How to Use the Dishwasher and Sink Disposal at Wander Malibu Beach

Here's everything you need to know to make washing your dishes a breeze!

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 Malibu Beach like a pro so you can tick that off from your to-do list.

How to operate the dishwasher

Let’s get your dishwasher up and running! Follow these simple steps:

  1. Press the latch on the detergent dispenser to open it, and add the necessary amount of detergent. Close the flap securely.

  2. To on the dishwasher, open the dishwasher door and press the power button below the “|” symbol.

  3. Pick the program that suits your dish load and how soiled it is. Use the “Program” button to go through the program options. You'll see the indicator light next to the selected program come on.

  4. To begin the selected program and cleaning cycle, simply close the door within four seconds after the last button press. Once the door is closed, the program will kick off and get underway.

  5. When the cycle is finished, you'll hear a friendly buzzer sound. Keep the door closed during this time. Now, you can go ahead and open the door to unload your sparkling-clean dishes. 

  6. After use, make sure to press the off/cancel button, located below the “O” symbol.

Important note: It's generally best to avoid canceling a program unless it's within the first five minutes. Canceling later could skip important stages of the program.

Need to make a quick interruption during a dishwasher cycle? No problem! 

  1. Carefully open the dishwasher door, making sure to open it just enough to expose the control panel. Be cautious of any hot water that may splash out. 

  2. When you’re ready to jump back into the action, wait about 20 seconds for the temperature to settle and then close the door securely to resume.

How to use the sink disposal

  1. 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. 

  2. Turn on the water: Once the sink is clear, turn on the cold water to a moderate flow. 

  3. Start the disposal: With the water running, turn on the sink disposal by pressing the button on the right side of the faucet.

  4. 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. 

  5. 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. 

  6. Turn off the disposal: Once the disposal has finished grinding the food scraps, turn off the unit by once again pressing the button on the right side of the faucet. Allow the water to run for a few more seconds to help flush away any remaining waste. 

  7. 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.
