Abstract: An apparatus for drying laundry including a process air system for guiding a process air stream along a process air path having a treatment chamber therealong at which the process air stream contacts laundry, a first fan for moving the process air stream, a cooling location of a heat exchanger, a heating location of a heat pump downstream of the heat exchanger, and a heater in addition to the heat pump for heating the process air stream; and a secondary air system for guiding a secondary air stream along a secondary air path, the secondary air path including a second fan for imparting motion to the secondary air stream, a heating location of the heat exchanger, and a cooling location of the heat pump, and, within the secondary air path, the cooling location of the heat pump is located downstream of the heating location of the heat exchanger.

Abstract: A dishwasher including at least one cutlery basket for accommodating cutlery items in a horizontal position, wherein the at least one cutlery basket is adjustable at least in sections, and wherein the at least one cutlery basket includes a first subsection having an adjustable clearance height, and a second subsection having an adjustable clearance height.

Abstract: A compressor includes a cylinder and a piston moveable in an oscillating manner in the cylinder and having transverse play in relation to a movement direction. An end face of the piston delimits a compression chamber in the cylinder. A diameter of the piston reduces toward the end face.

Abstract: A refrigeration device comprising an internal water conduit that contains a mounting site for an exchangeable water filter and at least one valve situated downstream of said filter, for controlling the water flow through the conduit. A chemically inert particle filter can be fitted to the mounting site.

Abstract: An electric-motor kitchen appliance, in particular an electric-motor handheld device, preferably a hand mixer, includes a switch. The invention also relates to a finger-actuated electric control for the switch, and to a method for switching on/off a kitchen appliance. The switch is unlocked when the safety switch is actuated by the finger of a user. The safety switch is electronically switched. The possibility of unintentionally operating the electric-motor of the kitchen appliance is reduced due to the manual operation of the two separate switches. As a result, the safety of the electric-motor kitchen appliance in the household is significantly increased.

Abstract: A household electrical appliance, in particular a washing machine, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, a tumble dryer or the like, is provided. The household electrical appliance includes a body portion and a cover for covering relationship with the body portion.

Abstract: An adjusting device for a domestic appliance, in particular, a cooking appliance, has at least one at least two-dimensional sensor area for setting at least one set point. The adjusting device includes an arithmetic unit operable to take into account at least one characteristic, depending on a user position, when setting the set point.

Abstract: A dishwasher is provided having a controller for switching on or off, or for selection of operational functions for the dishwasher, the controller thus providing improved ease of operation and being relatively unaffected by wear and contamination. The controller has at least one touch-sensitive surface with switching functions allocated to at least one operating function, whereby the switching functions of the touch-sensitive surface may be operated with a light contact and the relevant operating function is then switched on or off, or selected. The touch-sensitive surface of the controller preferably reacts to the change in the electromagnetic field, resulting from a touching of the touch-sensitive surface, whereupon the relevant operating function is switched on or off, or selected. Improved ease of use may be achieved, whereby only a slight effort is required for selection, or to switch on a particular rinsing program, or operating function on the controller.

Abstract: A baking oven including a holding part which is horizontally guided inside a baking chamber and can receive and hold a baking rack. The baking rack can be displaced between a baking position inside the baking chamber and a removed position at least partially in front of and outside of the baking chamber. The holding part includes a pair of retaining elements that are displaceably guided on opposite side walls of the cooking chamber, while being located at a distance from the upper and lower heating elements in the cooking chamber so as not to interfere with the heating elements.
