This is a little late; sorry I don't visit this thread very often...I bought a house with a Cielo tub and have been unable to find any information on it whatsoever! To clean the jets, I dilute bleach in a spray bottle and spray the jets thoroughly. I left the bleach sit for maybe 10 mintues and then rinse with the showerhead. I have done this three times in the eight months I've owned the house and it does the trick...the tub is like new again after the bleach treatment, although my house smells like a swimming pool. The first treatment was a bit of a project since the previous owner was...let's just say that housekeeping was not a strength of hers and the tub was disgusting. But since then it's been a breeze. I know most people would think I'm crazy but I would be really happy to get rid of this tub. It's awkward to climb in and out of because of the height, we never use the jets, and it's going to be totally impractical for bathing kids when we have a family. Unfortunately it's surrounded by a tile frame and we'd essentiallly have to tear a lot of the bathroom apart to get rid of it, so I'm stuck for awhile. Hope this helps...good luck!

We have this dishwasher! We actually love it. It replaced one that was a higher end dishwasher that had all the bells and whistles. Forget that! The baskets broke, the tines bent, the up and down turned out to be useless. What my DH wanted was SIMPLE. Lots of room with ultimate flexibility. In other words, just a huge cavernous opening LOL! It has turned out to be a HUGE benefit and fits double what we used to wash. The silverware basket is in the door. That takes some getting used to, but I now find it the best part. No wasted space in the bottom drawer taken up by the basket. The upper cup drawer is simple and fits everything. The price is so good! We paid $612 through Home Everything (free ship/no tax). We got the stainless version. It has the delay button for setting off in the middle of the night and an extra hot setting. Have been totally happy with ours, now 16 months old. I am not sure I would have even been happier with a more expensive one. From Misc photos From Misc photos

Antss....not trying to say anything. I said it. Don't understand why clarification needed. I've said 105F is warm water....probably cooler than you'd use in the sink if you were hand washing. It isn't hot enough for the detergent to do what it's supposed to do in the machine. I would not run ANY DW cycle at such a low temperature. If the machine I own delivered only that, I would regard it as broken. In fact, that's why I just replaced my machine. The relay controlling the heating element failed and there was no capability of heat-boost to an acceptable temperature. (And fixing that 9-year-old machine would have cost too much.) I was left with washing temperature of about 105F, terrible cleaning, and no drying. The OP stated that his hottest wash temperature was 105 which I said was "ridiculous" because it is. If OP's machine is not capable of boosting to at least 120F, I regard that as unacceptable....which is what I said. OP has not responded. I suspect he does, in fact, have a machine that is capable of heating the wash-water above 105 but the heating element is not working properly....but don't know. 120 is the typical "normal" temp dishwashers use. Except for OP's machine, I am aware of none that will not do this in the "normal" cycle. 140-145 is the typical "hot wash" boost, available on many/most machines and gives better cleaning -- of course at the expense of more energy use. 155+ is what DW's typically offer in their "sani-rinse" cycles. Wash temperature is lower than that but the final rinse is boosted way up.

In 2002 I really wanted copper appliances Just how much do you want these? Is it worth a lot of money to you? Copper isn't exactly cheap. But the good news is that it is easy to work with. And most appliances are pretty straight-forward to disassemble. If you are sufficiently determined, you can take apart the front panel of your appliance and have a local metal fabricator replicate it out of copper. In some cases, you can also buy panel-ready appliances that would make this whole exercise a little easier. And in rare instances, you might be able to convince the appliance manufacturer to sell you a copper panel. I believe Bluestar has (or had) a "precious metal" series. I am not sure if it was available for all of their models. But I have seen that they can make copper oven doors. They look gorgeous. And of course, copper sinks are thing. Just head over to Dino Rachiele's website. So yes, if this is your highest priority wish-list item, then it absolutely is something that can be customized. As with most non-standard design choices though, it'll cost you. If you do go this route, you owe us pictures! :-)
