Bedienung

Das bedienen das Maschine ist wirklich kinderleicht. Die Spülmaschine verfügt über 5 Spülprogramme, die über einen Drehknopf einzustellen sind. Zudem kann man über einen Druckknopf die Startzeit verzögern, so dass die Spülmaschine 3 Stunden später anfängt (als beispiel). Dann gibt es die obligatorischen Kontrollampen, die einem sagen was sie gerade tut. Benutzt man 3in1 Tabs (oder höher) leuchtet im nichtlaufenden Zustand das Kontrolllampe für das Salz auf. Welches erlischt sobald die Maschine läuft oder aus ist. Da man dies ja nicht benötigt.

Dann gibt es die Kontrolllampen für die Reinigung, Trocknung und das Ende.
Während die Spülmaschine läuft kann man sie trotzdem öffnen. Muss man das tun, so hört die Spülmaschine sofort auf Wasser einzuspeißen oder abzupumpen. Schließt man die Tür wieder, geht der Programmablauf nach wenigen Sekunden weiter.

Das ***Ablaufsieb*** oder auch der Filer (alles in einem) sollte regelmäßig gereinigt werden, da sich hier Essensrest ansammeln können.

Explanation:
Ich kann keine Übersetzung anbieten - aber ich möchte dennoch einen Hinweis geben: Der Ursprungstext enthält einige Fehler...

So z.B. :

Das ***Ablaufsieb*** oder auch der Filer (alles in einem) sollte regelmäßig gereinigt werden, da sich hier Essensrest ansammeln können.

..... oder auch der *FilTer* ..... da sich hier *Essensreste*

Das nur als Hinweis für die weitere Bearbeitung des Textes.

Fine strainer/bottom strainer


Explanation:
There are often two different filters in the bottom of a dishwasher - there is a flat metal mesh strainer into which a cylindrical filter (coarse/cone/basket filter) is set. As a filter is additionally referred to in your text (incorrect spelling "Filer), the Ablaufsieb may be the fine or mesh strainer. If you have pictures, you could compare them to the manual of a UK/US manufacturer to see which filter/strainer is being referred to.

Example sentence(s):
  • Removing the bottom strainer in an Inglis dishwasher requires some disassembly of the dishwasher.
  • On some dishwashers, the strainer is a plastic or metal component consisting of two semicircular halves. To remove this type of strainer, pry it up. On other dishwashers, the strainer is a one-piece component. To remove this type, remove the cap that hold
