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?

Throw in a all in one pod, choose auto and done.

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.

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.

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?

Not much any more. Now they want electricity, running water and
bottled cooking gas. Even buying charcoal today has become a problem.
The "Charcoal man" used to come around with his buffalo cart and it
was 2 baht for a basket full - bring your own basket. Now you buy it
all neatly packaged in the market and it costs so much that one only
has barbequed ribs once a month.

But tourists, ah yes, the people here just stand watching in amazement
at the astonishing prices the tourists are willing to pay for very
ordinary items.

Seriously, though, is Thailand 220V 50 cycle or US std 110/60?

As for lions and crocodiles :-) No lions and I believe that crocodiles
catch more people, annually, in Australia than they do in Thailand.
But we do have a certain amount of problems with elephants.

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.
