On reflection maybe I should have gone for a 6h delay (3am start) to push a bit further into lowest grid demand. Unusual start time (just after peak) trying to cover some load with solar, don't want to run a load tomorrow morning when already heading for 30°Cs. Being able to postpone such actions several months until there is abundant energy is effectively a form of interseasonal (demand) storage. There has been little or no coal burn at that time, looking at the stats for the last couple of days.
When running eco washes with half a detergent tablet, it seems that tea/coffee mugs' insides may be retaining a slight brown cast. There is other stuff going on, such the final hour of a small cold wash, and me having a bath which which needs the gas combi boiler to fire up. generation, just had big lunch, machine quite full, so a good time for a 'maintenance' maximum-temperature wash at 70°C with a full tablet and a couple of drops of dish detergent for prewash. After a few forced programme cancels to try to drain the machine, eventually all was well and a normal eco programme was run. Today with the sun out and bright I ran a 70°C 'hygiene' wash for the first time on the Electra, partly as a 'maintenance' wash.The fancy Finish "Powerball Ultimate All in 1" blue part not fully dissolved, but all gone by end of the full cycle. I set a 5h delay, which should start the cycle at ~2am, demanding significant energy soon after, and also at ~3:30am.
pre-wash detergent chamber, not present in the C1745W, and looks a lot like that in the Zanussi ZDS2010. Overall, this dishwasher is a reliable and durable appliance that effectively cleans dishes and operates quietly. The murky water had not drained, and the tablet had not been released, so it was stuck after the prewash phase again.
The installer was seemingly in such a panic to get to the next job that he failed to connect the water feed, and tried to claim that it was not needed. The two demand spikes seem to be ~45 minutes apart (cycle starting ~11:30) rather than over an hour. When setting up an overnight run with the ZDS2010 I would wait until a little before bedtime (~10pm) and select the fixed 3h delay. All element related enquiries are welcome and we are more than happy to help you find your Heating Element either by contacting us or via telephone via 0121 382 2305 (9am - 4pm). Among those options I considered a 'connected' Bosch SPS2IKW04G, in the hope that I would be able to integrate it into energy management for 16WW, but this model did not seem to use usefully controllable in that way, and was just a privacy risk.
Great Deal
