Hob and oven: how are we going to clean it all?

The work of a home cook is closely related to both dirt and cleanliness. Peeling one potato or fish is worth something! And what about heat treatment, when substances acquire a new state at high temperatures: products can burn, turning into an indelible crust, fat becomes sticky and viscous, even water leaves unaesthetic stains.But engineers and chemists do not leave housewives alone with these problems, they are trying to make household work easier and keep each new stove in its original form.

Tumble dryers: in a cramped tank there will be no wet place

Housewives are well aware of the problems of drying: as soon as you hang the sheets on the balcony, it will rain, a bird will fly by or a truck will pass and accumulate smoke. It is also not easy to dry in the bathroom, especially in spring and autumn, while the heating is not working in the house. Things can "dry" for several days. And with a dryer, everything is much easier. Let's count. In an emergency, you can use a short wash in 30 minutes, drying will last the same amount - so, in just an hour, the thing is “in service” again!

The vacuum cleaner is a collective creature...

A vacuum cleaner is a collective creature... For such an answer, the student, most likely, got a deuce. And in vain: although, of course, he didn’t hear a word from the teacher’s explanation, he applied the concept of “collect” much more accurately than the learned uncles and aunts. After all, in fact, the idea of ​​​​a vacuum cleaner was born at the moment when the English engineer Hubert Bus, watching the futile attempts of a worker to clean a car with an air flow, guessed to collect the downed dirt so that it would not settle again on the cleaned surface, into a closed container.

Microwave ovens: myths drowned in microwaves

Looking once again at the orderly rows of microwaves, I caught myself thinking that for me it’s not even a question of “want or not want”. The firm belief that I did not need it came from nowhere, and the functions, buttons and displays did not even interest me. After some thought, it became clear that the stereotypes that have developed over the years are operating in me, a kind of myths that created the rejection of such stoves ...

General requirements and unconditional advantages

Regardless of the size of your kitchen, Siemens always has the right solution. Built-in compact dishwashers will not take up extra space and will not spoil the design of the room. There are a few other benefits right away:

• economical water consumption (relevant if meters are installed in the apartment);
• it is heated to the desired temperature directly in the dishwasher;
• saving electricity consumption;
• the ability to wash not only plates and cups, but also pots, baking sheets, individual parts of air cleaners, refrigerators and hobs;
• the Siemens dishwasher runs almost silently, so the entire dishwashing process can be left overnight (delay start function);
• washed dishes are dried immediately after washing;
• a water temperature of 50-70 degrees allows you to wash any pollution qualitatively (washing by hand will work only at 45 degrees).

By purchasing a built-in dishwasher, a woman frees up a lot of time that she can devote to communicating with her household. Psychological comfort in the family, in this case, should not be underestimated. However, it's time to move on to a substantive review, walking through the range of economical and functional Siemens dishwashers.

Pros and cons of the model

The long period of operation of the SR64E003RU model allows us to evaluate its quality from the point of view of consumers. Positive reviews prevail, although there are also negative points.

The quality of the German assembly leaves no doubt about the impeccability of its production. There is no backlash of the regulators, “sticking” of the buttons, the panel does not creak, the rotation of the rocker arms is uniform, the door “walks” clearly, there are no jamming of the latches or wheels of the upper box. Competing models of Chinese assembly, users often encounter significant flaws.

The noise level of the car for this class is average, closer to low. The inverter motor makes it even, so the operation of the machine at night or during daytime sleep does not interfere with users. Many competing models are noisier: for example, the Bosch SPV 40E10 produces 52 dB.

Adjusting the strength of the sound indication allows you to set it both to the maximum volume so as not to miss the end of the wash, and to the minimum so that the machine does not wake the person at night

The mechanical anti-opening system will ensure the safety of small children when the dishwasher is running.

Identified negative points during operation

The lack of a drying mode does not allow you to completely remove moisture when individual drops remain on the dishes. The machine usually dries cutlery and plates well, but not always cups, glasses and deep bowls.

