| 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 |
