Emily, question about your dishwasher

[takncarabizniz]

Do you use the drying feature?
 
Do you have any issues w/ the steam vent against your cabinets?  We haven't had enough dishes to run a load yet, but I did the quick rinse to try it (yes it's so quiet) and it's still wet inside today...with our old unit, we didn't use the drying feature but by the time we unloaded the next morning, the dishes were mostly dry, except for some water sitting on the glass bottoms...
Our new one has that side vent and is very close to a cabinet drawer.

Yes takn, I do use the drying.  If you just hit "Start" and nothing else, it comes up as a "normal" wash which includes heated dry - so I haven't experimented with any of the other cycles - I just let it do it's thing.  It really takes a long time however - far longer than our old dishwasher but I really love how crystal clear the glasses come out and maybe it's just my imagination but everything looks so much cleaner.   The installer told me to never let the rinse aid run out because that is what gives the finish to the dishes.   Also he told me to use the "Finish" Quantum tabs, which I already had, because they get the best results.  He showed me how to remove the filters too - every so often, to rinse them out.  I actually did it just to see how easy they were to come out and it took me a little while to figure it out.

Thanks.  Yeah I'll have to get used to cleaning the filters.  I've never used a rinse aid before, ever...I wonder how much better the dishes will look now...