Many users note that compared to competitors, Siemens SR64E003RU does not dry dishes well. Coupled with the lack of a separate drying mode, this creates some inconvenience.

Model set is minimal.There are no specific baskets or holders, as many competitors have.

There is no laser dot (beam) that indicates the end of the work.

There is one feature of sound indication - in economy mode, the signal occurs both after washing and after drying, and in all others - only after the work is completed. This creates confusion.

The lack of an intensive wash mode with a temperature of 70 degrees, such as the Hotpoint-Ariston LSTF 9M117C model, does not allow you to wash dried grease and other complex contaminants well.

Top Models

Dishwasher Siemens SR64M001RU 45 cm, which should be noted separately, holds up to 9 sets of dishes, has a self-cleaning filter, a modern inverter motor with extremely quiet operation, and guaranteed protection against leaks. The Siemens SR64M001RU 45 cm machine is innovation and quality that together give rise to a wonderful and useful product.

Siemens dishwashers SR24E202RU, SR64E005RU, SR65M081RU, combining a variety of useful functions and various positive qualities, deserve no less attention than all the others, as they have advantages unique to Siemens. You can read reviews about them.

What to look for when buying

As mentioned earlier, there are a lot of dishwashers even of the same Siemens brand, and we have presented to your attention only some (in our opinion, the best) of them.

In the following list, we present a list of features that you should pay attention to in order to make a successful purchase:

• Machine type.In addition to built-in machines, there are also freestanding or desktop machines. Decide what suits you best, read the reviews;
• Dimensions. Mini dishwashers save space, but you still need to figure out which of the minimum sizes will fit optimally in your kitchen;
• The level of energy consumption;
• Functional characteristics. Different machines have different feature sets. The turbo-drying function, a convenient modern control panel, you have to pay for all this, but if you are sure that the usual standard set is enough for you, which does a good wash, but does not dry well, you can save money here. In any case, Siemens dishwashers do everything well and efficiently.

Manual for Siemens SR64E003RU

The Siemens SR64E003RU dishwasher has extremely simple controls. But before that, you need to install it correctly. Since this is a built-in model, it is mounted in kitchen sets. Water must be supplied to it and drained into the sewer. The easiest way to organize a power connection is to connect the dishwasher to the nearest outlet. If there is no outlet nearby, it must be installed by adding an RCD circuit breaker to it.

Connection to the water supply is carried out by means of a tee with a ball valve, which is built into the nearest pipe. In some cases, it is recommended to connect through a collector, which distributes the water flow to several consumers at once - taps, filters and household appliances. If the dishwasher is the last consumer on the water pipe, it is enough to install a ball valve at the connection point.

The Siemens SR64E003RU dishwasher is connected to the sewer through an “oblique” tee or through a special siphon with a pipe. The last option is the most preferable, as it solves the problem with the siphon effect and the penetration of odors into the dishwasher. In the first case, it will be necessary to make an additional bend and install a special anti-siphon valve.

To start the Siemens SR64E003RU built-in dishwasher, follow these steps:

• Load the powder into the appropriate compartment or place a tablet there;
• Fill the compartment with salt until it is full;
• Measure the level of water hardness and drive this data into the machine;
• Open the ball valve;
• Turn on the dishwasher using the "On / Off" button;
• Select a program using the "" buttons (if not selected, the latest program will start);
• If necessary, set the timer from 3 to 9 hours with the corresponding button;
• Press the start button and close the door.

The Siemens SR64E003RU dishwasher will start its duties immediately or after a specified period of time.

If you do not understand any points in the operation of the dishwasher, use the instructions included in the kit. It is as detailed as possible and written in quite "human" language.

Similar competitor models

The main guideline for choosing equipment is still not the cost, but the dimensions and method of installation. After all, models are selected for location in a specific kitchen and for a family that is not at all abstract. We will analyze the options for dishwashers that can compete with the unit disassembled in the article, taking into account the specified criteria.

