Abstract: A dishwasher is provided that allows the dishes that are to be cleaned that have been placed in a cleaning container to be washed and dried efficiently from an economic perspective while keeping the energy consumption associated therewith as low as possible. The dishwasher includes a washing container and a conduit system that is connected in an air-conveying manner to the washing container. A heat tube of the conduit system is used for both cooling, and thus drying, and heating air penetrating the washing container and both ends of the heat tube protrude into the washing container.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a plurality of water circuits in which rinsing liquid is circulated according to a program control unit. The circulation of the rinsing liquid results in the passage of the rinsing liquid through at least one filter element that captures dirt entrained with the rinsing liquid. The filter element may include a plurality of thread elements disposable between a dirt capture state in which the thread elements are under tension, whereupon the thread elements intercept dirt entrained with the rinsing liquid while the rinsing liquid passes through the thread elements, and a relaxed state, in which the thread elements are disposed under less tension than in the dirt capture state to facilitate release of intercepted dirt from the thread elements, whereby the at least one filter element can be cleared of intercepted dirt.

Abstract: A dishwasher machine with a compact device for spraying items to be rinsed is provided whereby the rinsing liquid is regularly sprayed in the rinsing container and the spray jets created by the spray device can be varied. To this end, the rinsing device comprises at least one spray channel which guides a rinsing liquid and comprises, on a side thereof facing the inside of the rinsing container, openings for the rinsing liquid and two open ends via which rinsing liquid can be supplied in a pressurized manner. At least one distributor is provided for regulating the supply of rinsing liquid to the spray channel in lieu of conventional mobile components such as spray arms, and various spray patterns can be produced by means of the distributor, improving the cleaning action of the dishwasher machine.

Abstract: A dishwasher is provided that advantageously enables reduction of the amount of water required during the rinsing cycle in order to thereby minimize operational costs and to improve environmental compatibility. A water preparation system has a water preparation container which can receive at least one part of the rinsing liquid used during operation of the dishwasher. The impurities contained in the rinsing liquid are at least partially biodegraded during a water preparation phase with the aid of microorganisms. By preparing and recycling at least one part of the used rinsing water, it is possible to reduce the requirement for fresh water. This enables the burden on the environment to be reduced since at least one part of the water used during the rinsing process is biologically cleansed while it is still in the dishwasher and the requirement for fresh water for the dishwasher is thus reduced.

Abstract: A water-conducting domestic appliance, in particular a domestic dishwasher, the water-conducting domestic appliance including a washing compartment for receiving items therein that are to be subjected to a handling process by the water-conducting domestic appliance; and a detergent dosing system, the detergent dosing system having a detergent dispenser, the detergent dispenser being configured to receive at least one cartridge that is configured to hold a dosing agent, the detergent dosing system being configured to communicate the washing compartment and an area surrounding the water-conducting domestic appliance with one another in the manner of an expansion opening via which a fluid under pressure in the washing compartment can be released to the area surrounding the water-conducting domestic appliance.
