Bacon butties?
Hot fresh bread on table with soft spreadable butter beside it
I have retreated to the cooking of bacon on the range
Some folk stampede faster than a nun to a bun when hot buttered crusts are around

What I need to do is use enough plates and mugs to make it worth while to run the wupeen. Only it has to be ones I am sure are wupeen-proof, and so far that is one plate since it arrived yesterday, because I forgot to have supper in all the excitement.

Oh Fishy !
I run mine most days, even though there’s only me , but with mine, I have the option just to use the top rack if I haven’t got very much
Do all the odd glasses hanging around - not precious or engraved stuff . It’s very satisfying to see how they sparkle afterwards
Another thing - I always used to put the wupeen on at night, ditto washeen , but since I have had the solar panels, I have to remember to use the eens during the day

Yes, I had thought of that as an important thing. But thank you for the reminder that if it is to be used today, it ought to be reasonably soon. The new stock-pot is going to be delivered today too. (Black Friday actually has its uses, so long as you don’t go anywhere near a shop.)

The wupeen is working on a load of glasses and plates, with one mug and one bowl, and I have made the discovery that once you have clicked on “start” for a given programme, you cannot then change your mind when you realise it is the wrong one, a “normal” rather than a “rapid” as you had intended. Oh well.
It is so quiet that I can’t hear it, and keep feeling that I have to go and check that nothing has gone wrong.

You are not a bona fide DW owner until you have used it to steam clean your specs and/or the floor at least once…
What make is it? There is usually combination of buttons you press to cancel a cycle - generally two non-adjacent ones to prevent you hitting it accidentally.

It is a Klarstein
and claims to make 49dB of noise; but at the moment it doesn’t seem to be doing so.

Report: on a standard wash, all eight side-plates have come out very clean; out of the six glasses which were in it, three are shiny, two are shiny but wet inside, and one is dirtier than when it went in. The mug with a tea-stain has been de-tea-stained; the bowl in which I ate porridge this morning has fragments of porridge baked onto it.
Modified rapture, in fact.
But if that is 49dB of noise, either I have gone very deaf or I have quite failed to take in what 49dB sounds like.

That tends to happen if there’s something plastic in the load - the water doesn’t evaporate off the way it does with metal or ceramics. Non-stick finishes can give the same problem.
Porridge is a bugger, but if you rinse any obvious remnants off under a cold tap before putting the bowls in the washer it’ll be fine. Still a lot less hassle than doing it all by hand. Dough, ditto.

Just had a look at the manual. Press and hold the START/PAUSE button for three seconds to put it on standby then you can change the programme.
Not sure what to make of this:
Then press the Start/Pause button, the dishwasher begins to start. When you press the Pause button to pause during washing, the program light will stop blinking and the dishwasher will mooing every minute unless you press the Start button to start

Thanks for that advice, Joe. I shall bear it in mind. I had given that bowl a rinse, but clearly not a thorough enough one.
There was no plastic in this wash: they were all either glasses, plates, or a bowl and a mug. I am always wary of plastic in machines; it can so easily warp if it gets too hot, and one has no idea how hot will be too hot for any given dubby.
The noise it makes when it is not happy is very like mooing… When it has finished, on the other hand, it chirps cheerily.
