...does anyone here own/use a Brandt Kleenmaid dishwasher?

We have one installed in our new rental that we're moving to tomorrow, but the landlord does not appear to have left an instruction manual at the property and we can't work out how to use it. We haven't asked the agents yet because we only found out we didn't know what to do with it after business hours today.

The exact problem is that we aren't sure where to stick the detergent or whether we can use dishwashing tablets or have to use dishwashing liquid. There is a small, circular recess on the door - presumably for salt - and another reservoir that pulls out located centrally under the upper basket, and this has a bottle symbol on it. What is supposed to go in it is anyone's guess.

If anyone has this make/model, or knows how to use the damned thing, can you tell me please? We'll try the agents in the morning but I'm not sure that's going to be any help. Our landlord is apparently uncontactable at present... Please supply a graphic answer!! Dh and I have very little experience of dishwashers!

Where's your sense of adventure just get a small bottle of Fairy Liquid, leave the top off and pop it in with the dishes, what's the worst that could happen :scared:

By the way how are the pets doing now? Out of quarantine I assume

Worn a bit thin of late, Paul - too much time spent stressing over rentals... It's been a long haul one way and another.

The mind boggles....

Yes, the poor buggers came out of quarantine and went straight into another boarding kennel. We fully expected to find a rental without too much hassle but it was a nightmare - when we said the word *pets*, the agents switched off. Still, we're sorted now. We collect them on Saturday!!! Mind - had a scare today. We went to sign our lease and got to the *pets* page only to find they had stipulated that they must be outdoor pets. My heart sank. We pointed out that we'd cleared it with the landlord, and the agent went off to phone him to confirm, but couldn't get through. So he had words with the property manager and came back with a thumbs up. He passed on a message from the property manager - "make sure the dog's in the garden when I come to inspect, and I won't know differently".

Hope all is well with you and yours.
