Abstract: A lifting device for a holder for items to be washed of a water-bearing domestic appliance includes a driving apparatus configured to generate a supporting force to assist a manual movement of the holder into a washing container of the water-bearing domestic appliance as the holder is lowered and to generate a supporting force to assist a manual movement of the holder out of the washing container as the holder is raised. The driving apparatus is activated by a control apparatus so as to generate the supporting force during the manual movement of the holder.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a washing chamber exposed to liquid during washing operation and enclosed by a plurality of walls of a washing container and by an internal wall of a door. At least one of the walls has at least one aperture which is covered or closed by at least one illumination element. The at least one illumination element includes at least one planar lighting element and at least one transparent, translucent or reflective planar element associated to the planar lighting element.

Abstract: A household appliance includes a loading level, and a receiving area for receiving the loading level. A guide device guides the loading level when the loading level is selectively displaced into or out of the receiving area along the guide device. Secured to the guide device is a retraction device for automatically displacing the loading level into the receiving area.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a washing container having a plurality of walls and enclosing a washing chamber. At least one of the walls of the washing container has at least two apertures which are covered by planar lighting elements, respectively. The apertures are separated from one another by a reinforcing member, with the planar lighting elements having a total surface area that equals at least 20% of a wall surface area of the at least one wall.

Abstract: A washware carrier for the accommodation of washware to be washed in dishwasher includes a base portion, and a multiplicity of retainers for the washware. The retainers are arranged, in a row, with a first plurality of retainers being fixed and a second plurality of retainers configured for swing action. The first and second pluralities of retainers are arranged in a random sequence.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a washing compartment, at least one dishware container, and a guide assembly to allow the dishware container to be moved out of the washing compartment and into the washing compartment. The movement of the dishware container in relation to the washing compartment is cushioned by at least one damping device which is arranged inside the washing compartment.

Abstract: A built-in domestic appliance is provided that has a length-adjustable spacer sleeve to fasten the built-in domestic appliance to a wall with a fastening screw. The length-adjustable spacer has a first sleeve part mounted on the built-in domestic appliance and a second sleeve part that is telescopically adjustable relative to the first sleeve part and that is adjustable, in length, along an axis with respect to the first sleeve part until the second sleeve part is in contact with the wall. The built-in domestic appliance also includes a rotational securing assembly that limits rotational movement of the second sleeve part about the axis.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a wash container, in which a rack for holding items to be washed and/or dried is disposed. At least two lateral guide rails are disposed in the wash container for supporting the rack and allowing the rack to be pulled out of the wash container. Each guide rail includes a guide element disposed in a guide path of the guide rail in a longitudinally movable manner. Provided on the guide rail is a stop which limits a longitudinal movement of the guide element along the guide rail. The stop projects in a first position into the guide path, thereby inhibiting a pull-out movement of the rack. When acted upon in opposition to a pull-out direction, the stop is shiftable out of the guide path into a second position and, when acted upon in the pull-out direction of the rack, the stop is fixed in the guide path.
