door height using Perfect Fit technology.

In addition to the above, the entire range of Electrolux dishwashers comes with a special film that protects the front of the kitchen cabinet. This ensures the safety of your kitchen countertop and the ability to truly forget about washing dishes.

Useful additions to modern dishwashers

However, the Airdry feature in a dishwasher is just the beginning. If you compare dishwashers from the last century with those from this one, it becomes obvious just how many sophisticated features new models have. Some of them seem useless or simply insignificant, but once you understand them, you won't be able to imagine life without them.

For example, sensor systems that completely monitor the cleanliness and quantity of dishes are available. They are called the Sensor System and AquaSensor. Immediately after the first rinse, the sensor determines the water quality. If the water is clear, it is passed through internal filters and reused, and if it is dirty, it is flushed down the drain. This reduces water consumption by 25% during dishwashing. If the machine's hopper is only half full, an economy mode is activated.

Using the OptoSensor feature, the dishwasher checks the condition of the heating element, whether it's limescale-covered and how much, and automatically adds softening agents to the water if necessary. This procedure extends the lifespan of the heating element by 50%. Perfect GlassCare technology works similarly, but with it, the dishwasher checks the cleaning quality, the amount of limescale, and the amount of salt deposits on the washed dishes.

The Dual Wash function allows you to wash delicate glassware and heavy cast iron pans simultaneously. Just be sure to load the hopper in the correct order: place delicate items in the top containers, and place the pans at the very bottom. The highest jet pressure and temperature are found at the bottom, ensuring they'll be washed clean.

The Easy-lock feature helps you close the machine door tightly. A tight seal is automatically maintained even if the door is slightly open. Rackmatic technology adjusts the height and extension of the containers, making loading and unloading easier.

The WaterSafe+ safety feature will lock the appliance if the circuit is depressurized, such as by a leaky hose or a torn seal. VarioSpeed ​​Plus reduces runtime by more than half, but will increase water and energy consumption. The Aqua Steam option effectively removes burnt-on food from pans and pots with jets of steam.

Finally, most modern machines are equipped with a timer, an automatic child lock, and variable pump speeds that regulate the nozzle pressure and water flow. A low jet softens dirt on dishes, while a high jet thoroughly cleans. A lower jet softens dirt, while a higher jet removes it.