Competitor #1 - Electrolux ESL 94320 LA

A narrow unit that is fully integrated into kitchen furniture works somewhat more economically in terms of energy than the “hero” of the article. During washing of 9 sets, it consumes only 0.7 kW per hour. It uses more water - 10 liters, it makes a little more noise, according to measurements by 49 dB.

Controlled by Electrolux ESL 94320 LA push-button electronics, there is a panel with LED indicators for monitoring operating data. Using the timer, you can postpone the start of the wash for 3 ... 6 hours. Unlike the machine shown in the article, this model does not have a half load function. But there is a device that determines the degree of purity of water, automatic shutdown and drying of the extra format.

Minus: there is no blocking system to prevent children from interfering in the process of programming and operating the device.

Competitor #2 - Bosch SPV25CX01R

An interesting option for those who are looking for a compact fully built-in dishwasher. The model from the German brand is equipped with an inverter motor, which provides quiet operation (46 dB) and economical electricity consumption.

The price for Bosch SPV25CX01R starts from 20 thousand rubles. For this cost, the buyer receives a multifunctional kitchen assistant. The unit has 5 washing programs, including the VarioSpeed ​​express cycle and the gentle treatment of glassware. There is a child lock, indicators for the presence of rinse aid / salt, a sound signal.

Users are pleased with the ease of loading, washing quality, capacity, easy installation and ease of operation. Identified shortcomings: does not always wash burnt food residues, lack of a timer.

Competitor #3 - Midea MID45S100

The model attracts with the price, the lowest of the units given as an example, and the economical consumption of resources.To wash 9 sets of dishes, she needs 9 liters of water and only 0.69 kW of energy per hour of work. It will sound at 49 dB.

Midea MID45S100 has 5 working programs. The unit processes dishes with a half-loaded tank, if necessary, performs extra drying. Operated by push-button electronics, for tracking data on the work is equipped with a panel with LED indicators. Equipped with a timer that allows you to postpone the launch for a period of 3 ... 9 hours.

Almost traditionally, built-in narrow-type dishwashers do not have protection against the younger generation.

Advantages and disadvantages

Now I want to highlight the range of general advantages and disadvantages that you can expect when buying a Siemens dishwasher.

I think the pros can be grouped as follows:

• I must say right away that the installation of the device will not cause any problems. Moreover, you will not be limited in the choice of furniture profile, for example, a kitchen set without handles. The device will open with one click;
• all narrow dishwashers of the brand are equipped with innovative functionality and this is not an empty phrase. I'll go into more detail on this below;
• I want to say a few words about ergonomics. Firstly, the manufacturer offers special boxes that can be used if more space is required for glasses. Additional holders add convenience. It is easy to place not only glasses in the chamber, but also large kitchen utensils, pots, dishes, not to mention simple plates. In this matter, you will not encounter any problems - the interior space is modeled extremely simply. All elements that you can fold or move are highlighted in color;
• Siemens dishwashers give excellent washing and drying results.By the way, even condensation drying is much more efficient than in similar machines. The Germans used a special natural mineral that quickly absorbs moisture and converts it into thermal energy;
• in this case, you can count on true German build quality;
• completing the circle of advantages, I will say that the brand's devices are quite economical in operation.

If we talk about the minuses, then the main ones can be considered a rather high cost, I could not find other defects, no matter how hard I tried.

Final stage of work

Now we just have to connect the power cord to the outlet and put the dishwasher in place. Keep in mind that you can only connect the dishwasher to a separate moisture-resistant outlet. Do not connect the device through a tee, extension cord or adapter.It will be great if you bring out a copper wire with a cross section of at least 2 mm for the outlet, in good insulation, install a difavtomat and a voltage stabilizer.

After connecting the power cord to the outlet, test run the Siemens dishwasher, in strict accordance with the instructions, without loading dirty dishes into the appliance. After completing the test program, if the Siemens dishwasher does not give errors, then you can start using it.

Summing up, we note that installing a Siemens dishwasher with your own hands is not much more difficult than installing any other dishwasher. The main thing is to remember and take into account the nuances described in this text, and everything will turn out as it should!
