My wife just bought an Electrolux dish washer and it's manual leaves a great deal to be desired. Thus my very off topic questions: It has a salt reservoir for the water softener - how often does one have to re-fill it? How can one tell when it is empty? It has a reservoir for a rinse detergent - how often does one have to fill it? How can one tell when it is empty? The wash and dry programs seem to range from almost 3 hours to about 30 minutes. What program would one initially select for table dishes for a family of two? -- cheers, John B. Throw in a all in one pod, choose auto and done. Lou |

Lou Can't throw it in and choose auto, it doesn't have an "Auto". It has a selection of 4 different programs ranging from 227 minutes to 30 minutes. Plus a separate "Prewash" which takes 14 minutes. -- cheers, John B. My best wishes on outsmarting the thing. in re "14 minutes" at the hypersonic setting: I arrived at girlfriend's yesterday after her relatives had eaten and left. I washed dishes from six people on The Nice China service (incl coffee and desserts) plus cooking and serving vessels in less than 15 minutes with my own two hands. Admittedly I'm a former professional dishwasher but even though that was long ago I don't get the aversion most people show. There are worse jobs. Much worse. I can't say as I have never had a position as a dish washer, but I suspect that it is one thing to waltz in and wash the dishes today and quite a different thing to realize that your dishwashing days are going to last the rest of your life... every single day, morning, noon and night. -- cheers, John B. |

You're sure wrecking my mental imagery of Thailand: You mean the women *don't* march single file (or bike to stay on topic) to the river, clothes and dishes atop their heads to beat and wash the items in the stream, keeping a wary eye out for crocodiles, lions and tourists? Seriously, though, is Thailand 220V 50 cycle or US std 110/60? pH |

Crocs are only a problem if you want to go swimming in the same water they do or you are stupid enough to camp overnight close to the water hole. On a club trip decades ago, a "discussion" about camping near the waterholee was finally settled when on the morning after, fresh croc prints were discovered 50 yards from the waterhole in a direct line to where our tens had been that night. Since the print spacing were broader than any one shoulder, the point was never argued again. Crocs(no swimming) and mosquitoes are the two major reasons to not go touring in Northern Australia. |

Righto, plus a lot of people don't realize just how fast a croc can run too. Cheers |
