+## Dishwasher
+The dishwasher can be found in the [Snack Kitchen](/rooms/snackkitchen.md). It uses way less water and space than manual cleaning, so please use it for most dishes. 
 
 ### What not to put in
 - Don't put wooden things in the dishwasher! The wood will absorb the hot water, swell and break.
 - Don't put sharp knives in the dishwasher!
 - Don't put fragile glasses in the dishwasher! They will collide and break.
 - Don't put big items in the dishwasher! Pots, pans and bowls are better cleaned by hand as they take up too much space in the machine.
+- Don't put small solid things (like e.g. seeds, pieces of egg shells, coffee beans) in the machine as they can get stuck inside and cause severe errors.
 
 ### How to put things in
 - There are rotating devices inside the dishwasher, which are necessary to evenly distribute the water, which in the end cleans everything. If rotation is blocked, narrow items are placed on the far ends of the cleaning area, or the filter down below is full of dirt, there is no way that cleanliness can be achieved.
+- Try and fit as many items as reasonable to still get them clean.
+- Please sort the cutlery by kind as it makes the emptying super fast.
+
+### How to start it
+- There is a jar with dishwasher detergent poweder right on top of the machine, slightly hidden below the table.
+- Use the spoon inside, put 15ml of detergent in the appropriate space in the dishwasher and close the lid
+- Close the dishwasher.
+- Press 'Ein' and see the lights turn on.
+- Set to highlighted program and press 'Start'.

 ### How to put things out
-- You can either remove the items one by one or take the whole tiers out, carry them to the [kitchen](/rooms/kitchen.md), empty them and put them back.

+### Troubleshooting
+If the dishwasher stops working it might be an issue that you can fix by consulting its [service manual](https://www.manualslib.com/manual/787359/Miele-G-681.html?page=45#manual).
+
+
+## Kitchen sink
+Everything that shouldn't go into the dishwasher can be cleaned in the kitchen sink. 
+
+Try and use as little water and soap as possible while still getting the stuff clean. Here's some tips on that:
+- put a bowl in the sink instead of filling it all with water
+- wash the less dirty things first, while the dirtier ones soak
+- fill the warm, soapy water from one pot into the other to rub them with, then rinse in the end
+
+![drying rack](/images/dryingRack.jpg)
+_We have a big drying rack in the kitchen in which the washed dishes can sit until they're dry._
+
+### Rinse immediately
+To avoid unnecessary and annoying work, please take care to immediately rinse the following items after usage:
+- the citrus press
+- the garlic press
+- the grater
+- the blender
+- the salad centrifuge
+- all sieves
+- all non-greasy, basically clean items
+
+The last point is e.g. about bowls that only held cut veggies during cooking.

 ### Private clothing
 
 If you stay only for a short time or have clothes which you don't want to share, you should not put them in the laundry baskets - chances are high that you won't find you stuff again in a reasonable amount of time. Simply run a machine yourself; it should be adequatly labeled to make it doable. Please make sure that you have enough things to wash, so that the machine is full, or add some Kanthaus pieces.
 
-When drying your private clothing make sure you somehow label them as yours. Otherwise they might end up in the [communal closet](/rooms/communalcloset.md) after all.
