A leisurely evening. Brought to you by the Siemens hiDefinition® dishwasher.
Sometimes it’s okay being stuck in the kitchen cooking and cleaning during the dinner party. For instance, when it involves your in-laws. Other times, you want to make sure that even when you are stuck in the kitchen, you don’t want to miss a moment of the conversation. For instance, when it involves your old crew from college. For those parties, you’ll be glad you have the Siemens hiDefinition® dishwasher (SL85A705UC Stainless Steel, SL65A703UC Custom Panel).
For starters, the Siemens hiDefinition® dishwasher is a barely audible 48 dBA. That’s a little quieter than moderate rainfall. In fact, if you want to hear the dishwasher running during the wash cycle, you have to really concentrate. It’s so quiet, in fact, we created activeLight™, a red LCD wash status indicator that shines light on the floor to let you know your very quiet dishwasher is still running.
But don’t worry about that right now. If you want to move the party into the living room, you can just do the dishes in the morning. No problem. Even if you let the dishes sit overnight while the alfredo sauch hardens, the Siemens hiDefinition® dishwasher is up for the challenge.
The first step in the sanitizing process is the flow-through water heater. Most dishwashers use a heating element that sits in a tub, which heats water as it passes over. Only the water that passes over it or near it gets heated. Not a very efficient way to heat water. And more importantly, the water isn’t heated to the proper temperature when the wash cycle begins. Siemens uses a better technology. The Siemens dishwasher uses a flow-through water heater. As the name implies, water flows through the heater. It heats all the water, not just some, to sanitizing temperatures. The water is at the proper temperature from the very beginning of the wash cycle. These sanitizing temperatures are hot enough to break down even food that’s dried onto dishes that have been sitting out all night.
The triStep® self-cleaning filtration system is another important part of the Siemens wash system. It continually removes food particles from the wash water, keeping the water clear. The efficiency of the hot water is maximized as it breaks the food down into smaller and smaller pieces.
As the pieces become microscopic particles, the Siemens soil sensor scans the water for tiny particulates. If there are too many, a rinse cycle is added so that the microscopic food particles don’t settle and become dried on your dazzlingly clean dishes.
So you now have a dishwasher full of newly washed and sanitized dishes. What’s the best way to dry them? Siemens engineers thought that was an important question. The typical dish-drying method was unacceptable. The way other manufacturers dry dishes is by sucking up dirty, microbe-infected air from the kitchen floor and blowing it all over your wet, clean dishes. That defeats the purpose. We would rather eat off the floor, and that’s something we haven’t done since college.
In any case, Siemens engineers solved the problem by creating an ingenious closed drying system. During the wash cycle, the super-hot wash water heats the stainless steel walls of the wash chamber. Then, during the dry cycle, that stored heat in the walls causes the moisture on the dishes to evaporate and condense, and the condensation runs down the smooth stainless steel walls.
It’s an inventive system that gives you spot-free dishes that are also 99.9% bacteria free, as certified by the National Sanitation Foundation.
In the end, it’s a system that gives you the freedom to enjoy each minute of each dinner party. Which of course is the goal of every Siemens hiDefinition® dishwasher. |
