i just downloaded a manual (incidentally the company slogan is in COMIC SANS): the sun thing is a rinse aid indicator

nothing says 'rinse aid' like a sun

What is the S w/ bendy arrows?

otm. appliances that expect you to work around their lazy design choices are the worst.

the dishwasher in this place has four washing modes (1, 2, 3, 4), but they're not increasing in time or rigour, they're just arbitrary numbers, e.g. 2 is eco wash and 3 is pots or something. it's also got a load of indicator lights that mean the following:

- a broom sort of thing: the cycle hasn't started yet
- an arrow pointing to a line: the cycle has finished
- a sun: we have no idea what that means
- a big S made of bendy arrows: again, absolutely no idea

meanwhile the rest of the universe can make a dishwasher that isn't baffling. idgi.

My dishwasher has a "Normal Wash" and "Speed Wash" setting. The speed wash takes half the time. Why the fuck is there a normal wash setting if it can clean the dishes in half the time? Unless the speed wash is half-assed, in which case, why have it?

ikr? bizarre

What is the S w/ bendy arrows?

a salt indicator, apparently

i don't even know what salt is doing near a dishwasher

"time to salt the dishes, luv"

xp
Hardness of the water maybe?

And speed wash is probably for recently used/not very dirty dishes where normal is for dried-on food/extra greasy dishes.

it's for washing yr meth

As in, add salt to your water softener.

ah right

AA's dishwasher is cracking me up.

I'm surprised it doesn't have a diesel indicator lol

it has an on/off button

so its available states are:

- washing
- not washing
- not washing and also switched off

the only difference between on and off is that the broom light lights up

and watch out for salt

on that, i don't know whether the salt light means there is salt or there isn't salt

or too much salt, or a salt accident

Mine has a "normal" button. Wouldn't it be great if everything had one of those? ACK!

the only difference between on and off is that the broom light lights up

lolol

AA honestly I really can't imagine you with any other kind of dishwasher

bahahaha

it's rusty because we're in a rental. the glob of snot is actually blu-tack, to remind 'er indoors which inscrutable light means 'finished'

I see Play and Pause, where is Record?

That dishwasher heavily implies that you can record shit off of it

XP!!!!!!

mr veg said it looks like an Apple OS dishwasher

it's making me laugh

loool the broom

but this dishwasher goes to 4!

That's a rake, not a broom.

I think it rakes up all the broken dish pieces at the bottom of the dishwasher

That's not even a rake, it's one of those things you see kept on the side of a sandtrap.

God, Susie Oatmeal was so hot in 7th grade.

My car has this light on the dashboard:

Who can guess what it's indicating?

insufficient tyre pressure

^^ I know this only because I've had to look it up.

you ppl with your 'dishwashers'

Second only to air-conditioning. I lived like a caveman for 28 years, apparently.

I saw it on the test drive, and when I asked the dealer he said something like, "Why would anyone assume that that's supposed to be a tire pressure warning?"

It also comes on all the time, regardless of whether or not I reset it, so I've gotten used to ignoring it. I'll know a tire is low when it's flat.
