Abstract: A household dishwasher includes a washing container having a floor, and a spray arm supported for rotation about an axis of rotation and including spray nozzles for applying washing liquor and/or fresh water to a dishwasher load received in the washing container. The spray arm is designed so as to be capable of being disassembled and re-assembled along the axis of rotation, in order to transfer the spray arm from a first mode, in which the spray nozzles point away from the floor, into a second mode, in which the spray nozzles point toward the floor, and vice versa.

Abstract: A household dishwasher includes a dishwasher cavity defining a treatment chamber, a loading unit accommodated in the treatment chamber for holding items to be washed, a washing apparatus configured to apply washing liquid to the treatment chamber, and a fan wheel mounted in the treatment chamber above the loading unit for rotation in a blow-off operating phase such that the fan wheel draws in air from the treatment chamber, accelerates and moves the air forward and downward as an air flow in the treatment chamber. The air flow strikes a blow-off region at a top of the loading unit and blowing off washing liquid from atop the items being washed.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a pump device operated by a pump current for supply of washing liquor to a first spray device via a first hydraulic arrangement for providing a first washing zone and to a second spray device via a second hydraulic arrangement for providing a second washing zone. A third spray device is connected to one of the first and second hydraulic arrangements for providing an intensive washing zone. In a first switching state, the third spray device is isolated from the one hydraulic arrangement, and in a second switching state the third spray device is connected to the one hydraulic arrangement. A control device determines a current switching state of the third spray device as a function of a difference between the pump current when washing liquor is supplied to the first hydraulic arrangement and when washing liquor is supplied to the second hydraulic arrangement.

Abstract: A method for controlling a domestic appliance includes the following steps: determining conventional operating parameters when the domestic appliance is in operation; determining a correlation of the operating parameters with respect to external information; and determining a proposal for operating the domestic appliance with the modified operating parameters if the external information deviates from a conventional value.

Abstract: A dishwasher, in particular household dishwasher, includes a dishwasher cavity for receiving an item to be washed, a rotatable fan wheel arranged in the dishwasher cavity and configured to draw in air and to blow out the air, and a motor operably connected to the fan wheel and operating at a rotational speed which is variable over time.

Abstract: A dishwasher includes a dishwashing container, a lower holder for items to be washed arranged in the dishwashing container, and an upper holder for items to be washed which is arranged in the dishwasher container above the lower holder. A control device executes a dishwashing program from a number of dishwashing programs for washing the items to be washed by actuating a hydraulic facility in such a manner that in a first segment of the dishwashing program a washing liquor having a first washing liquor temperature is only sprayed by a lower spray facility onto the lower holder and in a second segment of the dishwashing program following the first segment washing liquor having a second washing liquor temperature that is lower than the first washing liquor temperature is sprayed by an upper spray facility onto the lower holder and the upper holder.

Abstract: A dishwasher, in particular a household dishwasher, includes a mechanism for modifying odor. The mechanism for modifying odor includes an ozone generator for odor neutralization in a dishwasher cavity and a system for fragrance introduction into the dishwasher cavity. A control device has stored therein a process, which firstly provides for the odor neutralization by the ozone generator and then introduction of a new fragrance by the system for fragrance introduction.

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.

Abstract: In a method for operating a household dishwasher with a control apparatus for carrying out a washing program from a plurality of washing programs for washing washware arranged in a washing chamber, an optical sensor signal of the washing chamber is captured by an optical sensor of an external facility that is external to the household dishwasher. At least one intensive washing zone for intensively washing the washware in the washing chamber is determined in response to the captured optical sensor signal, and a drive facility is actuated to drive a spraying facility for spraying the washware with washing liquid, such that the determined at least one intensive washing zone is embodied by the spraying facility.
