Description

PDF

This simple indicator sign attaches to the face of the dishwasher magnetically and shows whether the contents are unwashed, or washing/washed. It is “international” because it uses symbols instead of words to show status.

The sign is in three colors using filament switching.

Additional Parts Required :

One of the following disk magnets is required :

  • ½" diameter x 1/8" thick
  • 12mm diameter by 3mm thick

Please note that I do not have the metric size magnets for testing, but I believe they should fit OK.

Symbols, Assembly, Use :

This face shows that the dishes are washed/washing (a symbol of a dish being sprayed with water):

 

This face shows unwashed dishes ( a smelly dish) :

 

The sign is printed flat, and then folds into a triangular shape. Before folding, a magnet is inserted into the cup shaped holder.

For final assembly, fold the two outer sections over the magnet, and press the “teeth” together firmly so that they lock together; press only on the edge with the teeth, not on the face of the sign.

To use, simply attach magnetically to the face of the dishwasher (see photos), and rotate so that the appropriate face is upward.
