Abstract: A dishwasher, in particular a free-standing dishwasher or a high-level built-in dishwasher, includes an appliance door and a bottom-side plinth cover which is aligned essentially flush with a front face of the appliance door. The plinth cover has a top wall which faces a lower edge of the appliance door and is spaced from the lower edge of the appliance door to allow for an opening movement of the appliance door across a free movement gap. At least one lighting element is provided to allow illumination of the movement gap between the lower edge of the appliance door and the top wall of the plinth cover.

Abstract: A dishwasher is provided that includes a washing space in which the soiled articles can be positioned for cleaning and an operating device that operates during the cleaning operation and is arranged in an opening in a bounding face of the washing space and/or of a container which can be positioned in the washing space. A spray device for spraying cleaning fluid is integrated into the washing space in the operating device.

Abstract: A domestic appliance includes an operation indicator having an illumination element for emitting a light beam by means of which a gap between the domestic appliance and a surface adjacent to the domestic appliance can be illuminated, and a reflection element in the gap for directing or bundling light emitted by the illumination element.

Abstract: A water-bearing domestic appliance, in particular a dishwasher or washing machine. The appliance may include a hydraulic circuit and a stationary screening apparatus which has a screening face, which is arranged in the hydraulic circuit, for filtering recirculated washing water. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the screening face is formed so as to generate transverse flows which are directed transverse to the passage-flow direction of the screening face.

Abstract: A dishwasher with a controllable operation display panel, has a plurality of illumination elements for emitting light rays. When a medium necessary for normal operation of the dishwasher is lacking, some or all the illumination elements of the operation display panel can be intermittently activated.

Abstract: A method for executing a washing program in a dishwasher includes a spray system for spraying a washing liquid within a dishwasher onto crockery that has been disposed in the dishwasher as a washing program is executed. Before such spraying of the washing liquid, the washing liquid is heated to a predetermined temperature in a flow section that is separate from the spray system to an extent such that the washing liquid does not substantially impinge on crockery in the dishwasher as it is being heated in the flow section, whereupon the washing liquid is heated without substantially wetting crockery in the dishwasher. After the washing liquid has been heated to the predetermined temperature, the washing liquid is sprayed onto crockery, whereupon crockery in the dishwasher that essentially has not been heated is heated by the washing liquid.

Abstract: A crockery basket for a dishwashing machine includes a front side and a handle (1) secured to the front side for movement about a horizontal axis and configured to move outwardly in the opening direction of a door (5) of the dishwashing machine in response to opening of the door (5).

Abstract: A system for damping vibrations coming from a motor, such as a pump motor in a dishwasher. The motor includes a housing and freely oscillating means affixed to the housing for damping the characteristic vibrations of the motor. The oscillating means include at least one mass component affixed to the housing by at least one elastic linkage component.
