How to Use the Dishwasher and Sink Disposal at Wander Joshua Tree
Here's everything you need to know!
Welcome to our help center blog, where we’re here to make dishwashing a breeze! In this guide, we’ll show you how to use your dishwasher and sink disposal at Wander Joshua Tree like a pro so you can tick that off from your to-do list.
How to operate the dishwasher
Add in the detergent
To add detergent, follow these simple steps:
Press the button on the dispenser lid to open it and add dishwashing pods to the main wash compartment. You can find extra supplies under the sink, but please let us know if we run out so our crew can bring more.
To close the detergent lid, gently push it until it slides and clicks into place.
If you want to prewash, add detergent to the recessed compartment on the lid.
Important tip: Make sure to use only dishwasher detergent to prevent suds.
Select a cycle and let's start washing
Once you have loaded your dishes, close the door and press the Power button.
Pick the program that suits your load and how dirty it is. Check out the Cycle Guide here for detailed descriptions.
One way is to press the Start button and make sure to close the door within four seconds. If the door is not closed within the four-second time frame, you will notice a white LED flashing with time, an audible tone will be heard, and the cycle will not start.
Another way is by first closing the door and then pressing the Start button. If the door is opened during the cycle, the dishwasher will stop.
Once the dishwasher cycle is complete, you will hear a chime and the display will show "End" until you open the door or press the Power button. To conserve energy, hold down the "High Temp" button for three seconds to automatically turn off the "End" display a few minutes after the cycle ends.
How to use the sink disposal
Start with cold water: Before turning on the sink disposal, run cold water through the sink. This helps keep the disposal cool during operation.
Clear the sink: Make sure the sink is clear of any large food scraps or debris that could cause clogs or damage to the disposal.
Turn on the water: Once the sink is clear, turn on the cold water to a moderate flow.
Start the disposal: With the water running, turn on the sink disposal.
Feed the food scraps: Gradually feed small amounts of food scraps into the disposal. Avoid overloading it with a large quantity of food at once, as this can cause clogs or strain the motor.
Allow the disposal to finish: After you have fed all the food scraps into the disposal, let it run for a few extra seconds to ensure all the waste is properly ground up and flushed away.
Turn off the disposal: Once the disposal has finished grinding the food scraps, turn off the unit. Allow the water to run for a few more seconds to help flush away any remaining waste.
Rinse and clean: After turning off the disposal, continue running the water for a few more seconds to rinse the sink and drain.
Remember to avoid putting non-food items, grease, oil, or fibrous materials (such as celery or corn husks) into the sink disposal, as they can cause clogs or damage to the unit.
