20090038644 | Washing Programme for a Dishwasher Having a Shorter Cycle With a Constant Cleaning Efficiency - A method for cleaning items to be washed in a dishwasher operational using at least one first predetermined wash program sequence including an intensive, low-temperature, automatic or standard program, using a specific mechanical and/or thermal soiling removal energy to achieve a specific cleaning and/or drying result, for carrying out such program steps as pre-rinse, cleaning, intermediate rinse, final rinse and drying, with the predetermined wash program being configured for substantially minimizing the quantity of water and energy used, the method including the steps of applying at least one second predetermined wash program sequence including a rapid intensive, rapid low-temperature, rapid automatic or rapid standard program, using substantially similar mechanical and/or thermal soiling removal energy as first wash program sequence to achieve the substantially similar specific cleaning and/or drying result as first wash program sequence, with second program sequence occurring in less time than first wash program sequence. | 02-12-2009 |
20100236575 | METHOD FOR THE DRYING TIME CONTROL IN DISHWASHERS - A dishwasher and a method for controlling a drying time in the dishwasher. The dishwasher may comprise a washing compartment for receiving items to be washed, wherein the items to be washed are heated to a defined initial temperature which is above the temperature of a condensation surface communicating with the washing compartment. The method of the invention may include detecting a temperature gradient of a characteristic temperature during the drying of the items to be cleaned, and using the temperature gradient of the characteristic temperature to detect a property that is characteristic of the degree of evaporation of water on the surface of the items to be cleaned. | 09-23-2010 |
20100258145 | METHOD FOR DETECTING A LOAD-RELATED CHANGE IN THERMAL CAPACITY OF A WATER-BEARING DOMESTIC APPLIANCE - A water-bearing appliance, such as a dishwasher, and a method for detecting the load-related change in thermal capacity of the water-bearing domestic appliance, in order to optimize the drying process. In an exemplary embodiment, the method includes detecting a temperature gradient during the cooling of the items to be cleaned. | 10-14-2010 |
20110048472 | DISHWASHER - A dishwasher having a washing container to accommodate dishes to be washed; a hot-water intake to supply the washing container with hot water from an external hot water supply; a storage container in thermally conductive contact with the washing container; and a cold-water intake fitting to supply the storage container with cold water from an external cold-water intake fitting. | 03-03-2011 |
20110265827 | DISHWASHER WITH IMPROVED CLEANING EFFECT - A dishwasher, wherein a duct system has a function describing a pressure difference in dependence on the rotational speed of the circulating pump and having a lower rotational speed range in which the pressure difference changes at most in proportion to the rotational speed of the circulating pump and an upper rotational speed range in which the pressure difference changes more than in proportion to the rotational speed of the circulating pump; and wherein the control device has a first rinsing program in which the circulating pump is operated at a normal cleaning rotational speed for normal cleaning of the rinsing stock and a second rinsing program in which the circulating pump is operated at an intensive cleaning rotational speed higher than the normal cleaning rotational speed and lying in the upper rotational speed range for intensive cleaning of the rinsing stock. | 11-03-2011 |
20120125373 | DISHWASHER HAVING TWO WATER CONNECTIONS AND CONTROL METHOD - A dishwasher includes a hot water inlet device for intake of hot water from an external hot water supply and a cold water inlet device for intake of cold water from an external cold water supply. A program control device controls a wash cycle of a selected dishwashing program for cleaning wash items. The program control device is constructed to operate in at least one of first and second operating modes, wherein the first operating mode includes activation of one wash program which, in at least one partial wash cycle of a wash cycle, draws hot water from the external hot water supply, and wherein the second operating mode includes activation of another wash program which, in at least one partial wash cycle of a wash cycle, exclusively draws cold water from the external cold water supply. | 05-24-2012 |
20120241394 | INSERT FOR A DISH BASKET FOR AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER - An insert having insert compartments separated from one another by separating walls with at least two insert compartments provided with compartment floors, arranged in different heights, for loading different silverware pieces and/or small dishes. The silverware pieces and/or the small dishes may, depending on their respective length/size/shape, be loaded into the insert compartment having the corresponding compartment floor positioned in a suitable height, so that they stand on the compartment floor and are no longer required to be hung. | 09-27-2012 |
