The most useful things you do on any one day.

Truly a first world problem, solved today - at last!

About 2 weeks ago, at around midnight I was getting myself a drink of water and noticed the dishwasher needed switching on. Fumbling around in the dark to set teh program I accidentally set the language to Danish or maybe it was Latvian. DOH! I left it till morning and then searched for the manual, could not find it so I tried playing around some more with the dishwasher controls and somehow manage to set the Child lock to "on". I only knew it was the child lock because a little key appeared on the screen and I could do naught with any controls. By pressing every button half a dozen times I eventually worked out how to temporarily suspend the lock and run the dishwasher, but as soon as the program was done - back to child lock. anyway - at least it worked.

This became a bone on contention between SWMBO and myself - seeing as I set it to Danish or was it Latvian, and still knew how to drive it SWMBO it thus my job to operate it and dishes kept getting stacked beside the sink till I cleared them.

I gave up on finding the manual and eventually downloaded a new manual - 46 pages of fine bloody print ! Always in a hurry I skimmed thru it a few times but could not find how to change the language. This morning I made a coffee and sat down and started going through the manual systematically and eventually found how to change the language and unlock the front panel.

What I reckon we need on some of these devices is "seniors" mode - set it to that and nothing changes. A bit like my mum had on her washing machine, one program - push for on and off - that's it!
