Abstract: A dishwasher includes a treatment compartment, a storage container in the treatment compartment, and a drive for moving the storage container out of and/or into the treatment compartment.

Abstract: A burner fire cap for a gas cooktop includes a substantially annular cover body. A plane is configured on the cover body. At least two bosses protruding from the plane are distributed in a peripheral direction of the fire cap on the plane. Fire holes are disposed on the bosses. In the burner fire cap for a gas cooktop, at least two bosses are disposed and the fire holes are disposed on the bosses. As compared with a burner fire cap for a gas cooktop in the prior art, the distribution of the fire holes on the fire cap is changed, thereby enhancing the uniformity for heating a bottom of a utensil by using a burner having the fire cap.

Abstract: A household appliance, particularly a dishwasher or washing machine, having a height-adjusting device for an appliance pedestal. The height-adjusting device may include at least one drive gear engaged with a transmission drive converting the rotary motion of the drive gear into a lift motion of the appliance pedestal. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the drive gear includes a torque-limiting element operable to enable a deflecting motion of the drive gear from an operating position when a limit torque is exceeded, and which releases the engagement between the drive gear and the transmission drive.

Abstract: A method for determining the water storage capacity of textiles, wherein the rinsing phase has at least one rinsing sequence which follows a drying sequence. The method is characterized in that a first water absorption is measured during the wetting phase and a second water absorption is measured during at least one of the rinsing sequences, in that the two water absorption measurements are compared with one another and the water storage capacity of the textiles is defined using the comparison.

Abstract: A method to improve the cleansing effect on non-delicate washing which is to be washed in a washing machine comprising a washing drum. The washing drum is driven in at least one A phase (intensive wetting) and in at least one second B phase (high wash mechanics) within the washing and/or rinsing processes. Said phases are successive at least once during said washing and/or rinsing processes. In the A phase (intensive wetting), the washing drum accelerates in the first rotational direction (+) up to a rotational speed n1 which is significantly greater than the applicational rotational speed and in the other rotational direction (?) up to a second rotational speed n2 which is significantly less than the applicational speed. In the B phase (high wash mechanics), the washing drum accelerates in both rotational directions up to rotational speeds whereat the individual items of washing are highly spun and are rubbed against each other.

Abstract: A dishwasher machine (1), in particular a domestic dishwasher machine, is described, comprising a washing container (2) and devices for washing items to be washed by means of washing solution, as well as a sound wave generator (5), wherein the sound wave generator (5) is used to generate a sound wave which at least assists the drying process of the items to be washed. In order to achieve the highest possible efficiency of the drying process, the sound wave generator (5) is designed to deliver sound waves of different frequency and/or amplitude.

Abstract: A hob includes at least one heating zone, a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of a cookware element placed on the heating zone, and a control unit for operating the heating zone. The control unit is constructed to heat up the cookware element in a heat-up phase and to control the temperature of the cookware element to a target temperature in a holding phase in at least one operating mode. In order to enable an energy-saving simmer operation, the control unit detects a boiling point of the liquid contained in the cookware element during the heat-up phase and determines the target temperature as a function of the boiling point.

Abstract: In a method for operating an adsorption dryer, a process air flow, generated by at least one blower, is routed at least at times through an adsorption apparatus and over a textile goods in care during a textile care process in a “dry” operating mode to thereby charge a reversibly dehydratable adsorbent of the adsorption apparatus with moisture. A charge state of the adsorbent with water is detected and is displayed at least after the end of the “drying” textile care process. The absorbent is desorbed at least in part during a subsequent, selected and started textile care process in a “refresh” operating mode, and the desorbed moisture is routed as a moist process air flow into a receptacle for refreshing textile goods which are stored or hung in a stationary manner.
