I spent some time with the scanner this week, 135 pages in all. I'll get some posted through this long weekend, different brands or themes every day.
Let's start with some Waste King brochures. I remember getting Thermador/Waste King books every year at our Home Shows. I thought they were just as nice looking at KitchenAid. Oooooh, and that shiny tank!

Great Scans! Thanks! Fun dishwashers! Hard to load, and a little noisy! Fun and good cleaners non the less. I love your KA Aviator! Is that from an original KA Ad? It think it would be great blown up and framed! Thanks for the scans! Brent | ||

I saved a copy of every scan. While these are earlier models and look different on the outside, the stainless interior and wash system is virtually identical to my '85 Thermador THD 3600, which I truly love. I have the handbook for it, but no glamour shots or design and feature information like these scans contain!
Thanks for posting! Ralph | ||

Kool. I remember using them at other peoples places but I don't think I ever paid much attention to their cleaning ability. Would love to use one now and pay attention to it! | ||

Say "thank you" to the nice man
What a generous thing to do! Of many vintage appliance makers, I grieve the loss of Norris Industries. Those built-in barbecues, those beautiful stainless steel dishwashers, those innovative Thermador cooktops. To paraphrase Margaret Mitchell: "Look for them only in brochures, for they are gone with the wind".

Thanks Greg!! Nice to see this. Those glamour shots (read examples of loading) are more representative of a typical suburban load of dishes back then than the majority dish load with a strategically placed pot or pan to prevent blocking of water to the upper rack of some OTHER premium-market brand. With that one MAIN loading restriction, I found our WK to be far easier in loading than the OTHER premium-market brand which resided across the street and purchased about the same time as our 1968 WK. THIS is the dishwasher which molded my BobLoad legacy!!!!
Looking forward to all the other scans. | ||

Thanks, Greg Neat digs at KA's "SOAK" cycle: scrubs instead of soaking. Loading compromised by the cutout in the lower rack for the tower feed for the upper wash arm; made loading large pots a problem. | ||

Tom is right. I was recently disappointed that my large spaghetti pot wouldn't fit in the lower rack, not even with a flatware basket removed.
I'm willing to forgive, though. The machine does such a great job. This is the first dishwasher I've ever used that doesn't require me to have a dish towel handy for unloading. Everything comes out dry, dry, dry! Also, with both my KDI 21 and Motley Maytag, filling the glass coffee carafe after machine washing meant rinsing it out first. Otherwise the water would get bubbles on the surface from some sort of residue--rinse aid, I presume. Not the case with the Thundering Thermador. The sparkling clean carafe goes directly from the machine to the filtered water dispenser on the fridge for filling and there are no surface bubbles. That level of cleaning power and the beautiful job of drying have caused me to fall in love with the TT and overlook its lower rack limitations. Ralph | ||

Hmmm . . .
Maybe I need to host a wash-in . . . for dishes!
Or we could all scoff at the Affinity too. Sodas and beers on the revolving shelves of the GE Combo that's waiting for me at RCD's. Here's a pic of mine as it was being tweaked for redeployment. Seams around the bottom of the tank are ugly, but water-tight.

I wish I could end tedious hand scouring, forever! I guess that means I need to order the model with the Super Scrub button. | ||

Heated air? Ralph, what is that thing on the middle of the right-side wall of your Thermador? Is that the cover for the forced-air fan? Is the fan located directly behind the opening, or is it somewhere on the bottom, and the air comes up through a duct? | ||

I want to order the SS/911.
Right there with ya Jason. Other than the "obvious" for extending the main wash on the Super Scrub cycle, I wonder what was done to extend the dry cycle on that cycle too. Too bad that extra 26 minutes of that cycle weren't solely for the main wash extension!! On our 1968 model, the cook Ware cycle was simiilar to above, with no heat dry. Too bad it doesn't specify whether thiws happens or not, but on our's the last rinse for the whole cycle pumped water for like 6 or 8 minutes--wonder what the logic behind that was for the engineers who came up with that one--longest spray period of the whole machine and no detergent. Anyway, it was accomplished like this: On the Full Cycle, it had the final Sani-Heat boosted water temp. The machine would fill and then the timer would go through like 5-7 increments with the water being heated. If projected temp wasn't met by that time, then the timer would shut off and the water would be heated until the t-stat wasa satisfied. Then the timer would re-energize and advance to the one-minute spray. Thus, the cook WAre cycle circulated water throughout that whole 5-7 minutes, but no heater being energized to raise the water temp while it ciirculated. The Fine China Cycle simply did only two post-wash rinses and then started the dry cycle during te phase that would be the 3rd rinse/Sani-Heat period. The cycle consisted of 4 minute spray phases for Pre-Wash, rinse, and Main wash. The 3 post-wash rinses were a minute each for each spray period.

Doug, that panel is the fill inlet.
The machine has no forced air. It's the same "humidity free" drying system as illustrated above. You'll also notice in the attached photo from the project that my machine has a heat exchanger on the coil. I believe the exchanger is found on the later models that have the steam cycles. See next post for cycle options.

That's interesting about the heat exchanger. It sounds like Thermador/Waste King was advanced for its time. I like a dishwasher that dries well. And thanks, Greg, for the informative scans! | ||

WASTE KING & THERAMDOR DISHWASHERS
The drying must not have been all that great especially when no heat dry was selected. In the end WK-TD did add fan forced drying the 1988 machine I recycled a few months ago had a blower. My 1987 WP DW dries almost every thing when left overnight with the door closed with no rinse aid and always on the no heat dry setting. I have never liked using rinse-aid in my dishwashers because you end up ingesting the stuff. The bottle of rinse-aid says not to swallow keep out of reach of children, also its an unnecessary expense and just adds to the waste stream with out making your dishes any cleaner.

I think the drying action is influenced some by how packed the dishwasher is. The more hot dishes in there, the better the drying. As stated above, I've had drying results without forced air on my Thermador that have far exceeded the expectations I had formed after years of wiping off cup bottoms with every previous machine I've ever owned or used.
