  • Patent number: 10945583
    Abstract: A dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, including a washing compartment, at least one washing basket disposed in the washing compartment to hold items for washing, and a door configured to close the washing compartment. The door has a planar surface to form an inner face of the door as a whole or a part thereof. When the door is closed, a guide structure including a plurality of individual guide elements projects in a raised manner from the planar surface into an interior of the washing compartment and is disposed so as to guide a drying fluid flowing along the inner face of the door onto the items in the washing compartment, when the dishwasher is in drying mode.

  • Patent number: 10405728
    Abstract: A dishwasher includes a reservoir for storing washing fluid, and a control device configured for calling up at least one dishwashing program for controlling a washing cycle for washing items to be washed in a washing chamber and at least one preheating program for controlling a preheating cycle for preheating washing fluid for a washing cycle separately from each other. The preheating cycle includes a heating phase during which washing fluid is circulated and the circulated washing fluid is heated. The preheating cycle has downstream of the heating phase a pumping phase during which previously circulated and heated washing fluid is pumped into the reservoir.
